      Unfortunately, without the numbers in the house and the senate, they won’t be able to do anything. They can present articles of impeachment all they want, but they won’t get the votes from republicans.

      Their best bet is to sway the court of public opinion to help flip the house and the senate. But there are so many people who won’t give a crap, and will continue voting for the guys protecting pedophiles.

        Stop pretending like politicians are going to save us. 95% of them are complicit or are simply making too much money from the status quo to want to change things. We’re going to have to actually roll up our sleeves and organize ourselves if we want real change.

          They don’t seem to care anymore and just let them do whatever. I’d rather everything was shutdown than continue another day of doing what a child rapist wants to do

        Democrats were in power for 4 years without releasing the files. Why would they now? Or ever?

          Because their donors were in them. They didn’t want to reveal they go to the same island.

            Yes, that’s why they didn’t release them. I asked, what’s changed that means they would release them now all of a sudden?

            No matter how many seats they flip, they don’t seem unable, they seem disinclined. When they were able, they chose not to.
