He's stalling while republicans think of ways to sanewash pedophilia.
Nothing says "Nothing to see here" like shutting down a portion of the government.
Hopefully a hacker busts in and retrieves the list.
I just wish the right-wing base held their representatives to a higher standard or at least to the standard they hold Dems.
You mean you wish they made up insane stories from absolute fantasy to make the standard of goodness fluctuate with their whims? I dunno…
Trump raped kids.
Mike Johnson loves pedophiles
Why else is he spying on his son like that? Creep behavior
He thinks that his son is cheating on him. So insecure.
hasnt he been to conversion therapy?

What do we pay these people for?
We don’t pay these people, they do.
I mean we do too, but its chump change compared to the kickbacks they get from those who are "too big to fail."
Talk about entitlement. "I simply can't be exposed. How would society ever carry on without my generational wealth pulling the strings from the shadows?"

Wonder how many of these legislators are on the list.
Wonder how few aren't.
how many word leaders, DONORS to both parties, thats who they are protecting.
I heard the scrabble champions have a big problem molestation, some say almost as much as the church
Gaslight. Obstruct. Project (and also pedophilia apparently)

Pedophiles covering for pedophiles. It's the GOP way!
So turns out this is the real reason they’re against abortions. I always thought it was the labor they could exploit. I guess it’s both

I guess he figures that when they return, everybody will have forgotten about Epstein.
He's probably right.
First thing Democrats should do when they get back is demand the files be released again. Not like Republicans will allow anything that actually benefits the public to be done, might as well just troll them.
And they should absolutely run on that - "I will release (or support the release of) the Epstein Files on Day One."
Every Democratic candidate should say that over and over. Don't dwell on it, don't expand on it, just make that statement. Make the MAGAs blather about why it's good to support child molesters.
And they should absolutely run on that - “I will release (or support the release of) the Epstein Files on Day One.”
They should have run on that in 2024. Made a big huge issue of it during the campaign.
Instead we got "Look! dick cheney likes me!"
It wouldn't have been as effective back then. Now that they've finally come to the moment of release, they refused to do it, after making it one of the center points of the campaign. For many, it WAS the campaign. Now that they've finally balked at the finish line, there is no speculation about their position.
NOW, is when the Dems can finally take real advantage of this situation of the MAGAs making, and they should seize this opportunity and explore it mercilessly. The MAGAs certainly would.
unfortunately the BBB tax/medicaid cut time bombs will be in effect when that happens making the dumb magats suddenly forget about the epstein files.
The look you get when you run cover for pedos.
Looks like a pedophile himself. Not doing any favors covering for them.
Everyone in the GOP looks guilty as fuck.
Tune in next week as we learn, yet again, that their supporters have literally no bottom they're not willing to dig past to show the world they can go even lower.

Waste of human flesh, Mike Johnson.
Republicans protecting pedophiles. Must be a day that ends in 'Y'
Just try’na get a jump on stuff with all this busy summer weekend traffic & such. What a petulant little man he is. Given the opportunity, I’d happily show him what those tortoise shell frames look like in reverse.
Johnson give dicks a bad name.
What a weak ass, pedophile protecting, pathetic little man, hiding behind self righteous claims of "family values" and a "strong patriarch."
You know what Moses would do in this situation? "Lead his people" by protecting kids from the pedophiles Johnson is unwilling to expose.
All after going on with that whole BS about going against Trump on this one. Weyrich was right when he said there was no longer a "moral majority." But not bc they lost a manufactured culture war. Bc the leaders of the movement were never motivated by morality. They were motivated by their desire for power and control.
This is exactly the outcome you would expect from a bunch of narcissists hell bent on forcing society to "return" to some idealised world that never actually existed, all in the name of "traditional values."
Those with power demanding everyone conform to their demands and live their lives by the rules they make up, while using their position of power to manipulate the majority with claims of being "chosen by God to lead." All while protecting the most evil, despicable scum of the earth. Satan himself couldn't have come up with a better way to cosplay as an angel of light.
He's an absolutely disgusting excuse for a human being and coincidentally has a terrible poker face. The first thing I noticed is that he'll have a shit eating grin on his face for the entire duration of an interview while talking about fucking people over (even while not talking) but on all the interviews about Epstein that shit eating grin is completely gone.
Trying to imagine how my employer would feel if I left my job early without doing the work.
This is him doing their work.
Actually he is doing his job correctly. Protecting pedophiles is his job.
The most damning thing we're learning from all of this is how unbelievably gullible and stupid Trump sycophants are.
Once you have faith in a Sky Daddy, evidence doesn't matter and Truth is whatever you "feel in your heart"
The way Republicans are handling this is actually extremely unpopular with the MAGA crowd too, it's basically the first time that Trump's base has been in outright disagreement with him on an issue. Pretty much every political demographic in the country is in agreement re: Epstein disclosures. I think we need to show some critical support to the majority of Republicans who want the full files released, at least on this specific issue, in order to keep the pressure up until congress comes back from their big long vacation. Everybody is angry about this. They want it, we want it, let's keep the energy up.
