Ted Cruz says ‘Let’s must stop attacking pedophiles’ in embarrassing gaffe during rant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TulTH6psCsw
What kind of clown show of a government do we have? Like, you read things like this and it’s just unbelievable. I wish I could authorize my own pay raises, go on hiatus for most of the year, refuse to do my job the rest of the time etc.
The district north of me still doesn't have a congressional rep, he died in March and the GOP governor refused to hold another election until the general in November. So no representation for ~800,000 people until January.
The move deprives a petition of the last signature it needs to force a vote on a bill to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein
seemingly minor procedural thing, but important - they're not just delaying release of the Epstein files, they're delaying a roll-call vote on releasing the Epstein files
the vote would simply force them to give a concrete, recorded, yes-or-no answer to "should the Epstein files be released?"
and Republicans are terrified of that, because they've painted themselves into a corner where "yes" will piss off Trump (as well as any other oligarchs listed in the files) and "no" will piss off their base, especially the QAnon freaks who actually believed the Republican propaganda about "fighting pedophiles"
tapping the sign: We Need to Talk About Pedocon Theory - The connection between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics (content warning: jumpscare of Trump's mugshot as soon as you load the page)
Come on guys as Ted Cruz says we need to come together and stop attacking pedophiles!!!
I remember when the pro-authoritarian legislators in HK refused to swear in and then later had a pro-CCP judge reject, a bunch of pro-democracy legislators, too.
It's funny how Republicans seem to emulate so closely the people they claim to revile.
