      Yeah I’m pretty positive that he himself was a trafficker. Not just a client. Also a lot of the girls are likely dead.

      I bet that is what is being hidden. Because it’s worse than what people think it is.

      Maga is already ok with him being a pedo as long as it was girls.

      So it has to be much worse than that.

    The Democrats should threaten shut the government down unless they release the Epstein files. Fuck it all, make the Republicans have to tell their constituents they were willing to shut the government down to protect the Pedophile in Chief

      That would require the democrats to act as an actual opposition party, which they have basically never done.

      EDIT: I apologize, I must make a correction, the democrat party did act as an actual opposition party from approximately 1861 until the early 20th century, but I don’t think anyone should cite that as a proud example.

    Mike Johnson shut the government down to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Full stop.

    I don’t understand this at all healthcare in America is private so what the fuck does the government have to “worry” about? They are not paying for any of this.

    Believe it or not, just a tactic. The “art of the deal” is only bullying or doubling down. Find something more horrible for your opponents to fight, to distract from the real battles. We need to stand firm on healthcare for millions and the rule of law, regardless whether they threaten permanent firings, regardless whether they threaten worse to marginalized people arts of our population.

    I’m not saying this behavior is in any way acceptable, just that it’s trying to move the battle lines.
