Disgraceful RINO Grifter Tom Massie is Now Sending Out Texts Claiming Trump Endorsed Him Rather Than His Opponent

Fuck this guy in the pinecone.

Sociopaths love lying to people. Duping people makes them feel powerful and intelligent and masterful.

When actually they're just degenerates who do not possess the simple but powerful moral inhibition against lying that normal people do.

Because normal people have trouble lying, they have difficulty detecting truly brazen lies by psychopaths completely unbothered by lying. Normal people who are bothered personally by lying cannot even imagine just lying about big things that can be easily checked, so brazen sociopaths can pass lies by them sometimes.

"No one would be so brazen," they think, wrongly.

And then Candace Owens dupes millions of normal but bored and dimbulb Millennial housewives who think she must be telling the truth because, well, no one would be so brazen!

Candace Owens makes her rent money based on this exploit. Most normal people think that someone will, if they're lying, avert their eyes and cough and show other signs of internal stress, so they think that they can detect most lies.

Well, they can detect most liars because most liars are normal people who do experience internal stress when they're lying.

Then there are the psychopaths like Candace Owens and Tom "Pinecone" Massie, who do not stammer and blink when they lie, but grin ear-to-ear because they love lying. Normal people do not detect these lies because, well, what kind of maniac would become almost sexually excited by lying?

They think it's their superpower.

And it is, in a way. It's a gift of Satan.

🚨 VOTER ALERT 🚨

Thomas Massie sent a text claiming to be endorsed by President Trump. That is false.

Listen to President Trump in his own words endorsing Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein and calling Massie “the worst Congressman in history.”

Duper's Delight:

"Duper's delight" (sometimes informally called a duper's grin) is a psychological phenomenon where a person smiles or smirks because they feel a thrill or satisfaction from successfully deceiving, manipulating, or getting away with lying to someone.
Psychologists identify it through the following key characteristics:
Microexpression: It often appears as a fleeting, involuntary microexpression (like a smirk or a raised corner of the mouth) that breaks through an otherwise serious or sad facial expression.
Contradictory Emotion: It can happen when a person is recounting a tragic or negative event but unconsciously flashes a grin because they are focused on the "success" of their lie.
Underlying Psychology: Coined by behavioral scientist Dr. Paul Ekman, the emotional boost is linked to a sense of power, arrogance, or the adrenaline rush of pulling the wool over someone's eyes.

Psychopaths experience and even more powerful thrill from duping their "inferiors" -- "inferiors" whose internal morality prevents them from being good liars and who therefore have trouble spotting the lies of the truly conscienceless.

53 There is exactly zero difference between a sociopath and a psychopath. Hollywood has sold everyone on the idea that psychopaths are murderous, but in fact, most are law-abiding citizens. They have no conscience. Literally, their brains are hardwired to have no remorse. This tends to lead them to have no empathy, either, and to misinterpret their own emotions, or to have fewer of them than normal.

My son sits very high on the standard psychopathy diagnostic chart. We had no leverage on him with shame, because he has no shame about anything. Every interaction is purely transactional. Makes for a lot of damned work raising a kid like that.

A lot of very successful people are high on the psychopathy chart. If they have drive and energy, they can do very well in business and politics. I suspect that is why we see so many of them in Washington.

IMHO, Sociopaths are more of a flat affect. They don't care emotionally whether you believe them or not as long as the lie works. To them, other people are just things to be manipulated for gain.

Psychopaths enjoy doing what we used to call evil or wicked so they enjoy lying to your face and getting away with it. Same with killing, etc.

97 I think people look at a psychopath and think they are immoral. This isn't necessarily true. My son knows Catholic morality, he goes to Confession for his failures, he certainly knows wrong from right.

At the same time, he lies constantly, he has a super-inflated sense of himself despite his constant failures, and he takes clear advantage of any situation that he can, regardless of the damage to others around himself.

He is also quite capable of kindness, he loves animals and treats them with respect, he is a hard worker, and he is raising his infant son with great care and dedication.

And yes, his lack of conscience is disturbing to most folks, and he is judged on that constantly. But it isn't something anyone can fix.

Media is full of fake reports and they are as sociopathic liars as a lot of politicians are. Probably more likely to be even as we have seen recently.

