It's been almost a year since he promised to release the Epstein Files and I haven't seen dime one.
To think a gutless Rethuglican should earn ANYONE'S trust.
REPUBLICANS HAVE NO REDEEMING QUALITIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!

This is one of the most cringe-inducing photos I’ve seen from America. It so perfectly captures how the world sees Americans. I know they aren’t all like this, but that there are government officials who are? Yikes, y’all. Yikes.
No one is really like this. It’s just virtue signaling to insane people.
Oh, there are plenty of people like this in the US. A lot of other people who wish they were.
An absolute fuckton of people are exactly like this, if this wasn't fairly normal then we wouldn't consistently have 1/3-2/3 of the country agreeing that these exact people are the best politicians.
I grew up in an insanely red area that was very rural. Very much a gun culture. Most trucks had a gun rack on them, etc. We had both the first day of buck season and doe season off, because most kids old enough to hunt, including some girls, were going to be skipping school anyway.
I remember visiting a kid down the road on a snow day during high school. We watched Predator on VHS + some other movies. I remember four things - Predator, since that was the first time I saw it. I remember they had several dogs that seemingly tracked in poop into the house and no one in their family seemed particularly motivated to clean it up in a timely way (but they did rent the farm house they lived in). I remember having to walk several miles back to my house in the pitch black dark in rather deep snow after watching Predator, LOL.
Lastly: I remember being blown the fuck away by how many guns they had. I mean. Several long guns - shotguns and rifles, propped up in what seemed like every corner. Several handguns, on virtually every flat surface. I didn't really go anywhere else but the entryway, kitchen, bathroom and living room. I don't remember guns in the bathroom, but everywhere else had a gun in your field of vision no matter where you turned.
I doubt they had a lot of money. And they had probably thousands of dollars' worth of guns laying around.
These people definitely exist.
Bud, Massie doesn't have the Epstein files, and he's been one of the only Republicans pushing for it. I'm not sure what you expect.
Further, he's a solid R. He's gonna endorse and vote for other conservative candidates. Also not sure what you expect.
Seems like you thought he turned to the left which is most certainly not the case. He only grew a spine on one specific issue, which we shouldn't be attacking him for. Easy to attack him on lots of other issues, though.
Massie isn't a Never Trump Republican. In his own primary campaign, he was proudly saying that he voted with Trump the vast majority of the time. He's a guy with one good position and endless bad ones, so I'm not sure why he ever got as much goodwill as he has.
I grew up with guns. My father probably owned 20-30 guns. I enjoy shooting them. I think they can be a useful tool in the right situation. But I am not a republican. I have never been. This photo is a joke. It is pandering to an idea of what people like this think people who vote for him want to see. It is wrong on so many levels. It should be almost insulting if people think about it. But as I get older I realize people do not think.
