We want Thomas Massie for House Speaker

submitted by x0x7 to USPolitics 4 monthsDec 30, 2024 09:49:06 ago (+32/-0)     (USPolitics)

He's the only Republican member of congress not controlled by Isreal. All other Republicans have an AIPAC minder that they call their "AIPAC guy" that they obey. On every vote they think, well what does my AIPAC guy think. I'll just do what he says. Thomas Massie got rid of his. He's openly critical of Israel's genocide of Palestinians.

Now Mike Johnson is potentially going to loose the speakership because he needs 50% of the votes and it is assumed that the democrats all vote against the Republican speaker. So really he needs 95%+ of the Republican votes.

If a few of the Isreal critical Democrats were to back Thomas Massie we could end up with a Speaker of the House that has no problem talking about how it's corrupt that we give Israel money when we have problems here just to have them use the money to create more problems there.

The speaker of the people's house should be chosen by the people.

It’d be too powerful a role. It’d be rigged for sure.

Really, I'm not making a joke or trying to be funny. I believe we should pick a speaker of the house with someone like Rick that owns the muffler shop across town, or David the electrician at one of the factories here in town.

Jake the Plummer said he do it, but he doesn't want to take a pay-cut.

I think we want someone smart. I know of this mathematician that's pretty down to Earth.

The only way you will get him is if he's an actor there to pacify you.