The truth is Massie has little to no national support when considering how vast the US population is but it seems concentrated when you look online to that fake and gay world. In reality, I don't think it matters much as that sort will simply float to the next crap politician. Like leftists, it is the system that these numb nuts want to end by any means possible and it is clear by their posts online that they are not interested in any actual policy debates--only slanders, lies, and lame ass gay anti Semitic memes.

Scorecards are idiotic as they are always cherrypicked votes. If you must use something, use Nominate scores (Poole and Rosenthal) which uses ALL votes and segregates these by Congress.

And it matters on crucial votes the most where the leadership bill may not pass. The only reason that Massie could persist in his behavior was Johnson's razor thin majority did not permit him to punish a defector or even remove them from the caucus. If Johnson's cushion was 10-20 members, Massie would have been toast a long time ago for what he did.

Yes, constitutional history of why certain provisions are there is woefully taught. I taught the Articles among other constitutional matters and for a long time, appeared at teacher's conferences to give talks about different constitutional issues.

A lot of our current Constitutional provisions come about due to a) defects in the Articles that about led to dissolution of the United States, b) defects that we perceived when being run by Great Britain under its constitution, and c) defects that popped up in state constitutions from independence to the Framing of the Constitution.

We tried to copy the good stuff and fix the bad stuff. Then the Antifederalist argued that they forgot a bill of rights, so that got added immediately after the Constitution went into effect.

"Senior Iran Analyst Dror Balazada (@DBalazada) reports that the Houthi terrorist organization has not received any money or weapons from Iran for the past six months.

Consequently, they are refusing to cooperate with Tehran’s planned "adventures" until their funding is restored.

The Houthis are reportedly operating out of "sheer fear" of @realDonaldTrump and American strikes, leading them to stick to a reported agreement with Trump to secure vital "breathing room."

Beyond the American threat, the group is also deeply afraid of a potential Saudi military intervention within Yemeni territory."

209 This is just sad, Ace. You are faithfully reposting every single Gallrein op on Massie. The sexual misconduct lies.. came from Gallrein. The supposed Massie texts claiming endorsement from Trump? Coming from Gallrein.

How do I know? cause this is my district. Massie WAS endorsed by Trump. It is literally true. Massie has been running TV ads for weeks pointing out the fact that Trump and Massie have endorsed each other in the past.

But the texts coming out today are all coming from Gallrein warning about texts from Massie claiming endorsement from Trump. Problem is, there is no such text message from Massie's campaign. Its another Gallrein campaign op.

And the biggest irony? You posted a Freedom score about 2 'F' ranked senators that you wanted to see primaried. So, I looked up Massie's score. Guess what? A. He is ranked #10 most conservative voting congressman.

the attempt to primary Massie is a purity test. He isn't voting the way Trump wants him to, so we have are supposed to chuck out one of the most bedrock, principled conservatives in Congress to replace him iwth a RINO.

"But I don't like how he voted 6 years ago!"

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump is privately pressuring Leader John Thune to FIRE the liberal Senate Parliamentarian — who is unilaterally BLOCKING CBP and ICE funding in the reconciliation bill, per NOTUS

FIRE HER NOW!

She also blocked some of the Big Beautiful Bill AND ballroom security funding

Thune can also just IGNORE her — but apparently, he’s not interested in doing any of this.

We are TIRED of Senate “procedure” constantly overruling the mandate! 🇺🇸

Republicans can still go back and revise the wording to get the new provisions included, but it’s STILL up to the parliamentarian to decide if it follows the “rules.”

Mine could be shamed but only in the way he would get offended if you made him think he looked bad. So he would get super angry if that happened. I guess maybe not the same as shamed. Fuckin weirdo.

OT: I'm getting really annoyed with these delivery drivers who don't speak English. I've had a bunch of Chinese drivers delivering to the shop next to mine over the last few months, and I just had one who only spoke Spanish a few minutes ago. Problem is, the neighbor isn't in most of the time, so they try to drop off his packages and have me sign for them. I have no problem doing that when the drivers speak English, but when they start typing the address into Google Translate and expect me to read it off their phone... Fuck you. If you're gonna cross the border illegally and violate the law on the job, have the common courtesy of learning English, ass-munch.
