It’d have been better if the question was said to his face, rather than shouted while he was walking away. ---

Faux is showing it now. Massie is currently talking about the murderous, illegal boat strikes (my words, not his). ---

I can see that but will the results be any different than Trump’s two impeachments – an indifferent Senate doesn’t even look at the evidence the House provides? ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > I think my Schadenfreude needle got bent but why now instead of in with the new congress January? Massie did actually introduce articles of impeachment against Hegseth back in September. But instead of allowing a vote, Mike Johnson adjourned the House, which has not convened since (they’ve worked a historically low number of days this year because Johnson correctly surmised that was better for the Party than not). Now that they’ve re-convened, Massie re-introduced the articles, now with 2 months more interest. Johnson can adjourn the House again, I suppose, after less than a day (?), but he sees the writing on the wall. Massie himself will be out of the House in January but I get the feeling that this isn’t over. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > I can see that but will the results be any different than Trump’s two impeachments – an indifferent Senate doesn’t even look at the evidence the House provides? Perhaps, it’s about bringing things to a vote before this Congress adjourns, to force Republicans to take a stance one way or the other. And, as Massie is leaving office (having lost his re-election primary to a Trump-endorsed opponent), it’s his parting “gift” to Trump. ---
