    What a clown. And what a clown show we are. Guess they have no other work to do for the next 45 days. Hope he’s suspending their pay as well.

    They did their tax cuts for their rich donors, so its not like they have anything else to work on for the next 3 years. This will certainly contain the conspiracy theories!

    Ordinarily I prefer congress to be in recess(they can’t screw much up out of Washington) but how can this be anything but ant attempt to protect the child molester in chief.

    These are largely the same people who first voted not to impeach for, and now lie about, a criminal attempt to overturn an election. So this is obviously no surprise.

    They are enablers of criminality. Does that make them criminals too?

    There ARE trump supporters who are ready to walk away from this shitshow. Why is that we don't have a single one on this board??

    The Epstein files are coming out one way or another. Might as well be because of Republican initiative and not in spite of Republican obstructionism. Just my advice that no one asked for.

    It's not the crime, it's the cover-up that'll get you. In this case, though, that might not apply.

    Nothing will get them. Criminals are running our government.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to illegally overturn an election.

    Wait, sorry. I meant; I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to illegally overturn an election again.

    Yeah right. Like after talking to Ghislaine, bondi will announce trump & maga mega donors were also involved with Epstein’s sex trafficking.

    Maybe get Ghislaine to mention a few libs and political enemies (RINOs) in exchange for a commuted sentence.

    Their credibility on the matter is permanently shot by their extremely bizarre behavior and comments recently. Only the most die-hard Trump supporters will believe whatever comes from the DOJ sham investigation while the rest of the country, including a good percentage of Trump voters, will see through the charade.

    Trump is 100% in the files and if they’re released they’ll either be redacted without his name included in them or they’ll be altered in some way to include a bunch of his political enemies instead. Regardless, nothing he does is going to cost him the support of his most ardent supporters who will never admit they were wrong and that the left was correct the entire time.

    Normally they would be voting this week on some procedural items but they can't because of a threat of a vote on the Epstein files

    Yes, so they’re leaving a week earlier than normal. OP makes it sound like all of a sudden they’re taking 5 weeks off.

    You know it.

    What Johnson might do is legal... Was this guy, that you all voted for, doing something legal here?
