Its time now for Republicans to hold their own to account. Massie needs to go and republicans need to lead the charge.
I thought Jim Jordan was a horses behind, then along came Massie ! This guy is off the rails and even his own side is ashamed of his behavior. What a clown, the people of KY must have very low standards when it comes to who they elect.

The only clowns are the kept children who need government to raise them from cradle to grave. You actually think putting in billions of dollars of pork that have nothing to do with corona is the thing to do right now?

Sen Warren was right, "men, if you can find one".

If it has nothing to do with corona it doesn't need to be in the bill. THAT is being realistic.

No, that's confusing an "ought" with an "is".

lol No confusing on my end at all. The truth tells us that many parts of the corona bill have nothing to do with corona.

Yeah, cool story, bro. Except of course, there is nothing in there about Japanese quails on toot. But you already knew that, didn't you?

If there's pork in that bill that you think shouldn't be there, why don't you give us some examples? Some examples of the things that Massie risked hundreds of lives to grandstand for his idiot base? That is - some examples of things that are really there.

It might be too much to ask however, imho, reality always trumps ideology. Ideology often acts like a 'blind spot' to reality.

It was an example of the type of wasteful spending government does time and time again. Not too hard to figure out if you care about the truth.

So you admit either you were too lazy to look for it or you don't have the knowledge to understand what a non related item is. You actually need someone to explain to you the obvious? lol Figures.

$93,000,000 Congress ($25 million of which is for "salaries and expenses")
$25,000,000 for the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts
$7,500,000 for the Smithsonian Institution

"This section obliges the head of each federal department or agency to “develop and implement standards and procedures to ensure, to the maximum extent possible as permitted by law, the use of minority banks and minority credit unions to serve the financial needs of each such department or agency.

All publicly traded corporations receiving federal aid would, under the Pelosi proposal, be required to file quarterly disclosures to the SEC detailing their demographic “composition, including data on diversity (including racial and gender composition) and any policies and audits related to diversity.”


Aid Recipients Must Allow Labor to Appoint One-Third of Corporate Board Members

Amending the Help America Vote Act to Require States to Accommodate Same-Day Registrants

Prohibiting Institutions of Higher Learning from Disclosing the Immigration Status of Students

Grant Program for “Sustainable Aviation Fuel”

Mandatory Carbon Offsets for Airlines

Anything else you want me to do for you? Grocery shopping? Change the air filters?

The only lives at risk are the kept children who think government should run their life.
Men, if you can find one.

How is it helpful to choose to be influenced by those government representatives & others who clannishly insist that "government is the problem" & then, when elected, proceed to prove their point?

I actually just donated to him. lol.
Massie is AWESOME.

No recorded vote on the largest spending bill in history?
No accountability? Get the hell outta here. Massie is 100% RIGHT.

I see we're sending 11 billion dollars to Africa. Yeah, that should help Americans.

What the heck are you talking about? I never said there was no pork - jesus, learn to read, will you? Or if one of your liberal neighbors has a 5-year old child, ask them to come over and read it for you. I'm just asking you to support your argument by supplying the data on which you based your argument, instead of the made-up fairy tale you tried to run past us the first time.

I'm not doing your research for you, for christ's sake. I'm just trying to see if you actually know what you're talking about, and apparently you do. Good for you. But you maybe should have used those examples in the first place.

Nah; I wouldn't trust you not to screw it up. I'd suggest you spend the time reading a newspaper or something, but that's probably too much to ask.

So... in your parallel universe, every one of the 30,000 people who've died form this so far died because they were "kept children who think the government should tun their life".

In what possible alternate reality does that even make the least bit of sense?
