The government’s not nearly shut down enough. Lawmakers are still strutting around on camera, collecting paychecks, while not doing the jobs they were hired/elected to do. ICE gets to keep wreaking mayhem. The president still gets to inflame the country by shanghaiing the National Guard to attack his own citizens. And the most incompetent administration ever gets to keep cosplaying as responsible leaders.
Is it any wonder that we remain focused on the one true thing that manages to unite us all? Trump/Epstein.
Well, everyone except the GOP Congress that is. They remain firmly on the side of coverup.
Or not? The latest today…
Citing talks with GOP counterparts, Rep. Eric Swalwell suggested that House Republicans’ support for President Trump in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is collapsing.
“It’s coming to an end guys,” Swalwell wrote on X. “I’ve spoken to a lot of House Republicans this week and they’ve confided that Trump’s movement/support is fading. As one told me, ‘this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no want wants to defend a pedo-protector. It’s just a matter of time.’ ”
Trump continues to cast suspicion on himself by calling the Epstein files a “hoax.” But it wasn’t a hoax when he called for their release over and over on the campaign trail. And promised he would do just that if elected.
Psyche.
Attorney General Pam Bondi strongly hinted she had a list to expose powerful clients of Epstein who might be mentioned in the files, but later said there was no list.
Double psyche.
The recent election of a new Democratic House Rep. Adelita Grijalva would be the tipping point vote to force the release of government documents. But Speaker Johnson has refused to swear her in blaming the shutdown.
The speaker told Democrats who confronted him on the matter Wednesday, “We’re going to do that as soon as we get back to work, but we need the lights turned back on, so we encourage both of you to go open the government.”
Not a psyche. Just a disingenuous lie.
Republican Rep Thomas Massie, who is leading the charge to release the Epstein files, posted on X on Sunday:"Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files."
If sex abuse of minor children has become a wishy-washy topic not worthy of investigation because it might be inconvenient or damaging to power, we really have lost our way as a country.
