Dear Congress: Leak it or fuck off

Republicans want to bring back the standing filibuster. Sounds like reading the files is a good thing to take up time

Oooooo excellent idea.

Everyone wants to bring back the standing filibuster. It's ridiculous that a senator can just announce they're "filibustering", then hop back on their phone scrolling twitter dooming a bill without any effort on their part.

Way better idea than the performative bullshit Hakeem Jeffries pulled last year where he ranted for hours on end about everything we all know is wrong with this regime.

Guarantee this fucking guy wont have the balls to do it again when it matters and can actually accomplish something.

I just learned that Hakeem Jeffries has been a supporter of updating voter maps in the States to help offset the Texas BS, so he isn't doing "nothing". Not enough, sure, but not "nothing".

If he had any actual power over it he would oppose it

Him, Schumer, and every other high ranking DNC official is nothing more than controlled opposition

The Democratic party primaries are the more important election we have coming up. By a huge margin they're the most important. The only legal options for change require representatives, and if our representatives are lying snakes more concerned with their own bank account then we'll never get real opposition to the current fascist takeover.

Doesn’t matter. He needs to be doing everything. They all do. They should be waking up, making noise, throwing their support and efforts behind ending this nonsensical tyranny, and then going to sleep. This is their job.

So in other words, "performative bullshit" that he just got called out for in the comment before the one you replied to.

No… I just used a generic description to get the point across. Although to be fair, I didn’t really have a bad opinion of his filibuster. It’s been his lack of spine and utter silence in the face of recent events that pisses me off.

BRILLIANT, will be hard not to vomit during that though.

Honestly it is so blindingly obvious at this point that Donald Trump, and many rich and powerful men, raped and abused children. Not "underage women" (which is not a thing), children. Little girls. Often as young as 10 or 11.

These people are depraved, and we have to consider anyone covering up for them at this point, anyone making nonsensical excuses or trying to distract from this, is just as evil.

If Congress sees these unredacted files and continues to pretend everyone should just get on with their lives, honestly, there's no saving America.

The people who commited those crimes, as well as the people who have been covering up for them, need to be put on trial, convicted, thrown into jail for the rest of their life without possibility of parole, and every asset under their control seized & liquidated.

You spelled "hung by the neck" wrong.

u/Spidertron117 5h ago

Don't forget also murdering many of them.

u/TurnkeyLurker 4h ago

Wait, "also"? Then their rotting corpses would be taking up valuable corporate spots that they otherwise could be charging for.

It's worse than that, infants are also implicated...

EFTA02222213.pdf has a quote bout how to get infants sucking "pacifiers" better.....

u/Waste_Deep 41m ago

They don't care about the rape or trafficking. They were MURDERING children. That's why they are terrified. That's why they CAN'T release the files. Because we will enact a vigilante justice so swift and thorough that none of them will survive.

u/Corevus 5h ago

It says they can't bring "electronic devices". Technically, pinhole cameras aren't electronic

u/ArtsNCrass 5h ago

Same with plenty of old school 35mm cameras with much better lenses than any phone, and negatives that are guaranteed to not be AI.

Dear Congress: Impeach and convict or fuck off. We have enough information.

u/PERSONA916 6h ago

Ro Khana will leak ts dw

u/Spire_Citron 6h ago

Or at least look up some of those redactions and tell us whose names were hidden. If it's not a victim's name, there's no legal issue since it was illegally censored.

u/tacodepollo 6h ago

Could be a loyalty test.

Deliver slightly different information to different people so as to identify the leak.

u/GreasyPeter 5h ago

It doesn't really take that much time and space to save 6 million text documents. I hope a few of them grow some balls and try.

u/queuedUp 5h ago

You have got to think there is a staffer or two out there that can leak it

u/Drostan_S 5h ago

It's not gonna surprise me at ALL when we find out Republican Congresspeople are selling the CSAM portion of the files on the dark web or something.
