@RepThomasMassie
The government is shutdown, but the House refuses to go back in session.
Why are we in recess?
Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
@SpeakerJohnson doesn’t want that to be the news.
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
I will be glad when they Epstein’s files get released. I don’t think it will contain anything we already don’t know. I just want it over with, because it’s a distraction.
If the “Epstein files” contained anything harmful to Trump they would have been released by the Democrats years ago.
And we can take away this a-hole’s soapbox
So, these files have existed since Obama. Yet, we are to believe that Obama, who lead crossfire hurricane and Biden, who tried to jail Trump in four cases, would not release something that hurts Trump?
Yah, ok.
Exactly.
This isn’t about Trump.
It is about Americans learning
just how screwed up the two
parties are.
It is the fear of those in power of
what we will do to them!
and their power structures.
Yup the shut down was due to the Epstein files which our elites don’t want released. But they are fooling themselves thinking they can hide these files forever. This is a bipartisan issue now with majorities in both parties demanding the release.
He’s missing some very important facts. He knows them, but is taking advantage of people not being aware.
First off, the House already passed the budget. No one in the House was holding off the budget fight in order to hinder releasing the Epstein files.
That’s already done.
Second, it is the democrats in the Senate who will not vote for cloture, thus filibustering, in order to prevent a straight up or down vote on the budget. They hope people not being aware of what they’re doing, and will blame Trump for taking away poor people’s health care, for it. If they did just end their filibuster, the budget only has to have 51 votes in the Senate to pass.
53 Republicans Sinators already said they’d vote for it.
Imagine if he cared this much about actually important issues the way he cares about celebrity gossip.
it’s too bad the uniparty GOPes (and the President) are choosing to die on Epstein Donor hill. apparently the dems don’t care and are using the issue to bludgeon MAGA.
this is an own goal at this point. just release the damn files DOJ and FBI, all of them. no more excuses! and besides, those rape victims deserve their day in court.
It’s a distraction, yes.
It will distract all of us from the shutdown.
The media, hungry for an angle, will try to find the intersection of child sex abuse and the shutdown... like if we spend more money on Medicaid and ACA we can pay grifters to pretend to be concerned about child abuse.
Well good. STAY IN RECESS if that is your plan.
The House is most likely in recess so idiots like Massie can’t work to pass a financial resolution to undermine the CLEAN RESOLUTION the House has already passed.
Right now all the pressure is on the Senate Democrats.
Idiots like Massie will change the subject, and undermine the negotiating position !
Is he talking about passing single issue financial bills? NOPE.
He is distracting on to Epstien.
What an unserious clown !!!
🥱
I honestly don’t understand why you keep posting that sentence.
SO WHAT??????????????
Assume it contains nothing about TRUMP. Why not release what is in the Treasury Files?
Why do you oppose revealing the truth and continue to frame it around Trump???
The Treasury Files hold the key.
I suspect the reason Massie revealed Jes Staley is because his name has already been associated with regulatory action.
there is no doubt in my mind that Epstein was involved with money laundering, intelligence activities, human trafficking , and a boat load of other crimes.
I honestly don't understand why you allow yourself be distracted by meaningless TDS drivel.
It is mindboggling how many posters keep shouting BUT TRUMP while refusing to understand what was involved with Epstein. Trump is nothing in this....except how he is covering it up for donors, or intelligence, or blackmail or whatever is causing it.
What is interesting is the alleged comment by Trump saying Palm Beach was a different time back in those days.
That sentence is true. But it also hides the underbelly of how bad it was. Same with Weinstein.
Trump knew Jeffrey “liked them young”
>> there is no doubt in my mind
Hahaha! I know the type because I R one! “Often wrong, NEVER in doubt.”
You too, eh? 🤣
What problem do you have with an investigation into the Treasury files including Epstein and Leon Black and the bankers. Answer the question instead of trying to say BUT TRUMP..
Are you claiming that banks shouldn’t be held accountable for FINCEN violations or is BUT TRUMP all you say?
