I’m not as angry at Thomas Massey as a lot of people (including Trump) are today. After his grandstanding earlier today, Trump called for Massie to be kicked out of the Republican party, and the bill passed the House on a voice vote despite Massey’s threatrics. While I’m not as angry at Massey as others are, this unfortunately wasn’t the time to be playing political games. I don’t like the $11+ billion for international affairs that have nothing to do with COVID-19 either but I wouldn’t have held up a vote.

Kennedy Center, PBS/NPR get their pork too, which really pisses me off and of course Turtle McConnell added Pelosi’s $350 million pork for illegal aliens and refugees. Adding crap like this was inexcusable, but still.
Massey is now hated on both sides of the aisle for what he pulled today, though conservatives aren’t as mad at him like me. Still, I hope it was all worth it for Massie, because come election time, they are going to destroy him with this.
The bill now goes to Trump for his signature.
