Bill and Hillary Clinton refused on Tuesday to testify in the House’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation, escalating a monthslong battle with its Republican leader, Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, who quickly said he would take steps to hold them in contempt of Congress.

    Not my tempo, though I do share the sentiment. I don’t think their ‘dynasty’ still has legs though, so I’m trying to figure out how they matter, except as a politically convenient punching bag. Someone wants you mad at Dems right now, is how I read this one.

    There’s going to be no justice at all for those in power until after a successful midterm rout. If the greyfaced old pedos (GOP) hold onto Congress, the won’t be a 2028.

      I mean I’m cool with that forever tbh. The Dems gave the keys of the kingdom to the orange fascist, and they are more than complicit in creating the conditions for a fascist takeover.

      There wasn’t justice on Epstein the last time the Dems were in power so I don’t see why we should trust them a second time 🤷‍♂️

        You’re being a little one-note, right now. I get the anger and I don’t think we disagree on much, but I’d rather not point that anger at each other.

          Yeah I’m not mad at you, I’m mad at them. Sorry if I came off that way. I’m trying to be constructive but also take a firm stance against the Epstein class, you know?

            That’s creditable. We all hate the situation we’re in, and I see so few ways for things to improve. I have to spare a thought for the people more vulnerable than me whose lives are on the line, while knowing that I’m tied to a chair and asking for the good cop to come back; as soon as we get the chance, we’d best be rid of them both.
