I'd ask you if you agree with Trump that your voters are 'stupid' and 'foolish,' but then you're a Republican who could have voted to release those files regarding the sex trafficking of children but voluntarily voted to block it while gaslighting us all to blame somebody/anybody else but you. </blockquote> So my question at this point is what are their own voters going to say to them when they do go back to their home districts?

Have a, by reports, kick ass concert then pass. He had parkinsons and did not want to go that way. To pass right before it really kicked in...got to respect that. I can't find it on youtube but the 70's music channel on pluto had a video of very early Black Sabbath and Ozzy looked like a surf or frat rocker with tshirt, jeans and short hair. The only "metal" thing about him was the really thick black eye liner. Interesting contrast to his more famous look. RIP Ozzy but what a way to go. Have a, by reports, kick ass concert then pass.

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 01:50:36 +0000 http://www.chrisweigant.com/?p=26614#comment-220683 Thanks for the backgrounder on the coming congressional recess. I was particularly taken by this comment: "Both Massie and the Democrats have been forcing votes on the issue. They forced a vote in the Rules Committee (which has to approve each bill before it hits the House floor) and they even forced a procedural floor vote last week. One Republican on the Rules Committee voted for the measure, but it wasn't enough. Republicans arm-twisted enough of their members to make the floor vote fail too (but just barely). But this has caused a lot of frustration among some Republican House members, because deep down they really do want to vote to force the files' release." Wait, what? "Some" GOP representatives *deep down really* want to get the so-called Epstein files into the open, despite Trump's vehement opposition? OK, I can see that, given the repeated insistence by the commentariat that almost everyone in Congress really hates and/or despises Trump, even if they can't openly buck him because of his command of the MAGA electorate. But how do we KNOW this? Are these people on the record as hating Trump and deep down really wanting to embarass him and/or humiliate him and/or expose him to yet more criminal charges? Or is it all hush-hush, off the record, can't say that publicly but I swear to you, etc.? What's your source? How do you know that many Republican representatives "deep down really do" want to get the Epstein files made public? Thanks for the backgrounder on the coming congressional recess.
