The GOP-led House Rules Committee has shut down activity in the House this week to avoid having to take a vote on the Epstein files. It may not resume activity until September.

    Okay everyone, pay attention.

    THIS IS WHAT A REAL CONSPIRACY LOOKS LIKE.

    Everything we are seeing now indicates a coordinated coverup of the truth.

      Be fair…they wouldn’t do it to protect any pedophile. Only their close friends and/or selves.

    Trump on coronavirus: ‘If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any’

    Mike Johnson on the Epstein Files: “If we block the vote, then we can’t be accused of voting against releasing them, so it won’t look like we’re protecting pedophiles.”

    These dip-shits have a very strange idea of how reality works.

      Well their voters re-elect them and the billionaires continue to support them so what is this reality you are talking about?

      Nah we’re the stupid ones because they’re going to get away with it while we seethe in anger because a majority of the country are stupid enough to fall for this

      They just need enough time to fabricate some evidence or lose some or come up with another lie, or another distraction. We’ll probably forget about the pedophilia when we get sucked in to WW3 and they reinstate the draft.

    The Epstein files that Trump isn’t named in? that are a complete nothing-burger and also a democrat hoax? They shut the government down and curtail their own legislative agenda for that?

    Is it possible the withholding of these files actually has more to do with trying to keep JE’s connection to zionists hidden, a fear of losing the maga crowd if it becomes clear that Israel is a safe space for abusers? That seems like a thread that could unravel the right wing coalition in a hurry if it gets pulled into the public consciousness.
