The Usual Treachery As everyone know by now, the house voted 427—1 to release the Epstein Pedo-files (heh, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) didn’t get the memo, or cannot read, or both), and so it goes to Sen. John Thune next to kill it in its sleep. But with that kind of veto-proof majority, it might be…

But HIS Emails! One wonders how Our Failed Political Press ™ can pre-exonerate Vulgarmort when they pre-convicted Hillary Clinton before a single email was revealed: Jeffery Epstein —America's leading, late pedophile— merely said Vulgarmort knew about the hundreds of girls that he was sexually…

He seems nice.

If You Can’t Beat ’em… In a YUGE reversal, Vulgarmort declared on Truth Social (no link for obvious reasons) that House Republicans... “...should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left…

The GOP: The Affordability Party Just in time for the Happy Holiday season... It’s Scrooge, but without that disappointing (to Republicans) ending: In the Dickens Novel Universe, Republicans are mud wrestling for the chance to take away Oliver Twist's soup bowl, and to kick-away Tiny Tim’s crutch.
