As we get closer to the Epstein vote

It appears as if the orange asshole is starting a scorched earth policy.

It’s going to get oh so much worse.

The rat is now being pushed into the corner he painted himself into.

Be prepared for the flailings of a desperate psychopath.

What innocent person does all the things Trump does to derail justice?
It must be worse than any of us can imagine.

a cornered rat is a dangerous rat, and this rat is cornered.
I fully expect an attack on Venezuela any time now as another distraction from the pedo's involvement with Epstein and little girls.

epstein is a distraction from the starvation, enslavement and/or deportation of america's people and the privatization of all of our assets.

there will be no vote to release the Epstein files, if there is it will not pass. if it passes it will never be signed, and no credible actionable information will ever be released (except in indictments of people , probably innocent, that trump's people can smear.)

When Netanyahu was close to being held accountable for his domestic crimes, Isreal's enemy Hamas inadvertently saved him and strengthened him politically with their spectacularly vicious October 7 attack.

Now that Trump has weakened our defenses by purging military and intelligence personnel and closing whole departments involved in anti-terrorist efforts, I greatly fear that America's enemies might soon take advantage of our increased vulnerability. It would be terrible for our nation, but beneficial to Trump in the same way that it was to Netanyahu.

Vote against and be branded part of the cover up when it explodes.

Vote yes and be subjected to retribution.

The thing is, they get that when this many people have seen the files its tough to see how the lid will stay on for long. Add that to how guilty the felon is acting.

They also know something else. If they vote yes in large enough numbers, he cannot effectively attack them all.

I have no idea how things will play out, but I would absolutely NOT rule out a veto-proof majority from both the House and Senate.
