Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has accused FBI Director Kash Patel of lying to Congress about the Jeffrey Epstein files.The Kentucky Republican made the allegation in a social media exchange with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, whom Massie prodded to unredact the names of potential co-conspirators ...
The Republican is Thomas Massie, as expected. It seems that he is one of a few Republicans who will act ethically as long as the topic is Epstein.
Only because he’s gone after November. After that, we won’t have his help. There are a lot of other outgoing MAGAs that aren’t speaking up, hoping to slip out of this with nobody remembering that they were part of it. That’s why carving a Swastika into their foreheads is so important.
He also defended Alex Pretti carrying a gun, saying it’s not a death sentence but a right.
Would he have said that if Alex was a legal US Citizen carrying a gun legally but instead he was a brown man? Probably not, just because Massie argues against his own team he’s still a leopard with the same spots. GOP, always assume ulterior motives.
There used to be some Republicans that I respected to some degree, even if I disagreed with their policies. John McCain, Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney are examples.
Now the only hope I have for current Republican politicians is that some of them are secretly opposing Trump because of their own ambitions. I don’t think a good person could have kept quiet about Trump.
The ones you respected have done some terrible shit in the name of status quo. Some of it has flown under the radar.
The politicians I mentioned stood out because they didn’t always toe the party line. They actually represented their constituents, and that’s the bare minimum I think you need to be an elected representative. Whatever else they’ve done, the fact that they actually served as representatives makes them stand head and shoulders above the usual throngs of spineless losers who serve as our congresspersons.
When you give the party as much power as our politicians do, it violates the most basic principles that this country was founded upon.
The ones you mentioned are all despicable people, maybe do some research. They literally just acted somewhat reserved and dignified in public while performing their atrocities. I’d argue that’s actually worse.
That Bible they’re always thumping has a term for people like them: “whitewashed tomb”
