I can’t stand MTG, but I’m totally here for civil war in the Republican Party.

Marj can try, but she’s still an utter POS who helped plot to overthrow the government on Jan 6 and called for Nancy Pelosi to be executed.
Don't forget her space lasers.

Is anyone on her side in this battle, or is she pretty much alone?

I think Lauren Boebert is also pushing for the Epstein files to be released, so at least on that front, they're aligned.

Didn’t they have the votes to release them next week? And that is why Trump pushed for a new investigation into them

MTG is the platonic ideal of what Dunning & Kruger were talking about, she floats through the world looking for any tiny piece of information she didn't know that would contradict what others would expect, all in service of feeling she has a superior intellect. As soon a she hears something she perceives counter intuitive she runs up and down yelling about how everyone else is an idiot for not knowing it.

It's not all that surprising to find out that she thinks it counterintuitive that the republicans were the ones at the head of a global child rape ring. And it's not all that surprising she would latch onto it and start a fight as soon as it became so obvious even she had to see it. Doesn't mean she's reformed, it doesn't mean she's getting any smarter, it just means her gut reaction is a little better calibrated on this one.

Not quite - there will be a vote to release in the House. If successful, then it goes to the Senate. If successful there, Trump can veto.

And if he does, which -- if it even gets to that point -- I'm sure he will, then another vote can be held in the House and the Senate to override that veto, requiring a two-thirds majority.

Every vote will be on-record, and anyone voting nay will have it permanently recorded that they voted *not* to release the evidence... against child molesters.

Trump going after Seth Meyers again, and it seems like that FCC stooge is backing him. Has there ever been a politician that's been this petty? I don't think even Stalin went after individuals like Trump has. It's baffling how a President has all the time in the world to continuously make dumb tweets all night long. Like a teenage girl...it's not wonder he targets that demographic.

Ehhh....I think Stalin still retains the crown on that score. I think the major difference is that Trump is being petty and immature whereas Stalin was a raving paranoid delusional maniac.

Ehhh...I guess 'raving paranoid delusional maniac' would apply to Trump as well, he just doesn't have the luxury of having convenient places like Siberia to off-load his undesirables.

Funny thing, the show he said he watched was a repeat.

President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release files involving the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal.


“We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on social media shortly after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.

OK, I guess they finally came up with a story?

That story being he’s been redacted entirely or the files have been doctored. Or, they will open a new investigation and they can’t be released anyway. Which he said was happening the other day.

I think he has probably just come to terms with the likelihood that the House will vote to release them and wants to appear like he is for it. I am sure he will still be hoping the Senate will stop is, and then he'll veto if he needs to.

Us designating Venezuelan leadership as a foreign terrorist organization- freeing him up to take action, surprising lol.

This whole terrorist designation seems to be the new cheat code for trump to just go to war when he wants and the beholden republicans will just smile and nod and back it.

It's not like they'll tell us anything we didn't already know, he'll just continue with saying that it's fake and a left wing hoax, and nothing will change other than the headlines.

We’ve seen everything except graphic video evidence… he did it. He did it a lot. He was kind of a big deal in the circle of rich pedophiles. It hasn’t changed anything yet. A video wouldn’t either.

There’s no smoking gun. The whole file is on fire. Half the population of that #### hole place doesn’t care.
