What is the logic behind voting No? (Yes I understand any such logic would be twisted and flawed)
Other than “my name’s on the list so I would prefer the list stay secret”
“we have more important things to discuss” and “why are we still talking about this and wasting time when there’s a secret laptop and emails” /S
I checked r/conservative out of curiosity
Apparently there were other things included in the vote trying to be smuggled in?
i saw one post, they are mad, but im hearing the Russian backed mods/bots are astroturfing and banning people for anything still promoting the files.
Because Führer asked them to forget about those files
Daddy Trump said to stop asking about them. They must fulfill his marching orders. We wouldn’t want to contradict Dear Leader.
Or be primaried by him
Democrats don’t have to block it if they know Republicans will. The votes are for show and they’re all in on it. Or at least a significant number of them are, either by direct involvement or complicity.
But Republicans DID block it, right? That’s the only part I heard.
As far as I could tell only 12 people could vote on whatever this was, and 8 of them are republicans.
Hell, one of them even voted for it. I assume the one in the shakiest seat.
yes, those are the fall guys. that’s in the interests of the capitalists, that you only hear that part, friend. the red vs blue culture war is theater.
don’t get me wrong: if you or me wanted to run for house of reps and change things, we’d probably be signing up as blue. there’s probably some good-hearted farmers doing the same, signing up for red because those are their cultural “good guys”.
we’d all be naive and we’d all be drowned in the corruption, most likely.
yes, those are the fall guys. that’s in the interests of the capitalists, that you only hear that part, friend. the red vs blue culture war is theater.
Yes and no. There are legitimate, progressive leftists that don’t suckle on the billionaire teat and don’t serve capitalist interests on the blue team.
Also, not relevant. If you care about justice for those on Epstein’s client list then those who were willing to hide it need to be named and suffer consequences. Then you make it come up again and do the same thing regardless of whoever obstructs it again, red or blue. Do it until justice is served. Name and shame them afterwards, don’t let the world forget.
Let’s hope there are consequences. I can get behind that. I dunno what will sway the power anymore. I don’t actually care about what happens with this in congress right now, I’m just trying to end the war between my neighbors and me, and survive. This seems like a golden opportunity to unite with the people swindled by Fox.
Okay, but the red guys did it, right? They could a made the blue guys do it, which would’ve pushed the feudalistic billionaire breakdown of America easier for them, but… They didn’t? Why not?
Probably would have been team blue if Biden was in office, but it doesn’t make sense for the republicans to defy their president
Why doesn’t it make sense? All I see is Republicans blocked it, and Democrats didn’t. Why wouldn’t they make the Democrats look bad?
You’re assuming corporate dem leadership is different than corporate republican leadership. More than anything, they care about power and money….
Okay, I still don’t understand anything other than the Republicans voted to protect child sex predators, and the Democrats didn’t.
Seriously. If the Rs played chicken and voted yes (at least most of em), the dems would be forced to blink and that would be a slam dunk and the republican party wouldn’t have to 180 so hard on epstein right now.
Republicans are worse than the Catholic Church.
That fuckin’ Epstein ruined “Welcome Back Kotter” for me.
I don’t get it, how so?
(Thanks for putting the theme song in my head, what a lovely song and what a good show).
Best I can guess? Jeffrey Epstein was once a young, under-qualified, math teacher in New York?
Every time I watch old WBC episodes and I hear Kotter, Horseshack, Barbarino, and Washington mention their buddies name all I can think of is that pedophile pimp Epstein! Grrr. (Just a really bad and absurd joke in truth).
Trump raped kids.
What he did with usaid also has killed kids.
THIS. 14 million ppl are going to die now bc of trump. How many did ghengis khan kill?
More like ‘Full List of Pedophiles who blocked…’
Republicans would rather protect rich people who rape kids than working people. The GOP is beyond redemption and there is no sanity or humanity left in it. Everyone needs to stop acting like there is any way back to normalcy that includes them as part of it.
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.
https://clerk.house.gov/Members/ViewVacancies
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.
Land of the free and home of the brave everyone.
Free pedophiles, and brave Republicans defending them, USA USA USA!
They know that Trump will be ruined if the files are released.
I doubt rhwy care about Trump. Just their donors that are on the list.
Trump could rape and eat a baby in front of them and his supporters would still love him.
that is what they are protecting, megadonors probably harlan crow, thiel, murdochs, rockafellers, any of the donors you can think of that donated to the gop(sacklers, and disney too),etc. thiel allegedly has his own island of fuck boys, and last year one of his boytoy was Defenestrated mysteriously(from “depression”).
and we know hollywod execs are full on perverts, and some of them got ousted.
Here’s the list
Republicans Representatives Who Blocked Epstein Files Vote
- Charwoman Virginia Foxx — North Carolina 5th
- Michelle Fischbach — Minnesota 7th
- Erin Houchin — Indiana 9th
- Nick Langworthy — New York 23rd
- Austin Scott — Georgia 8th
- Morgan Griffith — Virginia 9th
- Brian Jack — Georgia 3rd
Those Who Voted for Release Vote
- Jim McGovern (D-Mass.)
- Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Penn.)
- Joe Neguse (D-Colo.)
- Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-N.M.)
- Ralph Norman (R-S.C)
So we can all assume that every single person that voted against it was actually a client, right? Do their voters know they’re voting for Epstein’s clients?
Can’t assume that because anybody can just pay to make politicians vote how they want
I’m going to assume that anyone voting to hide a list of pedos is a pedo. They can feel free to prove otherwise.
Yep, prove me wrong at this point. Not sure why anyone is making excuses for them.
I think they DO.
They might just be friends with someone on the list, or directly related to them.
I notice a number of women are on that list. If they were involved in grooming and raping underage girls, there’s a bigger story here.
Most likely it’s just someone they know who’s on the list, or they haven’t even seen the list but someone told them to vote that way so they did.
That was his address book, we haven’t seen the client list. So you were seeing woman who were trafficked and people who did cleaning, supplied flowers, things like that. I’m positive some of them are also pedos though, look at ghislaine, she took part.
Here’s a real conspiracy though, what if he isn’t dead? He had so many secrets and blackmail, I could see the elites spiriting him away to somewhere. There was no kill switch that went off that I’m aware of.
more likely they protecting MAJOR DONORS to the gop.
I think the whole reason this is even in the press right now is to remind the GOP’s major backers that they need to keep backing the GOP or face personal destruction because of their involvement in this shit. The GOP is making it clear that only they will fight to keep this hidden.
Why is that more likely? Don’t give them excuses, they need to prove they’re not on the list.
Should that be chairwoman? Pretty sure you don’t mean she was a cleaning lady.
its virginia fox, shes looks as old as mitch mcconnel, probably using the same necromancer to siphon souls to keep her alive.
Great, this is almost as good as the real list
Good. name and shame them!
Good, I need my own list now. For reasons not involving persecution of these individuals.
Been waiting ten years for these chucklefucks to face the consequences of their backing Trump’s blatant fascism. Hasn’t happened yet. I’ll believe it when I see it.
its all of them, this is just a list of all the R’s in congress.
Lol nice, thanks for saving me the click. We live in clownland Pedophile Edition
The motion was defeated 5 to 7. One Republican member, Ralph Norman, voted yes alongside Democrats.
It’s the House Rules Committee, and actually one Republican voted in favor.
