Seems they have nothing to worry about when it comes to Taco being in those files...

The Democrats are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. There’s nothing there, nothing of importance, and the Trump administration has already asked the courts to start working on the release, so there’s no point in the House getting involved anyway.
This is such a non-issue that the Republicans have shut down the entire legislative session and won’t vote on any of their own bills until September. Again, Democrats are just trying to make a show out of nothing, which is why blocking it is the Republicans’ top priority. Their work would be redundant anyway, which is why the Republicans are so unafraid to vote on it that everyone just up and left.
On an unrelated note, my favorite local restaurant is so clean and compliant with all regulations that when visited by the food inspector they turned out the lights, locked all the doors, and refused to serve any food again until the health department leaves. As one does when they’re unafraid and have nothing to hide.
“Christian” Mike Johnson doing his best to give cover to pedophiles. Wonder if him and his son discuss these sins at bedtime together while going over their porn monitoring.
Can you imagine how much better off we'd be if they were this determined to do any positive thing at all in their careers?
Well that pretty much confirms it
The GOP till about a week ago: “we need to release the files!” The GOP now: “ we need to protect the philes!”
Been way more than a week, so it’s nice to see that they’re struggling to get this one to go away. Good momentum, the US needs to keep it up.
It's actually better if they can't pass their shitty Republican bills. Democrats should just keep nagging about this. Either they actually have to address it, or the Republicans block themselves.
They are doing more damage with all their other nefarious shit going around or ignoring Congress/judges/scotus/etc, we're still in a really, really fucked up place right now and it's still only going to get worse for the average person.
It'll take at least the next 2-4 years to start to show tangible devastating affects that will get millions of Americans killed with stripping away healthcare, food/snap programs, children's cancer research being scrapped, and a list of 100 other programs being cut, gutted,or flat out just gone now and some of those programs may never come back. Shit ain't over just cuz Congress put their feet up on the desk. Stay sharp, stay focused.
Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. The GOP are really up against rock and hard place.
Can we crowdfund this?
I wish. There's a permanent restricted airspace around the capitol. In the before times, an unauthorized aircraft would get in serious trouble with the FAA. Nowadays with the sycophantic dictator in charge, who knows what could happen.
But it'd be a damn cool way to say your last words.
Bro if you're flying in restricted airspace near govt buildings you know what happens. You get intercepted by a fighter jet and either have a friendly escort out of the restricted area or you make friends with a missile and get obliterated.
I would not recommend trying to find out which will happen.
On a related note:
I've been wondering if drones could be adapted to essentially act as glide bombs that could operate without direct control input. Those probably would get around most protections especially if they had a glide slope that they'd stay on if their systems were jammed electronically. Like they get launched, fly to whatever altitude they need to be at to take a long glide down, and just go for pre programmed coordinates.
That's probably something the war in Ukraine has either made a thing or it was tried and found to be dumb but I've not done research on it.
It's not like civilians are gonna get their hands on true missiles and launch systems. But civies could find a way to put together some drones packed with explosives pretty easily I imagine.
Eveyone: We want you to release the pedo files
Trump: What if we release the pedophiles instead?
I've always wondered why politicians get a massive break in the summer, seems like a really bad idea to have the people running the country not around to do their jobs in case of an emergency. I know they can be recalled, but still, that takes time. This isn't just a USA specific problem either.
It’s funny too because I know several people who look down on teachers and other education staff because they “don’t even work a full year”. Those same people all vote conservative.
My understanding: back when the population was small enough for this government to be actually representative, the idea was that legislators would go home to wherever they were elected from and be among the people who elected them so they could still represent their desires. Why it happens now? Tradition, I guess.
If they did return to where they were elected from and interacted with the people. Mayors and town halls. That would be fantastic. But it's more golf time.
So, at what point do we decide they are not representing us, they are no longer a legitimate government, and we are going to rule without them?
only until the American people have someone to rally behind and no one has yet to step up to that position. None of the democrats will.
They need a leader, no one wants to lead.
Think of the children!
Bunch of child molesters.
Looked it up, and molestation apparently just involves touching, whereas rape involves intercourse. So it might be more accurate to say, "bunch of child rapists". But even then, that probably doesn't cover kidnapping, trafficking, abuse, drugging, and repeatedly raping a bunch of children for decades in a personal billionaire cult ring on a private island.
Every person defending these monsters deserves to be alive in the most , , and public way. I am calling for absolute of the highest degree.
Is there a way to guillotine people more than once? It'd be a shame to let them get out easy.
Is it bcz there are people in Congress who are in the files? Sounds like they're not just protecting Trump.
Man our government has fucking collapsed lol.
Well from now whenever republicans defecate some sentences involving "but the kids" from their mouths the default reply should be "Oh like the time you didn't release Epstein files?"
The entire top level of the current GOP is a pedophile, christofascist cult.
GOP = Gross Old Pedophiles
They are all on the list.
Anyone check the Con subreddits/communities to see how they're dealing with that little nugget?
MAGAt morons have been told directly by their Dear Leader... But they wanted those files revealed. What shall they do? Worship an old nasty rapist or learn the truth. Hmmm, probably whatever Faux News Entertainment tells them to think...
Lol IDK how you've lived through US politics in the past 10 years if you think there is literally anything that could turn these morons away from Trump. The Epstein files could be released and say "Donald Trump raped 30 teen girls on Epstein Island" and it wouldn't change a thing.
They'd remark on how restrained he was, 'he only had sex with 30 children, the Democrats murder hundreds of children every day to collect their adrenochrome.'
The insane outnumber them, and they made the decision a long time ago, the answer was yes.
It's not that the insane outnumber them, it's that the military has crazy firepower and is controlled by trump loyalists, and they are willing to open fire on citizens. The sane people know that.
The only hope is infiltrating the military i guess?
The US fell into this nonsense long before Trump took it to full, unashamed facism. The people of that country had lots of time and opportunity to just simply not vote for the objectively evil people and even right now currently have the ability to vote.
The amount of gerrymandering it would take to make a 10% minority pull off a win is so far beyond what we have today. But it’s not a 10% minority, it’s over 70 million people who handed Trump the popular vote. They could simply have just not done that but their hate and fear mean they’re more than happy to support such a wildly cruel party over and over again. It’s not the military that’s forcing them to vote for dear leader, not yet anyway, and there have been decades of opportunity to sort this shit out before this point.
No weak excuses, that shithole country has forced its way into everyone else’s business and needs to shape the fuck up.
Tbf I didn't say anything about it being a 10% minority. But trump won with less than 50% of the popular vote which we know included voter suppression and straight doctoring votes, so I think the people who didn't vote for him do outnumber those who did, but yes, it is definitely well over 70M people.
I'm not making excuses at all, something must be done, but what do we expect? Their cops have insane fire power and will open fire on civilians, so I guess we just have to hope some people are willing to martyr themselves and commit suicide by cop?
I hope for a revolution, but I understand why people might be afraid to stand up.
Isn't that why you have the second amendment in the first place? So that you can rise up against the state? Does not compute.
They think it's going to blow over by the time they get back
Which mean they're putting plans in place to make it blow over
Feckless cowards.
Phenomenal post!
