19. Depressingly, It'll take much more than that
Thu Nov 13, 2025, 11:24 AM
Nov 2025

The House votes to release the files. It goes to the Senate and 60 Senators vote to release the files. The bill goes to Trump's desk where it will be vetoed. Getting the files out there after that takes 2/3 of both houses. Do you see it getting 292 votes in the House and 67 in the Senate?

Absolutely right. IMO, they never do the right thing because it's right, only because they fear the consequences ancianita Nov 2025 #21

Since I don't see it getting 60 votes in the Senate, I don't think it has a chance of getting the override votes onenote Nov 2025 #22
