    she can be the vote needed to release the Epstein files…

    This game has a long history in the House. As soon as liberals think they have the magic number of votes, a conservative decides that the bill is secretly woke and goes on a tear about how we need to insert “Execute all transgender people” as an amendment before they can actually support it.

    what other tactics will the traitors use to block it?

    The head of the Department will say “No, you misread the bill, we don’t actually have to do anything”. And then it’ll be five years of the courts deciding whether words mean things.

      Or some democrat who had been a yes up until that point suddenly decides that their conscience tells them they should change to no. See sinema, manchin, fetterman etc.

        Jesus fucking Christ. It’s been nearly a whole year since I last thought about that piece of shit Joe Manchin. You just had to remind me.

        Did more damage to our state than I ever thought possible for a senator. Robert C. Byrd rolling in his fucking grave watching that turncoat hem and haw and not do a goddamn useful thing his entire tenure.
