I call bullshit on 2/3 of Congress. I believe they’re not nearly as wealthy or powerful as the people being protected.

call bullshit on 2/3 of Congress.

Yeah..... It really doesn't have to be that dramatic. The GOP would be more than willing to bury any kind of evidence if it only endangered a couple of their mega donors.

I mean I'm guessing that the people wealthy enough to partake in pedo island probably aren't a fan of paying taxes.

Well maybe it would destroy them by taking out their donors?

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans will ever release the Epstein files. Yes, this is a case in which "both sides" applies. I don't understand why we didn't pressure Biden to release this shit before the election.

Yeah in fact a lot more than 1/3rd of Congress voted to release the files. 211 Republicans voted to shut down the release. Seems more like a simple majority of congress is negatively impacted by the pedophile ring being exposed.

I think we should expel 2/3 of Congress based solely on if they take corporate/billionaire money or not. That number would probably be higher than 2/3, though.

But also expelling violent criminals would be nice, even though likely all the violent criminals in Congress are also corrupt.

Every House seat and 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for reelection next fall. The primaries are the only place you’ll find small donor-funded candidates.
