Am I the only person who thinks there is something wrong with Thomas Massie? Massie used to be a solid conservative and loyal Republican and yet now he's gone full John McCain, voting with the Democrats to undercut the Trump Administration and his own party repeatedly. For instance, Massie co-authored the bill invoking the War Powers Act to hamstring the President while we are in the heat of open battle. Massie wraps himself in the cloak of the Constitution, arguing that only Congress can take make war. But is it principled? Did Massie invoke the War Powers Act when Biden bombed Iranian militia along inside Iraq, for instance. Did he kick up a fuss when Obama dropped 26,000 bombs on seven countries in 2016 without Congressional approval? He might have disapproved but it didn't go any farther than that.
But NOW he's apparently discovered that the Constitution gives war-making power ONLY to Congress even while the President is Commander in Chief of the armed services and is tasked with making the nation safe. Oh, and every President since Washington has exercised this power onoccasion.
So what gives? Why has Massie suddenly changed in this way?
Our friends at Canada Free Press are doing the work Americans Just Won't Do and they have learned:
New FEC filings reveal Rep. Thomas Massie received several max-level $7,000 donations from Mahrouq
Also backed Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna, Cori Bush, Keith Ellison, and ActBlue with 79% of his overall donors also giving to Democrats
Fin
Mahrouq is the name of a poorly identified donor to the Democrats - for big money. Massie is receiving donations from the same people who support ACT BLUE.
And who is this Mahrouq? Sounds like a foreign Muslim to me, although I suppose he could be a Somali.
Is that why Massie made repeated calls for ICE to get out of Minnesota? Was he profiting from the con game going on there with Somali day care centers?
Looks like Massie has been bought by the enemy. Sold his soul.
