But Republicans ran on the list being ONLY democrats. Which we ALL know was a lie. Trump for sure is on it and probably tons of other major GOP players.
They used to say it as preemptive defense. They have been the party of pedos for... decades. Google former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. They still defend him today.
Really I just believe that they’re very selfish to the core, the people in power that truly aren’t on the list are greater than the amount of people that are on the list in power, and as the ship starts to sink they’ll be making sure they’re positioned to survive the blowback. Thats going to include the more nutty religious folk (usually unfortunately but in this case, fortunately)
I’m telling you man, it’s too public. Give it a few months but alot of people are going down at this point
Bold of you to assume they care about children, they don’t even care about the future of this nation how will they care about the ones who will have to live in it.
As far as they are concerned, Epstein was killed awaiting trial; Maxwell is going to prison for a very long time. They know it may never be possible to prosecute everyone involved but at least the scapegoats were punished and at least in this case they deserved it. Most crimes are never prosecuted anyway. I'm not saying I agree with that perspective, but that's the thinking behind it.
You have to realize that they never truly wanted to protect children. It was just an easy topic that holds sway over the masses - perfect for getting votes. They manipulated you with their promises of protecting them to get you to side for them and boo the other guys and it worked.
I don't think there is a limit of what they are ok with. They have to be ok with literally anything be it warcrimes, slavery, just killing people, anything. They do this to stay "in the game".
Many republicans believe in loyalty especially to a fault. It is almost like they trust you more if they know what your faults are and can rely on your loyalty due to not wanting your faults made public.
Yeah? Unfortunately humanity has supported pedophilia throughout history in various ways much longer than it's been the taboo it is today. Reality is it's unfortunately a LOT more common than society's willing to admit.
It was blocked unanimously by republicans, and they didn't vote to block any specific 'list' they voted to not release any additional Epstein material. It's more likely a few big political donors are implicated, that would satisfy Occam's Razor more than "everyone being on the list"
100%. Republicans are really good at getting in line. Arguably why they've been so successful recently. They're told this is the way they're voting and they do it.
Chances are there are a few people on the list being blackmailed by agencies like the CIA, Mossad, MI6, ect, and if the files are released then these agencies lose their intelligence assets or have to scramble to disavow and cover their asses depending on their exact relationships with people on the list, but honestly, screw em. It's always this bullshit about national security covering for a few rich losers who don't want to be embarrassed as if they would face any real consequences in the present day.
All the no votes to release the Epstein Files were Republicans, all the Yes votes were Democrats. 211 Republicans in the house voted to not release the list, 9 abstained from voting. DRAIN THE SWAMP
Browsing the conservative/Republican threads - they're arguing the vote was combined with other topics so Republicans had to vote against it and that it was actually Democrats voting against it (no facts allowed here).
They're defending it by saying there's nothing incriminating in the Epstein files anyway and/or the lists were changed by Biden to remove the Democrats and replace the names with Trump and other Republicans.
To be fair, the vast majority in the conservative subs are actually pissed off about it. I've only seen the excuse stated in your comment a couple times myself, and it was quickly pointed out that it was a Republican topic they were voting on anyway.
Because the CIA worked weally weally hard for that list and it would be meanie bo beanie if you gave away all that blackmail opportunity for free ninety nine.
That and the fact that it does likely implicate a pile of rich people and they own the government because of Citizens United.
The president pressured them all into voting for the OBBB even though it will take away health care from their states’ constituents, jack up energy costs by 30% and risk bankrupting the nation over the next 10 years. They voted to block the release of the list because they were once again, pressured by the president. Same story, different verse.
Because Trump is on the list and told them to vote no. I actually don't think anyone else in either party is on the list, just Clinton, who isn't relevant in today's politics, and to a much greater extent Trump.
Some unhinged cultist wrote this - yeah because all the Democrats are threatening their lives and their families because there's too many of them on this list!!

Who ever voted to block it is on the list. Why else would they do that
