Epstein bomb about to drop': Dem lawmaker claims House Republicans ready to abandon Trump

Article from Rawstory.com

Disclaimer: I take this with a huge grain of salt, but I want to pose a hypothetical. Let's say Republicans did turn on Trump over the Epstein case and it let to his downfall before the 2026 mid-terms.

Wouldn't an amazing message for Democrats be the following:

"Republicans were litetally willing to go along with a Trump dictatorship including the use of troops against American citizens, until they learned it would hurt their personal power and position. Who could ever vote for this party ever again?"

Hopefully every last Dem will support it. Many Republican constituents want their Reps to vote for it.

Big breaks in Republican Party lately - many not too happy with Trump’s Gaza policy.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I’m not some sort of blind slave to the president, and I don’t think anyone should be.”

“I serve in Congress. We’re a separate branch of the government, and I’m not elected by the president.”

This may be happening.
There is a three hundred foot wave 50 miles offshore and the GOP has just spotted it.

Count on self interest to carry the day.

JMHO

are now adults. They will speak out again today.

Let us hope at least a few Republicans will face the facts,
honor the real truth, and stop protecting the pedophile and his "besties."

I urge everyone to do this with their gop congresscritter. Every time, the comments are betting better and beetter for the real of sanity. He has reacted with some generic attempt at "finding middle ground:" between haters and migrants that are needed in the farmlands.

The replies are always scathing. So he's getting the message. I hope others are, too.

They can't establish a kingdom without our consent. RESIST!!!!!
