From Bill Clinton to feigning ignorance, Republicans would rather not talk about the birthday card
Republicans in the House of Representatives would rather not talk about the “bawdy” birthday note that Donald Trump supposedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday party.
The House Oversight Committee had released many of the documents related to the late convicted sex offender regarding his trafficking of girls and young women. But some of the members of the committee don’t want to talk about the card that Trump is alleged to have signed and sent.
“I am so goddamn sick of being asked about a f*****g birthday card,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) told The Independent on Tuesday.

I'm so goddamn sick of them protecting child molesters.

I think child rapists is a more fitting term.

Then stop protecting pedophiles! Didn't QAnon start because of alleged liberal pedophiles? It's obvious now that is was Republican pedophiles all along.

To be fair, it seems more like a rich asshole thing, than a political affiliation thing strictly speaking, but there definitely seems to be a strong Republican bias to the perpetrators. I mean, I think even Donald was technically a Democrat during the birthday card period unless I'm mistaken.
Edit:
The card is from 2003, so during his Democrat phase. Though it's pretty clear the man has no actual actual convictions (so to speak) and just does whatever he feels is personally adventageous at any given moment.

The business and political elite, near all ivy league members in secret societies to distinguish them from the non ruling class aristocrats let in because civil rights laws, were targeted in this israeli honeypot to compromise them.
It explains a lot in the support for that county's ever more extreme actions. And their arrogant capricious bullying and persecution over disagreeing with our policy of unconditional support in both parties.
If that info leaks, and other kompromat, the hold will falter.
We need non crooked politicians that cannot be blackmailed from every angle anyway. At a minimum we have russia, israel, and prez's fixers blackmailing them, without even considering what biz groups know. I bet oil knows some shit, and silicon valley.

It was always a Republican pedo diversion. Pizzagate started in response to Trump's child rape accusations getting media coverage.

At some point the fault is no longer with that man alone. The inaction of the state to bring justice makes it at fault too. And at some point it is no longer just the state either but the inactions of the general people as well.
The only justice that will ever be carried out against these pedophiles will be if the guillotine blade drops.
Remember, the Biden administration sat on these files for four years while they carried out a genocide in Gaza. The victims of Epstein and his rich pedophile friends will see as much justice as the children that starved in Gaza last night.
If all the "opposition" ever does is point to things they are only there to give the delusion that justice is being done.

Historically, the US, and it's citizens, have been just dandy with pedophilia being normal, and encouraged.

No, GOP, that was a warning, not an instruction! Get away from those schools.

Part of the whole "trans women in bathrooms" schtick is to make official jobs of child genital inspectors. What could possibly go wrong, when you have a bunch of old, white men inspecting the genitals of children?

Don't forget that they probably still talk about "The Clinton Body Count", Whitewater, Vince Foster, Filegate, Travelgate, and other totally stupid shit from the 90s that the black helicopter crowd were all worked up about for most of that decade...

Just a thought.

At this point what are we waiting for? We know Trump is in those files. We know he rapes women of all ages. We know the entire Republican party has decided to try and cover that up while preaching about family values and other things incompatible with protecting pedophiles.
It seems like we're waiting for permission to do something but they're clearly never going to admit wrong doing and we already have all the knowledge needed to make a decision anyway so I can't figure out why we're all expecting this to happen or what we think will change if it does. We should just do today whatever we think we would do the day after they admit Trump is a pedophile because that's clearly never going to happen.

It is a sound bite that is hard for House Republicans to run from. Republicans have decent responses to most of Trump's political actions for their base, even if the responses are outright lies.

It's almost as if those people run for office for themselves, not for the people they should be representing. That's ass backwards at the highest level. There should be some form of cleansing the "look at me" politicians without waiting for the next goddamn election. A legal way though, until we absolutely need to fight fire with fire.

It sure sucks that these public fucking servants have to answer questions, what an annoyance! There are real child rapists and traffickers out there, just like Epstein. And there are real victims, who had their lives destroyed. Think of them when we pursue the truth and try to get justice...

They and only they can solve this problem by impeaching Trump.
They won't because they'd rather play the victim than admit because the congestive load of accepting they are the victimizers would cause them to increment our nation's climbing suicide rate.

I often find myself in political discussions with Republican voters, for some of them, this is spot on.
One of the most flawed arguments I have heard is that the Republican Party wants to release the Epstine files, but they can't because of the Democrats.
When I pointed out that they control all branches of government, and the only way they Democrats would be able to prevent them from doing that is if elected Republican representatives chose to vote against it, I was told it was still the Democrats fault... because they would cancel and persecute anyone even remotely associated with the people on that list.
The ones who still support their party's leadership and direction are clearly master gymnasts im dodging accountability and performing as the victim. It's not the Republicans' fault— It's the Democrats fault. And when it's not the Democrats' fault, it's still the Democrats fault, but for a different reason.

This is how republicans run Texas. They've had a stranglehold on Texas politics for decades and yet still blame anything bad on democrats, woke, and sustainable energy. They blamed the freeze on windmill farms, for fucks sake.
