23. WRONG! The math is this. It takes a majority of the Full House signing a discharge petition

to force a full vote. The full House has 435 seats. There are currently 2 vacant, but they don't factor in to the discharge petition requirements. A majority for discharge petition purposes always requires a majority of the FULL HOUSE which is always 218 (1/2 x 435 + 1). Grijalva will be signature #218. There have been 215 House Republicans who have refused to sign the petition. There are 2 vacant seats. Even if both winners refused to sign the petition, that would make 217. The majority is GUARANTEED with Grijalva's signature.

Epstein files time. Although I fear they have been seriously tampered with by the harpy Bondi & her underling henchpeeps Celerity Nov 2025 #1

No, the petition does not force the Epstein files to be released Jersey Devil Nov 2025 #2

So what's the point here ? It doesn't appear like there is any ground to be gained as long as R's control the govt. ? Amaryllis Nov 2025 #5

The point is to make Repubs go on record as protectors of pedophelia Jersey Devil Nov 2025 #7

It actually forces the house to act on trying to obtain the epstein files and informatiin through subpoenas, SSJVegeta Nov 2025 #11

It still doesn't "force" DOJ to release the files Fiendish Thingy Nov 2025 #15

Sure, but theres a lot that can be done already without the DOJ doing more SSJVegeta Nov 2025 #16

Yes, but many believe the mythology that the discharge petition will result in the release of the files. Nt Fiendish Thingy Nov 2025 #20
