So be believed in 3 term limit or not? He could have left. Rules for thee type stuff

Hold everyone on that list to the same standard then. Revolutionary, really.

The OP thinks this is a gotcha but this is an incredibly misinformed post.

1. Over 130 members of congress have signed this exact pledge. But Massie was "revolutionary really". Here's who all have signed it in our current congress: LINK again, revolutionary, really.

2. The pledge says right there that he pledged to CO-SPONSOR the bill. Why is he being singled out for not doing more than he pledged? If 130 people pledge to sponsor a bill do you know what they're called?

3. No where in that pledge is there any promise to leave congress if term limits dont go into law. Why pretend like he made that promise?


If you really had shite against him you wouldnt have to make bullshite up.

I will say that Massie losing was clearly his own doing. No one worked harder to get him out of office than Thomas Massie. He simply stopped trying to do his job and represent his constituents and work within the framework of our political system to push his ideas and agendas forward. He chose to go on a self-destructive mission, that often times looked to be driven more by personal qualms than any sort of principles.

 I ended up voting for Massie yesterday.

Nuanced take on Massie

Where was the nuance?

This sucks bad for him. The Rangers traded away Marcus Semien this year to open a spot for Smith to become their full time second baseman. He's been a utility player for them for the last 4 seasons and now he finally found his home. Started the year ice cold but hit .350 over his last 7 games before getting injured. His backup, Ezequiel Duran, is currently having his best start of his career hitting .270

It would be cool to not have to sacrifice dollars at the pump AND our boys at the front not have to sacrifice anything at all. But that will get downvoted no doubt.

Economy is red hot

Lol no it is not.

GDP grew 0.5% in the 4Q of last year. Thats the worst 4Q in 14 years.

Unemployment is currently at its highest mark since Covid and well higher than it was pre-covid.

Housing sales remain at 30 year lows.

Inflation is back with a vengeance. We are printing money again. Or as we now call it "buying back debt".

The best way to get someone to do something they dont want to do is to convince them its their idea.

"Omg we love cnn polls now"

All of the lives lost mentioned are tragic and avoidable. The 13 in this conflict, the 13 Biden lost in Afghanistan, the ones lost in training excersizes, and the 40+ in Chicago. Somewhere a kid is suddenly without a parent, or a parent without their child, a spouse is suddenly alone... and they're all wondering why. The fact that there are more deaths somewhere else does not lessen the tragedy of any death.
