The GOP chair was caught off guard and scrambled—first delaying the vote, then trying to sabotage it by adding amendments to include Biden administration communications. Democrats called their bluff and agreed.
Then the GOP chair, Rep. Higgins, lied, claiming the motion FAILED until Rep. Robert Garcia forced a full roll call vote.
Ultimately, the vote passed 8-2 after 3 Republicans DEFIED their leadership and joined all 5 Democrats to pass the motion.
Ever heard of pigeon chess? You’re the pigeon.
Look buddy, if you just insist on playing with the grandmasters running this story (specifically, the galaxy brains behind CALL TO ACTIVISM on X (formerly twitter) and exactly no other sources of any variety at all) but god and everyone will know I tried to help you out of this obvious fucking engagement bait you got tangled in your before I left off, so here let me google that shit for you you lazy arrogant projective ungrateful [insert generic unflattering adjective here]: Exactly 0 news outlets are running with the “the chair tried to pull a fast one while literally everyone was watching” angle. The only other source I was able to find was one other video repeating the claims (https://bsky.app/profile/davek67.bsky.social/post/3lurty2bcik27) with suspiciously similar claims and pacing and structure and with the same video source as the X “article” (read: casual plagiarism).

I could go on like this for some time but if you don’t get it by now you never will. Or, to put it in a metaphor you might more easily understand: at some point I have to stop predigesting your food for you and push you out of the nest or you’ll never fledge.
Buddy, you swallowed clickbait. Stop being stubborn and actually check your sources next time.
Just to be clear, you are on the side of people defending rapist, pedophile, child sex traffickers.
Fuck you. Have fun shitting all over the board and declaring victory.
You ignorant wretch, im on your side. I’m not shitting on a chessboard, that twitter post was a fantasy made up for engagement and you fell for it and I’m telling you about it. We’re not playing chess. There are no pigeons. It’s the internet. People lie for attention. Can we please resume our focus on the actual story? It’s good that the epstein files are finally being taken seriously, but I have no faith in this government in any capacity to actually run this investigation due to corruption. The corrupt government is bad enough on its own. You don’t have to make up extra bullshit the shit they’re already actually doing is evil enough. Fuck off with your boring shit now please or actually dont this is the most human interaction I’ve had in months.
Yeah, the government is so corrupt that nobody in that position, who would more than likely benefit from that information being withheld, would ever attempt to lie to get their way, right? That would just be ridiculous, right?
