You know... The investigation that his current Secretary of State performed already and found that Russia did try to interfere... But it only helped Trump. Rubio must be incompetent.. maybe that's why he tried to put a pedophile in that spot before him.
I wonder if we'll get to see Rubio testify that he never saw the report he submitted
Well... honestly in the older days when courts seemed like, a fair low bias group I'd have said of course it's a waste of time and money, like say when they drilled the fuck out of hillary for ages over benghazi.
I can't help but feel that if the benghazi hearings were held today... it wouldn't end the same way. The DOJ and half the seated judges have just lost all plausible "impartiality". I can't help but feel the decision will be made with complete lack of regard to the evidence, and the court system is just turning into a joke.
You make a fair point. Obama should maybe get the hell out of dodge, just in case.
Or - okay, OR - stay and fight, unite the left, and take down these fascist child raping motherfuckers for decades.
Might be better if Obama were to run that fight from across the Atlantic. He's too well known. If Trump really were to go after Obama, it would be open season in MAGA world. Some clown would shoot him for sure fully expecting a pardon, if not a medal from Trump.
That or ICE would snag him and deport him to South Sudan with the hope that he'd be kidnapped and enslaved. Hell, I could see Trump selling Obama directly into slavery for a few million bucks worth of his crypto coins.
DONALD TRUMP RAPED CHILDREN
Imagine taking a job where you know that your number one priority is to try to provide cover for a pedophile.
Imagine how shitty of a person you have to be to want that job.
Or how desperate you have to be to need that job.
Is this being fiscally conservative?
It still won't distract us from the Epstein files
At least you forgot about the egg price.
Epstein was asked in his grand jury testimony if his penis was egg-shaped.
I - hey, I dunno. I’m just reporting the facts here. There was no mention of prices.
Are eggs still up in parts of the US? They're back to about what they were a year ago where we live, $2.70-$2.80/dozen.
I assume they are, at least in nyc, that’s how they got a muslin mayor candidate.
This is peak conservative desperation folks
This is the stupidest timeline.
I want a strike force to go after the Epstein pedos
Best we can do is destroy the government and implement a violent fascist takeover.
This is absolutely insane. They already gifted Obama presidential immunity. Now they want to take it back?? You literally can’t make this shit up
Where’s the list Donald?
Republicans used to be crybaby losers. So they accused and gerrymandered and did whatever dirty tricks they could to win. Now they are crybabies even when they win.
Republicans: Cruel, racist, pedophile, crybabies.
For years Iʻve referred to Republicans as “sore winners.”
Oh look at this. Totally not a distraction because the current POTUS is a pedo. Totalllllly not a distraction.
Release the original Epstein files!
Copy "2016 Election"
Replace "Benghazi".
How many years and millions to reach the same conclusion?
I know this is just a distraction from the Epstein files, but if you really want people to take to the streets and take up arms, the go ahead and arrest Obama. People won't stand for that, because they know that if you arrest a former president for no reason then they can be arrested and imprisoned for no reason. Right now, it's only immigrants, so not many people are willing to act, but once they start arresting dissenters, I feel like shit is going to get wild.
This is why I think Trump and the current admin won’t actually go after Obama. The Democrats sat on legitimate Jan 6th evidence and didn’t do anything.
If the Trump admin arrests Obama on some sham charges, and then the Democrats come back in power, then all bets are off. I think this only happens if Republicans get really desperate. But with all three branches of government under Republican control I don’t think they’re there yet.
Nine years ago is getting closer in time to when trump fucked children and got himself on epstein's list.
Hey let’s investigate Reagan.
What, for making a deal that kept American government employees hostage until he said so?
Umm…
For anyone, like myself, who didn't recognize the character in the meme here, it's apparently Krysten Ritter playing Jessica Jones in Jessica Jones, which I've never watched.
Probably dating myself here, but I was staring at it thinking that it was Winona Ryder, and couldn't remember ever having seen that scene. Looks a lot like her.

Sounds like it isn't just me, at least.

Anyone one else think that Winona Ryder looks like Jessica
that was the point.
the person who wrote the Jessica Jones comics started writing them in the late 90's then got the Marvel deal in 2000. they are a fan of Wynona.
I can definitely see some resemblance and understand. 😆
I'm simultaneously in love with both Ritter and Ryder though, so I can easily tell them apart. Never mind the nail polish I put in the back of their shells.
Initially thought it was from Beetlejuice, yes.
If I’m not mistaken, (assuming no legal fuckery), no amount of evidence can legally prosecute him. There has to be two witnesses testifying in open court or his own confession.
Also, the act has to related to leving war or giving aid and comfort to the enemy. lol, wouldn’t saying Russia is an enemy upset Donnie?
Donny Diddler doesn't want you to think about the Epstein files anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over here look over here this is the new thing!
Hopefully they’ll grill Hillary for another two weeks straight for nothing again. Toady pinheads.
