Not done anything? Why do we now have much more of the Trump promised Epstein files now released?

---

Your post said Massie had accomplished where Trump failed.

Massie has not done anything but whine and moan, period.

Massie deserves a binky and a lot less media attention.

And who said he was getting more popular? Massie is a joke. Hopefully he goes the way of MTG in the near future

Massie sure catches a lot of hell for pulling against the swamp. Guess it's why more don't do it.

Thanks for stating the biggest problem with Massie. He never pulls against the swamp (liberal Democrat party). He pulls against his own party

LOL! Thanks for admitting "drain the swamp" was never about corruption, only about partisanship.

Glad you agree. After plugging the "Walking Dead GAZA Billions", I thought you were gone

This. Massie is kind of the counterpart to Lindsey Graham. Where Graham always talks up Trump but is not really true to his word, Massie pretends he is standing up for ordinary Americans but not really doing anything to help anyone.

Massie does like to claim credit for things other people get done, which is common to Swamp critters as much as anyone else.

This follows downward revisions of -818,000 in 2024 and -306,000 in 2023.

Obviously has been a problem with data collecting for years. Perhaps jobs reports need to be delayed by three months until a better methodology is found.

I agree with this. As long as time frame is consistent 3 or 6 months later is good.

He pulls against the party in power

Changing demographics are determining our political landscape.

A process that will only accelerate as our standard of living continues to decline.

RAW.

RP being useful - finally.

>>
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced legislation this week that would eliminate federal liability protections for vaccine manufacturers, which is a legal shield that has been in place for four decades.

The bill, cosponsored by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

If passed, the bill will make changes to the federal law to abolish the liability shield provided to vaccine manufacturers under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which largely protects vaccine manufacturers from product liability lawsuits and requires most injury claims to be directed to a federal compensation program.

According to Paul, the bill would make pharmaceutical companies more accountable by allowing people to sue them if they believe they have been injured by vaccines.
Vaccine safety monitoring data maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that there have been millions of adverse event reports filed.

In the past, a study done in collaboration with the US Department of Health and Human Services found that the nation's main vaccine adverse event reporting system captures fewer than 1% of adverse events.

Your tribalism clouds your brain because the world is only in 2 colors. Black abd white. Good and evil.

It is incredible that tribalism is taking over to this degree. 20 years ago most all could see that even their party had swampy politicians. Now, one side is swamp, the other completely golden.

It will only get worse. We are only one generation removed from new voters watching Mr. Rodgers, Reading Rainbow, Sesame Street. The current generation watched Nickelodeon. The new generation will have watched tiktok, doomscrolled x and facebook. Get ready.

You make a good point about tribalism, but egoism didn't go away, and from my POV that's what's wrong with Massie.

He's looking for attention, not solutions.

Yes he is far from the only one doing that, but he's a putz, not a good guy in these issues.

Sure. That's fine. Nothing to see here.

Yeah I didn't like it when the government tried to do this to people who were speaking out against Covid stuff, school boards, etc. and labeled as "spreading misinformation" and I don't like it here.
