    Hey nikki, how about the $170 BILLION going to wealthy investors to use losses generated by real estate to minimize their taxes on profits from things like investments in the stock market? Your fellow republicans squeezed that one in... how many people could have been helped by that?

    Why is someone from the state of Kentucky always trying to screw over the people in need? Hell in this instance even his own colleagues.

    I don't get how nonprofit orgs like the Kennedy center aren't so-called job creators. They create ****ing jobs for people. Lots of them in fact. Just becuase they don't extract tons of money and distribute it to a bnch of shareholders doesn't mean the people they employ aren't employed or are less employed than Carnival cruise or Bank of America.

    They've got history with each other.

    On April 10, 2019, Massie got in a tense exchange with Former Secretary of State John Kerry during Kerry's testimony to the House Oversight and Reform Committee when Massie called Kerry's political science degree from Yale University a "pseudoscience degree" and called Kerry's position on climate change "pseudoscience." Kerry responded, "Are you serious? I mean this is really a serious happening here?"

    From what I can tell on his voting record, Massie loves pulling this crap...many times he's been the only one voting against a bill or one of a few that vote against it. Trump's actually correct in that he's a Grandstander (although I sort of agree on everyone having to record their vote). Sounds like he's trying to make a name for himself on the national stage in order to move up in the world.

    I do find it funny that Trump is going after him though considering he's been one of Trump's strongest supporters. But, Trump only thinks in the here-and-now so now Massie is enemy #1.

    Gonna look real tasteful if the dude kicks the bucket. Knowing Kerry's track record of losing, Massie is doomed.

    Wow. So Nikki is complaining about $250 million out of a $2 TRILLION bill.

    That’s like half a drop in a huge bucket.

    Kicks the bucket from what? Being an *******? I guess if he's clenched tight enough, he could have an aneurysm or something.

    P.S. go reread Kerry's tweet
