Seems Johnson knows this. Both him and Trump will keep this shutdown going to stop the forced release of these files it seems. Don’t know what kind of plan they’re cooking up though.

    I’m still confused, about how Epstein being suicided in jail during Trump presidency, and conservatives are blaming Hillary.

    As far as conspiracies go, this one is exceptionally stupid

      I’ll say. The first time I heard it, I literally LOL’ed, and thought that somehow they managed to top themselves in idiocy in the “Hillary murder” department.

      I mean, they seemingly think that Hillary somehow killed Scalia and then there was all the 90s black helicopter idiocy of the “Clinton body count” email forwards. And this was even stupider than all that. I mean…WTF? Hillary? How was she going to do anything to Epstein? Pedonald was in the WH and she held no office.

      There are also a lot of people who were in power during Trump’s first presidency who blame things that happened then on Biden. They seem to often choose things close to 2021 so they’re either doing it on purpose or just experiencing the effects of their aged minds blurring things together, combined with unmatched stupidity.

        These people people blamed Obama for 9/11. They’re not to be taken seriously and avoided at all costs.

          The Dunning-Kruger effect, confirmation bias, propaganda and echo chambers prove a potent mixture.

            yhea, but to end up with such twisted view of reality?

            it’s like they watch that episode of Star Trek and laugh how Picard cant count the five lights.
