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.

      At some point the fault is no longer with that man alone. The inaction of the state to bring justice makes it at fault too. And at some point it is no longer just the state either but the inactions of the general people as well.

      The only justice that will ever be carried out against these pedophiles will be if the guillotine blade drops.

      Remember, the Biden administration sat on these files for four years while they carried out a genocide in Gaza. The victims of Epstein and his rich pedophile friends will see as much justice as the children that starved in Gaza last night.

      If all the “opposition” ever does is point to things they are only there to give the delusion that justice is being done.

        Historically, the US, and it’s citizens, have been just dandy with pedophilia being normal, and encouraged.

    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.

    Oh, so you’re tired of being asked why you’re openly defending pedophiles and refusing to hold them accountable? Life is hard. These republicans have got it rough, let me tell you.

      Don’t forget that they probably still talk about “The Clinton Body Count”, Whitewater, Vince Foster, Filegate, Travelgate, and other totally stupid shit from the 90s that the black helicopter crowd were all worked up about for most of that decade…

      Part of the whole “trans women in bathrooms” schtick is to make official jobs of child genital inspectors. What could possibly go wrong, when you have a bunch of old, white men inspecting the genitals of children?
