Congressman Massie needs to be kicked out of congress.
it can be done. it should be done ASAP. As a republican voter, and supporter of the Conservative Caucasus, i have stated that democrats should make Nancy Pelosi pay for her overtly politicization of this COVID bill.
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?
So no problem with 350k going to study the sex lives of Japanese quails while on cocaine?
If it has nothing to do with corona it doesn't need to be in the bill. THAT is being realistic.
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.
I'm not a fan of pork and I'm very critical of bailouts to businesses that present a moral hazard in the face of a world of changing technology and culture, but we are in an unprecedented emergency. At some point, people must be realistic and defer to reality rather than ideology.
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.

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?

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?
