It is a good thing to see the masks dropping amid the professionally republican class who view themselves as something more than representatives of their constituents.
In public response to the requests of the voters, Idaho’s Second Congressional District Representative Mike Simpson reminds voters that their opinion means nothing.

FYI, Steve Scalise is voting for Jim Jordan.
Who is paying for Mike Simpson? Because apparently, he doesn’t think the voters matter much.
I still find it a bit humorous to think there are those with one or two brain cells who still believe we have a ‘representative’ government.
Mike, who do you think you work for? Sounds like you don’t care about us! Time for Simpson to go!
A disgusted Idaho voter.
He gets paid no matter what he does! There are no penalties.
He gets more than paid! He gets rich off of inside deals!
Ah… and therin lies the majority of the Nation’s problems. It has ALWAYS been “follow the money”.
There is a penalty, we just have been brainwashed by these evil thugs that we’re to nice and Christian to actually punish them as REQUIRED by the US Constitution.
Shame, because we spared the rod and these “children” are now spoiled psychopathic democidal maniacs, which is a definite danger for the populace they fiercely fleece.
Lisa Murkowski came right out snd said” I can’t remain a Republican if I have to represent my constituents bedt interest5″ which Thune Romney and others agreed. Article on conservative treehouse
Has she actually been voting in her constituents best interests? I don’t think so!
Ditto! (Except I’m in district 1.)
(Shouldn’t expect anything different here.)
Show the proof and not the word from some swamp staffer please.
I wonder if he has a Reagan 2024 sticker on his car.
“Intimidation and threatening tactics do not – and will not – work.”….. because my ears only hear the sound of money.
The reality that these Reps are, responding with EXACTLY the same phraseology, in UNISON is a stark contradiction to their message.
It actually confirms they ARE being intimidated, in a “methinks tho protesteth a little TOO much” kind of way.
I see they are being filleted and roasted on Social media, FOR this blustering, empty responce.
Assuming JJ IS the next SOTH, lets see how he fairs, after say 2 months in his new position.
Will the same constituency “melt HIS phone wires” if he fails to live up to the expectations of WE the MAGA Movement?
Will he release the tapes?
Will he establish “regular order” for budget bills?
Will he defund FBI/DOJ?
Well,…WILL HE?
As usual… Thanks, Dutchman.
The Democrats seem to hate and fear him. That is a good endorsement.
Of the Idaho Congress critters I used to think that Russ Fulcher was the only good one but he has turned to being pro Ukraine war. He was on a local radio show a few weeks ago and said something along the lines of “I spoke to people in the Baltic countries and they are concerned that Putin will invade them next.”
The other three are all owned by the Cabal and warmongers all. Simpson is the worst of the lot.
Disappointing
Why in the WORLD would Putin have any interest in “invading” Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia, aka the “Baltics”?
All respect, but those countries have no strategic or economic benefit for RUSSIA, and their main significance is that they successfully, peacefully ejected the Soviets after 50+ years of occupation, so just the WRONG move for Putin to make.
Guys an idiot,…
who actually believes Putin would purposefully generate a NATO response?
The many years of “Russia is the bad Guy” spouted from the msm AND the U.S. gov’t. agencies has taken root in the heads/brains? of those who have discarded Critical Thinking. Not much of a surprise.
People in glass houses…
It was obvious that Putin has no intention of threatening Europe. He didn’t want the war in Ukraine. The truth is if he would have allowed the Ukrainians to continue shelling the people in the Donbass with no response his administration would have been in big trouble.
Like Ukraine two years ago? Or was that a right move for Putin?
I live about 3 miles from Fulcher’s house, before he cheated on his wife with a staffer, and she divorced him. I have been to his house for campaign events when he was running for gov of ID. He has gotten to be a big disappointment. Do not even get me started on Simpson, he was on Viewpoint on Chan 7 going on about the poor boarder jumpers and how they need protection in the unsafe jobs they do, what a puke.
Yes Dan. It is sad state of affairs when a conservative state like ours has all it’s Senators and Reps all members of the Cabal.
Lots of folks support an invaded country fighting to remain free. Might want to reconsider your criteria.
Well the problem there is WE started the war. Not Russia. If you recall we overthrew the elected Ukraine government and installed one hostile to Russia. Then Ukraine stated attacking the Donbass.
The U.S. intention was to establish NATO in Ukraine. The U.S. knew that would be a red line.
Ask yourself what would the U.S. reaction be if Russia had overthrown the Canadian Government, installed one hostile to the U.S. and then started killing U.S. Citizens in Canada.
