The Speaker is getting very good at duplicity.

Translation: The Speaker is kicking our ass, and we need to shut him down!

Shut him down? Kicking our ass? No idea what you're talking about. He's delaying the seating of an elected official, a Dem, for political reasons after seating two Repubs not so long ago when the House was not in session.

The reasons for the delay are extremely transparent. Protect Dear Leader, protect House Repubs who want to block the release of the Epstein files against the wishes of a large majority of Americans.

Grijalva cannot be sworn in because Johnson won't seat her until the House is in session, which is perfectly reasonable. Johnson won't bring the House in session while Democrats in the Senate have de-funded government with a demand that the House go into session and put 1.5 trillion in giveaways into what is not a clean CR.

Therefore ALL THE PEDOPHILES listed in the EPSTEIN FILES are being protected by Chuck Schumer's shutdown.

Why are the Democrats and "not Democrats" protecting pedophiles?

As usual the reprehensible right attempts to defend the indefensible.

You are defending Schumer for blocking the release of the Epstein Files. Schumer is a New Yorker. Why do you think he wants these files kept under seal, as he kept them when he was Senate Majority leader?

Let it go. The election was a while ago.

YOu are one of the worst.

YOu are one of the worst.

One of the worst what?

Yes, and Johnson explained that those guys had already brought in their family and friends to see the swearing in at enormous expense, and that the House had been expected to be in session.

Maybe you think that is a bullshit distinction, but it is a very typical tactic of the left, the famous "THAT's DIFFERENT" defense. Plus, she could be sworn in today, and sign the petition as soon as she says "I do," or whatever. But the petitition cannot be acted on until Johnson calls the House into session.

But suppose it is complete bullshit. Doesn't change the fact that Senator Schumer could easily take that excuse away simply by signing a clean CR. That he refuses, makes me wonder why protecting pedophiles is so important to Chuck Schumer.

We know he was VERY protective of the Epstein Files when he was Majority leader, refused to even talk about them. So it is fair to say this shutdown is a continuation of that.

What is Schumer hiding?

What are the judges hiding? Likely it's the realization that Jeffrey Epstein is largely the result of democrat manufactured hysteria blowing this up into a bouncy house size balloon of fakery. What they are afraid of is that Jeffrey Epstein was a hugely wealthy man with a great deal of business interests who had meetings every day with business interests and democrats looking for donations. That's what they are afraid of. That information being blown not only out of proportion but blown into democrat la la land. Everyone Epstein ever met with, spoke to, or took his order at a drive thru is a pedophile. Epstein himself wasn't even a pedophile. You want to know how idiocy like the Salem Witch Trials happened? This is it. This is the Dancing Plague AND the price of tulips. This is political idiocy writ very large.
