@KobeissiLetter So in other words, Iran is in a better position after this agreement then before the agreement Trump tore it up. 1000’s of lives and billions later. Trump should be arrested.
Let's not overcomplicate this. Thomas Massie lost because he took on the Machine. His loss was not the result of differing philosophies, but brute force politics.
This is not, as some Trump apologists are overly intellectualizing, a backlash to Massie being obstinate (he voted with Republicans more than 90 percent of the time), or his insufficient enthusiasm for enforcing immigration law (every purported example of this is Massie voting against an unconstitutional bill that also contained something ostensibly hawkish on immigration), or "Jew hatred" as the most irresponsible accounts on here are suggesting.
Massie’s cardinal sin has always been trying to keep Washington confined to its own purported constitutional restraints. For that he’s being chased out of town.
He also touched the third rail. He lifted the veil on Washington, enabling us to get peak at how power is actually wielded behind the scenes.
Which brings us to Epstein: If you still believe this topic is some harebrained conspiracy theory, I understand you have not looked into it for yourself. And I can sympathize. It's overwhelming & confusing & seemingly dark & ultimately it's just easier to wait & see what other people tell us about it. And when the corporate media instead focuses on more mundane matters, we eventually presume the whole thing was just nonsense after all.
Everyone is on their own intellectual journey; not everyone wants to jump straight into the deep end of the pool. I understand it's easier, & preferable, to believe simpler narratives, such as Trump being a heroic figure here to deliver us from the fallout of far-left progressivism.
But if that were true, he wouldn't have had any issues with Massie. The reality -- however reluctant Trump voters are to acknowledge it -- is that things have been getting steadily worse since his second term began. To wit:
Inflation: January 2025, 2.9 percent; today, 3.8 percent (and unfortunately it's ramping up)
Unemployment: 4.0 percent in Jan. 2025; today, 4.3 percent. Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate fell to 61.8 percent, its lowest since October 2021, so the headline understates the softening.
National debt: $36.22 trillion in Jan. 2025; today, $39 trillion.
Debt servicing: Taxpayers are currently spending $3 billion/day just on interest, eclipsing the Pentagon budget, and soon Social Security.
Foreign policy: Chaos, which is suspiciously profitable for those in the know
Almost every reliable economic indicator is flashing red, signaling an imminent global economic crash. And when that happens, you back be sure the Blackrocks of the world will use it as a major buying opportunity, further consolidating their power.
Trump voters can keep pulling the wool over their eyes and pretending it’s not real. But eventually the truth will become inescapable. And when that day comes & they seek solutions, they can talk to Thomas Massie.
@JunkScience Fuck you, he was the only decent Congressmen we had and the pedophile genocidal Israel class bought an election by convincing indoctrinated boomers to vote against him,
