Sometimes the apropos of the thing is just too much fun to notice. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is missing in action ever since his slip and fall/concussion a few weeks ago (insert shades of prior HRC issues here). The conspicuous absence of media questioning his continued absence is a little odd for a DC that loves to notice such things.
Meanwhile, sniffing the possibility of enhanced career aspirations amid the political winds of incapable McConnell, Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie, sees Ron DeSantis as a vector to electoral elevation. Except, there’s a funny thing.
While Erin Perrine of Team DeSantis is quick to promote the endorsement for her managed Florida governor, a review of Representative Massie’s Twitter rapid-fire messaging doesn’t show the endorsement. Thirsty DeSantis, with slipping polls, contrasts against a teeth-clenched Massie with political aspirations…. We laugh, because it’s, well, perfect!
Meanwhile, moments ago, in other contextual sunlight, Fox News human cabbage patch doll Bret Baier, leads off the GOPe/Murdoch Fox News narrative engineering with the 6:00pm promotion of Glenn Youngkin. LOLOL… These cats are just too transparently funny.
Am I being a little hard on the “conservative leader” Thomas Massie, probably. But the reason is really breaking the cycle of insufferable battered conservative abuse.
Massie was an attendee at the Four Seasons DeSantis three-day donor retreat last month in Palm Beach. [See tweet from event] Apparently the allure of the Sea Island billionaire funding mechanism can permeate fiscal senses. I digress…
Additionally, Massie likes to rail against government spending, even recently using his opposition to the 2020 Paycheck Protection Program, as an example of his conservative bona-fides.
Now, it is true the urgently rushed PPP program was abused by some 10% of the employers who used it as a tool to defraud the U.S. government amid the urgent spending during the COVID-19 lockdowns and crisis.
However, 90% of the PPP program went directly to honest and earnest small businesses who were shut down and needed a lifeline to help their employees.
When President Trump and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin realized that employees of small businesses were going to get crushed by the lockdowns, most of which were determined in scale, scope and duration by the states, they knew something rapid and urgent was needed to support those employees. Big corporations could take the hit, but small businesses were extremely exposed. The Paycheck Protection Program was the way to help ‘Main Street’.
The PPP program was targeted directly to banks, small banks, local banks and credit unions that support the small businesses. In a brilliant bit of administrative red-tape cutting, Trump and Mnuchin used the FDIC program to backstop the banks and give the banks the ability to lend to the small businesses without risk.
Small businesses were able to go to their local bank and get an immediate infusion of cash to keep their payrolls afloat, while the FDIC program was used as a mechanism to send the funds to the banks. Tens of millions of American employees of small businesses benefited from the continuation of their paychecks during the lockdowns. Without that PPP program, millions of lower to middle-income workers would have no paycheck.
Yes, there was fraud and abuse by lying, scheming and conniving business owners who took advantage of the PPP program for their own financial gains. However, that doesn’t mean the PPP program didn’t protect and support tens of millions of people.
High-horse Thomas Massie would have allowed those people who live paycheck-to-paycheck and are employed by small businesses to be crushed without income. Thankfully, Trump and Mnuchin, together with support from congress – avoided that catastrophic outcome. The quick thinking about how to cut through the bureaucracy was a net benefit.
So yeah, Massie and his principles that would have allowed people to go hungry, can go spit.
Massie is not going to inherit a kingdom, He is going to inherit an angry rebellion.
During the 2015/16 primary season, I learned that “Constitutional Conservatives” are sanctimonious wordsmiths. And that the worst among them are the “principled” ones.
Massie voted with Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff to revoke President Trump’s emergency declaration at the southern border. Perhaps his few acolytes can explain exactly what “constitutional principle” can survive in the face of an illegal invasion!
Agreed. The other “principled” conservative Junior KY Senator didn’t see anything constitutionally wrong with passing a sweeping change to immigration law via unanimous consent.
Not coincidentally SB386 was sponsored by Utah’s “principled” conservative Senior Senator.
SD wants them to spit. I want them to lose their jobs & all of their worldly possessions so that they can live out the results their votes have had… on us.
Et tu, Massie? I liked him. Just goes to show, none can be trusted, probably “compromised”, ugh. Remember when Ted Cruz said that Trump “is not in the club”?
Same here. I loved the folksy nature of who he was. But when you go to MIT and make millions and have a wife that already has millions, its hard to break bread with us common folk. Too bad. He has lost me forever.
You nearly just described Trump.
Massie’s a pretender; makes him feel good…off the grid…family pictures with guns, etc., etc.
