Why would an Epstein Bombshell keep the Republican Controlled House in Recess? That would mean Republicans are LITERALLY SHUTTING DOWN GOVERNMENT to Protect the World's most FAMOUS CHILD RAPIST and that would be WEIRD!

Soooo can we stop paying taxes? I know it's been a meme up until this point, but seriously? We're so gung ho about free market capitalism and running the government like a company, and that company has stopped providing services or paying its employees. Why the fuck are we still having to pay for it? Where is that money going?

You always could not pay your taxes.

I'd rather not potentially go to jail over the $10 dollar tax every week ON FUCKING UNEMPLOYMENT! bastards.

Literally yes, if you’re employed adjust your withholding and stick the extra into a high yield savings account

I agree. I've been saying that for days

The lawmaker in question is Marjorie Taylor Greene, so consider the source.

She's attacking Trump because he didn't endorse her for Senate.

The only thing people care about wrt Epstein is the child abuse, the "bombshell" here is not going to break through at all.

Bombshell in question:

According to a report Friday from Drop Site News, Epstein had helped broker a defense agreement between the West African nation Côte d'Ivoire and Israel, a revelation uncovered from recently leaked emails of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Why would American's give a shit about that?

Not an answer to your question, but it says a lot about his position between not only the rich and famous but also the politically powerful. Not sure i'd call this information a bombshell but i can imagine things like this raise questions the people it regards rather avoid answering.

Weren't there also some (conspiracy) theories that Epstein was a Mossad agent? Him brokering deals between Israel and others plays right into that narrative.

If they won't bend on restoring healthcare or pass a full budget that the Democrats are behind, so be it.
