Few things in Washington are more predictable than Congress renewing surveillance powers and promising to reform them later.
I spoke on the House floor against the “temporary” clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program.
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
Step 1: Initiate a deadly decapitation strike during negotiations
Step 2: Track any and all Iranian leaders via their electronic devices and bomb them when detected
Step 3: Complain about slow communications with them
I love that Trump is putting his face on the $250 bill. It'll be a constant reminder that it costs $250 to get what used to cost us $100. Let that be your legacy you narcissistic imbecile.
I am 95% done with a deal to buy a new house. The remaining 5% of negotiations are focused on the price and whether the owners are actually willing to sell
God bless Thomas Massie.
He walks out of this with his honor intact. He’s a patriot & kept his integrity.
As long as the voters give their votes to whoever can run the most ads we will have politicians who are purchased by foreign governments & corporate interests.
Thomas Massie’s defeat is the clearest sign that this country is no longer American.
Sad day for America, great day for foreign interests.
Bought and paid for.
Thanks to Donald Trump, we now have two Democratic parties. With the defeat of @RepThomasMassie for being a principled fiscal conservative, the Republican Party basically exists in name only. We have two big-government political parties, each offering its own brand of socialism.
Thomas Massie: "I vote with Republicans 91% of the time. And the 9% I don't, they're taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country."
An absolute mic drop. 🎤⬇️
@RepJackKimble Hahaha this take might be the most disconnected from reality that I’ve ever seen. The 10% approval rating that you and your colleagues have is far too high.
Thomas Massie: “The force of the whole swamp has come down on me.”
“It’s three billionaires.”
“They’re hedge fund managers and gambling magnates.”
“They’re upset that I’ve never voted for foreign aid.”
“Particularly foreign aid to Israel.”
“And they’re upset that I vote against the wars.”
“These billionaires are funding a super PAC called MAGA Kentucky.”
“They are not MAGA, and they have never been to Kentucky.”
“There will be $6 million spent this week on TV and radio and mail.”
“Fox News, they’ve got a monopoly on the screens in a lot of Republican houses, particularly people between the ages of 65 and 75.”
“For the last 18 months, they’ve not invited me on a single show.”
“They have blacklisted me.”
“I can’t get on TVs in the living rooms of the people that vote in this election unless I can buy TV ads.”

Here’s my POSITIVE ad for the FINAL week. This one’s a minute long because I had too much to say to fit into thirty seconds! Let me know what you think. If you like it and want to help me broadcast it, please chip in here: https://t.co/r10M5btnhD
President Trump is frustrated because the Israelis sold him the pipe dream that arming the Kurds & other Iranian dissidents would quickly topple the Iranian regime, leading to a quick victory. This failed to happen because it was a plan based on wishful thinking not the realities on the ground.
Instead of being mad at the Kurds, who are our critical counter terrorism partners, he should focus his ire on the Israeli government officials who lied to him to get us entrenched in this war and whoever in his inner circle that allowed the Israelis to manipulate U.S. policy to support Israel's primary goal.
Israel's primary goal was to get us into the war, not to make sure the pipe dream they were selling would actually work.
Israel has always understood that they can't topple the Iranian regime without us doing the majority of the fighting, they needed to get us into the war.
The Israelis kept their goal in mind when feeding us "intel" about Iran. Unfortunately, President Trump's inner circle failed to keep Israel's main goal in mind when receiving Israeli "intel" and providing context to the President.