Trump was and is with the people; real people. It’s because Trump is genuine.
Big Difference.
Fail.
He’s just one of those insufferable libertarian virtue-signalers like Rand, who won’t deal with reality.
Sometimes I hate those guys more than Dims, because they’ll choose a hill to die on ideologically, while giving a victory to leftists in reality, because they won’t vote with Republicans on certain votes.
Sigh…
I immediately let Chip Roy (my congressman) know what I felt about his endorsement of Desantis, who has not even announced a run, rather than dealing with actual issues when he did this a few weeks ago. They didn’t respond. I told Roy’s office I doubted his tweet would age well. Same here.
Suffering the same in Oklahoma where newly minted Senator Markaway Mullen gets in and goes full bore in support of the Ukraine laundering/MIC scheme.
Disappointed to say the least.
He wants to get paid like everyone else!
Weird, because the guy does not need to work another day in his life. Has a great family too. So I am perplexed as to the reason he would so openly challenge Trump and show his alliance with those that have screwed over our country like Boss Mitch, my guess would be POWER.
Blackmail pics is the usual source. Ego is a powerful weapon.
I called, too.
I luv Trump but I want to win. If Democrats go young Trump is not viable. If he is in jail he is not viable. If he is in the middle a another criminal trial he is not viable.
THINK
Ideally for US Trump runs, if indicted he sits it out. DeSantis if he separates himself for those scum Bush trash and from Romney, Murdoch, McConnell, Ryan et al would be a great candidate.
No sale.
The GOPe is banking on this type of thinking. It’s why we’re where we are.
Grubernistas all.
Take THAT insurance policy elsewhere! Spit
Pre-emptive surrender is the way of the RINOfied.
MLK should have written a “I give up letter” from the Birmingham jail.
I guess you voted for this?
You sound like a Democrat. Take your bs elsewhere.
I’ve seen more of Geico and for a while. Do you really think you should uninvite people other people invited?
Very trollish of you
I don’t care. Still with Trump. He is the best we have had.
Maybe one day Kari Lake or Don Jr.
NOPE. Not a chance.
Too late. If God forbid Trump was not in race, I would go with Vivek at this point. Or RFK Jr. I loved DeSantis and he has been a great governor, but he really disappointed me with his Bush/Ryan embrace.
Vivek is a “true splitter” emulating exactlycallnof PDJT’s policy positions, and positioning himself to “split off” some portion of PDJT’s vote.
WHY would we buy the imitation, when we can get the real thing?
In my honest opinion, Vivek is auditioning for a spot in the next Trump White House.
Trump isn’t going to jail. Get real!
Too many ifs and buts
I THINK, therefore I know
(that what you are spouting is hogwash) GEICO.
You make a # of assertions, but do not make ANY arguments in support of any of your assertions.
Take any assertion, and then make your best arguments in support of your assertion.
Explain why you think ,”if Dems go young, Trump (thats PRESIDENT Trump, the first time you refer to him, you can use “Trump” after that, according to eticate that dates back to the founding) is not viable.
Include any arguments indicating Dems WILL “go young” as part of supporting your premise.
Debate class 101, HIGH SCHOOL level, back when they taught such things.
But, you won’t because you will lose, any such a debate, on the merits.
Hence assertions without support.
If? If he separates from Bush trash? DeSkunkis is joined at the hip with the trash. If he separates from them he’d be dead on the vine. Penniless; ruined and without the ability to campaign. That is not going to happen so I guess he won’t be a great candidate.
“Loud mouth” Roy is becoming another Dan Crenshaw.
Is Chip Roy a member of the much overhyped do-nothing Freedom Caucus in the House? I swear if I hear another conservative talker slobber all over all talk, do nothing Jim Jordan I’m gonna get sick!
Chip Roy, Jim Jordan are as fake as lindsey Graham, when he gave that impassioned monologue at the end of Kavanaugh.
He railed at the Dems, and they looked chastened, and then they went behind closed doors, and toasted lindsey on the performance.
The “do nothing Freedom Caucus” are the only players on the national stage trying to implement an America First agenda.
When they exercised the leverage they had after the midterms to bring do-nothing McCarthy around and position themselves to have some scraps of power against the uniparty, it was criticized by Trump and his supporters like you.
Who are your alternatives? And what more do you expect them to do as a small minority in 1 chamber of congress?
Our small business got a PPP loan and it barely made a dent.
The perfect – enemy of the good.
