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.

      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.

    Well, maybe they should stop covering for him and lying about it and gaslighting about it?

    Just a thought.

    At this point what are we waiting for? We know Trump is in those files. We know he rapes women of all ages. We know the entire Republican party has decided to try and cover that up while preaching about family values and other things incompatible with protecting pedophiles.

    It seems like we’re waiting for permission to do something but they’re clearly never going to admit wrong doing and we already have all the knowledge needed to make a decision anyway so I can’t figure out why we’re all expecting this to happen or what we think will change if it does. We should just do today whatever we think we would do the day after they admit Trump is a pedophile because that’s clearly never going to happen.

    It’s almost as if those people run for office for themselves, not for the people they should be representing. That’s ass backwards at the highest level. There should be some form of cleansing the “look at me” politicians without waiting for the next goddamn election. A legal way though, until we absolutely need to fight fire with fire.
