Massie votes with Republicans 91% of the time.

The Walls, Immigration, Tariffs. Kentucky needs a MAGA, not a RINO.

MAGA should mean MAGA. Not Trumps MIGA, not prop up hedge fund buddies real estate investors, not bigger government spend, not supporting Ramswamy who openly hates America, not 50 year loans debt slavery.

Trump isn’t one to complain about remarrying. Bro married someone half his age. Is that why Epstein files are hidden? Let’s not go there…

My point is Trump needs to listen to his base more, and not fight with people who want MAGA.

Nope, I'm MAGA, not MIBA (Malicious Israel Blaming Always).

No Tucker Party will ever win. MAGA gets Independents to win.

I will never vote for a SocCon version of BLM: "America Only".

Oil is a priced as an international commodity. Either we control it or somebody else will. China, probably, but it will never be neutral and open to free and fair bidding, that's Glibertarian naive nonsense on one hand, and "Multipolar" propaganda pushed by China and other rivals on the other hand.

Massie refuses to discuss disciplinary action for Plaskett (D-USVI) for colluding with a convicted sex offender, Epstein and asking questions he provided in Congress.

Alison Steinberg @alisonintheknow
of Lindell TV asked Thomas Massie if the house should vote to censure her after it was revealed by the Washington Post that Stacey Plaskett was texting with Jeffrey Epstein to influence her questions during 2019 hearings investigating Trump.

His answer was, “feels like a distraction.”

Massie just gave away the game:

This was never about the truth. This was always about finding an attack vector against Trump and Massie, as well as Marjorie Traitor Brown, either naively or intentionally went along with perpetuating this hoax that Trump is a p*do.

Primary them both.

OK, now I'm getting pissed at Massie.

"Classified" means "fuck you, peasants."

This fussing about sofa cushion change is the most annoying trait of some of the "conservatives". It's like a dad running around the house and switching off LED lights pulling whopping 10 watts each.

How did you determine that number? I suspect it cost more than that just to maintain the base housing and schools.

??? What fucked up Alternate Reality do you live on?

The total comes to approximately $1.47 trillion, with the US accounting for about two-thirds. Note that these were mid-year estimates for 2024; actual final spending for that year (now available in 2025) ended up slightly higher overall due to adjustments in some countries, but the chart faithfully reflects the data as released at the time

Estimated Total for NATO Operations in Europe

Combining the above, the direct US spending attributable to military presence and NATO-related operations in Europe is approximately $19.3 billion for FY2024 ($14.6B basing + $3.6B EDI + $1.1B common contributions). This represents about 2% of the US's total $968 billion defense spending (as per NATO estimates, which include broader categories like veterans' benefits and pensions not in the core DoD budget).Note that this is a conservative estimate focused on direct costs—additional indirect spending (e.g., global R&D, procurement of equipment deployable to Europe, or portions of the $25.7 billion in total Overseas Operations Costs that support EUCOM) could push the figure higher, potentially to $20-30 billion when accounting for shared overhead. However, the DoD does not provide a fully itemized regional total, and much of US defense spending benefits NATO globally rather than being Europe-specific.

$20-30 BILLION

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has moved to withdraw the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), introducing legislation that would formally end America’s membership in the 75-year-old alliance.

Massie argues the treaty has long outlived its purpose, drained trillions from American taxpayers, and entangled the country in conflicts far beyond its national interest.

“NATO is a Cold War relic,” Massie wrote on X.

“The United States should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our country, not socialist countries.

“Today, I introduced HR 6508 to end our NATO membership.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) quickly announced her support, reposting Massie’s statement and adding, “Co-sponsoring this.”

I like Massie. I hope we can fill Congress with people just like him. I especially like his clarity.
