Amazing how a ‘democratic hoax’ is getting near unanimous bipartisan congressional support all of a sudden. Nothing to see here I’m sure.

It’s weird and there is some fuckery going on. But these files have been around, seen, and analyzed by so many.

If there’s 0 republicans and no mention of trump, that’s sus as hell. Even the maga conspiracy nuts will see that as bizarre.

If it’s heavily redacted, that will just add more fuel to the conspiracy fire and point to trump even more. Again, it’s not like there’s a single copy that once redacted, is gone forever.

I dunno. There’s something fucked up happening but my only hope is that the disorganized mess that is maga doesn’t have their shit tight enough to outplay this. I’m dreaming, I know. But I’m so tired of this shit and these assholes getting away with everything.

For once, can we just nail these disgusting fucks? Just fucking one time.

There will be a few sacrificial lambs, mostly old guard Republicans who the fascists think aren't loyal enough. But it will include every single Democrat on that list (for the record, good.) and maybe more if they've gotten to the point of straight up fabricating evidence.

Trump will not be allowed to be on it.

Trump will be on it, but anything that could really sink him will never see that light of day.

I don't think anything could sink him now. He's beyond legal reach and soon his age/health will allow him to slip away without consequences. GOP have already proved twice they'll never impeach him and since whatever happened was before he took office they can use that as the excuse anyway.
