Why aren't they fighting about the Epstein files though? Has that fight gone away already?
Still happening for some portion of MAGA / republicans, just less focus on it from them at the moment. For a recent example
July 30th: Thomas Massie: ".@SpeakerJohnson has been promoting this non-binding resolution, hoping to give cover to those who don’t want a full release of the Epstein files.
Embarrassingly section 3 of his resolution refers to section 2, which doesn’t exist! Thank you @RepMcGovern for highlighting this."

Section 2 will be added at a later date after the crowning cermony.
While I don't know for sure (prefer to not go down that ally), I do know is that they're ironically trying to distract us with is "Russia Russia Russia!"
All signs point to Epstine/Maxwell being intelligence of some sort. Likely Mossad and/or CIA, same thing.
And 95% of the US government on both sides of the aisle are funded and under the thumb of AIPAC...
So it all seems to playing out exactly as one would expect.
We the people have to keep the pressure on them all
Can you please give some sources for those claims? 'Cause all signs point to a lot of politicians being implicated with Epstein and want the whole thing gone, and are trying to burry it.
I think there’s other women in our party that are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women
I don't believe for a moment that Greene has suddenly started to ponder the basic principles of governance she's been so happy to disregard.
Usually autocrats ensure their continued power by delivering power and trinkets to their supporters. I can only assume this is why republicans consistently express vapid support for such an obviously inept leader.
It really feels like Greene has been pushed off Trump's teat and she has decided to shit the bed on her way out. This seems a lot more on-brand for her.
“I think there’s other women in our party that are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women,” Greene added.
Someone hasn't been paying attention. If she had, she wouldn't be Republican.
She’s upset about how Republican men treat women?
Lmmfao. Is she serious? The whole party loves misogyny and is innately against the sort of progressivism that women’s lib hinged on.
Fundamentalism and patriarchy are kinda their thing, Marge.
In her defense, she is mindbogglingly stupid.
'I never thought leopards would reap MY face,' sobs woman who sowed for the Leopards Reaping People's Faces Party.
I'm sure this was entirely satirical, but just in case: you reap what you sow. As in, "this is what you planted and how you let it grow, now you gotta clean it from your fields."
Sowing is the act of scattering/planting your seeds in the field. Reaping is where you take your sickle (the gardening tool carried by the grim reaper), and actively cut/clear/harvest your fields. When you go to harvest, you want to harvest a lot, but not so much that you're wasting food; you want your produce easily accessible, but not too sparse; and you want to be sure that you're actually going to grow the crops that you want to harvest.
If you're growing corn, you want to be able to walk through your field and to be able to harvest systematically, so you'll likely want to plant the corn just densely enough to grow in rows so that you can walk/work your way through them. If you haphazardly plant your corn, you'll find some stalks didn't grow properly due to overcrowding, you can get lost in thick forests of corn, and your harvest will be tedious and dangerous as you trip over slashed stalks.
Also, if you're interested in a bunch of pumpkin soup, so you grab random seeds and throw them around, and then blindly water them, you don't get to be surprised when you find a bunch of rotting tomatoes that you should have harvested sooner.
Or, if you're lazy and decide to throw your seed everywhere, you'll usually find that very little grew, or if you sow a small crop because you got tired, you're going to reap a small crop.
Finally, if you're like MTJ and were warned multiple times not to sow your wheat next to the poison ivy, but you decide that poison ivy doesn't deserve its bad rap; you don't get to act surprised when your legs itch and lose skin after you've reaped your wheat, and you don't get to act indignant when no one wants to buy grain from the person who grows things among the poison ivy.
More like: You’re MTG and everyone tells you that poison ivy is not food and if you grow it and eat it you’re going to have a bad time. You plant it anyways and are shocked when the poison ivy you grew makes you sick and itchy when you eat it. You then proceed go complain that you were sold bad poison ivy seeds
Finally doing what the people who elected her wanted
Given what she is saying about genocide, clearly she is has started to hedging the bets now.
No she didn't, and she's a piece of subhuman grool that doesn't deserve a prison cell, let alone public office
Literally?
One can but dream.
