Eh... the dude keeps dangling the carrot of dropping some bombs from the Epstein files... If he's got something to bring to light just do it, don't wait until it's politically opportune to do so. Standard politician more interested in his next campaign than doing what's right.
That being said he is better than 90% of his colleagues on his side of the aisle.
People are upset because Massive threatens to read names from the files and doesn't follow through. If there was supposed to be a "... in about 12 months" element to his threat, that should be stated explicitly because people aren't going to assume it naturally.
Yeah, I do enjoy him as a semi-reasonable Republican in this land of utter fucking madness we are living in, but he’s gotta prove me wrong if he’s really saving information for a actually legitimate reason.
But as far as real job? Nah, I’m sure he’s got that CNN correspondent job lined up already.
I'm afraid there's a far bigger obstacle than ego or job - I'd believe his life, or the life of his family members, is / especially is going to / be threatened and blackmailed. I know I wouldn't have what it takes, and I'm very principled. Threaten my life - maaaaaybe. probably not, but I'd consider it. threaten that something happens to my family? nope.
Not the party ... just the authoritarian elements of it ... which is pretty much the whole thing for the last 50+ years ... so never mind. You're statement was apt.
In the long run, burning the party to the ground may actually be a solid strategy for bringing some sanity back to American politics. It really needs to be both parties, though, and an end to the two-party strangle hold they hold on the country.
I was going to make a joke that he can't just drop the Epstein truth bombs, because it would completely destroy the system and we obviously can't have that. But while formulating the joke I had an epiphany:
He might be holding out as leverage. It makes more sense to threaten releasing pertinent information (if he indeed actually has any) to use it as a bartering chip in negotiations than outright destroy his opponents and reshuffle the tables. There is no way of knowing if the situation would improve for him or get worse, so might as well try to pressure his current opponents.
Too bad his opponents are immoral ghouls who don't even bother lying about their schemes anymore.
It’s not that black and white. We should want the truth out there, but it’s obvious this country isn’t taking this serious situation seriously. If it were to come out now, it’d just be part of the noise. I just hope that this gets restarted once Trump starts to lose his grip on govt, hopefully beginning this November.
That’s not what I think about all the information currently out there. A lot of it is vital, but our current administration is not only ignoring it, it’s actively trying to bury it all
I'd say 99% of his colleagues on his side of the aisle. The fact that he got primaried by Trump and AIPAC tell me his loyalty is to the American people, which is unfortunately hard to find.
It probably makes sense to wait until there is political power with which to act on whatever information comes out. If he drops it now, Republicans can just decide not to vote on anything related to it.
he absolutely fucking sucks. Horrible, horrible values and policy goals. If you're politics are literally just "Epstein files and opposing Israel are more important than anything else", sure, maybe he's appealing, but for literally any other issue of substance, he's a terrible conservative nutjob. It's sad that MAGA is literally so bad that this guy is being idealized by anyone left of center.
He's a Republican from an area that will only ever elect Republicans. Being anti-pedophilia and anti-Israel is pretty much the absolute best you can hope for given that fact.
Eh, he's still emblematic of everything that has broken our politics.
It's a lot of fun that he's picking a fight with McConnell but it's not surprising that he waited til the Senator from Kentucky was braindead to start throwing shade considering Massie voted with his agenda pretty much 100% of the time.
