The 4th Congressional District GOP primary race in Kentucky is another one that promised to test the power of an endorsement from President Donald Trump. And, just like the Louisiana Senate GOP primary, this one did not disappoint, as Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein defeated longtime Rep. Thomas Massie in what turned out to be the most expensive House primary in U.S. history, one which pitted some prominent Republican figures against each other.
The race wasn't without shenanigans from Massie's campaign down the homestretch, though, as Gallrein appeared to gain momentum:
Trump, of course, was not amused, as RedState reported:
Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Gallrein, who served as a Navy SEAL for 30 years and who is a 5th-generation farmer, had a simple yet effective message from the start of his campaign, entering the race in October with Trump's endorsement already in hand:
"This is Trump country. It’s time we had a congressman who acts like it."
Barring any surprises in the general election, Gallrein will be a member of the House of Representatives for the remaining two years of Trump's second term.
I have nothing but utter contempt for what the American political system has devolved into. This type of niggerlicious thinking of putting party circus shows above principle is exactly why I have complete and utter contempt for American politics.

Anyway, the sheer retardation of thinking old people won't still be old people when today's young people are old people. 'T-they disagree with me, can't they just die already, they're old!' Wait maybe I'm wrong since it's adult males acting like 14 year old girls here
Anyway,
It was early evenin Tues-day
Thomas was gulpin down the sauce
And he really enjoyed his stay
But he must be griftin on
Goodbye Massie
You're a fag
Tucker's pinecone
Up your ass
Hope you find your
Reichadise
Come tomorrow

I hope Massie runs as an independent just to split the Republican vote and prove this Miriam Eidelman-backed candidate is a empty suit with no support besides the zios. Will the Democrats win? Yes. Is it worth spiting the Zio lobby? Also yes.

I hate all those antisemitism tourists!
imagine voting for a faggot to spite the based jews.
If you want to make america better, put liberal jews in camps, they are the fatherlandless cosmopolitans.
Their arguments against israel are all gay. ohh no, they are evil colonialists! thats not an argument, arabs arent people and making them eat rocks to build a colonie is not wrong.
just make sure to castrate them or you end up with the same issue the Us has been facing with negros...
A MAGA candidate in a MAGA district endorsed by the MAGA cult leaders in an election that only registered MAGA party members are allowed to vote in could only win by 1 point, MAGA is fucked

Oy Vey! Bad Massie! Can't name the owners goy! JewJew cum donny will save the shekelers from your evil scrutiny and hateful Noticing!!! View attachment 9030239
I'd rather have AIPAC-naming Massie than an Epstein islander any day. AIPAC America isn't a real nation, it's just a dystopian Jewish playpen, where banker kikes get to break their toys for free... View attachment 9030231

I liked Massie but he sabotaged himself when he started attacking Trump on immigration and on the Epstein files by constantly boosting the idea that Trump was in them as a perpetrator of abuse.

Massive doesnt actually have principals, he's just as if not more self-serving as the rest of them.
If Massie had principals, he :
- wouldn't have voted to increase spending under Biden and then grandstanded to block it under Trump.
- would've verified his "Epstein Clients" instead of releasing incorrect names, making an ass out of himself, and justifying every excuse used to prevent releasing them.
- would've ran commercials about being a "Strong independent voice in Congress" instead of commercials of being a "Strong Trump Ally" - while being primaried for causing problems for Trump.
Massie didn't lose because he had principals, he lost because he was a grandstanding loudmouth who didn't deliver on the things his voters cared about. He cared more about spectacle and attention than on meeting their needs, and then tried to manipulate them. Susan Collins, whether I personally agree with her or not, goes against party lines rather often, but she's also kept her seat for a long time because thats what her constituents actually want.
I find it disappointing because on paper there actually was alot I liked about Massie in the past. However, he got too high on himself and started focusing on what got him the most attention, not delivering results. He could easily have bucked the line on a few key issues that he and his voters really cared about, but he chose instead chose to be a persistent obstacle.
