I think you have me confused with another poster.

What is it that you believe I’ve said about Massie?

I haven’t mentioned Massie.

Hmm, that's interesting. Massie voted Yes to saving McCarthy. And before that Massie voted Yes on McCarthy as Speaker.
And Trump endorsed McCarthy before that, and MJ after that.

You chimed in on the conversation. In this thread we have what appears to be 2 sets of posters. Ones that agree with Massie on not voting for the CR, ones that think he missed it this time.

Your comments were in support of Massie by stating people who think he missed the boat is cult45 doing mental gymnastics.


My response was to move past that crap to get to the heart of the matter. It is beginning to appear that you are going to avoid it. But here it is again:

I agree with Massie on spending, but he's not right on this.

We are cutting spending. We are about to do a deep dive into medicare and medicaid. In fact, DOGE has begun reviewing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) systems.

But that appears to not be a good thing for you. Why?

And none of that is true. It's opinion, which you are entitled to.
It's demonstrably true. Read this thread

You are not getting anywhere with that. It makes you look foolish and not capable of grasping the conversation.

Yes. A small segment here are very good at mental gymnastics.

See the Yass comment denigrating Massie.

Apparently the poster is too stupid to know that Yass donated to Trump.

You may have missed that idiocy.

He's against spending for those. He just voted that way.

How did MAGA and Trump do when given the opportunity this week? (Note: this is the third opportunity you've had to respond as you've refused twice prior)

DOGE has cut more spending in 3 months

DOGE has cut 0 spending

The CR is the spending. MAGA just voted to support spending at Biden levels. That means more printing, deficits, and a larger debt.

DOGE is completely irrelevant if we continue to spend at these levels. The money just doesn't go to executive agencies and sits in Treasury accounts. But make no mistake it's printed and our debt increases accordingly.

The question is why you support this.

Not Biden who was sending money to promote transgenderism and all that.

This CR cuts only like $7B, which is nothing.

We could stop paying for all that shite. Like Massie has said.

Of course, if we did that, the problem would solve itself and Trump would lose that talisman.
