Republican rep Thomas Massie of Kentucky has been one of the very few outspoken Congressmen on either side of the aisle to blast Trump’s Iran bombing campaign, done without Congressional authorization or so much as debate or consultation.
Massie was seeking to introduce a war powers resolution in the House ahead of ‘bombs away’ on Iran. The conservative and libertarian-leading Congressman wants to legally prohibit American involvement in Iran.
“This is not our war. But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our constitution,” he stated last week. In weekend media appearances, he’s also been calling out the Trump administration for shilling for Israel and Netanyahu. For example, on ‘Face the Nation’ he strongly suggested that the White House and some in Congress are being unduly influenced by a foreign power.
Critics of Trump’s Iran policy are complaining that America fighting the Israelis’ wars for them is not at all ‘America First’ – while Trump’s team has touted this as ‘limited’ and intent on eliminating Iran’s nuclear program.
These and other criticisms have prompted a Sunday Trump response on Truth Social. He took Massie to task for his defiant stance, saying he’s “not Maga” and that “MAGA doesn’t want him”…
Social media, including X, has in the last days been taken over by MAGA infighting over the Iran issue. After all, Trump campaigned on a platform that was against starting new wars; however, he also vowed to prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon.
Critics have said that the Trump people now sound just like Bush-era NeoCons when it comes to taking ‘preemptive’ action over WMD fears in the Middle East.

Tom, you are a complete moron. Listen carefully – it’s really simple: Iran wants to make nuclear bombs (they are lying when they deny it). Iran having nuclear bombs is a VERY BAD THING – They would use them against the US, Israel and others. If that happened, Iran would cease to exist. The slightly more technical explanation: Uranium for power stations is enriched to 3-5% Uranium for bombs is 90%. Can you guess what Iran made? (60%, but the jump from 60 to 90 is technically easy) So – Trump was absolutely right to bomb Iran’s nuclear site and didn’t need anyone’s permission.
Actually RM, it is you who are the complete Moron. The Jews have stated so many times and in so many ways that all non-Jews need to be killed or enslaved. And they have nukes. Ergo, every other country should have a nuclear deterrent as well.
Zion don violated the us constitution by not referring it to congress and violated international law by targeting nuclear sites which had they not been moved, would have resulted in a nuclear fallout. Zion don is a traitor to america and a war criminal just luck his boss bibi who is the real leader of the usa from the usa’s new capitol, tel aviv. The usa is now a rogue terrorist state. Lets see all the ‘patriots’ deal with their occupied government now. The mission failed, the stuff was moved because the iranians knew in advance it was happening since it was planned during the previous administration.
I stopped reading at Zion Don. And here I thought anti-semites were vanquished in WWII … yeah, yeah … you’re just anti-Israel. Unh huh …
I love when programmed communists make these claims. The correct term is actually Shemite because they come from the lineage of Shem. I for example am descended from Japheth. None of these people are descended from Shem, they are descended from Japheth through Gomer where I come desended from Magog. Anit-semite was invented by the small hats. Jews are not the israelites, the term jew originated from Judea which is regional and not religious. These people worship satan and so do their shabos goy. They also rejected Jesus which makes them anti-christs. Israel is now spiritual since Jesus and all who follow Jesus are israel. Israel is not a country, its the church of Jesus Christ. If you are going to make a slur, make sure it is in intelligent slur that actually makes sense and btw, the anti-semite trope has lost its meaning. Your friends have also been ethnically cleansing the west bank even more now since the iran distraction as well as the Gaza strip but I would not expect you to have any empathy or feeling about that, you need to be human.

As a wise man one said, no point in arguing with an idiot, you have way more experience at it than I do.
And my advice to you? In the battle of wits, don’t come half-armed.
Massie is not even close to MAGA. I am MAGA … and he’s no MAGA. He’s a Big-L Libertarian (like Rand Paul) who wants NO GOVERNMENT at all. He’s an isolationist who wouldn’t vote to spend $$ on our military if Iran was dropping bombs on Kentucky.
Massie voted AGAINST Trump’s border wall … joining the “MAGA” Republicans Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowsky, Susan Collins … and yeah … Rand Paul in voting down funding for a border wall in 2019. Look where THAT got us after 4 years of the Biden/Obama cabal tossing open our borders!?
Massie won’t survive his next Primary election. Goodbye and good luck. OTOH … I quite like Rand Paul, despite disagreeing with him on a number of topics. Yes, he was 100% right about gain of function and Fauxci building Bioweapons out of US scrutiny in communist China. Rand is highly intelligent, and I carefully consider all of his opinions. But he and I disagree on his hardcore isolationism.
I have my ear on the ground … and not on the social media megaphones. There is NO serious fracture in the MAGA base. Anyone who doesn’t believe curtailing Iran’s worldwide terrorist network isn’t in America’s FIRST interest is just cognitively dissonant. And yes, there are plenty of anti-Zionist (call it what it is … Jew-haters) in the MAGA ranks. Like any other large group … you’re gonna have a certain percentage of fringe lunatics.
Zionists are not all jewish, biden was a zionist and he openly bragged about it too. MAGA was a psyop to brainwash individuals like you into voting for genocide and land grabs. I know what happens next and we will see will you still have the same enthusiasm for zion don in 10 years. Oh and I dont hate the jews, I pray for them to change their ways. Hate only feeds the devil, i must say you give him plenty of fodder.
