According to nbcnews.com, Chuck Schumer has dubbed the early break called for by Johnson the "Epstein Recess."
Pretty good, Leader Schumer. Other Dems, are you listening? Sounds to me like a pretty good messaging tool. Simplicity and repetition are everything in messaging though. So the rest of you need to get on board.

(604 posts)Trump and his cronies seem to be planning to make a deal with Epstein's partner to buy her silence. Evidence. We must have more evidence to bury him with!

Not that it won't happen...

(25,517 posts)too. IMHO they are still way too cautious.

(10,029 posts)By my calculations, the designated Epstein Recess extending from July 23 through September 1 totals 42 calendar days.
A full Scaramucci is generally considered to be 10 days. Some would say it's 11 days, but we'll go with 10 for this exercise.
Therefore 42/10 = 4.2 Scaramuccis!
Fun fact: One year (365 days) = 8.7 Epstein Recesses
