Seems Johnson knows this. Both him and Trump will keep this shutdown going to stop the forced release of these files it seems. Don’t know what kind of plan they’re cooking up though.
The files they don’t have that don’t exist that don’t incriminate anyone on a list that is not real that is a hoax is worse than they ever imagined.
This is just a distraction from the Epstein files!
I can’t wait for them to release the Epstein Files to distract us from millions of people starving to death!
And the crime wave that comes with hungry people
The Epstein files are the distraction. Republicans dismantle democracy while people fight over the files.
Imagine doing something so horrible that you underage prostitutes as a smokescreen.
underage prostitutes
*sex-trafficked children, FTFY
Trump biographer Michael Wolff told the Daily Beast that he had personally seen “about a dozen Polaroid snapshots” of Trump and Epstein, in which Trump was photographed with several topless young women on his lap. Wolff said Epstein pulled the photos out of a safe and spread them out “like a deck of cards” on his dining room table.
I bet that is the least compromising thing in those files.
This is guy who allegedly made prostitutes pee on the bed the Obamas slept in. It’s easier to guess what compromising thing he didn’t do.
I bet he even did a Rusty Venture
wait what, source please
There was a lot of gay boy sex on the island. This is the Republican nightmare that would rather have them shut down the country.
I mean, they’re hosting a historical shutdown specifically to prevent their release. We already knew they were damning.

This is fine 🔥🫠🔥
Even if the files contain irrefutable proof that Trump trafficked and raped children with Epstein, Johnson and the GOP know that his base will either dismiss it as ‘fake news’, AI or otherwise convince themselves that Trump raped kids because the Democrats used their mind control ray to set him up.
I suspect the real reason they want to keep it under wraps is to protect their billionaire donors who will be named in the files.
I figure a big reason they haven’t just released some doctored files clearing their names ages ago is the threat of mutually assured destruction from anyone else on the list
Maybe partly. These files scare Trump, too. That’s why he keeps lashing out, trying to deflect. He’s scared of losing respect… And remember, when he goes, MAGA will fall apart.
Covfefe’s law: Trump always turns out to be worse than anyone imagined, even when you take into account Covfefe’s law.
This is so true. Everytime I think he can’t get worse he gets worse.
‘Never challenge worse’ a wise therapist once told me.
Johnson is trying to think of a way to abandon Trump that will allow him to save face. He knows Trump isn’t going to make it through his 4 years, and that there will be a massive power vacuum in the pedo party once he’s gone. Unless of course Johnson is in those files too, which wouldn’t surprise me in the least. I’m that case he has no choice but to hold course
I honestly don’t think Mike Johnson was even in the political sphere when Epstein was still free, but who knows 🤷
Huh, he didn’t run for congress until 2016. And then he was Speaker by 2023. So they definitely have something on him
Well he has a bad habit of burying all the twinks he murders under his house.
Um. So they say. Many people. Are saying.
I mean, being a pedophile is “A OK” in US, it seems. There’s no revolt or actual actions being taken to show the rest of the world that, being a pedophile is BAD, and have CONSEQUENCES. Instead; they get voted in as president. I’m in a different country, but I want nothing to do with US, be it at shopping level or otherwise. I don’t care for pedophiles or those who enable them. PERIOD.
It’s not that being a pedo is OK, it’s that being a Republican is the magic “Get Out Of Jail Free” card. Republican pedos are protected at all costs, Republican racists are just “kids being kids”, Republican insurrectionists are “Political Prisoners”.
Yep. IOKIYAR is practically law.
That just sounds like “A OK” with extra steps!
In fact, not even with extra steps.
But only for Republicans, Democrats actually get to face consequences.
I’d like to know the name of a country which is free of corruption. Then I could go shopping there without any semblance of guilt, I guess.
What? Really, I don’t know what you mean? When did I say there are countries free of corruption? What a weird response to me saying the president of the US is a pedophile.
I don’t want to do business in countries with leaders who commit crimes. You’re too narrowly focused on pedophilia.
Well, you must know something I don’t know, namely, a country with no corruption. Please share.
I do not. As a result, I am going to have to live off the grid and farm for sustenance.
They just announced that they are thinking about cutting air traffic controllers in the run up to Thanksgiving.
I hope that when the dam breaks it washes away the entire GOP
This would make my year if this happens. I keep hoping this happens, but every time… it doesn’t. They just keep moving the bar on what is acceptable for a president to do. By trumps standards, Epstein himself could have been president.
Two things.
First, I know a lot of people here hate Schumer and the DNS, but they timed this shutdown to perfection. Just before the elections and Thanksgiving. Credit where credit is due.
Second, yeah, I’ve been waiting for the GOP to go to war with itself since 2015. I remember telling an activist freind of mine that Trump was going for the nomination and she told me that she didn’t want to ever have to think about Donald trump, ever.
Exactly. If they fold, it WILL get worse.
I hope that when the dam breaks it washes away the entire GOP
If you look at the Labour Party in the UK, they walked in with comically oversized majorities last year. Then they proceeded to govern exactly like their Conservative predecessors - with no few MPs gleaned from the ranks of fleeing conservatives - such that Reform UK is now ready to pick up the Prime Ministership in the next election cycle.
The problem with the modern American conservative movement is that its not confined to the GOP. It is a consequence of the donor base. And the donors continue to be enthusiastically bipartisan.
Mamdani has entered the chat…
No billionaires funding him…yet.
He’s had offers . . .
He’s an edge case. And - don’t get me wrong - if this is a self-reproducing model for future campaigns, awesome!
But Mamdani himself is exceptionally charismatic with good politics to back him up. I wouldn’t even say guys like him don’t exist, they just tend to prefer climbing the escalator of retail politics to the greased pole of democratic socialism.
One of the funny things about New York politics is that Mamdani’s predecessors called for similar things [Billionaire Bloomberg supported congestion pricing and tried to bring fresh produce to food deserts]
Hell, NYC’s most popular Mayor ran on a “Fusion Ticket” with the Communists. Socialists, and the Republicans.
I respect the grizzled cynicism of this take while at the same time hoping that this will be different.
We’ve definitely got cause for hope after this last election cycle.
But given the stubbornness of the Cuomo-crats, we continue to have some cause for alarm.
Well they’ll just cook those books.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES PEDONALD
I wouldn’t doubt it if he diddled little boys too. Or at least laughed when his close friends did. Disgusting fucking cancer…
We know he competed with Epstein to take a child’s virginity, how much worse can it get?