Almost forgot. Ukraine is NOT free. They have not been free since at least 2014 after the Maidan Coup rendered them a vassal state of the U.S./NATO.
So who is the K Street candidate here? Sorry if I’m being slow.
I contacted Victoria Spartz from Ukraine, but somehow representing my district in Indiana (how are all of these foreigners getting into our government?) because she voted for Massey in the first round of votes. I explained to her that it was clear that she was sending some sort of coded message to someone (s) by voting for someone who wasn’t even in the running. I suggested that maybe it was because she didn’t like Jim Jordan because he voted against sending money to her country, Ukraine. I reminded her that she was not in Ukraine any longer and that she represents her constituents and that we are all tired of sending our money to Ukraine. I told her that she had better vote for Jim Jordan for speaker or she would not serve another term. Then I told her that I had heard rumors that she wasn’t going to run again and I suggested that it was probably because she had been promised a lucrative job for doing the bidding of the powers that be.
I noticed her name dropped off of the naughty list yesterday. Not that I had any influence individually, but assuming lots of Hoosiers made there to thoughts known.
Foreigners in government. Exactly.
Excellent contact items Whoseyore 💯
👉Brief but accurate. A template for future political contacts with elected officials 👈
His constituents expressing to him how they wish he would vote on an issue is an intimidation tactic or a threat? He and many others don’t view themselves as public servants or as representatives. They see themselves as the elite, the ruling class and as better than the lowly peasants they supposedly serve.
his constituents expressing their opinion to him is a threat?
Yes, this truly is how they THINK, and because its how they think, they can’t help periodically exposing that it IS how they think.
Recall what Gaetz said about the J6 defendants, it was also a slip where his true thinking came out.
Resist the human nature temptation for melodrama (White hats vs Black hats) and “tribalism” i.e. “Our team vs the other” as there is simply NO WAY that Jordan is going to make any substantive changes at ALL.
NOTHING in his ACTIONS, while in CONgress, supports the idea that he will, and everything he has DONE, supports him being same old whine in a brand new bottle kind of SOTH.
We send them to be our heroes and they become our villains. At least now you know what color his hat is.
Just another vote from the REP RINOS that ignore their REP base.
I was looking up Simpson’s record. It wasn’t too bad until he joined with Texas to file suit to overturn the 2020 election results. Pelosi called his actions treasonous.
But since then, we’ll, see for yourself:
On May 19, 2021, Simpson was one of 35 Republicans to join all Democrats in voting to approve legislation to establish the January 6 commission meant to investigate the attack of the U.S. Capitol.[50]
Immigration
Edit
In 2021, Simpson voted for the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021, which passes work visas for undocumented farm workers.[51]
Simpson voted for the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020, which authorized DHS to nearly double the available H-2B visas for the remainder of FY 2020.[52][53]
Simpson voted for the Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 1158),[54] which effectively prohibits Immigration and Customs Enforcement from cooperating with the Department of Health and Human Services to detain or remove illegal alien sponsors of Unaccompanied Alien Children.[citation needed]
Simpson supports Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).[55]
LGBT rights
Edit
In 2021, Simpson was among the House Republicans to sponsor the Fairness for All Act, the Republican alternative to the Equality Act.[56] The bill would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity, and protect the free exercise of religion.
In 2021, Simpson was one of 29 Republicans to vote to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.[57] This bill expanded legal protections for transgender people and contained provisions allowing transgender women to use women’s shelters and serve time in prisons matching their gender identity.[58]
In 2022, Simpson was one of 47 House Republicans to vote with the Democratic Party to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act, and replace it with the Respect for Marriage Act.[59] He later voted for the final form of the bill as passed in the Senate in December.[60]

Just another name on that Epstein plane list?
So if he is on the ballot, don’t vote for this nut. Don’t threaten. Just do it.
By the way, my post today asks “Why do liberals cling to their delusions?”
The second half of the post points out how a minority of liberal Republicans are insisting that the majority “play by the rules” (whatever those are). This post also lists the 22 Republicans refusing to vote for Jordan.
They do NOT play by the rules, because the rules is the USA Constitution.
In Ohio, we got rid of AJ Gonzalez for turning into a leftist like Simpson. I hope Idaho voters see this and mobilize to get rid of him. I tried calling his number and got the “this mailbox” is full garbage. He is a dirtbag who needs to go.
Past time to fire all of Congress and startvall over!!
WOW! Guess he does not want to serve…just DICTATE! REMOVE THIS MORON from office.
HEY !!! IDAHO !!!
Your PUBLIC SERVANT Mike Simpson despises you – his public !!!
RECALL OR DEFEAT HIM !!!