As for GOPe-Ron, maybe he should should start wearing a helmet along with China Mitch, as the hits just keep on coming!
I endorse
Chef 👨🍳 BOY RD
For what he is qualified for!
Picking up 💩 in San Francisco comes to mind.
Kind of funny that he is endorsing a guy that is not even running
Massie was an up and coming America Firster for all of about 15 seconds.
I wonder who is blackmailing Massie and for what?
His hand has been forced, Fox ran an anti Desantis add about 20 minutes ago.
Ahh. The strings.
I saw this article and couldn’t believe he is one of them!!
Most of us knew Massie was one of the good ones from early on, but this was a nice reminder of a time when he stood alone against the uniparty, even when DJT was fooled.
I don’t agree with the (alleged) endorsement, but nobody is perfect… Trump himself endorsed RINOs like Mitch, Mitt, Kay Ivy, loser Dr. Oz, Lindsey Graham, etc. to the detriment of the MAGA movement.
Rather than pit these guys against each other for political theater, we should be encouraging Trump, DeSantis, Massie, the Freedom Caucus, and the red state legislatures to set aside the egos and work together to advance a shared America First agenda that would unite (and grow) the MAGA wing of the party.
As time goes on, its getting obvious that the Turtles Brain is now a meatball!
Mitch told Massie better endorse DE Dummy or you are OUT!!!
I’m sure Paul will be next.
That’s ashame, if Rand Paul follows.
Massies in the House, not the Senate. What effect would Mitch have on him?
they are both from Kentucky, now ya no!
Thomas Massie would be cool with a fleet of canoes transporting people across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati to Northern Kentucky.
Brent Spence Bridge be damned.
Or you could take the couple hundred year old Anderson Ferry ride.
I asked Mike Dewine if he’d drop the Brent Spence bridge into the Ohio if Amy Acton told him it’d stop COVID. Tony, are you near Clifton? 🙂
I was born at Good Sam.
I think Comer is prepped to replace Mitch. That’s why he was given the chairmanship of the Oversight Committee and he’s on TV all the time. We’ll find out soon.
Comer is House. Turtle is Senate. Thune is his replacement.
The topic is who is gonna replace Mitch as the Senator from Kentucky.
Massie is from KY, but so is Comer. I think Comer is the chosen one.
A different kind of replacement. Got it. 🎯
I thought the Republican Whip John Thune was already picked to replace McConnell…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/03/23/ziiggiis-point-about-senator-john-thune/
Kentucky Senator to replace Mitch.
Well Duhh. John70 stated that and my brain must’ve overruled my eyes.
Mea Culpa and thanks for corrrcting me Abigail.
Hey, no biggie; that’s what treepers are for!
Stay Frosty!
Love your comments.
Reading thecthread, it IS confusing initially, as it becomes apperent especially with abigails clarification, that some are talking about replacing mitch as head of Senate Republicans, others replacing him as Senator.
The State R party, that has kept him in the Senate where he could screw us, for so many years, isn’t goingvto replace him (as Senator for Kentucky) with a MAGA.
Its just a question of which turd they will replace him with.
What’s Kentucky law? Governor appoint but restricted to current Party? Special election after a temporary appointment? Are you guys going to make me look it up?
Oh, I’m disappointed in Massie.
From Ballotpedia:Gubernatorial appointmentIn 37 states (listed below), U.S. Senate vacancies are temporarily filled by gubernatorial appointment. The appointee serves until the next statewide general election is held; the winner in that election serves out the remainder of the term.[1][2] Kentucky in one.
Note: Following a change to state law in 2021, the governor must select an appointee who belongs to the same party as the departing senator. The governor must also select the appointee from a list of three names provided by that party’s executive committee.
😁
will he visit former hotel of PDJT.. ???? I hope soon….
Not following you…… you mean the Waldorf Astoria in DC?
I appreciate the details on how these organized-crime families work for the GOP and DNC, but DeSantis is never going to be president. Not in 2024 or ever.
As a matter of fact, his antics are really starting to piss-off many of the people in FL who voted for him only to get poked in the rump with his self promoting book tours and campaigning. The dude’s about wore-out his welcome in FL……
When was the last time we had a presidential candidate in either party lose 40 states including his home state in a general election? Jimmy Carter maybe?
Funny, I read that as ‘The dude’s about whore-out his welcome in Florida…’
Totally agree.
I do that all the time too.
Sassy with Massie? That’s a bit much. …eyebrows raised…
what kind of man would want to be known as SASSY?
A weak one!
