Joe Biden emerges from forced retirement on second anniversary of CRINGE video that unraveled his presidential campaign and catapulted Trump to the White House

Thomas Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein is furious that Massie is pushing to release rest of the Epstein files because it threatens to expose powerful people across both parties. Gallrein views Massie as a serious threat to the R and D establishments

…He believes Epstein files should only be handled through partisan channels.

“The way he goes about things, he leaves a trail of disaster behind him.”

“He can’t go to Speaker Johnson.”

That’s certainly one interpretation. Tuesday is primary day in Kentucky — afterward we’ll discover whose opinion matters on all sorts of subjects.

THE USA basic rule of Law is: EQUAL JUSTICE.
We MUST NOT have an immune Elite or Political Class, that are exempt from the laws any other US Citizen is held to.

PREDICTION.
Before the 2028 election, we will see some dead, very old, or hospital bedridden Epstein associates / Island visitors named, as sacrificial lambs to appease the voters.

But we'll either never see all the real names, or not for 60+ years.

Seriously! Given the creativity of AI ability to Modify/Forge documents and video's. What can be trusted now, after its been in the hands of possible guilty parties since 2019, (7+ years)?

Also, whoever is elected, and has access to the files, has a monopoly on Political, Judicial and $$$$ Blackmail.

But as far as Child Sex Crimes read the laws carefully.
"...shall preclude such prosecution during the life of the child, or for ten years after the offense, whichever is longer." So now I wonder how many are dead already, and the 10-year limit is coming up or has passed?

#5  Massie isn't much of a Republican.

#6  It's Ok that Massie doesn't like Trump. It's even OK if he tries to screw him - that's politics after all. What's NOT OK is that he tries to screw Trump by screwing us. Take a seat - your dance is done.

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy ‐ who voted to convict Trump ‐ loses Louisiana primary
[NY Post] Sen. Bill Cassidy was denied a third term by Louisiana Republican primary voters Saturday, as he was projected to finish third behind Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) and state Treasurer John Fleming.

With 92 percent of the vote in, Letlow was leading with 44.8 percent and Fleming was in second with 28.4%, and were projected to be the winners by the Associated Press — while Cassidy brought up the rear with 24.7 percent.

Letlow and Fleming will now advance to a June 27 runoff, with Letlow favored to secure the nomination on the strength of President Trump’s endorsement, which he reiterated with a post on Truth Social Friday as he returned to Washington from a two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

After the election was called, Trump took a victory lap on social media.

“Bill Cassidy . . . voted to impeach me on preposterous charges that were fake then, and now, are criminally insane!” he wrote on Truth Social. “His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it’s nice to see that his political career is OVER!”

He might as well switch parties and join the Liberal Democrats next election. Because his name is forever engraved in stone as a US traitor.
