Thomas Massie (R-KY) EXPOSED the Omnibus Debt Spending Bill that Thune and Johnson are trying to pass WITHOUT The SAVE Act attached:

- $3.8 BILLION to Israel
- $1.5 BILLION to Egypt
- $2.1 BILLION to Jordan
- $5 BILLION for refugee cash/healthcare/daycare
- $700 MILLION foreign HIV/AIDS
- $315 MILLION CIA propaganda arm

GOP leadership BLOCKED amendments:

- No car 'kill switch'
- No FISA warrantless spying fix
- No CBDC ban
- No SAVE Act to stop illegals voting

As long as ICE is funded, I'm good. Deport, Deport, Deport. Also the SAVE act is an entire separate bill.

Massie wants to take out a little grease for Dems/RINOs and add things that will kill the bill, in order to keep the Borders Open by torpedoing the Omnibus. Libertarians are Open Borders Nuts.

Trump’s Attacks Never Appear to Hurt Massie
The president has repeatedly attacked the libertarian Republican, but none of his blows seem to land.

He did release names, read on congressional floor. Media isn’t covering it. But it’s on X.

"I never said 20 names"




Yes. you did.


And it was 20, then it was one, now it's six?

One for @Ceffer

Anti Tariff Turd Massie tries to take away the beneficial, restorative, roborative, deficit lowering, revenue increasing, with no signs of contributing to inflation, All-American, Originally Constitutional, Founding Father beloved Tariff. Instead depending on the productivity tax, the tax on an even exchange of labor and skill and irreplaceable lifespan time for money, the income tax, whose brackets are grossly out of line with the massive inflation and anemic growth in median wages caused by the horrific free trade era.

Massie the only Republican to vote against the SAVE act to impose minimal, rational checks on voting.



But wait, good old Massie tried to add SAVE as an amendment to another bill ... because he wanted to Torpedo it.

Mr. Single Bill Massie lies as usual... we have the SAVE Act as a seperate bill - then voted against it because in Massie's LOLbertartian mind, allowing states like Washington to have no ID, honor system elections with illegals is "State's Rights".

As usual, Massie's "Principled" objections are actually underhanded ways of keeping the status quo.

Why do I give a particularly flaming shit about Massie? Trump is handling him pretty well, and he'll probably be dropped at the curb soon enough in the election cycle.

Yes, that's strange soup. I suppose I'm a victim of my own perfidous tastes. My own fraternity was Masonic, secret handshake and all, but I was too dufus and poor at the time to register what it was about. I guess I didn't make the cut, but the rich kids probably did. It had a skull and bones logo, too, but without the 322. Like I said, one of my pledge group wound up in the Epstein files with one of the most disturbing citations, and no, I won't say who it was because I don't want to draw fire.

My fraternity was very good to me, though, and at the time it was a family away from family for me.

TheAntiPanicanLearingCenter says

Grok says no:

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has not voted against the standalone Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 8281 in the 118th Congress or H.R. 22 in the 119th). In fact, he supported and voted for the bill when it passed the House in July 2024 on a 221-198 vote, with Massie joining nearly all Republicans in favor.

He has publicly advocated for the SAVE Act's provisions, which require proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections, and has criticized Democrats and the Senate for blocking it.However, Massie did vote against multiple government funding bills (continuing resolutions or CRs) that included or referenced the SAVE Act as an attachment.

In this case, his opposition wasn't to the SAVE Act's goals (which he supports) but to using it as leverage in bloated funding bills he views as ineffective and wasteful.

I don’t support Save Act either.

SAVE Act is probably a soft shoe and attempt to get States also to abide by election disciplines, but ultimately, when foreign interference comes to the fore, Trump will EO mandate the election fraud overhaul for the Federal elections at least. The voter rolls (impossibly tangled and compromised by report from Tulsi) need their Gordian Knot cut by telling Fed voters that they have to re-register with proof of citizenship for paper ballot only elections. There will be separate Federal voting sites from State.

Removing election fraud will be a Dem catastrophe, and they know it, if the party even survives. They are treasonous criminals and it will remove their base from power.

This is what I call a "Pro-Massie Community Note", a technical nitpick like "Calendar Days". The main thrust is that Massie voted against moving the bill forward.

Massie DID vote to ADD the SAVE Act amendments to help get Dems to vote against, but then voted against the Bill it was attached to as "Muh Principuhls".

Demanding perfect bills is part of the underhanded attempt to keep open borders and status quo. He votes for the amendments, in order to claim they're now "sullied" and he can't vote for them.

Also, if one had a chance in hell of getting single subject spending bills passed, repealing the House Rules to help them advance would be key.

Massie projects a perfect world as a predicate for his vote, knowing it will never happen.

@FortWayneHatesRealtors

Why not?

"But Salazar!"

The difference between Salazar and Massie is that she has no credible primary opponent and is in a swing district that used to be represented by Donna Shalala (ugh). Where it's a matter of getting a weaksauce Republican versus a strong Democrat.

Massie's Kentucky district is deep dark red, there's no reason to hand it to a LOLbert.

FortWayneHatesRealtors says

FortWayneHatesRealtors

Why not?

Because I think it's a "cope" and not good for us all long term. What I mean is that right now Republicans, who hire illegals everywhere, have an incentive to deport. People they bring here, hate them, and vote against them. If this bill passes, then they think it'll let them bring them here, hire them, and not worry about them changing the vote. I've read before that our elites like the middle eastern model and trying to build it here, where foreigners can't become legal and just get brought in as cheap labor. Countries that do that are about 20% native, 80% foreign labor, and there are no rights because that many foreigners require police state. Basically they are bringing back slavery. This was made illegal originally, because black slaves couldn't vote, and former slave owners feared their vote.

