the Ds voted for knowing full well it wasnt going to get released, and reps blocked it. the sudden change from both parties being silent on the issue, is extremely suspect. they made a deal behind the scenes knowing it will be blocked regardless as performative action.

Why did they do that? That is a really dumb strategy. The Republicans should've voted to release it so the Democrats would've had to vote to block it. Now the Republicans look like child molesters.
Here's the thing, they're actually fine with that
its all of them, this is just a list of all the R's in congress.
It's the House Rules Committee, and actually one Republican voted in favor.
Lol nice, thanks for saving me the click. We live in clownland Pedophile Edition
Good. name and shame them!
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...
All in favor of releasing the list of people who opposed releasing the list say aye.
Aye!
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.

Republicans are worse than the Catholic Church.
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.

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.

Here are the Epstein Files. For those of you who have seen this comment before, my apologies. I am trying to keep this information alive. Please feel free to share. Contact me if you want provenance.

https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/black-book-unredacted.pdf (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80
Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

—————————other Epstein Information
https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Johnson/_TrumpEpstein/_Calif/_Lawsuit.pdf here’s a court doc of Epstein and Trump raping a 13 yr old together.
Some people think this claim is a hoax. Here is Katies testimony on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnib-OORRRo
Went looking for Clinton, found John Cleese…also, Melania’s aol account.
Reminder that Virginia Giuffre (Virginia Roberts in this document) died earlier this year, in an apparent suicide.
Which is presumably convenient for somebody.
Eh, Prince Andrew isn't sweating it.
Oh damn lol
Hackers, do us a solid and release this shit. It's impossible that it isn't on one of these muppets' downloads folder or some shit considering the type of infosec these people follow.
There's no way Pam Bondi doesn't have a personal copy. It's the only thing that would keep her from being thrown under the bus right now.
Yeah, this seems like a prime target for Anonymous. Would be interesting to see big news outlets struggling between chasing a huge story and not wanting to cover something that outs their bosses (since there's probably lots of them on there too).
Here’s the list
