    I call bullshit on 2/3 of Congress. I believe they’re not nearly as wealthy or powerful as the people being protected.

      Yeah… It really doesn’t have to be that dramatic. The GOP would be more than willing to bury any kind of evidence if it only endangered a couple of their mega donors.

      I mean I’m guessing that the people wealthy enough to partake in pedo island probably aren’t a fan of paying taxes.

        Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans will ever release the Epstein files. Yes, this is a case in which “both sides” applies. I don’t understand why we didn’t pressure Biden to release this shit before the election.

      I think what they don’t want to say: enough Republican politicians will be in the files to remove the Republicans from power.

      I think we should expel 2/3 of Congress based solely on if they take corporate/billionaire money or not. That number would probably be higher than 2/3, though.

      But also expelling violent criminals would be nice, even though likely all the violent criminals in Congress are also corrupt.

        Every House seat and 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for reelection next fall. The primaries are the only place you’ll find small donor-funded candidates.

      Yeah in fact a lot more than 1/3rd of Congress voted to release the files. 211 Republicans voted to shut down the release. Seems more like a simple majority of congress is negatively impacted by the pedophile ring being exposed.
