Well, if this Epstein business explodes in a nuclear fashion, which

it should have years and years ago, then maybe reopening the Federal Government was a calculated move. Then again……we have made a lot of assumptions which proved to be erroneous over the years/ millennia.

Even with the new rep, though, I bet they find a way to keep it under wraps. I think Epstein will blow up, but the information will not come from Congress.

Threats of death to em all. And they all know it will happen under his Cult, they will cave.
He will Walk and continue accusing left of child rape and trafficking under Pizza shops. And MAGA’s will show up to kill the pizza shop workers. Blessed by Gawd.

A never-ending shut down plus Trump’s psychotic threats will not stop the entire Epstein files and Trump’s deviancy from coming into the light…

Stubborn resistance to the release seems to hurt only the GOP, both short- and long-term. His only responses are tantrums, tantrums and more tantrums, and fewer people every day are perceiving that character flaw as strength.

Every day since the escalator trip that this will be the one, this will end him.
Now my fingers are so crooked, playing guitar hurts. And my Hope has crashed and burned. How many cave in’s and let downs can a souls survive.
We let the selling of the country rot, spread into the bone marrow of our nation, and it has attached itself to every blood cell, even slipped through every cell membrane and is attacking every cell organelle until the nation rots from the inside out.
I wanna hope but damn, I am sick of losing. And I have been a 50+ year Cowboy fan. (Jumping off that damn ledge finally )
Maybe take my jinx of bringing lose to any team I support, And jump on the MAGA team, and crash it all down. Take one for the Good Americans, especially my Vet brothers and sisters,
Bleak fucking days behind us, here now and for any time ahead.

We all need a touch of hope from our team to get back up and fight. I will cling to the fragments of floatation devises and try to have a positive moment whenever I get the chance, to not let the sinking ship suck us all down. Threat threat was always on my mind when at sea on The destroyer I served on.
No matter how well you swim, that sucking of the shit going under will pull you to the bottom.
After The Election Tsunami high, then the knives into our spines from our own, that brought me to a new low. Now seeing Moses et all laughing and denying a smudge of justice, and wiping their asses with any promise of anything, in the DEAL, the nightmare will get worse.

The DOJ (Defenders of Jeffrey) had nothing to do with the Andrew formerly known as Prince's downfall.

Some graphics and background on the Epstein Shutdown.

Lots there, and it's old data.There are already two books out by former victims, and people are opening investigations into the clandestine money transactions and banks guilty as sin in the trafficking, money laundering and blackmail business.

LOTS THERE

The magnitude of the scandal?

This.


There will be more! Everyone loves sleaze.

Why, I could point out novels, operas, and history.

Take the Roman Empire, please!



Or sports betting. (allegations)

How far do you think it will go in the Senate? Will Grump let it pass or veto it?

Not very likely to succeed IMO.

Is coming from the JE estate which only redacts the victims, it appears. This should be compared to any redacted version we get from the doj.

There are others in our government who are also perps in this so they feel the need to protect themselves. Wouldn't be surprised to find unexpected names of now ancient members in there, members who have hung to their seats to run the protection racket.