I saw what Gus McRae did to a sassy bartender – No Thanks!
Massie is a huge disappointment to me.
My wife is a retired banker and the PPP kept a lot of small guys afloat.
I am self employed with no employees, so I didn’t even try to apply. Annual salary dumped to 15%, dug into my savings to make it thru.
Things are much better this year, will just push my retirement a few years out.
The saving grace is I love what I do…
That is a big saving grace!
I was self employed at the time and was denied.
Godspeed and good health!
I had a 45 year old fruit market as a tenant, big time mom and pop operation. Shut down put them out of business in 2021 – property set vacant for a year and I sold it for 60 cents on the dollar. Still vacant. No ppp money for my small business tenant either.
“Never Back Down”(from Big Donors demands). I wonder how a Recall Ron Petition would trend on Twitter?
I love your idea!!!!
Never looked at Massies twitter page before until today. How many of you still believe “we” took back Congress in the fraudulent 2022 election?
Massie replacing McConnell? 🤔
Seems like McConnell would sell that senate seat to the highest bidder and Massie doesn’t have that kind of money.
Didn’t someone go to jail for something like that? Later pardoned by President Trump.
Any Republican Rep or Senator that endorses DeSantis now while P Trump was just indicted is a treacherous slob. Even the sleazy Romney spoke out against the indictment. Any politician that jumps on DeSantis’s undeclared bandwagon now will likely be extremely reviled by all Trump supporters.
Uni-party member Massie is now one of the most reviled as he did not hesitate to turn his back on Trump when the Democrats are viciously attacking him with a dirty lawfare indictment. There are many reasons why the corrupt Democrats win and retain power and it is the treachery and betrayals by elected Republicans that are arguably the biggest reason. There was no urgency to abandon P Trump now. Only the worst kind of sleaze and misguided opportunist would do so.
“Trump may have just begun his battle in court, but some Republicans already think he’s losing the war.” (Despicable Massie article in Rolling Stone rubbing it in)
Well, those “republicans” are always losing so what would they know about President Trump fighting and winning during his lifetime?
Rolling Stone is not much better than Yahoo news article…if you get my drift.
Agreed Abigail! The gloating RS comment was made possible by GOP treachery was my only point.
Pompous ass.
Massie is very popular in his district, I own a house there. When Trump went after him because of Massie’s opposition to the Covid relief bill, his Trump supporting constituents stuck with him. Even though as you know it is a cult and we do whatever Trump says lol. It will be interesting to see what happens now when most of us believe it is time to circle the wagons. My guess he will be re elected in 24, but the bloom is off the rose.
F. Scott Fitzgerald said going bankrupt happens in two parts..
First slowly, then all at once.
The Republican Party was born as the glorious institution that ended slavery.
Black people voted Republican, from Lincoln to FDR.
Christians are the last voting bloc, that supports the Republicans, and the Party establishment is embarrassed by their support.
Can you say obsolete?
Greedy Old Possums.
Time to Whig it.
Whig it good!
Where’s Al Yankovic when you need him???🤣🤣🤣
“Thomas Massie, sees Ron DeSantis as a vector to electoral elevation”, not much magnitude and the wrong direction.
He probably sees dead Tis (auto correct, lol DeSantis) as possibly electable vs Trump who they will never allow back in the White House no matter how many votes he gets. That is the reality.
He sees that because he’s part of the scheme to bring it about.
BOOM! Maquis… excellent, succinct, truth!
Still waiting for Thomas Massie and the Republicans to start impeachment proceedings against Garland, Wray, Yellen, Powell, Mayorkas and Lloyd Austin. If past performance is any indication of future events I will be waiting for a very long time!
You’ll be waiting a long long time
impeachment of Biden should have been done day one.
All the roaches will low be exposed and we should take notice! It is versus the UniParty!
Reading all the pithy comments, a thought or suggestion. WE are the Government, and this is war. Political and Military warfare are twins.
While I would prefer if “45” would not always telegraph his plays, what he has suffered, was and is eventually for us, to regain the Founding Documents. Tell the wife, no kelloges, and the wack job beer, Budweiser I think. Jeepers, here in Oregon we have so many brands, so pray for the horses, and kill the beer.
Pandoras’s box is open and WE must, not try to, but must win this one. As an old military officer, I consider “45” more like a Patton, and we clearly cannot afford a Montgomery. The pressure must be kept, never let one of their crisises go to waste.
Or was Massey allowed to vote no because it was going to pass anyway. Just another political move.
