BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

He's run out of excuses.

I've watched many, oh so many, of his attempted rationalizations for giving our House of Representatives a weeks-long paid vacation (what's it now? 7 or 8 or maybe 9 weeks? How many of Americans have 7 or 8 or 9 weeks of vacation?) in order to prevent the Epstein files from being revealed

So, what will be his next attempt to suppress the Epstein files, once the Houe is back in session?

There will be a brief distraction when Lewzer pardons Ghislaine Maxwell and has her flown to the UK on Bribe Force One, never to be seen again.

Given all the laws that Pres Trump apparently has flouted, that action would not surprise me at all.

Would it disgust me because it flouts the law of the Country? Absolutely.

But would it surprise me that Pres Trump may do this? Absolutely not.

Because the unredacted Epstein files are a death knell to Trump, my guess is that the duo of Trump/Johnson have another "Plan" to protect Trump from that 218th vote from ever happening.

When the end is nigh, acute desperation knows no boundaries.

A distraction won't work. They've tried that relentlessly.

Nothing so far has swayed the public's demand to know whether or not the President of the United States is a pedophile.

And rightfully so.

Well, the delay gave them time to sanitize the Epstein Files to take out the references to the billionaire caste, and certainly they found a way to make sure Trump is protected.

At this point the Epstein files are three pages long, fully redacted. Pam Blondi will explain that what is being presented is all the Biden Administration left behind, so blame it all on them. Case closed...

the senate might not vote on it, drumpf won't sign it, and the fbi will never release the unredacted files until the Gaurdians Of Pedophiles (GOP) are out of power.

There is a Google hit for a 200-page "Epstein Birthday Book." Enjoy. I sure did. I'm eager to see the files and photos released. Wee-weese Epstein!

Now if only baby-face johnson would swear himself out, we'd be getting somewhere.

You and everybody else who wasn't dunking his dicky in places it didn't belong.

The other list seems to be comprised of some VIPs who are paying Trump huge amounts to money to keep their lives from being ruined by disclosure.

Take that ballroom, for instance. Strange that so many VIP's are suddenly (and inexplicitly) donating $Millions$ to build a "ballroom" that is of no personal use to them. This could even lead one to suspect that Trump is resorting to blackmail.

I'd bet the "donations" will amount to at least 100x the cost of building that monstrosity. The excess will be gifted to a worthy cause, I'm sure.

If some of these "donations" are a result of blackmail, Trump has himself a permanent cash cow. Those who are guilty of dicky-dunking will stick to him like Gorilla Glue.

I can imagine the ripple of fear that runs through these VIP dicky-dunkers at the mere thought of disclosure. They'd be ruined.

Can you imagine your fate being held in the hands of a mentally unravelling narcissistic lunatic with delusions of Godhood?

It might keep one up at night.
