Iran War Update

[Porter]

Wow…. I’ve never heard about this attack on our military till today, of course it happened 4 months before I was born in 1967. The attack on the USS Liberty was done by Israel intentionally from what Massie is saying on the floor of Congress.

Watch and listen. Just thought it was interesting considering Israel drug us into this war.

Watch and listen to what? This was an awful mistake that happened almost 60 years ago. I don’t believe it has any bearing on our involvement in Iran.

If you listen to the speech it wasn’t a mistake according to Massie and I am talking about our supposed ally Israel.

The survivors are on the chamber floor supporting what he is saying.

Massie is not the only one who believes otherwise. It’s already been settled. Massie just wants to fan flames. He voted against the border wall, so I don’t care to hear anything he has to say. It’s an opinion piece. He’ll spew his sour grapes till he leaves.

So Massie voted against a stand alone Border Wall Bill?

Good bait.

It’s not bait, you’re being a little disingenuous by saying he voted against the border wall bill. There was a whole lot of nonsense in that bill money wise. Keep in mind we are almost 40 trillion in debt. Let’s give it a little context why don’t we. Here’s what Grok has to say about it which is pretty accurate. 
 

Yes, in a sense, but it’s nuanced. Thomas Massie voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in 2025, a major spending package that included border security and immigration funding often tied to border wall efforts. He was one of only two Republicans to vote no, mainly because he opposed the bill’s massive impact on the national debt, which he said would fuel inflation and higher interest rates—not because he opposes a border wall itself. Massie has backed border wall funding before, like over $5 billion in 2019 through regular appropriations and co-sponsoring a 2023 bill for $15 billion more. But he’s consistently pushed back on executive overreach, like Trump’s 2019 national emergency declaration to redirect funds, arguing Congress should control spending. Trump and critics have hammered him for voting against the border wall because of that big bill, but his record shows he’s supported physical barriers when the process follows Congress’s constitutional role. It’s more about fiscal hawkishness and separation of powers than being anti-wall.

I did my research. It was a baited question and I didn’t bite. I knew about the bill. At least I can converse with you without referring to Massie as your savior. I know better than to make that reference. It’s all good.

No bait, just admit saying he didn’t vote for the border wall bill was disingenuous knowing his history of voting. I have one Savior which is Jesus Christ. 
 

I know that bothers you that he’s not a Trump puppet. Our 40 trillion debt is more of a threat to our country than Iran imo. But hey keep agreeing with every single thing Trump say or does that’s your right.

It’s been nice conversing on an adult level. You‘ve used the phrase “get the hook out of your mouth” several times, which tells me how you operate. 
I guess you forgot about voting against border wall funding in 2019 when Trump declared national emergency. It wasn’t disingenuous. Have a good evening.

This sounds just like you Baddog. Lol
