Tuesday

But the Republicans made this monster and feed this monster. Absolutely sure that, in the end, Democrats wouldn't want to know what is in those files exposed to the world anymore than they do.

That was a huge miscalculation. I don't give a shit who is in those files, burn them to the ground. I'm not alone in that sentiment.
Honestly, i think at least 25% or more of their Party will permanently break. I even think it will have a material impact on House and Senate races.

Again, normally I would agree but the Epstein files is not politics as usual. It's a fixed object in the political land, that cannot be avoided or ignored. And Republicans only have themselves to blame for it
