Someone got shown some pretty hideous polling numbers.

Some people are really foolish, and/or just don’t want to see what’s right in front of their eyes.
> Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) on Monday said she now understands “what the big deal is” after reviewing unredacted files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
>“I’ve not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue,” Lummis said in an interview with journalist Pablo Manríquez. “I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But nine-year-old victims … Wow.”
>“Well, initially, my reaction to all this was, ‘I don’t care. I don’t know what the big deal is.’ But now I see what the big deal is, and it was worth investigating,” she added. “And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong. So that’s really my only reaction.”

This person has poor character. Never mind that the women testified, never mind having empathy and believing what they said. I know, GOP, etc.

It’s hard to get people to admit something when their job requires that they not admit it.
Now that she’s retiring, the mask comes off.
Monsters, all of them.

This person should not represent ANYONE.
Also, what the fuck is that shirt?
Blackthorn79 on
Oh, okay. Since you realize now, I’m sure you’re still qualified to keep your job. What type of politician could bury their head so deep in the sand that they are just now grasping that this is an issue? There was a god damn vote to release the files, multiple discussions of how the administration is covering it up, and accusations of it being the motivation behind multiple other controversial decision, but now it’s something you’re taking seriously.

Because everything was so obvious from the start, its going to be difficult to separate those who knew and those who were intentionally ignorant to the facts so they didn’t have to admit they knew.
Neiter seems desirable from an elected official.
pinkhalcyon on
Wow… it only took seeing the files for them to understand? Imagine how many people just ignored the whole thing before.

It’s like everybody who reads the files gets the wide Kash Patel eyes.

“Trump, who was named in the files but not accused of wrongdoing…”
The fuck is this?

Now? Not 10 years ago when he was bragging about assaulting women and barging into underage girls dressing rooms? Now you care about women…gtfoh with that performative bs. They’re all pedo protectors and need to be swept out of office.

“I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it” is an insane defense for ignoring an international pedophile ring

My guess is if it were her 9 y/o daughter, she might have seen the light long ago.

You got to hand it to Massie, I don’t like his politics but he’s been pretty consistent on this issue and seems to be willing to burn down the house over it.

Apparently it’s only a problem for her now that it involves pre-pubescent children. Children past puberty were not a problem for her.

Either this is incredible negligence or crass politics at an insane level. Either way it should be disqualifying

There is nothing in the Epstein files that have been released so far that is worse for Trump than all of the things he’s already done or said (convicted of sexual assault, admitted to grabbing women by the pussy without asking etc) and he got elected after all that.
So anyone changing sides right now aren’t doing it because they’ve suddenly realised how disgusting he is.
zerovian on
“Willful ignorance”. That’s the phrase you want.
If you stick your head in the sand deep enough, you don’t have to do anything because “I didn’t know”…”I wasn’t paying attention”…” not my thing”…”I was focused on other things”.

She didn’t see what the big deal was until it involved 9-year-olds???? WHERE THE FUCK DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM!!!!

Mother of God. Who says shit like this? It’s the most prolific child sex traficker to ever fucking live, murdered in prison, a president who raped children with him, and you’re like “Damn I just realized, this is pretty shocking. I mean, shit, I thought it was just 14/15 year olds getting raped. 9 is too young”

Oh so 13 and 14 is fine but 9 is where they draw the line 🙄 I guess once they hit puberty anything is literally up for grabs.

Jesus. You weren’t concerned when it was 14 year old girls and billionaires. It took a 10 year old for it to bother you. Conservatives are monsters. I guess they believe if you’re old enough to have a period it’s less serious. Did they think those 14 year old girls wanted to be there.

“At first I didn’t care.”
That’s her original opinion on the Epstein files. Why does it take finding out about a 9-year old to care about human sex trafficking?

What an absolute dumb ass bitch. She previously didn’t care about sex trafficking. Vote her out.

So, she didn’t care if there were victims. She didn’t care if there were underage victims. But she did care if there was a victim who was nine. Someone should ask her exactly how old a victim needs to be before she begins to give a damn.

ICE is deeply unpopular. MAGA is deeply unpopular. They’re getting annihilated in any election they run.
Sounds like we’ll see a centrist switch here soon. Remember who they are. Name them. Shame them.
You have kess access to the files then them and yet you saw all along how bad they were.
