From your post: "By now you have seen the video of Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) as she fled early in tears from that hearing. I presume, Mace had just learned that her lord and savior, Donald Trump, had his “finger in the pie”, so to speak."
Someone needs to explain to these female GOP lawmakers who have acknowledged that they themselves are victims of sexual abuse that their support of Trump (and in the case of Sen. Joni Ernst, Pete Hegseth) is further victimizing all of these sexual abuse victims!
For whatever reason they bend their knee to this felon-being trying to keep their jobs or/and being threatened to hurt their families- they are traitors to the country. I always wonder what their families think about their treason to their oath to the Constitution.
I understand, but actually I’m talking in general, how everything that comes to the Orange Felon’s twisted mind comes to reality immediately. They are like zombies obeying their puppet master.
My hope is that their lack of independence and conspiracy in the continued cover-up will haunt them and ruin their careers at midterms and beyond .. They've sold their souls to the devil.
Yes, they have! Part of me wishes the entire GOP would get sucked down to the earth's molten core (i.e., Hell), but the other part is afraid that too many Republicans (white conservatives) would then come flooding into the Democratic Party. The Dems have enough problems to deal with without that.
I don't know, IMO the GOP has done too good a job of demonizing the Democrats.
DINOS certainly exist, but I don't think many of them come from districts that Trump won resoundingly. They are more likely to crop in state legislaures in districts that are very blue. NC has certainly seen than phenomona.
By now I think and hope Dems know who the Republicans are and what they are capable of. We have to shun all of them. Out of politics. They’re like a plague that corrupts everything they touch.
I guess it's to have some real $$ in his pocket to offset his cryptocurrency winnings (not) when the power goes off and that house of cards collapses. But with his brilliant untenable high stakes kick 'em where he thinks it hurts impossible dreamy tarrif solution those greenbacks won't be worth a nickel in the old saying nor a penny in the likely response to another of his regime's briliant wha' moves to banish 1 cent coins from our currency. Yet more examples of how you can't make this stuff up.
I believe the Epstein survivors speaking out today, shows incomprehensible bravery and courage, which is exactly what is needed to expose this heinous Republican coverup.
Every time called senator/house rep have mentioned victims. They deserve justice as the victims. Maxwell deserves to stay in a regular prison and btw was found guilty be jury of her peers. MAXWELL DESERVES NO SPECIAL TREATMENT! LOCK HER UP!!
The survivors are the center of this story, not the politicians scrambling to look righteous. Every system that protected Epstein still runs on the same fuel—power, silence, profit. For these voices to rise in public is more dangerous to the machine than any headline about Trump.
What matters now is that the pressure doesn’t fade when the cameras move on. Files must open. Names must surface. The rot must be dragged into daylight.
Blessed be the ones who speak truth after being silenced, and blessed be the ones who refuse to look away when that truth scorches the powerful.
And then Donnie after from the gold room at Versailles "It's a.hoax. it's a Democrat hoax (after the victims finished saying it is not a hoax, mentioned Clinton, Dershowitz, Lex Wexner, said Epstein kept a picture of Donnie on his desk and one of the victims said she was a Repub and they all said this is not political. D or R). They all said they are terrified, there are hundreds of others too afraid. None of them implied anything about Donnie (probably terrified) which means he's up to his nutsack. HE is terrified. Did you notice the two jets ovedhead while they were speaking to drown them out? You know he sent them. Distract, Deny, delay. This is the only time I have ever or will say I appreciated MTG. Even Bobo. The victims said they want the names of every person who does not vote for the bill. They want transparency. Names redacted but the rest of the files released. They only need two useless Rs to pass this. I cried that Virginia Roberts brother was there and spoke for her. Very moving. Oh, and LOVED how they excoriated Todd Blanche and Ghislaine being moved to a " spa" They were chilled when they heard her lie on tape with Blanche. She not only procured them but participated at times too.
I wrote somewhere (probably on many substacks and have no idea how to find it) when I heard that tape I thought "how easily she lies". I remember one of the victims ages ago saying when they met her she was this well-dressed, rich POSH upper class British with the accent and they felt comfortable and trusted her...until she went in for the kill. That's how she got her victims Now lets see what happens.
I think they are extremely brave to do so. I am also hopeful that we will begin to see some justice where the Epstein files are concerned. The “rules for thee, but not for me” BS has got to stop. No more protecting pedophiles, period.
Watching the statements this morning from some of our reps who heard first hand from the Epstein victims, they looked and sounded both disgusted and shaken up by what they heard. Rep. Stanbury’s statement is going viral.
Graham Platner is a rising star in the Democratic party. All Americans should throw their support behind him. It's critical that he wins the senate seat in Maine.
Let this be the scandal that brings the depth of trump's depravity to light at last. His string of violent distractions is about to fail him before credible testimony by his victims. Thanks for the updates, Scott.
Why was Florida so easy to do this kind of Disgusting, Despicable, & Criminal Behavior in?? Was it's Law Enforcement Unaware, Corrupt, Complicit, or just Stupid? Call lier Acosta before Congress and question him about the Sweetheart Deal he gave Epstein and Why. Who else was involved.
Not only is this regime evil, they're dumb. (They've always been dumb!) They keeping trying to cover this up and the harder they try, the worse it looks for them. Was there ever a time when Republicans had any honor or decency?????
I applaud the survivors for their courage. They were young girls. It’s not easy for them, I’m sure.
“Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein—some of whom shared their stories for the first time ever. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds (maybe thousands) of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government—all the way to the top.” —Rep Melanie Stansbury. Love her!
⬆️"They were young girls. It’s not easy for them, I’m sure."
I listened to part of the press conference.
One of the most diabolical aspects of Epstein's and Maxwell's pedophile ring was that many of the girls were introduced to them by girls whom they considered **friends** - who were themselves victims of the abuse. It sounded like the only way they could escape further sexual abuse themselves was to help recruit new victims. It was like a perverted multi-level marketing scheme.
Cheryl, I listened to most of the press conference, also. You’re right, and I thought about that pyramid scheme too. They were just girls— trapped. It’s horrible! Epstein and Maxwell are both vile. And some of them are still afraid, too.
The survivors, who shouldn’t have to speak out, have more spine given what those young girls have been through, than ANY man on Capital Hill who is covering this up. I would ask them - do they have daughters? Wives? Mothers? Probably. How hard is it to make sure children are protected? And get military style weapons off the street while you’re at it. Our country is nothing without our children.

