Thomas Massie: Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. Weve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months.
Ive got seven months left in Congress.

(14,219 posts)Once some Republican reps are safely past their primaries, Trump may do something even more outrageous than the latest outrage so that some may peel off just to save their electoral chances. I say "may" but I mean "will." If we can count on anything, it's that we haven't seen him hit bottom yet. He'll keep going lower.

(14,219 posts)They believe that as long as their side remains lock-step confident of victory, they will have it. It can seem to us like they must have a secret plan when actually they don't. But there will always be a few who lose faith as reality, the "writing on the wall," can only be ignored for so long.

(205 posts)When they have actually shown us, since Reagan, what the plan actually is & then go do it?
1) Privatize the entire American economy, institute neofeudalism, oligopoly, control prices - no "free markets" anymore
2) Shrink govt. so they can drown it in a bathtub
3)Strip women of all rights, privacy & autonomy & criminalize
4) Make Blacks 3/5th of a person again
5) Renew isolationism as our primary foreign policy position
6) Dehumanized all marginalized people, destroy people who reflect diversity, and/ or are transgender, intersex, non-binary
7) Give full rights to fetal cells
8) Kill science & reason
9) Install christian nationalism, 7 mountain dogma on all Americans
10) Wage a continous assault on what is left of the "blue states" & Democracy (rule by 'We the people')
11) Privatize & control armed forces (formerly the US military)
12) Make congress irrelevant
13) Rig the election system
14) Take over complete control of the money supply & banking
15) Keep Americans in chains through predatory debt
16) Replace labor (& income earned through labor) with AI & robots
17) Eventually will take guns away from subjects/serfs (formerly citizens).
18) Implement "survival of the fittest" & Eugenics.... "I don't care, do you?" following their "greed is good" 1987 rollout from Oliver Stone (misidentidied as politically on the left but was known to be a follower of fringe nut, Ayn Rand).
19) and more

I will keep my thoughts about what Doc follows up that comment with. Ringo got what was coming. (Hmm?)
Well done using that comparison to Donnie, from Massies in your face Response to the loud mouth.
Boobert could be next to join and he has jammed the knife in the back of others that have the same amount of time to act. Marge may have some voice to add to the growing number of Donnie victims. Even outside of Congress with a platform like Marge.
Flood the media none stop use Bannons technique, with Everything Epstein every day. Jar a cheese Berder packed clot loose. We all would like to take that walk over said plot of dirt.

AverageOldGuy
(4,175 posts)Has Massie seen Epstien files the contents of which have not been and likely never will be released to the public?
If so, will he say to himself "I'm free!!" -- and release those files or at least hint as to their contents?
Trump loves to visit "retribution" upon others but he never paid attention to the old Chinese proverb:
