Using the pro forma process, Closeted Mikey swore in two Republicans less than 24 hours after they were elected.
It's been five weeks since the Democrat was elected. And, I shit you not, the schizo is complaining she is pulling a stunt by not doing her job as an elected official!
No, really. He actually did that.
Kool Story, Bruvs! If you are going to try to publish it, I have an idea for the title:
The Pelosi Precedent
Speaker Johnson is right to encourage her to to her job, to be in her office, to manage and direct her staff, to communicate with constituents, etc. They probably have a lot of questions about when Schumer is going to end the Schutdown and they elected her to provide those answers. He is almost infinitely senior to her, she should be grateful for the chance to learn at his feet, if he is willing.
The only thing she cannot do as a Representative prior to being sworn in is cast a vote, which is moot because there will be no votes until the Democrats end their government shutdown so that Johnson can gavel the House into session.
The reason he is not swearing her in is obvious to everyone but you, apparently.
He does not want the discharge petition voted on which will force Trump's Justice Department to release the Pedo Files.
He's protecting Jeff Epstein's best friend.
The Pedo Files are going to come out sooner or later, and no one is going to forget repressed Mike abusing his position to keep that from happening.
He is just ensuring the backlash will be brutal.
You are wrong, sir! I feel I would be correct to say "wrong again," but I rarely read your posts, so that would not be fair. The Discharge petition will in no way force the DOJ to do anything.
You have been lied to, I'm afraid.
The discharge petition will not force the Justice Department to release the Pedo Files. It will do nothing more than get the Epstein Transparency Bill out of committee in the House.
AI Explains:
Once a discharge petition for the "Epstein bill" (formally known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act) is signed by a majority of the House of Representatives (218 members), it allows the bill to be brought to the House floor for a direct vote, bypassing the committee process and House leadership.
The key steps and outcomes once the required signatures are obtained are:
- Forcing a Floor Vote: The primary purpose is to force a vote in the full House of Representatives on the legislation, which mandates the Department of Justice to publicly release all unclassified files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. This circumvents any potential blockage by House Speaker or committee chairs.
- Placement on Calendar: After reaching 218 signatures, the petition is placed on the "Discharge Calendar".
- Waiting Period: It must remain on the calendar for at least seven legislative days before it can be called up for consideration.
- Motion to Consider: On the second or fourth Monday of a month, any member who signed the petition can offer a motion for the House to consider the bill.
- House Debate and Vote: If the motion to consider is adopted by a simple majority, the House will then debate the bill under general rules, and a final up or down vote will be held on the Epstein Files Transparency Act itself.
Sounds time consuming. Trump may die before all that happens, He's not a young man, you know.
But . . . once that final up or down vote happens, and it is passed, that's it! The DOJ instantly releases the files!
Except . . . no.
AI goes on . . .
Important Distinction: A successful discharge petition does not automatically make the bill law. It only forces a vote in the House. For the bill to become law, it must:
- Pass the House of Representatives by a simple majority vote.
- Pass the Senate (where it would need to go through its own process and overcome a potential filibuster, requiring 60 votes).
- Be signed into law by the President.
Who specifically told you that the discharge petition would force the DOJ to release the Pedo List? You don't have to tell me, but you might make a mental note not to believe them anymore.
