    Because they are literally to blame.

    Mike Johnson shut Congress down two days before any vote or debate on the budget to protect Trump from the Epstein files discharge petition.

    He thought shutting down the government was just a bonus.

    At what point does covering up pedophilia and sex trafficking make you a part of the criminal conspiracy?

    Man… remember 3 months ago when some of us were pointing out the real cracks in the MAGA facade?

    This is them. Even more visible than before.

    Going after Epstein is political hay.

    Going after the failures of the Trump gestapo state to “make America great” (bad economy, bad jobs, increased prices) is political hay.

    I’d fucking KILL for some political leadership among the dem’s to actually put pressure on these things.

    MTG is getting more reasonable every day. It was annoying at first, having a conspiracy screech karen being sensible all of the sudden, now it’s just becoming scary.

    Please don’t let her become one of the good guys, she doesn’t deserve a redemption arc unless she ends the dictatorship herself

      Ok, ok, but man it’d be fucking funny if she did end the dictatorship herself somehow. That timeline would be bananas.

      This is what happens when they don’t take corporate bribe money. Sometimes even the batshit ones have reasonable takes, when they aren’t simply being paid to be batshit.
