Did they let the government shut down in order to NOT swear in the newly elected House member from Arizona.? Grijalva.. will be the 218th signature needed to force congress to release the Epstein files. But she has to be sworn in. Did they do that?

And Trump fired the messenger.. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

You're acting surprised.

Then Murkowski votes yes and pleads with the House to fix what she did. It's like the story of the scorpion and the wolf. They're politicians. It's their nature. They'll save their jobs first.

So did Massie's and he was always a no. He was ultimately a no as well. Johnson was holding them hostage and not gaveling out. I guess they gambled..wrongly, that there would still be 4 0r 5 no's at the final vote. Underestimating Trump's influence.

That no longer matters as we are no longer a majority rules nation. No longer a democracy.
