Oh they will, no doubt. “Trump said” and “people are saying” go so well together.

Just some quotes from trump folks yesterday...

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "I'm working every day on using AI to figure out how to cure cancer or launch fusion energy or understand dark matter. Our Defense Department is trying to figure out how to keep America safe. God bless the First Lady. She of course is wiser than all of us."

Rep. Andy Ogles: "The president is a true leader ... I think he should be eligible for a third term."

FOX: Are you for any green energy personally?
ZELDIN: Uh, well, I am for whatever President Trump is advocating for.

Lol, wow. I guess these people aren't even allowed to have personal opinions or thoughts? Just whatever Trump tells them to say I guess. What a bunch of spineless turds.

Realistically he will be lucky to survive the current term. He's constantly ####ting in his depends, constantly falling asleep in meetings, falling down and bruising himself, barely cognitive, etc. He's declining rapidly before our eyes.

Worst named bill since the Inflation Reduction Act.

If people weren't stupid governments wouldn't keep trying to fool them with this nonsense.

Massie and Green are generally total clowns but have seemed to be consistent about the whole Epstein mess

Thomas Massie: "The survivors said that they had decided to compile their own [Epstein] list. But the reality is, if they try to release that list, they're going to be sued into homelessness... what my colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene volunteered to do, and I've volunteered to do as well, is to read that list on the floor of the House of Representatives, because our founders put into the Constitution Speech or Debate Immunity, which says that we can't be prosecuted for what we say on the floor of the House."

You get one guess who reacted poorly to this idea?

I wouldn’t trust either Massie or Greene. If they read the list it will be guaranteed one sided.

A good thread on MTG's motivations:

https://bsky.app/profile/ericmgarcia.../3lxxycxw7lc2y

Basically, she's a true MAGA and has become disillusioned by Trump because she's into Trumpism, not just blind fealty to Trump himself as god-king.

If they're committing to read a list prepared by the victim group and they omit names, the victim group will presumably just tell everyone that that's what happened. That being said I would be surprised if they followed through on that if DJT is one of the names.

Greene, maybe, but even if I don't necessarily agree with Massie on many issues, he genuinely comes across as a real one. Which is I guess a low bar since not being a crisis actor is all it takes for sincerity from a GOP member, but I don't think he'd go out there and be pro-Trump on this one. Trump hates him.

Yeah I don’t buy it. She’s spent a sht ton of time running around the country on the tax payers’ dime and grifting off merch and podcasts. I don’t trust her motives and she’s the last person I’d let read the list.

There are GOPers who literally eat Trump's nuggets on TV for the clout. Greene is bad, but there are many who are far worse.

Those roundtable cabinet meetings where the highest officials in the land are trying to outdo each other complimenting him is just sickening.

Can you imagine if things like congressional hearings had any relevance to the real world anymore? Simply seeing snippets online from this RFK jr gong show is filling me with secondhand embarrassment.

I'm hoping Biden outlives Trump, and then instead of attending his funeral, he goes golfing.

Go golfing, show up late in golf clothes carrying a club and get up and do a Bob Hope routine instead of a eulogy.
