never forget that when mike gravel couldn't get a quorum in the senate to read the pentagon papers into the congressional record, he convened a session of the public works committee's subcommittee on buildings and grounds and did it that way

it just takes some courage and procedural creativity

I will be so disgusted if they cave and have nothing to show for it. That would be truly pathetic.

Appropriate exclamation, given the antisemitic nature of the claim.

Now, if that isn’t a basis for a new South Park character, I don’t know what is. 😂

Yes. He’s on the side of not releasing the files and shielding pedophiles from accountability. He said what he meant to say when he said stop attacking pedophiles. So, the statement was not a slip or a gaffe.

What “slip”? It is entirely possible he meant it. He has not retracted or corrected it.

What “gaffe”? He has not retracted or corrected it, has he? He has not asked for the release of the Epstein files. All signs point to “He said what he said.”

He has issued no correction that I have seen. What is the “gaffe”? What are you assuming he intended to say? Just because it’s outrageous and horrible doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t exactly what he meant to say.

Let them. They have shown they’ll do that anyway.

For 50 years, dominion theorists and Christian Nationalists have focused on children — raising them to be ‘warriors for God’ and to go into politics (Joseph’s Army), shaping schools — that is HOW WE GOT HERE.

It’s gonna be CK Kids vs iPad Kids unless we all start to care more about all kids.
