but on this one particular issue, he at least acts like a human being.

That's more than I can say about the rest of his party.

With great danger to their lives. Outing out billionaire pedophiles,and Trump they can be murdered any day in this climate. Massie has been more of an Independent than Republican. Trump despises him and calls him names daily and Miriam Adelson has put up tens of millions to primary him. Republican Civil War.
We have the anti war/ Epstein files Republicans against the nothing to see here pro war Republicans.

You have the anti war, anti pedo group - Tucker, Candace, MTG, Massie, Rand Paul,
Independents Chris Russel and Dave Smith, Rand Paul, Josh Haley etc - This group is behind Massie calling for Epstein files.

The bomb bomb bomb the world Republicans say nothing to see in the Epstein files.

These two groups are hating each other.

Some of his posts get 400 thousand or more views. He posts what pedos resigned from their mega corporations each day.

We can go back to being normal enemies afterwards.

Which might go a long way toward actually informing the low-information Fox viewership as to the evil and perverted nature of the tangerine traitor.

I respect him and all he is doing. I am no longer on social media but if I were I would friend him and follow him. He is putting country over party.

country over party. We have excoriated them for being the party of trump rather than traditional republicans. I will keep my mouth shut about any of his shortcomings.

Kind of an interesting guy - built his own off grid house - grows food — - not your typical money grabbing Republican. He’s for limited government, less spending, no wars - main problem I see with Independents is they are not big on spending for services for the poor.

30. He's a typical Libertarian.

Acquired enough money to indulge in his preferred lifestyle, and thinks he did it on his own, not seeing how much of his money collection depended on hundreds of other people working just as hard or harder than he did, and a government with taxes and regulations that gave him the resources and even playing field to make all his money.
"I made all my money on my own" is what a thief says. Everyone else makes their income and gets resources to survive through community activities.

When was the last time you saw someone head out into the wilderness with just some clothes, a blanket, a leatherman knife, and a pair of boots for a year and come back healthy and prosperous?
Even back in the day, "Mountain Men" and prospectors came back into town or worked with local tribes and ranchers on a regular basis to trade and get supplies. And they depended on those trips and the fairness of the local governments or good will of others in general to survive.
Libertarians, like most 10 year olds playing cowboy or explorer, always forget how much they depend on others to survive.

Trump was the man at the top, everything Epstein did was in service of Trump.
