One benefit of being in the minority: Republicans will go back to voting like conservatives.

@RepThomasMassie Are there any real Republicans left, though?

maga is a cancer that runs on fear and disinformation.

@GerryInColorado @RepThomasMassie Are you that shallow to not see that's how all parties operate? They talk fear mongering to rile you up to vote for them. BOTH SIDES.

@scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Sure, both sides but there's never been a more dishonest president than this one.

A Manhattan con man through and through

@GerryInColorado @RepThomasMassie You only work with words, because you are not able to see actions. Yes, you found a meme that only brings up one lie each president has said. You think that was the only lie? I swear the western world is full of 'adult' children...

@scotteeze @RepThomasMassie What are these actions? I see results, and for the most part, they are not good.

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie What you posted is what any Dem would post! We see you Gerry! You lying sack of 💩

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie I'd love to be critical of Democrats again.

As long as the gop is led by the emotionally immature, wildly dishonest, self-dealing, and dumb as a chicken Manhattan con man - now is not that time.

Have a great day 😀

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie I’m trying to tell you none of that will change. Stop being stupid and start being strategic! Politics has never been all or nothing!

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Agree. In this particular case, the lessor of two evils has never been more clear 🤷‍♂️

@GerryInColorado @sawmillWill @RepThomasMassie Guessing you’re nearsighted.

@scotteeze @sawmillWill @RepThomasMassie Tell me how I'm wrong?

@GerryInColorado @sawmillWill @RepThomasMassie Grown man using emojis

@scotteeze @sawmillWill @RepThomasMassie Tell me how Im wrong

@GerryInColorado @sawmillWill @RepThomasMassie That you think the lesser of two evils is just a whim from one party to the next. Because you don’t get everything you want. Like a child throwing a tantrum in the candy by the registers.

@scotteeze @sawmillWill @RepThomasMassie Loyal to your party no matter what, right?

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie More against the other party

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie The nice thing about voting party line is that it requires no thinking ...

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie There’s literally nothing the Dems could do for me. Even a liberal republican does more for me than a Dem. It really is an easy choice for me. I’m in my 50s and never missed a primary or general election since my first when I was 18. I’ve never voted for a Democrat for any office

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie No matter how dishonest, self-dealing, or dumb the leader of the Republican party is?

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie What is the self dealing and dishonesty you think Trump has?

@sawmillWills@scotteezeg@RepThomasMassief interest specifically documented during Donald Trump's second presidential administration:
1. Cryptocurrency Ventures & Regulatory Actions
* World Liberty Financial and UAE Investments: Trump and his family launched World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency business, while in office. Ethics watchdogs raised concerns after state-backed entities—including an investment firm in the United Arab Emirates—acquired major stakes or financial interests in the family's crypto venture shortly before receiving favorable policy outcomes, such as approval for advanced chip technology sales.
* Promoting Private Crypto Products: The Trump administration established a national Digital Asset Stockpile while the president simultaneously promoted private crypto meme coins and NFT collections, with transactions directly benefiting family-linked digital wallets.
2. White House Ballroom Construction Contracts
* No-Bid Contracts to Allies: After announcing plans to build a new White House ballroom, the administration was scrutinized for awarding non-competitive, no-bid contracts to construction firms and companies connected to political allies and Trump donors.
* Taxpayer Funding Shifts: While initial statements indicated the project would be entirely privately funded, government records revealed that taxpayer dollars were channeled into related infrastructure and site preparations alongside donor contributions.
3. Federal Spending at Trump Properties
* Routine Taxpayer Billing: As in his first term, Trump declined to place his holdings in a blind trust and frequently traveled to his private resorts, including Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster. Federal agencies, including the Secret Service and Department of Defense, were billed for rooms, security operations, facilities, and cart rentals at rates above typical government per diem allowances, funneling federal funds back into the family business.
4. Commercial Access & "Pay-to-Play" Monopolization
* Monetizing Official Postings: Through his publicly traded media company, subscription services were rolled out that sold financial traders and private subscribers faster or privileged access to official policy posts and statements made on Truth Social.
* Transactional Access at Private Clubs: Corporate executives, lobbyists, and foreign interests purchased memberships or paid high fees to attend VIP events at Trump properties to gain direct access to cabinet officials and executive decision-makers.
5. Foreign Gifts & State Approvals
* Acceptance of Foreign Aircraft: Legal experts flagged potential violations of the U.S. Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause when the administration accepted a high-value Boeing jet modification provided by the government of Qatar for official presidential transit.
* Fast-Tracking Overseas Business Permits: Foreign development projects involving the Trump Organization—such as golf resorts and real estate developments in Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Southeast Asia—received regulatory approvals from foreign governments while those nations were negotiating bilateral trade or defense deals with the United States.

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Literally none of that matters. Trumps businesses don’t stop because he’s President. There is literally no way his name recognition can be made to not benefit him. At least he’s selling a product, the vast majority of the others simply get inside information.

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Really?

Using his position as president to funnel taxpayer money into his businesses doesn't matter?

We have very different values. Mine are conservative values.

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Plus there are plenty who are actively doing insider trading but your fake values cause you to focus on Trump! 🤷‍♂️

If you truly had any core conservative values, you would never vote for a Democrat.

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Insider trading is illegal.

Is there any point in continuing our discussion when you've basically said you'll blindly vote party line no matter what?

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie I’ve basically said I’ll blindly vote against the other party because they are harmful for my way of life.

And I really don’t give a fuck about continuing anything with you! Why would I?

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie There is no gullible like maga #gullible

Have a great weekend!

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Lol I’ve already proven, you don’t understand the natl debt. You don’t understand how Ttumps businesses work and you don’t even care about insider trading! 🤷‍♂️

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie I care very much about insider trading- AND our president's OBVIOUS self-dealing

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie His family is running the business Gerry, they’re good at it, get over it!

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Easy to be good when you are your own customer ...

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Except he isn’t dumbass, he’s selling a product.

@sawmillWill @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie Name calling means, you're losing 👏

@GerryInColorado @scotteeze @RepThomasMassie I’m not trying to win dumbass, I don’t need to convince you or anyone else, why would I care if you’re too stupid to understand simple things?
