I watched a video interview with Cynthia West. She has credibility and integrity. Massie pursued her in what appeared to be an extremely aggressive manner when he first started contacting her. She broke off the relationship with Massie and when she filed a complaint with an ethics division of the government, he did offer her $5,000. She was also fired from the job he got for her. She was later offered $60,000 to withdraw her complaint, and they wanted her to sign an NDA. She refused to withdraw her complaint and nothing has been done with it.
Bravo on this post, Alex! Itβs about time the details of Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, be exposed. He is a poser appearing as though he is s sophisticated intellectual who considers all sides of an argument, but he is nothing short of an anti-Israel isolationist. How dumb can a person get to claim that Trump is starting forever wars, when the mullahs and Iman of Iran have been threatening death to Israel and Death to America for decades. Massie is actually attempting to destroy AIPAC which is an assault on our first amendment right of free speech.
Please explain to me how destroying AIPAC is an assault on our first amendment right of free speech. You do understand that AIPAC is funded by Zionists and the Israeli government and their contributions are to ensure that any complaints about Israel are censored and to provide our tax money to give the Israelis a better standard of living than we have, don't you?
AIPAC is a political entity whereby Americans can donate money in an effort to support pro Israel candidates and to lobby for advocacy, much like the American Coalition for Ukraine. For Massie to claim that AIPAC is an Israeli entity is a lie. Sending money to US political organization allows them to speak for those who donate to achieve political goals. They raise awareness through lobby efforts.
This was something that started off very reasonable, and made me reconsider Massie, but then you recirculated the bogus smear story the Democrats paid for.
Mr. Not Brown. If you want anyone to take you seriously quit throwing out insults like a child and show some real common sense with decent sensible comments. otherwise Leave the debate to the adults.
Women love men who are manly enough to shave their heads and look great. Yul Brenner was a fabulous actor known for his handsome smooth hairless look. He was in a ton of cowboy movies that you most likely missed because you were messing with your joy stick.
If Republicans are not going to pass fiscal reform then they can go beg Democrats for more "status quo" overspending and own their failures without* Massie's vote.
AIPAC et al are blowing $20M primarying Massie. If only they fought that hard against Democrats...
You always make me think, consider, and broaden my understanding. Thank you. I believe in principled conduct. I work very hard to walk my talk. At the same time, that principled stand must be tempered and not enter into scrupulosity. The practical outcome must matter. I can't get everything I want every time. But influencing a situation to create a better outcome must be considered. 100% or nothing, all the time, is not realistic in this world, especially in that swamp of grifters and liars we call Congress. If the conduct that defeats the stated goals is to create an image one can use for fund raising, that is not a principled stand. It's just another grift. The overall result must matter or, as your article shows, the outcome contains far more damage than the original action so strongly resisted.
Any Republican who sides with Democrats Ro Khanna and Ilhan Omar, is NOT about America but about playing dirty political games. Massie lacks moral character and uses his position for personal power.
I think youβre leaving out something important. Why is it that when Nancy Pelosi had a similar slim majority she could get exactly what the Democrats wanted without mushy compromises? Could it be that Speaker Johnson is (1) incompetent and (2) not particularly principled? Itβs worth exploring.

Everytime they build a guy up as the greatest thing since corn on the cob down they go polls are fixed by the biggest donor

Nothing bogus about the story.

Speaker Johnson is the worst in the history of the House.
I thought Paul Ryan was terrible. Johnson just isn't as obvious.
The most normal caucus ever. The GOP is saving the Democrats from honest elections.
The GOP is Grift.
Without the Democrats outrages and atrocities the GOP has no grist for the fundraising grift mill.
Mr Muse you are bald and fat.
Mr. Not Brown. If you want anyone to take you seriously quit throwing out insults like a child and show some real common sense with decent sensible comments. otherwise Leave the debate to the adults.
Is he not fat and bald? Not an insult if it's true.
Women love men who are manly enough to shave their heads and look great. Yul Brenner was a fabulous actor known for his handsome smooth hairless look. He was in a ton of cowboy movies that you most likely missed because you were messing with your joy stick.
Marlon Brando too
Is this the same Tate Brown that I blocked on my site for being nasty?
You liked your own comment retard?
An illumination well beyond the media....and maybe the Speaker.
But seriously, we should now consider the President's role in these maneuvers.
If Republicans are not going to pass fiscal reform then they can go beg Democrats for more "status quo" overspending and own their failures without* Massie's vote.

Because Pelosi ruled with a steel fist for funding anyone out of line. Dems stick together no matter the bill because they choose power over all else.
Absolutely. If Republicans did that we might get some decent laws for a change.
Has anyone seen Massie and Tlaib in the same place at the same time? They vote in lockstep.
This is factually incorrect. Why lie?
