Of course there is! Haven’t you been listening to Trump?!?
The Epstein files are on Pam Bondi's desk right now but also they do not exist but also they do exist because they were written by Obama and Hillary when Epstein killed himself in 2019 when Trump was president.
In other news, we've always been at war with Eastasia.
I'm thankful the chocolate ration has been raised to 20 grams a week
Schrödinger's File.
The files exist in a range of potential states, in what is called a "superposition" and can essentially be thought of as all of them at once, although weighted to acknowledge that some states are more likely than others.
The files actually don't have any pages until an observation is made.
Probably was. If his name was on it, it was destroyed to the best of his ability in 2019. He just gets worried that he missed something.
If nothing else, it'll force old democrats who'd rather be Republicans to choose between their precious donors and the people they're supposed to serve
Is this from a stand up routine? If so, please share lol
They're going to say it's a "distraction" and vote against it. As if forcing the FBI to do something other than snatch brown people off the street is bad.
That won't be a very hard choice for them, lol.
That hasn’t stopped them before.
Ah, Mondays.
Why would the Democrats vote this through in 2026. Epstein was murdered during Trump's first term, in 2019.
The Dems had a house majority from 2019-2023 and never released it.
From 2021-2023 they had the house, the Senate tiebreaker, and the presidency...
It's because bill clinton is also on the list.
Pretty sure Bill Gates and maybe Bezos are on there too. Not sure on Bezos, it's been a while. They're protecting the gravy train in any case.
All the Bill ionaires.
Pretty sure Oprah wasn't on the list.
Sadly, Johnson can and will squash this, but I applaud Ro Khanna for introducing it.
If only this were somehow privileged.
A privileged resolution is a type of resolution that deals with the internal operations, rules, or constitutional duties of the House. Under House Rule IX, these can be brought directly to the floor by any member, without needing the Speaker’s approval.
Types of Privileged Resolutions in the U.S. House:
- Impeachment of a president or other civil officer
- Censure or reprimand of a House member
- Contempt of Congress (for defying subpoenas, etc.)
- Expulsion of a member (requires two-thirds vote)
- Challenges to the seating or election of a member
- Changes to the House rules
- Questions of privilege (issues affecting the dignity or functioning of the House)
- Resolutions of inquiry (demanding information from the executive branch)
Maybe they can do a resolution of inquiry as a first step, demanding the executive branch provide the document to congress.
I mean, considering the point is to out those who who deny it. If Johnson squashes it, mission accomplished, no? Easy target on your back for not doing something that would be morally right. I wouldn't want to be the guy that is known to be responsible for that when there are lots of crazy and pissed people out there.
Stay away from the windows, Ro.
"Oh shoot, when the DOGEies were here they must have deleted it all. No biggie though, there was nothing interesting in it at all...."
*whistles*
if he can't wake up Biden or Kamala for a vote last year, surely he can force congress in doing something
seems like kayfabe
What are the means by which the regime's dictator would be removed should he be found to have done what we all know he did? None? We're still fucked and we still need to [scene missing] because the regime has absolute power over the government of the colonies.
That’s cute. He thinks the files have not been destroyed.
Forcing a vote is good for optics regardless
This is an obvious misinformation dodge. A classic propaganda technique. You are either a stooge of the state or a useful idiot. If you resent both of those labels, please do not reinforce this propaganda spin any further.
If there is such a compromising "list" it would have been made disappear long ago so I would not even demand "the list". Now, there should be a report if what was confiscated from Epstein and some form of proof it has not been tampered with, that is what should be demanded.
I can accept nothing important existed in the first place but they can't just switch it up after hammering into peoples heads for so long
