Are congressional Repubs coming around to the realization trump has a shelf life?

[Man With A Plan]

“The effect of this resolution is much stronger than any of you had expected,” said Representative Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, the Republican chairwoman of the Rules Committee, apparently suggesting that it had swayed Mr. Trump to authorize Ms. Bondi to release the testimony.

But the approval of the resolution by the Rules Committee, a panel dominated by Republicans and generally under the tight control of the speaker, reflected that widening tension between Mr. Trump, his base and Congress over the case of Mr. Epstein had reached a breaking point.

The measure calls on the Justice Department to make available within 30 days “documents, records and communications” surrounding the investigation into Mr. Epstein, his death, and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Mr. Trump, who has long promoted conspiracy theories and used them to build his political movement, has urged his supporters to trust his administration’s conclusions and essentially tried to cast out those with continued questions over Mr. Epstein from his political base.

But Republicans in Congress, including Speaker Mike Johnson, have still called for the release of the Justice Department’s files about Mr. Epstein. And many hard-right lawmakers whose politics typically align closely with Mr. Trump said this week that their conservative voters had split from the president and were bombarding their offices with calls for greater transparency.

Get back to me when you can factually refute their reporting on this story.

I'll get back to you when I give a shit about "this story", Berg! With all the important things we're dealing with at the moment, why would any intelligent person care about Epstein?

TRUUUUUUUUUUMP

Government employee no doubt.

Not clear about what you're saying. Do you mean Biden told the border patrol agents to stand down and let people cross the border without apprehending them?

He told them to assist them with paperwork and getting settled in.
Where were you.

 

[Rawley]

Not really. Surely you aren't operating under the delusion trump is doing anything but tearing the nation apart, are you?

Man. You need to log off for a while.

The nation's fine. You're the one being torn apart and I have to say I'm enjoying it.

 

[jc456]

What a silly thing to say. I agreed with Biden's EO raising the bar for those who qualify as asylum seekers. Because the US needed to make it clear to immigrants coming to the border that the criteria for entry on a temporary basis was much stricter. Not doing so earlier was a mistake on his part as were the lengths to which he went to overturn trump's inhumane policies.

But this thread is about whether congressional Repubs now see unconditional support for all things trump as a potential liability in the midterms.

how?

House Republicans Dangle Possible Vote on Epstein Files, After Voter Backlash​

House Republicans, under pressure from Democrats and their own angry constituents, agreed on Thursday night to lay the groundwork for a potential vote calling on the Justice Department to release material from its investigation of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, breaking with President Trump’s demand that supporters accept his administration’s handling of the case and move on.

The measure, a nonbinding resolution, has not been scheduled for a vote. It is unclear whether Republicans will ever bring it up, or whether it could muster the support to pass in the face of a deep G.O.P. divide over the Trump administration’s handling of the case of Mr. Epstein, who died by suicide in federal custody while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

This is very far from a revolt. More like a nudge to get the regime to do the right thing.

More importantly, it may be a sign that congressional Repubs, for the first time in a very long time, fear their constituents more than they do trump. Meaning they think trump has lost his iron grip on their hearts and minds.

Keep pushing the propaganda

I thought he flew them in

 

[jc456]

I thought he flew them in

he had an app made to import them outside of custom controls. Most of the flights were early AM flights so they came in undetected by anyone but them. James OKeefe did a bit on it.

Some he did.

President Trump is tearing 20% of the country away from reality
Berg has that correct.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The ONLY thing being torn apart is your Democratic Party.
Torn to SHREADS.

Hardly, sis.

He has 3 1/2 years left then he is gone. They need to get re-elected, they are a lot like Democrats in this way. They all need to keep the wealthy happy and throw a few bones to the voters and let them think they care.

 

[scruffy]

Political theater. Meaningless.

The question is why the FBI doctored Epstein's prison video TWO MONTHS AGO.

Only political retards care about "files". We all know what Epstein did, it's no secret.

House Republicans, under pressure from Democrats

Yep, I figured this much. This whole push to get the Epstein files released is just the latest, new effort by democrats to get Trump out of office. Democrats have some angle to pin it all on Trump, hope to get him impeached and out of office because they feel Vance will be a lot easier to handle.
