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.

    By establishment I think they mean old/non trump based Republicans, the ones who will probably still be there once the Trump dies and the cult implodes. While Trump is certainly the establishment more or less at this point there isn’t a much better term for that lot.

      Many of them retired because they didn’t have a backbone to stand up to Trump and were replaced. GOP currently is the party of Trump. He is the establishment right now.

      Yes, precisely. While he certainly has infiltrated a lot of the establishment, the true core that don’t rely on him are who I’m referring to.