It could not be worse for this President. Stansbury made it quite clear. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/mace-melts-stansbury-stands?r=3m1bs.

Rep. Stansbury is indeed standing tall!
YAAASSSSSS!!
Why are Republicans even playing these games? We’re talking about a pedophile and worse here.
It’s sickening the lengths they’ll go to cover for their god-leader.
That's what I don't get. TRUMP IS IN THE FILES
Next to Epstein, tRump occupies #2 position in the files. He’s in up to his ears, in my opinion.
For whatever reason they bend their knee to this felon-being trying to keep their jobs or/and being threatened to hurt their families- they are traitors to the country. I always wonder what their families think about their treason to their oath to the Constitution.
I think there's some powerful legislators in the Epstein Files. That's another reason.
I understand, but actually I’m talking in general, how everything that comes to the Orange Felon’s twisted mind comes to reality immediately. They are like zombies obeying their puppet master.
Sad and shameful.
Agree
You can bet on it!
My hope is that their lack of independence and conspiracy in the continued cover-up will haunt them and ruin their careers at midterms and beyond .. They've sold their souls to the devil.

There is a report that Trump is taking $15 donations so he can go to Heaven. Okay now I am laughing again hard. How sick and twisted is that?

It sure does Lori!
Here's an interview with some of the victims who are speaking out today.

Unbelievable bravery for sure.
Every time called senator/house rep have mentioned victims. They deserve justice as the victims. Maxwell deserves to stay in a regular prison and btw was found guilty be jury of her peers. MAXWELL DESERVES NO SPECIAL TREATMENT! LOCK HER UP!!
You mean LOCK HER BACK UP!!

Blessed be the ones who speak truth after being silenced, and blessed be the ones who refuse to look away when that truth scorches the powerful.
The women speaking out have far more courage than most people. I support and admire them for what they are doing.
And then Donnie after from the gold room at Versailles "It's a.hoax. it's a Democrat hoax (after the victims finished saying it is not a hoax, mentioned Clinton, Dershowitz, Lex Wexner, said Epstein kept a picture of Donnie on his desk and one of the victims said she was a Repub and they all said this is not political.

So right!
I think they are extremely brave to do so. I am also hopeful that we will begin to see some justice where the Epstein files are concerned. The “rules for thee, but not for me” BS has got to stop. No more protecting pedophiles, period.
Same here Lisa
Do you think Moses Mike Johnson knows what his bible says about these crimes he’s covering for?
House Speaker is a duplicitous idiot .. he'll be done for, I hope when the truth finally rises like oil on water!!!
I don’t even think he cares what the Bible says
Not a chance in you know the expression.
The Republican Party likes to call itself the Party of Family Values. I didn’t realize family values included protecting pedophiles.
Even the mafia considered itself “family.”
Watching the statements this morning from some of our reps who heard first hand from the Epstein victims, they looked and sounded both disgusted and shaken up by what they heard. Rep. Stanbury’s statement is going viral.
Rep. Stansbury was a rock when she spoke. Yet I think it still rattled her.
I agree

It was before my time, but I think Eisenhower commanded respect. But since Nixon, the GOP has been going downhill.
When Lincoln was POTUS
And not since.
I applaud the survivors for their courage. They were young girls. It’s not easy for them, I’m sure.

For the victims who are bearing witness today, there are thousands of men and women who will not be in Washington!
Please keep that
in mind when they speak of their ordeals!
Parents of the Island children, who allowed their children to go to Epstein’s Island for “modeling” careers, will not be heard!
There are thousands more that will not be heard !
This must be brought into the light!
Great points!

Bravery at its best! I am so proud of them. The orange faced coward will need to change his diaper today.
