While we have beat Massie to death....

He got in the way of Trumps agenda....

H.CON.RES 14 - only No vote by Republican

Full year Appropriations Act(Gov. Funding) Sole Republican NO vote

Big Beautiful Bill - No Vote

Mike Johnson Speaker vote - only Republican NO vote, 

If your district elected Trump by a 36 point margin, you should be voting for the Republican bills that Trump supports - They are "representatives" of their peeps.

Vote on line item bills, problem solved.

Let each politician put his name on pork bills that drive up the deficit instead of rolling it all into one big beautiful bill with just a few things that are good for the country and the rest of it is 💩. It’s kinda like Nancy Pelosi’s famous line 

 

Kinda like when Massie, MGT, Boebert and Mace was able to get the Epstein Files Transparency Act to be voted on. It put all politicians on the spot to vote for it and if they didn’t they looked like a pedo protector. It even put Trump on the spot to make him sign it which he didn’t want to because it would hurt some of his friends. But he had to sign or he would have looked like a Pedo Protector. Doesn’t sound like a good choice of friends to me. My point is by voting on line item bills it creates accountability of the politicians.

We agree on that - I just think it is impossible

Presidents from both sides have wanted to do that with never enough support to make it happen

AIPAC’s X post about Massie and others they helped defeat in current elections is very interesting and informative.

Massie had also just introduced legislation that would have required groups like AIPAC to register as foreign agents.

No wonder they were upset.

Of course why would the thieves get rid of their gravy train. Our government is broken.

Have you tried the Anasazi beans?

Yep. They're in my regular "bean" rotation ever since you told me about them several years ago. I love 'em! I usually can only find them locally at HEB though.

Reagan says this is winning. Smh

If you’re going by margins, Massie received 99.6% of the vote in 2024, and was so solid he ran unopposed except for a write in. So, I’d say the people he represented liked him better—or as well as Trump—at the last election.

This race was shaped by outside influence. All you have to do is look at the funding. Even Massie got less than 20% campaign funding from the district. Gallrein was less than 10%. Gallrein received more funding from AIPAC aligned sources than from ‘normal’ American PACs & donors.

Whether you like Massie, or not—and I don’t know all of his votes at this point—you have to admit this seat was bought and paid for by Israel. Even you have to admit that. They have no intention of losing their over $6 Billion/year of aid.

Read their X post. They even admit it, and appear proud of it. They happily list every candidate they took out that wasn’t supportive of Israel as much as they liked.

I’m not an anti Israel person. But, when a group specifically exists to lobby for a foreign government, they should have to follow FARA, and register as a foreign agent. No different than the crackdowns that have been happening against China, or anyone else. Now, the Admin is cracking down on Mexican Consulates for activities similar to AIPAC.

Would you be okay with LULAC putting in so much funding, false info & lies that Talarico was elected? I’ll answer for you. Of course not.