And I don't want a cope, I want a solution, which is deport, and stop hiring them. I suspect Trump isn't serious about deporting, because he put on a show, but deported only about 70,000. Brags about self deported millions (a lie, there are no actual stats, number is made up).

Votes against bringing the Save America Act to the House floor.

Votes to raise the debt ceiling under Biden.

Votes against a law to take down revenge porn.

Votes against border security funding.

Votes against ICE funding.

Votes to protect Adam Schiff from real consequences for lying.

Votes against censuring Ilhan Omar.

Votes with Democrats to try to eliminate Trump’s tariffs.

Votes against making Trump tax cuts permanent, no tax on tips, and no tax on overtime.

Opposes taking out drug cartel boats.

Co-sponsors legislation with the Squad.

Demanded an apology for the Obamas over a Lion King meme.

So weak that he blocks everyone who brings any of this up from his official government X account.

@FortWayneHatesRealtors

I think that election fraud and illegals are two distinct problems, even if they are related.

I'm pretty sure that Democrats are committing election fraud even aside from illegals voting, and the SAVE Act would help with that fraud by eliminating mass mail-in ballots.

But I'm for deporting every illegal alien too.

We can have it all!

I wouldn't mind to see a full deport on every illegal that has come here since 2016. It was at that point, every illegal that came here came with a political intent to effect our political system. Willingly on their own or through NGO collaborative effort. They were paid, and had their transport provided. Had special provisions every step of the way, from Mexico to our boarder where they were fast tracked, and processed by NGO's shipped in our communities to displace the American citizens there. They were given Trucks, Tools, down payments on houses, and given Monopoly on all building work in those communities. They entitled when you ran into their disrespect they would jeer and insult you if not down right inflict violence on you. There was nothing humble immigrant looking for a better life about them. They were here to replace our lives, all of us, and they knew it. These are not immigrants, that came to America for a better life. They were brought for a mission.

As for those here before 2016, there wouldn't be a deportation order on them, unless they committed a crime. Otherwise they should be cited and informed that in a later date, they could be deported if they don't assimilate, find work with other Americans, not be on any government assistance local to Federal.
And for those that can prove they are not on government assistance, and NOT working in all "immigrant" environment. if they can prove they are established and don't have any criminal records. Then they should be given a chance to be vetted and apply for a green card, through a one time emergency effort.

More immigrants came under Biden that we had here from the start. But Obama did import a shit load as well, he focused on African and Indians to change Midwest demographics. Biden put them everywhere.

Before Biden any given year, while we would have had 2 million or so come in. At least 800,000 were deported or left.
Biden imported 20 years worth of immigrants in just 4 short years. And they must go, that is the special emergency that we need to reconcile the rest that are here. Either give them papers, very difficult to get for an oye that still can't speak a lick of English after 20-30 years, and has lived on Government assistance either directly or through the birth right multigenerational homes all on government assistance. Those that never bothered to learn English and works with all illegal alien kitchen, garden, or construction crew. Those guys are not only taking our jobs, but whole industries and trades. They should get right or get out as well. But at least given a chance to do so, they shouldn't be deported upon sight from ICE. Unlike those here since 2016 should.

Massie didn't vote for the SAVE Act in 2024, he was "NV" - Not Voting.

If he votes Republican "90%" of the time, pretty much every bill has pork in it to grease the passage.

So how many "non-perfect" Bills with pork DID Massie vote for?

Why is he so Halal Kosher when it comes to Open Border and Tariff and Tip/Overtime Bills?

Grok:

His reason: He opposed the rule because it included provisions that suspended normal House rules (e.g., allowing spending bills to come to the floor with less than 24 hours' notice, bypassing transparency requirements). Massie has repeatedly stated that such "rules" enable rushed, non-transparent legislation and that attaching policy bills like SAVE to must-pass funding or procedural packages is "political theater" that won't become law (due to Senate opposition or veto threats).

Massie has publicly clarified multiple times (e.g., on X/Twitter) that he supports the SAVE Act's substance (requiring proof of citizenship for federal voter registration) and would vote yes on the bill itself when it reaches a clean floor vote.

FortWayneHatesRealtors says

If this bill passes, then they think it'll let them bring them here, hire them, and not worry about them changing the vote

If it passes, then the Dems will have no reason for massive illegal immigration and may even get back to the Ceaser Chavez idea that illegals hurt workers. Maybe even to the point of fining/prosecuting those who hire illegals.

He's always got a reason to get all Princuhpuled when an Open Borders related bill comes up.

Even though if he wants "Separate Spending Bills", the only way they'd even have a hoot in hell of passing is with the easiest path through Congress.

Then the pushback happened, even from his own fanatics.

Massie and 5 other LOLberts and RINOs pass a bill with Democrats to eliminate tariffs on Canada; Trump expected to veto.

Looks like Massie went along and voted for the SAVE Act that passed the House with 100% of Republicans voting for it along with one stray Democrat.

LOL! Massie; "Look at me. I have the blackmail now". A good starter pac for monetizing the re-election campaigns.

Are they handing out the blackmail powers to any Congress critter who wants to view the unredacted files? LOL! Blackmail for all. Come and get it while the getting is hot!

No, they’ll just fight harder for amnesty. And probably won’t follow save act, which is NOT enforceable.
