    I hope it’s written well enough that it includes “non affiliated PACs” that are coincidentally funded by foreign governments. AIPAC loves pretending it’s not AIPAC

      It’s legislation written by a Republican, it’s going to be full of loopholes and also somehow send a bunch of taxpayer money to one of his buddies

        Massie is less likely to do that than most. He’s the token reasonable Republican. You always have one who has either principles or limited empathy.

        I would prefer actual empathy, but a principled man is someone you can usually work with.

            I’m saying that there’s one reasonable republican, who occasionally breaks with the party due to actually having some principles. This one person gives the rest cover.

            The rest have no principles beyond self enrichment. They believe in nothing except power. The one token reasonable one is just that. One.

      If you look at his record, Massie is basically just a baby Rand Paul. Once Paul eventually retires, I fully expect Massie to run for (and win) his Kentucky Senate seat.

    Wait … organizations that lobby in the US for the interests of foreign nations aren’t already required to register as foreign agents?

    Massive is a GOP piece of shit and certainly no friend to democracy.

    But, he, at least on the topic of Israeli colonization of America, is a principles piece of shit. Far more than I can say about the rest of his Nazi party.