Indeed, voting records are not the proof of uprightness we’ve been led to believe.
It is nice to know who the FILTHY LIBERALS are.
I’m starting an excel spreadsheet to keep track of each Depraved Traitor in the Republican Wing of the Democrat Uniparty Crime Family.
I was 505/50 on Sassy Massie (ghey name) and now he just became a red coloured square on my sheet for a FILTHY LIBERAL.
EVERY Senator is on that list, noticing the Shameless Censorship Restrict Act that Josh Hawley forwarded.
UK, Aus, Canada, USA all passing Internet Censorship Bills this year. hmmmmm
FRD.
Tom Cotton on that list??
If not add him….
YES!!!!!!!!
F FILTHY THOMass MassIE
Another turncoat to add to the list. Add THOMass COTTON as well. A couple of ASSES.
Aggiegirl’s Public Service Announcement:
Well, I don’t know but Fox just ran an anti-DeSantis add…sponsored by MAGA…about Social Security and his actions.
Maybe Ron does not know it but I think he has just declared his intention to run. Talk about drawing out your enemy!
Sorry, but the PPP basically paid people off to go along with the hoax. I worked in healthcare 45 yrs, and NEVER has infection control protocols been so completely inverted, conservative treatment measures outlawed, and people forced on threat of losing the jobs, educations, sports aspirations to become mRNA guinea pigs for a bunch of depopulation spouting oligarchs. All for a “flu” with a 99.7% survival rate. If people did not get paid, and companies paid to enforce it, this destruction would not have lasted nearly so long. Meanwhile I have yet to see a list of all the small businesses that went under. Our local paper has printed what the local gov’t spent their “Covid” money on, “badly needed new computers for blah, blah, blah”. Zero notice of the small diner where we used to breakfast, the businesses that took months to resume normal hours because no one would come to work…..or the thousands in NY, PA, and NJ killed deliberately by reversing the previous quarantine policies of nursing homes for flu outbreaks, requiring facilities to take flu positives and put very vulnerable old folks at risk. Even with quarantine policies in place, it is customary for the flu to take 10% of the old folks. Not to mention that there was no PPE in the nursing homes, we were given homemade cloth masks and told to wear the same mask all day once we got paper ones. It was horrible. The local hospital had plenty of PPE, but no flu, cancelled outpatient cancer treatments, surgeries. This was all about the mRNA genetic experiment, and sterilizing and killing off white people while enjoying liability immunity to do whatever they wanted to them. My brother STILL runs around in a mask, completely irrational as masks will not stop viruses.
I just read at ZH last night that the average life expectancy of residents is 5 months and typically a third of residents expire a year. Part of my family are still Branch Covidians.
The sunlight just keeps shining! The more they go after Trump, the more it exposes the roaches. This truly is a time to be alive. WE are watching in real time the destruction of the Uniparty and the rebuilding of this republic. Thank you Sundance for being the reflector of all this light! We couldn’t and wouldn’t know how to protect ourselves without help from people like you!
Hannity drags out the over inflated Graham once again to beg for money. War monger. I understand the Fox people must show other contenders that is fair but unfortunately they go with softball questions. Never asked what they would do other than not be “orange man bad”. Getting tired of the media telling that DNC has a plan to elevate Trump in the Primaries because he will be easily beaten. They say it on rotation.
The turtle has been out of action too long for a concussion…he probably did some major damage to his noodle.
I suspect he had a stroke.
Correct. The fall was a cover.
A stroke of luck? He is probably poolside sipping drinks with little straw hats!
Well, the majority was looming – and we know how he hates being in the majority.
We will know if he returns to duty sporting a pair of those Fresnel lens glassses a la Felonia von Pantsuit after her stroke.
This is the start of wanting to spend more time with the family story. Enough time for his replacement to settle in and his successor as minority leader to warm the seat.
Your assessment reminds me of the 2018 mid-term election. So many Republicans – Jason Chaffetz comes immediately to mind – had to pick that time to step aside from their committment to America to ‘spend more time with family’. I thought then that America was lost. I think now that I was right. Slowly at first, then all at once. We see the patterns. We know the playbook. When the time is right we will know what to do & we will do it. In the meantime, I am annoyed every time I see Chaffetz or that pos “He of the perpetual purple tie” Gowdy in my face pretending to be with us. 🤬
Really?
Now your talking. THIS is the kind of elevator message the Trump Troops need to have handy.
Thank you Sundance.
Massie never struck me as the sharpest knife in the kitchen!
I’m very confused by this.
