Johnson to shut down House until September to avoid Epstein vote.

Just posted in the NYT.

Now we know Trump is really shitting in his pants.

So corrupt.

There's also an article on Ghislaine meeting with (I think) the Justice Dept. that I posted in the Epstein Part 2 thread.

So what are they going to do for the next 6 weeks? We know Republicans are too cowardly to have town halls. I guess they'll just go on luxury vacations.

Why not? It’s not as if Congress actually does anything anymore, besides saying “Yes, Sir, Mr. President.”

What a coward

It will be a shitshow of distractions all summer, then. Great. Fat man fiddling while Rome burns.

“They caught President Obama absolutely cold,” Trump said, referring to the director of national intelligence’s report last week on the 2016 election. That report twisted the actions of the Obama administration and contradicted a lengthy study by the Senate Intelligence Committee that came to very different conclusions — and was signed by all Republican members of the committee, including Marco Rubio, now the secretary of state. “Obama’s been caught directly,” Trump said. “He’s guilty. This was treason.”

Trump accused Obama of “trying to lead a coup” with Hillary Clinton. In fact, the Obama administration never contended that the Russians had manipulated votes; instead, his administration, and the Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee, concluded that Russia mounted a major effort to influence voters.

But Trump is misstating both the events and the new report issued by Tulsi Gabbard, his director of national intelligence.

I predict Ghislaine will be dead very soon UNLESS she agrees to testify in a manner completely exonerating Trump.

by Anonymousreply 9July 22, 2025 5:42 PM

As soon as her feet hit the soil in "the free state of Florida," she should use her connections to leave the country -- and to some remote British protectorate where he'll never find her.

That's what I'd do.

Fuck Trump.

Ghislaine likes to do her own thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson was found raping underaged children as well.

The guy is a major creep.

What do you expect for a group of spineless cunts covering for the elites and their pedo ring?

Jizz-lane, you in danger gurl

I can't believe you're talking about this old story. What about Hillary's emails?

Moses Mikey seems to have facial paralysis from too much botox, same as that Fox cunt Harris Faulkner. It's very distracting watching him speak.

Congress having an August recess is normal.

by Anonymousreply 18July 22, 2025 8:57 PM

It's still July, idiot at R18.

by Anonymousreply 19July 22, 2025 8:59 PM

I didn't realize the House was in session to begin with. It's not like they do anything.

by Anonymousreply 20July 22, 2025 9:10 PM

There is the point that the dems had the Justice Department for four years and never released the info.

by Anonymousreply 21July 22, 2025 9:14 PM

Johnson is counting on the media's short attention span and is hoping they'll move on to other distractions during this long, long break.

And he's probably right. It's going to be up to the Democrats in Congress to keep this thing alive.

Come on Elmo…. If you’re gonna lie have records, dump them on the dark web already.

Won't the government shut down if they aren't there to pass appropriations bills? If it does shut down, that will not work to GQP's advantage.

by Anonymousreply 24July 22, 2025 10:10 PM

Appropriations bills? I thought the Big Beautiful Bill took care of all that.

The Trump Administration is the most stupid, amateur, evil, corrupt, lying, horrible, inept, ridiculous in American history. The cult is just as bad. Truth, integrity, intellectual curiosity, compassion, and and honor are unknown to them.

If I were younger and had no family obligations I'd leave this dumb fuck country.

by Anonymousreply 26July 22, 2025 10:57 PM

Interesting posting history, r21.

by Anonymousreply 27July 22, 2025 11:55 PM

R21 The point is that under the Biden administration, the DOJ and the Office of the Presidency operated independently, per the Constitution, and Biden didn't dictate what was or wasn't to be investigated (unlike the rapist and Bondikins).

Got a problem with that? Then point your finger at the useless Merrick Garland and no one else.

come on we all know he's as gay as a tree full of parrots. can't one of use take one for the team and hook up with him recording it secretly and end this hateful douchebags career?

Because there was an active case and release of the details would have undermined the prosecution (that would be the DOJ, R21... although I don't know how to say it in the original Russian) leading to either a mistrial or worse, a not guilty verdict because we all know that MAGA would have spun it like the tilt-a-whirl at the state fair (and now I know I've lost R21).

There was a time in our once-great nation that we followed the rule of law.

We are double doomed. They’re foothold has become an all encompassing take over.
