From Bill Clinton to feigning ignorance, Republicans would rather not talk about the birthday card

Republicans in the House of Representatives would rather not talk about the “bawdy” birthday note that Donald Trump supposedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday party.

The House Oversight Committee had released many of the documents related to the late convicted sex offender regarding his trafficking of girls and young women. But some of the members of the committee don’t want to talk about the card that Trump is alleged to have signed and sent.

“I am so goddamn sick of being asked about a f*****g birthday card,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) told The Independent on Tuesday.

    They and only they can solve this problem by impeaching Trump.

    They won’t because they’d rather play the victim than admit because the congestive load of accepting they are the victimizers would cause them to increment our nation’s climbing suicide rate.

      They won’t because they’d rather play the victim

      I often find myself in political discussions with Republican voters, for some of them, this is spot on.

      One of the most flawed arguments I have heard is that the Republican Party wants to release the Epstine files, but they can’t because of the Democrats.

      When I pointed out that they control all branches of government, and the only way they Democrats would be able to prevent them from doing that is if elected Republican representatives chose to vote against it, I was told it was still the Democrats fault… because they would cancel and persecute anyone even remotely associated with the people on that list.

      The ones who still support their party’s leadership and direction are clearly master gymnasts im dodging accountability and performing as the victim. It’s not the Republicans’ fault— It’s the Democrats fault. And when it’s not the Democrats’ fault, it’s still the Democrats fault, but for a different reason.

        I witnessed a MAGA jackass, completely unprovoked, assault a navy vet with a US flag on Labor Day.

        And then as he was being handcuffed I heard all about how he wasn’t at fault.

        This is how republicans run Texas. They’ve had a stranglehold on Texas politics for decades and yet still blame anything bad on democrats, woke, and sustainable energy. They blamed the freeze on windmill farms, for fucks sake.