Didn’t Massie once ask “who writes these Bills?” when criticizing a bill in Congress?
I’m sure he got read the riot act for saying it.
He’s gonna have to duke it out with Skeletor Thune
Massie isn’t vying for Senate Leader, simply to take the Senate seat that McConnell is soon to vacate.
Thune is Skeletor Prime.
. Impressed after watching this. Now, don’t know what to think.
Umm…four year old video Jimbo… lots of Mos Eisley spaceport residents have bailed within a term or two
That’s his PR move to demonstrate his bonafides. He is authentic and just like “YOU and ME”…
When I watched this; I thought…c’mon man…seriously?
Massie was wrong then and is wrong now:
—Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie says ‘Trump is at fault’ for deadly riot at Capitol
The Kentucky representative also said Trump, among others, misled his supporters.
”“People did mislead the folks that came here, and Trump was among them,” Massie said.
“He insinuated that states wanted their electors thrown out, which was not true. I kept a spreadsheet of every document every state produced, and in no case did a majority of any legislature even put their name on the letter.”“
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/01/09/live-politics-updates-donald-trump-joe-biden-inauguration-impeachment/6607919002/
Massie smiles like a cat 💩 razor blades.
These RINOS are so transparent…..
Gun rights are to the Repubes as abortion is to the Commiecrats
He thinks by posing with his gun family that is giving him street cred
I would love Glen Youngkin as a candidate but I think he needs a little more experience.
Please don’t trash these wonderful republicans in your haste to get Trump the nomination. I like Trump also. However I fear once he gets the nomination jail will be the next democrat escalation. How can he win from jail?
Carlyle = MEGA Swamp
Still No Sale.
Wonderful Republicans! 😂🤣😂
You’re fairly new at trolling, right GEICO?
and a slow learner to boot, lol
Others have before him and the “JAIL” is going to have to house, feed and take care of his Secret Service Detail, who are in charge of his well-being and protection, along with his family, until the day he dies…and they swear an oath to ‘die’ for their President.
Let that reality sink in.
This is all communist bullshit!
THANK you for properly using apropos, TWICE!
Ambition has become disgusting.
Massie is not going to inherit anything if he doesn’t support Trump. Even cocaine Mitch was losing to the nutty liberal crime dog until Trump campaigned for him. Of course being the swell guy Mitch is he sold Trump out the first chance he got. The jig is up on Mitch and any other Rino in Kentucky.
Mitch did not sell out until he collected a ton of money for the RNC with stop the steal
Sundance….If Uncle Fester was still not in the hospital…recovering from “depression” the Media would be all over McConnell like a Trump indictment…. If they go after Mitch for being really hurt…they have to point out the biggest voting scam of all time…Uncle Fester….
Uncle Fester is out…
Did you see the ABC Jane Pauley Interview?
Jane Pauley… isn’t she NBC? Isn’t she pretty well fossilized by now?
Hard to believe The Reaper is toying with Mitch and he may not be back. Amazing to watch the corrupt dinosaurs fall one by one and the younger ones jockey for corrupt greatness.
Why?
Nothing last forever.
A damn shame.
Wow, a complete and total fraud. Another facade I bought into at least at the beginning. Isn’t he supposed to be a Libertarian, small owner built home, small energy efficient car, etc. What a complete phony.
I don’t know about thinking he will replace Mitch…I guess as Senator and I guess the people of Kentucky will vote for another fraud.
Some recent DeSantis endorsements are clear indications that GOP history is repeating itself. Money is still the greatest enticement for many politicians because those that are easily bought mistakenly believe money can buy all the other enticements that make life great.
Joseph Conrad wrote: “Principles? Principles won’t do. Acquisitions, clothes, pretty rags—rags that would fly off at the first good shake. No; you want a deliberate belief.”
The DeSantis campaign has obscene amounts of money available to dole out for “early” endorsements and promises of support. For some politicians, being invited to a swanky opulent resort and listening to seductive promises of new wealth is enough for some to easily “shake off all of their principles” and beliefs and join the team.
Some will delude themselves into believing they are choosing the best candidate and the money is just an added bonus while others will be more honest to themselves. The declining condition of the USA is not important to them. They only “believe” in their own enrichment.
If P trump is re-elected, he will likely have to deal with a Paul Ryan/McConnell 2.0 opposition or worse in his own party.
I agree, you have to laugh at them. Laugh not only at Massie but all of the feathers of that same Bird. Make more memes. Throw more sand.
Why would we care about endorsements of existing congressmen?
