MTG:

I think that's part of the point.

Trump got distracted, as he does, and has stopped doing Putin's bidding as far as Ukraine.

Putin doesn't like that, and has reached out to some of his other assets in US government, of which MTG is one. She got vocal about us needing to not strike Iran, which was wildly out of character for her (she generally doesn't give a shit about the world outside of her weird little fantasy version of it, definitely not about geopolitics).

If she's now making noise about Epstein, in a way that breaks from Trump, then I think the reason is that Russia is telling her to, because they think Trump needs to be punished on this issue.

I have no idea, but that's what I think is going on. Trump has lost sight of rule number one in American politics: You dance with them as brung you.

Would it really make any difference if she did say that someone had accused Trump?

"fake news"

It isnt really, if you can take yourself away from opposing the idea that they are both as bad as each other. The dems, IMO, are the main reason we ever saw what a Trump presidency looks like at all. The DNC fucking about to make sure Hilary got the nom, when America was begging for change, was nothing short of a self inflicted gunshot to the head.

Bernie, would have beaten Trump. Even Republicans at the time were saying they would vote for Bernie. Trump won, because he was pushing the "Ill drain the swamp" thing. Hilary was just more of the same, woman or not, she was a card carrying member of everything that people wanted to change.

Just last year, AOC, the young and future Bernie, was up for a committee seat that would have been a great stepping stone to running in 28. But the OAPs led by Nancy Pelosi were having none of it, and forced through getting a 75 year old man who was dying of cancer in the seat instead of a 35 year old woman in her prime. 4 months later, that old dude died. And AOC has said she wont run for the seat again, because nothing has changed in the Democratic caucus and they would still vote in old cunts that only care about themselves.

America needs a third option. Because the state of left and right parties is a joke.

It really does show how fucking useless they are.

The only reason she's excited is because she is convinced the names are all Democrats. When they turn out to be mostly Republicans, she'll quiet down.

That's the thing about reading the list out loud. You can just skip over the names of the people you want to protect.

Release the files.

Yeah. She is smart enough to see that Trump is losing popularity quickly and may not survive the midterms. Might as well be in front of the issue.

Twice, she's surprisingly pro-palestine and a lot better then most dems on calling it a genocide and for an arms embargo to israel.

Horrible on almost everything else though...

I don't think she understood well what it means

No other Republican will touch it with a ten foot pole, and everyone else talking about it are Democrats.

Massie

This is the woman that heard there was a wildfire burning in California and then went straight onto the national news to tell everyone that the Jews did it with their orbital lasers.

This just popped into my head, but has anyone considered that she's doing this because she thinks it's an antisemitism somehow?

It's sad, but it makes sense they'd be hesitant to speak out. One of Trump's known rape victims dropped her case because she was receiving extralegal threats, back when Michael Cohen was still his personal fixer and loyal attack dog. And Trump was just a shady failed businessman back then - he has way more power to hurt people right now, and has spent his entire life publicly trying to crush anyone who crosses him.

And that's not even getting into all the other names that'd be on the list. Their cushy lifestyles are far less likely to survive their names coming out than "Teflon Don", so it's likely they'd be willing to do some extremely shady shit to silence their victims. I doubt pedophile rapists are the sort to shy away from operating outside the legal system, after all.

That and it's part of the game.

Use Trump to push things as far as he can, and when that starts falling apart have "allies" start "fighting" him on things to keep the followers on the designated path.

I think it's a "don't interrupt when the enemy is hurting itself" situation.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I’m so on board with the situation right now.
