Thomas Massie may delay the bailout... Congress livid with him

[Matt Collins]

The vote just went down...


Thomas called for a roll call, the Speaker Pro Tem asked everyone wanting a roll call to rise. Without even looking up (reading from his script) he says there are not enough members requesting a roll call.


So Thomas demand a quorum count. Again, without even looking up, and reading from the script, the Speaker Pro Tem says there is indeed a quorum.


The bill passes on a voice vote.

After the United States has gone extinct.



My argument implies nothing of the kind. And you trying to call me a liberal is mind-bendingly ridiculous. That is a propaganda technique that was used extensively against Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012.

The fact is that there is a lot more than just pork barrel spending in this thing. There are Pelosi agenda items that will completely transform this nation towards a socialist paradigm. When VoterID is banned nationwide, same day registration is required, and ballot harvesting is permitted, we will end up with Democrat supermajorities in both chambers and as President and it will be these Republicans and fearmongers that did it.

GET THEM ON THE RECORD, and six month from now when everyone starts discovering the pure Marxist communist crap that was passed into law in this thing and start scrambling to undo it before their terms are up Massie will look like the hero he is, and some of these idiots will get fired.

This coronavirus is as virulent as the common cold and as deadly as the common flu. There is nothing about it to justify this insane response. This whole thing is the Media gone batshyt crazy and we are going to literally destroy the American republic because of a basically normal seasonal bug?

My God man, if we are supposed to be willing to turn this country into the Soviet Union because of a bad seasonal cold, is there ANYTHING we are supposed to stand for at all?

Anyone that thinks people care about voting records anymore isn't paying attention or out of touch or both.

He is getting tons of support and donations. He is top of DRUDGE: http://www.drudgereport.com/

If he was just another go along get along congressman he wouldn't get that attention.

He is taking a stand, for you & me.

He is also getting tons of hate. What concerns me is that this will likely be a net negative for him. I hope that isn't the case. I hope the people of Kentucky stand by him.

When it comes to emotiional issues like this, taking a stand can get a person killed.

So basically, you have never been involved in a political campaign in your life?

Supplies and demand and price fixing. Most medical workers are over worked and under paid. They dont get hazard pay and they are the ones the most at risk. People die every day due to the fact that we have a rationing system and the numbers are astronomical and not counted. People dying from mistakes and malpractice or given bad medicine or lack of medicine so they can prop up the systems costs by basically being legal drug dealers.

Never mind how much of this post is just silly virtue signaling. What does any of it have to do with what Gunny said, or what you said to Gunny?

If you want to change the subject, change the subject. You don't need to quote me to do it.

Guest host of the Rush Limbaugh show said that Thomas will be a guest during the next hour.

Wasn't he chair of Romney's coronation convention?

They seem to know something we don't--like how much of that bill is out and out illegal.

And you're here to say resistance in the name of the Republic is futile?

... And this thing hasn't gotten to the Senate yet.

The stimulus bill passed the Senate first. Passed the House today. POTUS should sign it soon.

Did it? Funny, I thought the Constitution demanded that appropriations originate in the House.

I guess we're beginning to see just how many laws Congress just violated.

Link?

 

[jct74]

Thomas just mentioned his primary opponent called for a miltary coup against Trump. Rush sub was very supportive throughout and said they might have Thomas back.

Who is the substitute?

Any chance there wasn't really a quorum?

Isn't it amazing that Pelosi can't even show up to act as Speaker during this time?

I'm not sure the bill called for any new taxes. Just spending...

Sure. No proof there was, though Massie gave them a chance to prove it.

I'm not sure the bill called for any new taxes. Just spending...

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

I'm sure they didn't spend six trillion without addressing how it was to be borrowed and/or printed.
