Love calling out politicians for this. We’re there any non-Republican politicians that voted against, or was it 100% Republicans?
It was entirely republicans voting against.
Fucking Republicans. They need to go.
In the upcoming mid-term election, EVERY Democrat should be making this vote a primary part of their campaign marketing. Tie that vote to every MAGA Nazi, and don’t let go. These people are pro-Epstein, and pro-Child Sexual Abuse.
If the Dems is an incumbent, running against a MAGA who wasn’t in office, blame them for the vote anyway. Declare that they are just another vicious MAGA Nazi, and would have voted for this, and every other MAGA vote that HitlerPig demanded. They may not have been in office but they would vote 100% MAGA.
Make them wear it through the whole campaign.
It’s cute you think we’re still going to have midterms.
/s maybe?
I have my doubts, too, but until they decide to go full on dictatorship, I’m going to keep assuming it’s business as usual.
If they cancel elections, though, that’s a bright red line that they are crossing. At that point, America no longer exists, and I am under no obligation to follow its laws or pay taxes.
Who’s talking about canceling them, the ice just got a big pile of money, my bet is on ice agents with rifles standing next to each voting booth. To make sure it’s a fair and secure election of course, with all those illegals and woke leftists making trouble, better be safe.
Not to forget about those voting machines his team already has access to since the last election.
Maybe arrest some promising opponents beforehand like erdogan usually does.
Those are gonna be the best and most free elections anyone ever had.
Nobody is talking about it on the MAGA side, but that’s because it is too early. If they were to make the announcement now, that leaves more than a year for people to get angry, and the courts to weigh in, stop their ban.
Instead, they’ll wait until late next summer. They will stoke the protests between now and then, forcing them to be more and more violent. Eventually they will engineer a major violent incident, and sometimes around early to mid-October 2026, he will announce that the 2026 Mid-terms are being postponed “until peace can be restored.” Since he controls the peace, and what defines it, that will never happen.
Even so, many will believe him, and think that when those evil liberal protesters start to behave, we can get our elections back. But when he suspends the 2028 Presidential election, people will finally understand that there will never be another election as long as he is alive.
I think both outcomes are likely right now, but it’s pretty sure that there’s not gonna be a regular free democratic election.
also known as the list of people on the epstein list
People this low in the pecking order don’t get invites to Paedo Island.
Might be worth looking at who donates to them though…
Make and publish lists of everyone who donates to these politicians and make it as public as possible. Make sure everyone knows that if they fund these politicians, they will be funding people who are friends of Epstein and want to hide his client list. Make them toxic to donate to.
All if favor of releasing the list of people who opposed releasing the list say aye.
Aye!
Republicans are worse than the Catholic Church.
They know that Trump will be ruined if the files are released.
I doubt rhwy care about Trump. Just their donors that are on the list.
that is what they are protecting, megadonors probably harlan crow, thiel, murdochs, rockafellers, any of the donors you can think of that donated to the gop(sacklers, and disney too),etc. thiel allegedly has his own island of fuck boys, and last year one of his boytoy was Defenestrated mysteriously(from “depression”).
and we know hollywod execs are full on perverts, and some of them got ousted.
Trump could rape and eat a baby in front of them and his supporters would still love him.
Pedophiles are probably rampant among the rich and powerful. At that level where all your needs are provided for you either become wise or you become depraved. It’s basically life 101. The richer you are the worst your chances are of turning out to be a decent human being.
Credit goes to Alzward
Considering how many average people are also child molesters, I’m not convinced there’s a correlation.
It’s more like the more decent a human being you are, the less your chances of becoming rich are. The exception is if you inherit wealth, but then you’re likely to have been raised by rich assholes.
What is the logic behind voting No? (Yes I understand any such logic would be twisted and flawed)
Other than “my name’s on the list so I would prefer the list stay secret”
Because Führer asked them to forget about those files
“we have more important things to discuss” and “why are we still talking about this and wasting time when there’s a secret laptop and emails” /S
I checked r/conservative out of curiosity
Apparently there were other things included in the vote trying to be smuggled in?
i saw one post, they are mad, but im hearing the Russian backed mods/bots are astroturfing and banning people for anything still promoting the files.
