You know why #Trump is ok with the House passing the #Epstein files?
Because if the Senate somehow ends up passing it, he can veto it.

The House's expected approval Tuesday on the release of the Epstein files isn't the final say in the matter. Here's what else would need to happen.

When #Epstein calls you ("dangerous" and that he didn’t have "one decent cell in his body."), than you’re dangerous and an asshole. This is from the emails that the #republicans released.

Maybe instead of putting your finger on the scale in favor of one group or another, politicians should help with making the housing supply bigger, by reducing red tape to build. Supply and demand is what moves markets.

#FIFA is nothing more than the mob trying to skim money of the top.
It’s corrupt from the top to the bottom,
FIFA is selling parking spots near 2026 World Cup stadiums for between $75 & $175 per spot & per gameday.

A 2026 parking pass alone, at $75 in the group stage, costs more than a Category 3 ticket to any group match at the 2022 World Cup, which was $69.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

I know this is an obvious and old point, but it still shocks me how quickly the culture of the GOP has come to defined by the absurd personality type of the "toad-licking, ass kissing alpha." Amazing that they've built an audience that finds such deportment appealing, rather than disqualifying.

Too bad for #Trump he can pardon away state charges only federal. So in general he can go fuck himself.

National Democrats were facing the
trolley car problem. They had to decide between people losing their health coverage and the rest of the country being screwed by the #government #shutdown. The moderate republicans chose the country, which in a long run was the correct choice.