The RNC and Big Money do not want Jordan, ergo, they have enuf reps on the payroll ( not using all that they have available to hide the influence corruption levels you know ). But it again places them out for public inspection.
Perhaps being primaried will peak his interests.
Well, Jordan just caved and will back the Bow tie as interim speaker until January, so . . . .
Screwed again.
In some ways, this should give us joy. It is painfully obvious that this world wants no part of US. This world wants our complete subjugation or our death for body parts. Jesus told us this would happen. “Know the world hated Me, before it hated you.” We are in good company.
All we can do is prepare to ride out whatever is coming, take care of each other and pray.
If he is all in on Scalise, why doesn’t he follow Scalise’s lead and vote for Jordan? These games will be their downfall. Stauber from MN even voted for someone not even running, claiming he wants someone that will unite the party. Nonsense!
Mean tweet. X
Here are the numbers I came up with, courtesy of Liberty Standard, over- a 6-year period.
1. 46 members of the Freedom Caucus have conservative records 85-100% They make up 21%.
2. 93 members have 60-84% -42%
3. 82 members have less than 60%-37%
My conclusion: 21% Patriots-42% Republicans-37% Democrats. Somone please prove me wrong. My speculation: 37% of Democrats are communists. I may be low.
Thank you for running the numbers. The breakdown is appalling but no longer shocking, given how they’ve been legislating.
I wish there was a feasible way for us to all stop paying taxes. No taxation without representation comes to mind.
The stat provided earlier that reps average about 20% from voters shows exactly how we’ve gotten to this point.
It’s a stark reminder that the path we’re on is not destined to end well.
He is admitting he doesn’t want to hear from his constituents or care what they think? Great
VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE!
Steve Scalise and 13 RINO Holdouts Derailing Jim Jordan Are Connected to FTX and Voter Mule Donations
https://joehoft.com/breaking-exclusive-steve-scalise-and-13-rino-holdouts-derailing-jim-jordan-are-connected-to-ftx-and-voter-mule-donations/
Awesome scoop by TGP!
Wow. So now that this compromising information is public, why did Jordan step aside? Unless there is even worse out there. Strange timing.
I stand corrected. Jordan says he is still running. Someone is playing hardball. But who?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/developing-jordan-expects-another-speaker-vote-today-seeks/
This kinda reminds me of when Larry Craig (Idaho) went against TPTB on … think it was an amnesty type vote… he was shortly thereafter outed for playing footsie in the airport bathrooms.
This puts Simpson’s saying that he would not be threatened in a whole new light!
The fact that Jordan only lasted 2 rounds show us he is compromised. McCarthy fought through 15 rounds. THE DEEP STATE NEVER GIVES UP.
New we will have MCHENRY signing on to every spending bill and pushing all the UNIPARTY goals.
I guess these RINOS “felt threatened” when constituents warned them that they WOULD be facing a MAGA primary challenger!
Oh really! “How dare you little people who put him where he is tell him you are expecting something from him that he is not delivering! HOW DARE YOU!” If the people in this worm’s district return him to Washington DC, then they are idiots.
You can also include Don Bacon of Nebraska
What cheek! Who does he think he is, a king?
He’s a Mormon, like Mittens and Egg McMuffin.
Matt Gaetz handed the republicans a tremendous opportunity but these dogs simply won’t hunt.
Idahoan here, Mikey is buried deep in the pockets of Big Ag and he is a Mormon. So he is getting paid to keep those borders wide open by 2 sources. Big AG for the cheap labor and the Mormon charity organizations that are being paid nicely with our tax money to relocate and house these “immigrants.”
Waaaaa, they’re picking on me. I want my momma.
Grow a pair and do what you’re constituents want, not what your masters demand.
Here’s a tissue, cry baby.
Maybe he needs to get the same brand of “exercise equipment” that Harry Reid had. After using it, he was never the same! Me thinks it made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
it5 up to the voters now, what will they do? Will he be primaried or is the RNC is going to protect this RINO incumbent.
RINO Mike Simpson can’t be intimidated by his constituents, hell, he was bought and paid for a long time ago.
They are all using the same cut and paste tweets- word for word. It is comically ham-handed.
So I guess now threatening some with not voting for them is threatening and intimidation tactics. He has no chance of reelection. He should simply retire. He’s just another Liz Cheney. Willy
Beware of RINO “consensus” candidate for Speaker Patrick McHenry. His conservative voting record is worse than Scalise and tied with McCarthy. His Liberty Score is 54% or an “F” rating. He would be Paul Ryan on steroids!
