This guy is merely a puppet for Trump as he has nothing to say for himself and is running as an icon for Trump. This is exactly the person you don't want in office as he will be sure to do anything and everything requested of him by Trump. Massie thinks for himself, exactly what you want in an elected official.

Arrogant, insulting military cosplayer… like hegseth…. Tats and big mouths …. Using military secret missions like badges of honor… if I have to explain it to you then I will have to kill you. Bulls hit!

Does Massie ever install a store window dummy in the empty chair at the debates? He could have conversations with it and make it into a comedy sketch. Humiliate the sorry sommidge.

You know who else talked about the Osama bin Laden raid? Non-stop on every single bro podcast across Merica? Seal Team 6 operator Robert O’Neill — the guy who claims he killed bin Laden. Won’t shut the fuck up about it for over a decade, now. So, yeah. Seems real classified.

You know how I picked up on this little tidbit? Cause I’m playing 39 D chess over here. That’s the kind of chess I’m playing, Ken.

This is from Politico today: “The American Israel Public Affairs Committee and other pro-Israel interest groups have uncorked over $9 million in a bid to unseat Republican Rep. Thomas Massie…”

If anyone had told me a year ago that I’d be a staunch supporter of Thomas Massie, I would have laughed, but here I am. If he were running nationally, I think he’d win handily, but I’m not sure he can win in Kentucky. According to the latest polls, he’s running behind, despite his popularity with younger voters.

As I read your column, Ken, I began to wonder if Gallrein created this identity for himself out of thin air. It wouldn’t be the first time we were punked. But a fake Gallrein is maybe better than the real one.

I fear Congress is about to lose one of its few members with a backbone.

Copy-editing lapse near the end: “Most important though, he believes that the people are sheep and that those in uniform (the pack of wolves) have some license to protect them regardless of pesky politicians, and that that license derives from some secret regulation rather than from laws and the Constitution.” “(the pack of wolves)”—no, in this fantasy the ones in our uniforms are the sheepdogs—the wolves are bin Laden or the Iranians or Maduro—take your pick.

It's a sad day for America when both parties seem to believe that either being a current billionaire or a former CIA or special ops type makes you a prime candidate for elected office.

It's almost 2 AM here, so what I read when I read this" the kind of operation you saw to get Maduro, they’re standing ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year for you and your family." Is this, "the kind of operation you saw to get Maduro, they’re standing ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to do to you and your family." I think, however, that in my droopiness, I may have captured what he actually meant.

It'll be a sad day if the people of KY decide to be led around by their noses.

Thank you for shedding light on this (creepy) candidate. I am tempted to make a financial contribution to Massie, even though I generally don't vote for GOP candidates.

Sounds much like the swindler featured in Bad Vegan. Too much!
