So, after all the Epstein bill paranoia, I actually looked into it.
The reason they’re freaking out, that they fought so hard against it, is they really CAN’T mess with it.
Too many copies out there, too many witnesses.
And the bill prevents investigation excuses.
“NARROW in scope."

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Theresa May was a flawed Prime Minister but she had the skill set to lead the UK through Covid. We needed a dutiful plodder.
Johnson, in contrast, was dangerously incompetent and thousands paid the ultimate price.
Being a bit of a laugh is not a criterion for leadership.

A female reporter asks Trump about Epstein. He says, “Quiet, piggy.”
When Khashoggi’s murder is brought up in his meeting with the Saudi Prince who had him killed (according to the CIA), Trump says, “Things happen.”
You have a monster at the helm, America. You are in terrible danger.
