This Congress will be remembered for more than a do nothing body ! It will be remembered for enabling the worst President in our 250 yr history. A presidency of depravity , heinous crimes against children , amoral , grift and brutality towards so many innocents. Murder is not absent. Such a colossal disgrace to our history.

Yes, and let's not forget the role mcconnell and a good chunk of the john roberts' scotus have played.

You are correct that there are so many held accountable for this administration to prevail. Future readers of this chapter of our history will certainly question where the majority of the populace were and why did they permit such carnage to exist. As we do now of WWII GERMANY !!!

Good morning and thank you . Pam Bondi makes John Mitchell look like a saint in comparison.

Pam Bondi is the Female Trump & I'm sure we can call her a Pedophile Protector... YES!

OF DONALD J TRUMP.

My gut tells me this Bitch IS a part of the Trump-Epstein-CHILD SEX RING 'CULT!'...

IN THE STATES & ABROAD.

It must be destroyed, Now, while we have access to their FILES!

I thank you for your courage, grit and tenacity and for travelling with the survivors which cannot have been easy. I hope that you are surrounded by true friends. In the Irish language, mo chara means my friend. Mo Chairde is the plural. Anam means soul. Anam Chara and Anam Chairde are soul friends. There should be a fada on some of these a’s . I am using my phone and do not know how to add this here.

I just wanted to wish you well and send a blessing to you. I am almost 70 and I have never felt so much spiritual challenge in the external world as I have since 2022

or really since 2016. All this sadism and cruelty, corruption and perversion may have always present but perhaps less visible. I hope the pure hearted Buddhist monks who trekked 2,300 miles to sow seeds of peace and were welcomed and followed by many have helped to transform our interconnected world towards health and happiness.

Blessings to you and all the pure hearts striving to co-create the Kingdom of Love and Mercy.

More than being remembered as the do nothing Congress, the legacy of today's Republicans will that they enabled the mutation of the Grand Old Party of Honest Abe Lincoln into the (lower case gop) gutless obsequious puppets of pathological liar Donald Trump. There is more backbone in a bowl of chicken noodle soup than in the judicial and legislative leadership of today's Republican party. For the Republican party, Epstein is the ghost of every Christmas yet to come.

My gut tells me there are MANY Pedophiles in The Republican Party & their Evil Fake 'christians!'

Ditto for the Dems - do you feel “led” by Hakeem or Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer?

It is easy for the Corporate Media to accuse the Dems because we are not hideous monsters & assaulters like THEM! But if you open your Eyes, it has been DEMS with A handful, of 'Moral' Republicans, who have stood with The Epstein-Trump, Survivors & PUSHED Congress for The RELEASE OF TRUMP'S HIDDEN, TRUMP-EPSTEIN-FILES. It's no wonder Trump HID them for so long & then PURPOSEFULLY, REDACTED HIS PEDOPHILE 'FRIENDS!' AND, Punished the Survivors even more by UnRedacting their Personal Information!

Trump deserves to be done in like He & The Saudi Prince, filleted The Journalist, Khashoggi, and all the Torture of the Children by Epstein & TRUMP. This POS, Trump is Below what Epstein IS. I know, from the Epstein Files, that THIS ' IS' A SATANIC CULT!

Trump & This Cult spent years before Trump's First STEALING of The potus election, accussing Hilary & Dems of what they Called 'Pizza-Gate', which is CODE for This Cult Trump leading, Now!

Trump is a mfking ball-dangler & deserves to be punished (and others!), in a way that keeps him 'alive & burning, suffering, in that walking dead body.

That's like comparing oranges to bowling balls. The way Republicans are looking the other way at the venality, cruelty, corruption and blatant incompetence of the Trump regime is unprecedented in American history. I do feel "led" by M'polis mayor Jacob Frey who inspired his community to stand up for their neighbors by standing up to Trump's ICE thugs. I do feel "led" by Jamie Raskin who has called out Trump's stooges for their mendacity. But with very few exceptions (most of whom have been kicked out of the party) not only do I not feel led by Trump's republican party, I feel absolutely betrayed. Which I'm certain will be the judgment of history.

Ghislane Maxwell is famously quoted as saying "Those girls were nothing". My bet is that

" those girls" are the ones that bring down the whole sordid, lawless Trump Regime. Poetic justice.

I keep seeing Lesley Groff in the files, Epstein’s assistant. Surely she knows all the dirt. Have you talked to her?

Lise McClendon's avatar

She should be subpoenaed

I think bill barr knows a lot too

I loved the term "Omerta", Tara. Being originally from NJ, I am well versed on the term 😉. Pammie Jo was looking terrified that "Don Trumpio" would look disapprovingly on her resistance level and have someone "take her for a ride". We could only be so lucky.

Her low-rent and low intelligence performance in front of the HoR was pathetic and cast the US in a bad light around the world. My international colleagues are both amused (they laughed their @$$ of on our last meeting) and scared at the untethered to reality nature of our government officials. One good thing was that Rep. Lieu caught her lying to Congress. Of course she got her panties in a twist at the accusation, but the accusation was true. So, when will Pammie Jo indict Pammie Jo?

Thanks Tara: Yes the ghost of Epstein keeps showing up. I was disgusted with the Nations Attorney General ,, the way she treated the survivors. They should all march right into Patels office and ask for their personal 302 documents. I don't know what the DOW had to do with anything regarding the survivors. Bondi may have got the economy mixed up with the justice department.

Oh Donnie boy,

the lies,

the lies,

they follow you!

You and friend Ghislaine

took their innocence

and left their flowers dying

'Tis you, it’s you must go!

Excellent article, Ms. Palmeri! This is the most important issue in my mind, as it spans multiple administrations, both US parties, and crosses borders. Justice for all the victims must be achieved.
