The Epstein files are the distraction. Republicans dismantle democracy while people fight over the files.
Imagine doing something so horrible that you underage prostitutes as a smokescreen.
It’s kind of all interwoven. They are pedophiles, who are dismantling democracy, while stealing unprecedented amounts of wealth in human history, while persecuting minorities, while praising god.
Not “underage prostitutes”, like they had any real agency is getting groomed and traded by billionaires, but children. He fucked children.
Raped. He raped children.
I’ve been saying this because I started to feel a rising sense of hopeless frustration every time the administration or Miller has destroyed some sacred institution or started scooping cash from needy families, you would invariably see someone, especially on Lemmy start spamming memes about “That’s cool bro, what about the epstein files?” as if anyone still cares when they’re starving and jobless or healthcare premiums have been driven up to a thousand dollars a month for someone on minimum wage.
We are truly in the scummiest, stupidest timeline when an authoritarian can shield himself from accountability just by having child sex crimes hanging over him.
A sex felon.
Wow it kind of made me vomit a little saying that.
Releasing the files would give a lot of evidence to jail the people destroying democracy. They go hand-in-hand because it’s the same people.
It also focuses rage. It’s something everybody can agree on.
What a fucking legend lmao
This needs to replace the template with Crowder
Just want to mention that I had 2 seconds of thinking crowder was the guy whose ideology ended bleeding out of his neck bc all these shitty con grifters are pretty much the same people and end up being interchangeable in my memory meat.
Wonder if his college tour schedule has changed much in the past couple months
Is he still refusing to swear her in
Did you know Mr. Johnson’s nickname in high school was ‘Tiny’?
They called him Tiny Johnson?
That’s a dick move
I love what Newsome inspired from candidates
I like it.
But I wish these Democrats were good for something more than performative bullshit.
They’ve shut down the government for more than a month holding out for healthcare, that’s not exactly form over function.
Yeah, after letting Donald do absolutely everything he wanted for eight.
I’ll believe they mean business when they actually do something.
“No, that doing something doesn’t count”
JFC I shouldn’t need to defend the dems, there’s so much valid criticism out there. But saying they’re not doing something as a way to dismiss the #1 example of them doing something is kinda… unreasonable.
It’s not like they can just shut down the government any time they want. It’s down because there is no budget agreement, which only happens once a year. For the previous 8 months, every court has bent the knee to Trump.
They’re doing something right now. Now is the time to be hopeful, and use that hope to further steps into the right direction. Go donate to a food co-op or something instead of doomposting on lemmy
For starters, I did.
It’s not like they can just shut down the government any time they want.
Sure, but they could have done this in May, and they decided to give Donald license to do another summer of fascism AND helped ease the passage of the BBB, after spending the first four months of the year destroying the country. Again, I will give them credit when they do something meaningful.
They’re only acting now out of self-interest and nothing else. Definitely glad to see them doing the bare minimum even if it’s for selfish reasons, but let’s be clear, this is the bare minimum.
You agree they can’t shut the government down any time they want, and then you want them to do exactly that…
Is this real?
If so, that woman is a fucking legend.
That lady is indeed a legend.
It’s real, and she is a fucking legend 🥂
Mike Johnson downvoted this.
Mike Johnson once downvoted picture of a cute kitten peeking out of a box… on c/cats, no.less!
Fucking badass. This is the attitude we need from our representatives.
Is this hope I keep tasting the last few days?
Mamdani wins, Pelosi stepping down, dems winning multiple races, reps doing things like this…
Started as a cover for not swearing in our new Congresswoman from Arizona, spun out of control.
We need to stop talking TRUMP. We need to start talking REPUBLICANS did this. Want lasting change? Stop aiming for the dementia patient cult leader. He’ll die soon enough and blame will shift. Stop aiming at individual targets and shotgun this thing.
Stop talking “conservatives”. Both anti-Trump and anti-conservative messaging is a personal attack, and they’ll resist. Say, “The REPUBLICANS did this. REPUBLICANS are to blame.”
These people have no loyalty to “Republicans”. Hit them where they can fold up and agree. “I’m not the bad guy. My guy isn’t the bad guy. It’s those damned Republicans! If it weren’t for those meddling kids!”
America, saved by a meme. It might work.
No one can change her mind. Reality is reality.
Republicans are the party of pedophiles.
