Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) posted a tweet with a grim message Friday, noting that he was "not suicidal" in response to a commenter worried he could potentially face threats or other repercussions for his work on the disclosure of the Epstein Files.
This isn’t some mass revolt. This is a subset of the oligarchy trying to get Trump out so they can get back to getting maximum wealth from our labor. These two are doing the literal minumum of their job description and our government is in such shambles as to make them look like heroes. Massie and Ro Khanna both have taken dark money.
For all the people that are misreading what I’m saying. This shouldn’t be the new normal. Prosecuting sex trafficking rings, pedophiles and CSAM material was not political 4 years ago. The Biden administration dropped the ball on the Epstein files. Politicians are not your friends, they’re not supposed to be charismatic movie stars. They’re supposed to listen to their constituency, respond to the needs of their community and keep the status quo. These two are the only ones who remembered the first two. This is good. They’re doing their job. I’ll celebrate when something comes from all of this. But otherwise, don’t let this be the new normal. Demand more of your representatives. Otherwise we’ll end up with even worse ones.
It’s not great, but in much the same way that small increments have made this regime, won’t small increments in the other direction work to bring us to a better place overall?
I mean yea sure they’re not perfect but they’re trying to do something about it. If you’re expecting a perfect unblemished person you come by and fix everything then you’re never gonna get anything done because such a person doesn’t exist in the real world. Sometimes bad people do good things and that’s fine.
This happened in the early 90s and they killed everyone exexpt a victim as an example. Look up the Franklin Scandal. CIA and Mossad, this is as dangerous as it gets.
These two are doing the literal minumum of their job description and our government is in such shambles as to make them look like heros.
Like people who look back fondly at the Bush administration. They were monsters, and when you let monsters off the hook, the next stage is MAGA 2016, and if you let THEM off the hook, you get MAGA 2024.
We don’t to see what we get if we let them off the hook again.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, at least someone is trying something, let the enemy of the enemy be a friend, even if just for today

Small might not be enough summed and they could be controlled opposition. Soo, cautious optimism maybe?
This is exactly where I’m at. I’m withholding praise until they actually do their fucking job.
