People should be pressuring their own local representatives to make sure they ARE voting to release the Epstein Files.

So far in the past 24 hours, Trump’s team has:

  • Threatened GOP members with Truth posts
  • Placed threatening stories with friendly media outlets
  • Called over a dozen House Republicans for secret meetings

I’m sure they will escalate this before any votes happen, but let’s make sure this passes.

    Yes. I really do think that. I agree with you on all of the power/political folks being in on the dangerous knowledge but it’s more than rumour now and it’s finally hitting the masses, and they are the true power. Also, his old mind/body cannot take much more of his angry outbursts and desperate deflections. I’m practical though, I hope, but I’m not holding my breath.

      I really hope youre right. The Trump is at this point a drag on the GOP and is costing them wins across the country. Any party with a spine (I know who we’re talking about but bear with me) should see how smart it would be to take him out

        At this point? Every election that he isn’t in has been massive losses for the GOP. Candidates that he backs tend to do horrible. MAGA fails when Trump isn’t on the ballot.

        It’s starting to sound like some republican senators are actually standing up to him at times. You can question their motivations but it’s something I guess. I hope the vote for the Epstein files makes it all the way to his desk and then he has no choice. Release them and have everyone read about how guilty he is, or not release them and have everyone know that he’s guilty and hiding his crimes.

      The masses have known for years at this point. I really don’t expect this to move the needle as much as we would hope it does. Nothing ever does for him.

      That’s wrong. The masses DO NOT have any power. The billionaires hold all the power. If they wanted him gone at any point, he would have been gone already. They want him where he’s at. He will stay there until he dies.
