Look at the OPs argument for why it was posted. How about you police your own instead of worrying about posters you don’t agree with, David.

Please don't use the Lord's name in vain. Do you know whether or not Massie can release the names legally? I didn't, so I did the fastest thing I could. Why remain ignorant?

If you're an expert, please describe the statutory scheme regarding the Congressional Accountability Act and its administration by the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights (OCWR).

I'm not policing anyone and I don't have "my own" - I'm simply asking what your issue is with Massie's position on opening up the books on the congressional hush fund. You seemed to be for it/appreciative of it, and then against it because the tweet isn't from today. That makes no sense to me.

How/when did you hear of the hush fund?


It had been around since 1995 and was publicly highlighted in testimony and statements, at the height of the Me-Too movement in 2017, by democrat Rep Jackie Speier

So, no…. Massie wasn’t some early champion of releasing the congressional hush fund information and if he was interested in releasing the information, he’s had 6 years to make his case

You’re defending an idiot who posted a two year old tweet claiming Massie is the one who exposed the hush fund when that is false. You’re after me when I came in this thread thanking the op thinking it was a current clip. Then he’s using AI as his replies. Yet you’re here arguing with me.

You went back to a tweet from 2 years ago to start a thread to suck off Massie over a comment that wasn’t even about him? Pathetic


Are you a repressed homosexual or something? Who thinks like that? Can't you just ask a question or criticize someone without all the references to homosexual sex acts?

Jugbow called out Congress for being hypocrites in talking about Epstein, but not even mentioning their own hush fund. Jugbow dislikes it when people who have different opinions enter "his" threads. I was respecting that.

I posted about Massie to prove that not ALL of Congress was hypocrital about this. If you know of another member of Congress who has publicly commented on the hush fund, please inform us.

I'm not defending anyone.

So OP was wrong that Massie wasn't the first to expose the hush fund, but that's not what you were responding to. You were responding to Massie's support for making public the congressmen that have used the slush fund, and then you changed your mind.

I don't know what you mean by "you're after me" - I'm asking for you to make sense of your argument. That's all.

Does Massie get credit for supporting the airing of the details of the congressional slush fund?

Lmao so your thread was about jugbow not Massie being consistent because he hasn’t posted anything new about the hush fund.

He already told you who and when the hush fund was exposed by.

BINGO!

Massie is just playing theater. He could release those names and the Epstein names, but doesn't.

Don’t put words in I didn’t say. I was ignorant and didn’t look at the date of the tweet until I saw another user call out the OP.

I also was respectful to the OP giving him thanks for thinking this was a new tweet today. That isn’t the case.

No since it’s two years old and there’s no relevant recent tweets of him doing so.

Did you post this to prove the inaction of Massie? Timestamp of 12/26/24.


I conceded that Massie might be faulted for not trying to get legislation passed:

"Maybe Massie is to be faulted for not passing a bill like with Epstein, but I doubt he could get Congress to pass a bill that revealed its secrets...even the ones for which we paid."

But, I will ask you to name another Congressman who has even MENTIONED the hush fund, much less called for transparency about it.

So, it's like there's a freshness date on tweets and once it expires, the tweeter no long means what the original tweet said.

You don't think that's retarded?

I do believe so, and it’s quite curious that he hasn’t “put his money where his mouth is” on these matters for which he’s been so outspoken. The information we’re talking about here isn’t legally classified national security information. It is information relevant to an elected official’s “mission” and duty to his constituents. Thus, IMO, he would be shielded from legal liability and blowback under Congressional immunity. Very curious indeed.

Which are you commenting about here - the Epstein list or the hush fund?

What on earth would have led you to believe the tweet was from today??? The thrust was that Massie was the first Congressman I heard even mention the hush fund.

Here's what I wrote:

quote:

Massie isn't on today's committee that's holding the hearing, but he was the first Congressman I heard even mention the hush fund. In a 2024 hearing, Massie pointed out that New York's bogus prosecution of President Trump over the Stormy Daniel payments involved TRUMP’S money, as opposed to the TAX PAYER money that Congress spends in private to protect Congressmen.

He pointed out the hypocrisy, and called for the release of the details regarding hush money payments. The only other member of Congress who I saw approve of Massie's comment was MTG. Have you seen any other members of Congress discuss the slush fund?

Maybe Massie is to be faulted for not passing a bill like with Epstein, but I doubt he could get Congress to pass a bill that revealed its secrets...even the ones for which we paid.
