Kind of sums up Massie’s career.

Massie: “I did nothing……. Re-elect me to my 7th term in Congress. But no, im not part of the swamp.”

Weird. You seriously think a house member should be sending his staff of 18 out across the country to investigate fraud. :lol:

quote:

---

He’s a United States congressmen that didn’t vote for a bill but didn’t inform the public. What do you think? So now he’s only a staunch conservative to his state?

---

You're expecting a congressman with a staff that is capped at 18, to, in addition to the normal work of a house member, go out and investigate fraud all over the country.

You're arguing that it's not enough for this rep to rely on his party's leader's DOJ, with over 100,000 employees, to do the investigating of fraud in federal gov't programs.

The onus would be on the government to find a way to make the ban about something like safety, as in the government of X country was so bad we could not be sure that those coming were actually from that country or that it was not a security threat to let them in.

---

That's the question I asked. Country X is antagonistic towards the US. It's people overwhelmingly support the narrative/notion of bringing the US to its knees. Immigrants from Country X have perpetrated 20 mass casualty attacks in the US.

Religion is not mentioned in any of that.

And my question is, can we ban people from Country X regardless of their religion or whether Country X is monotheist?

Because the elections are not wide swings. 10% of the GOP stays home they lose big

So you believe the candidate/party with overwhelming relative support will lose elections? Again, not saying you're wrong. Was just curious about what you were suggesting.

Trumps a boomer...he's not going to change. What he doesn't see is that most folks are like 70%+ in agreement with him but dislike the 20-30% of stuff enough to pull support.

---

I'm not suggesting you're wrong, but aren't you missing half the equation here?

If the people like 70% of Trump and dislike 30% of Trump and are tired of his act, but they like 25% of Dem policies and dislike 75% of them - are Dems cleaning up in '26 and '28?

In this specific instance, it restricts government action based on either endorsing or punishing specific religions.

---

And US law requires a predominately Muslim country to be considered a religion, as opposed to a country?

quote:

---

What you’re describing is a minority.

---

So as long as fraud consumes less than 50% of the funding, it's all good? :lol:

quote:

---

I trust the law will continue to hold those accountable who do not uphold their end of the social contract.

---

That's not only stupid but flies in the face of well-documented recent history.

The OP was a screenshot of Massie's criticisms of miliatary intervention in Iran aka "war" for some folks on this board

---

Okay, but I was responding to this part of your post -

quote:

---

So what "war" are all the TDS Masshole JOOtards melting about that we're in

---

And I answered - we're discussing the never-ending support of Ukraine. Not a hot shooting match someone is pretending we're involved in.

quote:

---

no matter what level of miliatry intervention is involved... Those who apparently believe any level of military intervention is equivalent to long, protracted military conflicts in far off countries with American troops on the ground engaged in combat ala the Cheney/W. Bush administration

---

Well, I explained where you went wrong but I do have a question in response to the above part of your post.

I think Trump was just typing words but if you took his words as a president speaking, do you believe we could put boots on the ground in Iran to save protesters from their government in some sort of limited action?

"JOOtard" - would be the people who think Israel needs to be wiped off the earth in its most extreme context; or simply those who believe Israel and Jews are 100% evil, responsible for all ills in the world today, they deserve all the ire and terrorism aimed at the state and its citizens by muslims, and they control U.S. foreign policy... and not the other way around. At the very least I would argue its a reciprocal relationship, given that Israel is the number one customer of our defense industry and military industrial complex with regard to purchasing U.S. military weaponry, and has been for decades.

---

How many posters think Israel needs to be wiped off the earth or think Jews are 100% evil? I have not been on this board that much lately and may be missing a lot of anti-Isreal threads.

My personal opinion - I'm not a fan is Israel's outsized influence on our government/US policy (foreign and domestic) and media but think it's Hamas that needs to be wiped from the face of the earth.

Who stated satisfied? Not me.

Then why are you arguing with me about it? :lol:

quote:

Yes I do.

You have a weird way of saying "I agree with you".

- Is taking it to the Deep state. Nobody ever thought it would be a short fight. Nobody.

---

I didn't suggest that the deep state should be in shambles today. I argued disappointment in the lack of progress on this issue.

- Deficit.. it just dropped by 3% in year 1. Nobody thought this would be an over night fight either.

---

Correct that nobody though this would be an overnight fight. Wrong that a 3% drop from Biden-era deficits is something to be satisfied with.

- end support for wars in Europe and the ME? What wars have we started again?

Do you understand the difference between "support" and "start"?
