Thomas Massie embodies George Carlin’s observation: "People who say they don’t care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don’t care what people think." If Massie were REALLY that indifferent, he wouldn’t have broken his promise to only serve three terms in Congress — or waged a scorched-Earth war with his own party to return to D.C. for term number eight.
After all, Massie’s performative brand of anti-conformity doesn’t work without an audience — and after 14 years in Congress, his national platform has never been greater. If you think he’ll squander this opportunity to slop pigs in Kentucky, you’re flippin’ nuts.
He’s leaving Congress, but I promise you, he’s not going away.
Thomas Massie didn’t go to Washington to pass bills (clearly). He’s a politician who doesn’t give a damn about legislation. That’s not what motivates him.
Instead, he sees himself as a "goodwill ambassador" for his libertarian-aligned political ideology. Yes, he valued being a U.S. congressman — but only because it gave him a national platform to promote his worldview. Passing bills was irrelevant.
He’ll pass just as much legislation as a private citizen as he ever passed as a congressman!
Yet today, he no longer needs his congressional seat to command an audience. He’s about to become the most famous GOP ex-congressman in the entire country.
Want a sneak peek of the future — his and ours?
I offer you four more slam-dunk, can’t-miss, guaranteed-to-happen predictions:
Prediction 1: The mainstream media will roll out the red carpet and transform Thomas Massie into a martyr.
Now that he lost, his media bandwagon will grow exponentially larger — because Massie is no longer a threat. He’s a politically neutered, out-of-power congressman who’s a constant thorn in President Trump’s side.
And the media can certainly work with that. He’ll be feted, applauded, and showered with praise!
Worst-case scenario for them, Massie will satisfy their "Republican quota" on roundtable interview shows (where he’ll reliably throw barbs at the president). Best-case scenario, he successfully splits the MAGA movement and divides the Republican Party.
Prediction 2: Over the short term, Massie will sign a (lucrative) book deal and a TV deal (most likely with CNN
...formerly the
Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
or MS NOW), and instead of retreating to his farm, we’ll be seeing him more than ever before.
For the mainstream media, it’s a match made in heaven — the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It’ll be a win-win relationship: Massie gets the exposure he so desperately craves, and the media gets a new blunt object to bludgeon the president.
He’s gone from Congress — and headed everywhere else.
Prediction 3: Massie will be a VERY popular guest on all the anti-Trump/anti-Israel podcasts (Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly) and will likely launch a podcast of his own.
Carlson and company are promoting the idea that AIPAC, Zionists, and "Jewish money" control the Republican Party. While they (allegedly) supported Massie’s reelection bid, had he actually won, it would’ve undermined their argument: How powerful could AIPAC be if Massie crushed ’em in his primary? But because he lost, he’s proof-positive that AIPAC/the Jews control everything.
That makes him a VERY valuable piece of PR propaganda!
In their analysis, Massie wasn’t rejected by his Kentucky constituents because they preferred a congressman who (gasp!) cooperated with Trump. Or because Massie opposed the GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill. Or because Massie opposed border security. Or because he’d rather partner with Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people,
white supremacy,
whiteanything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word
(Thomas) Nastyto the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
like Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) than work with his own party.
Nah, it’s Israel, Israel, Israel!
And Massie will happily play ball: He’s already gone on the record, claiming his election was a "referendum on whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress."
There’s a class of ex-MAGA podcasters with a Jew-fetish. They talk about Israel more than any other country. It’s become an obsession.
Thomas Massie will give ’em an excuse to talk about their favorite topic — Israel, AIPAC, and the evils of "Jewish money" — for months to come.
They’ll try their damnedest to turn him into a folk hero. And in turn, Massie will gain an army of digital supporters.
Which will be useful because...
Prediction 4: Thomas Massie will run for president in 2028 as the new Ron Paul.
Turns out that Jimmy, Dave, Igor, Ryan, and an assortment of Jew hating life-losers, disgruntled libs, sexual deviants, leg-humpers, drunks and failed comedians really aren’t a great coalition for winning a conservative primary election IRL. Shocker.

We didn’t ask for this…
…We didn’t ask for this ideological war, they did. And we finished it. Matter of fact, we didn’t even invite them to this party.
They invited themselves. And then they shit in the punch bowl and now they’re playing dumb as to why we threw their asses out.
Take your 1940s era agitprop bullshit and shove it up your ass. Or go back where you came from with your “river to the sea” terrorist friends. Those radical libs will welcome you back with open arms. Agitprop is their thing. It’s their ONLY thing.
Thanks. Have a great rest of your day! And a big thanks to the real conservatives who saw through this bullshit.

White House pans Tucker Carlson for telling Israeli TV Netanyahu dragged US into war
[IsraelTimes] Administration calls right-wing podcaster a ‘low-IQ person’ after he tells Channel 13 Trump folded to pressure from Israel lobby and accuses ‘people’ in US media of working for Israeli government.
On Tuesday night, Channel 13 aired an interview with Carlson, in which he was asked about his shift on Trump, whom he formerly supported. Carlson asserted that Netanyahu, Israel supporters in the media, and donors pushed Trump into the war. He also accused Israel of murdering thousands of children in Gaza and entertained the possibility that Israel would try to harm him for his views, while also insisting he has “always liked Israel” and is not an antisemite.