Daddy Trump said to stop asking about them. They must fulfill his marching orders. We wouldn’t want to contradict Dear Leader.
Democrats don’t have to block it if they know Republicans will. The votes are for show and they’re all in on it. Or at least a significant number of them are, either by direct involvement or complicity.
But Republicans DID block it, right? That’s the only part I heard.
yes, those are the fall guys. that’s in the interests of the capitalists, that you only hear that part, friend. the red vs blue culture war is theater.
don’t get me wrong: if you or me wanted to run for house of reps and change things, we’d probably be signing up as blue. there’s probably some good-hearted farmers doing the same, signing up for red because those are their cultural “good guys”.
we’d all be naive and we’d all be drowned in the corruption, most likely.
yes, those are the fall guys. that’s in the interests of the capitalists, that you only hear that part, friend. the red vs blue culture war is theater.
Yes and no. There are legitimate, progressive leftists that don’t suckle on the billionaire teat and don’t serve capitalist interests on the blue team.
Also, not relevant. If you care about justice for those on Epstein’s client list then those who were willing to hide it need to be named and suffer consequences. Then you make it come up again and do the same thing regardless of whoever obstructs it again, red or blue. Do it until justice is served. Name and shame them afterwards, don’t let the world forget.
Okay, but the red guys did it, right? They could a made the blue guys do it, which would’ve pushed the feudalistic billionaire breakdown of America easier for them, but… They didn’t? Why not?
Probably would have been team blue if Biden was in office, but it doesn’t make sense for the republicans to defy their president
Why doesn’t it make sense? All I see is Republicans blocked it, and Democrats didn’t. Why wouldn’t they make the Democrats look bad?
You’re assuming corporate dem leadership is different than corporate republican leadership. More than anything, they care about power and money….
Okay, I still don’t understand anything other than the Republicans voted to protect child sex predators, and the Democrats didn’t.
Seriously. If the Rs played chicken and voted yes (at least most of em), the dems would be forced to blink and that would be a slam dunk and the republican party wouldn’t have to 180 so hard on epstein right now.
So a bunch of pedos and people who are okay with pedos.
Dems need to run with this. Point it out to the MAGAt moron brigade and keep the fire lit. Those twits have the attention span of a gnat but maybe if you keep jingling the keys long enough, something might seep in…?
Dems need to run with this.
Lol just wait until dinos like Fetterman castigate their fellow democrats for daring to emphasize it. During the election Fetterman ripped on democrats for harping on trump’s felony convictions, saying we were supposed to be the party of “forgiveness and redemption”. Imagine supporting “forgiveness and redemption” for people involved in child sex slavery.
Trump himself tweeted (or “truthed” which is more 1984 than anything ive heard recently) that Obama and Clinton made the list up to attack him. This guy just admitted to being on the list.
its all of them, this is just a list of all the R’s in congress.
Lol nice, thanks for saving me the click. We live in clownland Pedophile Edition
The motion was defeated 5 to 7. One Republican member, Ralph Norman, voted yes alongside Democrats.
It’s the House Rules Committee, and actually one Republican voted in favor.
Land of the free and home of the brave everyone.
Free pedophiles, and brave Republicans defending them, USA USA USA!
Why did 2 democrats not vote? Are they dead?
Idk on this but a few dems have died in office this year
You mean murdered?
No like died from old age
Who?
And forgive my European ignorance, but don’t they have alternates in such cases?
Otherwise it would be really easy to replace the entire government using only a Smith and Wesson or a combine harvester or similar or all together.
https://clerk.house.gov/Members/ViewVacancies
Gerald Connolly and Raúl M. Grijalva, apparently. Both were Democrats. No, there are no alternates. Each State determines its own process for filling vacancies: often the governor appoints someone but special elections are also common.
Republicans would rather protect rich people who rape kids than working people. The GOP is beyond redemption and there is no sanity or humanity left in it. Everyone needs to stop acting like there is any way back to normalcy that includes them as part of it.
That fuckin’ Epstein ruined “Welcome Back Kotter” for me.
I don’t get it, how so?
(Thanks for putting the theme song in my head, what a lovely song and what a good show).
Best I can guess? Jeffrey Epstein was once a young, under-qualified, math teacher in New York?