Is there case law against dereliction of duty? Because waiting 2 years is too long. It’s as if the job description was given on paper, interview process went ahead, the person was hired and as soon as they onboard, they decide to do what they want instead of the job they got hired to do. And then, when enough people go complaining, they have the galls to claim victim. I’m sick to my stomach from these people. Just plain sick. I can’t bare them.
Frankly, I’m thrilled that, for the very(!) first(!!) time(!!!) in American history, the House *FIRED* its Speaker. I’m eagerly awaiting the day when the Senate also “grows a pair” and does the same.
I don’t want “Who will be Speaker?” to be a foregone conclusion. (Anymore.)
And, I don’t want the person who gets the post to presume that (s)he can keep it!
The business of Legislature has been described as “a civilized fist-fight.” And that’s what I want to see. If those people are agreeable and chummy with one another, they’re not representing real people: they’re working for themselves.
Now, I’m not in favor of them attacking each other with heavy metal-tipped walking sticks. (Which actually happened once!) But anything short of that is fine with me.
what is demographic breakdwon for Downton Abbey viewers and enthusiasts between R and D
Mike, Mike, Mike … When will you learn?
Since I am not in your district or even your state, my opinion matters little. But, you can still learn from this situation.
The vast majority believe that Rep Steve Scalise has been “bought and paid for”, or is at the very least a “true believer” of the Rove and Ryan aligned UniParty. These are the folks who have brought us every war and global conflict in the last 20+ years. You can choose to believe this or not, but if you don’t please do some actual research instead of just ingesting bad advice.
In the mean time, please think about the meaning of your title: Representative.
You were not elected to tell us what you want or believe.
*** Go Maga, or go home ***
Scalise was a “carbon copy” of the last Speaker and for this reason alone I’m sure he assumed that he was a shoe-in. I don’t want to see that anymore.
Hey Mike, Here’s a little research to start your education:
CONGRESSMAN STEVE SCALISE (R-LA), WHO IS UNDERMINING JIM JORDAN FOR HOUSE SPEAKER, TOOK MONEY FROM SAM BANKMAN-FRIED’S ILLEGAL FTX CAMPAIGN FINANCE OPERATION, AS DID 13 OF THE 22 RINO HOLDOUTS. … The Former co-CEO of FTX, Ryan Salame, pled guilty early last month to “Conspiracy to Make Unlawful Political Contributions and Defraud the Federal Election Commission and Conspiracy to Operate an Unlicensed Money Transmitting Business.” Salame admitted that his job at FTX was to illegally funnel money to Republican politicians and political causes, while his co-conspirator, Sam Bankman-Fried, funneled money to Democrats. … Another initiative of Bankman-Fried was Steve Scalise, the man currently preventing Jim Jordan from becoming speaker. Bankman-Fried’s straw donor and co-CEO, Salame, donated $2,900 to Scalise a month before the 2022 Midterms ($2,900 is the maximum donation allowed by an individual): … The RINOs who accepted these funds include Kay Granger (TX-12th), Mike Simpson (ID-2nd), Carols Gimenez (FL-28th), Jen Higgins (VA-2nd) , Marinette Miller-Meeks (IA-2nd), Mike Lawler (NY-17th), Steve Womack (AR-3rd), Mike Kelly (PA-16th), Mike Simpson (ID-2nd), Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-26th), Linda Chavez-Deremer (OR-5th), Andrew Garbarino (NY 2nd), Tony Gonzales (TX-23rd), and John Rutherford (FL-5th). – The Gateway Pundit.
I’m just amazed Mike! You were one of those who accepted the FTX money. Do you pledge to return it?
*** Go MAGA or go home ***
I’ve always liked Congressman Russ Fulcher. Whenever there is a high interest topic, his office sends out a quick survey that constituents can vote on. It takes a few seconds to record your opinion and his office takes note.
I’m in ID-1, only 3-1/2 miles west of the border with ID-2, so I can’t vote against him. From what I’ve learned about the Republican Party here in ID, it’s infested with RINOs, from the governor on down, who are pretty well entrenched and comfortable wielding political power. As long as they support 2A and are more or less pro-life, they’ll keep getting re-elected, no matter how corrupt and/or uniparty they are.
Simpson: “Being elected to Congress would be so nice if it weren’t for those pesky and annoying voters.”
Who owns Mike Simpson?
Agribusiness (JR Simplot-The Potato Lobby) and Big Hops(ranked #2 nationwide), as well as the Medium and large farmers (Wheat, Green Peas, Lentils, feed grain) etc…. As long as they get their special deals, he can do whatever he wants…
And these multinationals don’t want the threat of Tariffs…
Scalise and 13 others took illegal FTX/donor mule “donations”.
