    Democrats are warning they might retaliate

    Fuck that, do it regardless of if Republicans do it or not.

    Don’t give them the choice, they said they’re gonna do it, and we all know they will if they can.

    So every blue state that can, needs to do it too.

      Besides, the GOP had declared this war years ago already and the Dems have been plodding along pretending it wasn’t happening. I’m glad they seem to recognize it finally and are making the right motions to fight, but honestly they should have been doing this much sooner.

      I’m also worried about this being a dangerous game for Democracy - but if the Dems had any messaging chops they’d get out ahead of this and say ‘we’re going to cancel out every seat the GOP steals with a blue seat’ and make sure they’ve legally established that their gerrymandered seats are only temporary until a national ban is enacted.

    To quote the cinematic masterpiece BASEketball, this is the vibe Democrats seem to have about things.

    “I swear, you guys rip on me thirteen or fourteen more times and I’m outta here!”

    Why was he in the Epstein Report, and using FBI agents to search for and redact his name? RELEASE IT!

    The orange Child rapist (who is on the Epstein list) is doing only one of these two things.
    1 Releasing the unredacted Epstein files.
    Or
    2 Distracting from the Epstein files because he’s a child rapist.

    I wonder which one the kiddie fiddling unregistered sex offender is going to do…?
