Seems Johnson knows this. Both him and Trump will keep this shutdown going to stop the forced release of these files it seems. Don’t know what kind of plan they’re cooking up though.

    “Ok, so, yeah… We know that Trump did all these horrible things to children, but we can’t charge a sitting president because of a memo written by another corrupt Republican administration. Sorry our hands are tied! Oh we can’t impeach him either because… because fuck you that’s why. Sorry not sorry! Vote R in the midterms though! Communism! Be afraid!”

      Funny enough, I do not fear communism out of spite for the Republicans. It’s a system of government, and they’re who demonized it. I’m willing to try and remove that bias.

      You can only impeach Trump for presidential actions. There are plenty of those.

      Epstein related presidential crimes are due to the cover up, not the parties

        Not so, but only because of the non-legal-system apparatus of impeachment. They can impeach him for his bizarre clown makeup if they wanted, but they’d have to have the votes to remove him and the GQP will never fold or break. It will just keep getting more compressed and static until it becomes a black hole where no light can escape.

        Or, yeah, maybe it did that already.
