They don’t give a fuck about Epstein. They know full well that no matter what is in there, the cult isn’t going to care. We’re never going to get the full story there anyway. That’s a snipe hunt.

The real story is the elimination of the legislative branch. Johnson never has to call the House back into session. They can keep the shop closed forever. Everything they want to get rid of will just die on the vine. Healthcare, food assistance, you name it.

Protect 2025 is quite clear on this.
