Put the pressure on. Call your Rep snd Senator. Write Letters to the Editor of your local paper. Ask if they will vote to protect pedophiles?

(16,958 posts)if revelations keep on coming out, like they have in the past 2 days, we may see a lot of Repukes jumping ship to save their own skin, after all, they've got the couch fucker, JD Vance, licking his chops at the thought of being elevated to the Presidency.
Of course, as usual, this is just my opinion.

(10,683 posts)The Democrats who released the information from the Epstein estate are sharp cookies who timed the release perfectly. My bet is that they were also sharp enough to hold back some more damaging stuff that they could drop just before the vote in the House. Mayb that's why Johnson was so cagey about the vote being "next week" without specifying a particular day, so he could beat them to the vote before they drop that other shoe.

(53,840 posts)an impressive number of Republicans vote to release the Epsteins files, and if TSF is documented in them with unsavory and unforgivable behavior, then we might have the votes to impeach and convict.
Because there wont be enough MAGA support to intimidate those Republicans.
The spell will have been broken.

(4,944 posts)approve it, and tsf were to veto it, the optics will still be bad, but probably not bad enough. I agree we should hope the vote is veto proof.
If the Republicans, are smart (fat chance of that), they will rip the band aid off now. You'd think at least some of them would be tired of marching to the tune of a demented orange piper.
