So much political distraction to hide that trump is a rapist.

When you had a bunch of cultists come out and say that it’s ok to rape children if Trump does it they realized he’s bulletproof and there is no danger from the files. As soon as they had confirmation that there is no line their supporters won’t cross to suck off Trump they had nothing to fear.
They don’t care about poll numbers or elections; they have no plan to hold elections ever again. The only fear is if their cult turns on them because they need the Red Hats to act as foot soldiers for the fascist takeover.

If there’s one thing this period in American history has taught me, it’s to be incredibly disappointed to find that headlines are oftentimes actually metaphorical.

Wouldn’t it be something if the whole idea of them being fully on board with releasing this was because they were sure it’d stall in the senate or have back and forth until it ended up stuck in bill limbo, and they know it has compromising info but they were so so very sure they were never going to make it and here they are, speed run through now headed to the desk of one unqualified idiot to sign because they are now veto proof. Now Johnson is sweating bullets because their argument that Trump is innocent is going to collapse

Here’s the problem:
The Epstein Files bill grants Attorney General Pam Bondi the authority to “withhold or redact” any material that could endanger “national security” or “jeopardize an active federal investigation.”

I have a conspiracy theory. They were originally going to vote around Dec 1, but Mike Johnson moved it up. Why? Well, Thanksgiving is next week.
“Pocket vetoes occur when the President receives a bill but is unable to reject and return the bill to an adjourned Congress within the 10-day period. The bill, though lacking a signature and formal objections, does not become law. **Pocket vetoes are not subject to the congressional veto override process.**” – [https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/RS22188](https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/RS22188)
If congress adjourns before the 10 days is up (they will, because of Thanksgiving), it will be vetoed and they will have to start the process over again.
It appears Reagan used the pocket veto 39 times… the Heritage Foundation is quite familiar with the process.

How is the major headline right now not, why did Republicans suddenly reverse course. There is going to be some massive manipulation of the files and that’s why they were given the green light to vote. This is going to be another disaster and trumps just gunna skate right on by.

I still feel there’s some fuckery going on. Everything went so smoothly through the House and, especially, the Senate.

How much editing is taking place on the files before they are released? Why aren’t ppl more pissed that the Administration lied about there being an Epstein list? None of this shit makes sense

How has it blown up in his face? If they all voted for it, it’s because they know it’s a sham.

The only thing I know for sure is Mike Johnson is a gay man and somebody somewhere had blackmail.

So what excuse is Trump going to use not to sign this thing now that it’s through the senate.

The files will be covered in redactions so we’ll not see who the abusers are, but will have to depend on investigative journalists to try and figure it out… or Trump’s personal law firm (DOJ) will say there’s too many to release at once, dragging it out?!

This is a trap. Everyone voted for it? MGT leading the charge? This is going to be missing all Republicans and the arrests will start. This is basically what QAnon predicted

The GOP hasn’t played all their cards. I hate all these bastards but they are going to be laughing in a few days at democrats.

My thinking is even if they released 100% of the files ain’t no one going to get shit for time. The chain of custody for all the evidence is going to be so absolutely fucked it’ll be the biggest defense of just trying to prove that its legit and not tampered with. “There are files.”, “There are no files.” “They are on my desk.”, “1000 FBI agents are looking at them (and maybe or maybe not redacting someone’s name)”, “What files are you talking about?”, etc. Its going to be an absolute shit show.
