From Bill Clinton to feigning ignorance, Republicans would rather not talk about the birthday card

From Bill Clinton to feigning ignorance, Republicans would rather not talk about the birthday card

Republicans in the House of Representatives would rather not talk about the “bawdy” birthday note that Donald Trump supposedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday party.

The House Oversight Committee had released many of the documents related to the late convicted sex offender regarding his trafficking of girls and young women. But some of the members of the committee don’t want to talk about the card that Trump is alleged to have signed and sent.

“I am so goddamn sick of being asked about a f*****g birthday card,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) told The Independent on Tuesday.

    Then stop protecting pedophiles! Didn’t QAnon start because of alleged liberal pedophiles? It’s obvious now that is was Republican pedophiles all along.

      To be fair, it seems more like a rich asshole thing, than a political affiliation thing strictly speaking, but there definitely seems to be a strong Republican bias to the perpetrators. I mean, I think even Donald was technically a Democrat during the birthday card period unless I’m mistaken.

      Edit:

      Republican (1987–1999): Trump first registered as a Republican in 1987.

      Reform Party (1999–2001): In 1999, he left the Republican Party and joined the Reform Party, even forming an exploratory committee for a potential presidential run in 2000.

      Democrat (2001–2009): He changed his registration to Democrat in 2001.

      Republican (2009–2011): He switched back to the Republican Party in 2009.

      Unaffiliated (2011–2012): Trump briefly registered with no political party in 2011.

      Republican (2012–present): He rejoined the Republican Party in 2012, ahead of the 2012 presidential primary, and has remained a Republican since.

      The card is from 2003, so during his Democrat phase. Though it’s pretty clear the man has no actual actual convictions (so to speak) and just does whatever he feels is personally adventageous at any given moment.

        The business and political elite, near all ivy league members in secret societies to distinguish them from the non ruling class aristocrats let in because civil rights laws, were targeted in this israeli honeypot to compromise them.

        It explains a lot in the support for that county’s ever more extreme actions. And their arrogant capricious bullying and persecution over disagreeing with our policy of unconditional support in both parties.

        If that info leaks, and other kompromat, the hold will falter.

        We need non crooked politicians that cannot be blackmailed from every angle anyway. At a minimum we have russia, israel, and prez’s fixers blackmailing them, without even considering what biz groups know. I bet oil knows some shit, and silicon valley.

      It was always a Republican pedo diversion. Pizzagate started in response to Trump’s child rape accusations getting media coverage.
