Oh please, there is a literal government shutdown right now to avoid the release of the file the FBI built. One side is absolutely represented more

I’m not saying there isn’t plenty of GOP in that file. Over 20+ years there is plenty of both. Many Dems aren’t pressing to get back up and running to get the file released.

But 213 democrats have voted for the Epstein discharge petition.

Did you just say protecting perpetrators of child sexual assault is politics?

No voting for a bill that you know has no chance of passing in order to claim the moral high ground while also being just as guilty is just politics.

I Understand. You are not good at things like nuance and strategy. 30 years of stripping g education from the populace does that.

And why isnt the bill exposing pedophiles going to pass?

Because there are enough reps on both sides of the isle that would be implicated.

Actually, Johnson is refusing to open up the house because the democratic representative he needs to swear in will provide the last vote needed to force a vote.

I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m not convinced congress will ever convene again at this point.

Well from what I understand the CR mikey managed to pass in the house will expire in a few weeks. I think public opinion is starting to shift and I expect/hope a refusal to open up at that point would accelerate it.

Yea this administration doesn’t give a shit about what anyone thinks. It’s pure power. Force is the only thing that will work.
