As southern Arizona voters in the state’s 7th congressional district head to the polls Tuesday to fill a vacancy in the U.S. House, they are poised to revive a major headache for House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Trump administration.

Both the Democratic frontrunner, Adelita Grijalva, and her Republican challenger, Daniel Butierez, have publicly expressed their intent to provide the deciding signature on the discharge petition to circumvent Johnson and force a House vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.

and her Republican challenger, Daniel Butierez, have publicly expressed their intent

People say a lot of things to get elected. What happens after is a whole different thing. Trump was adamant about releasing the Epstein files during the election....

They say whatever ever the people want to hear until elected, then it all about making money for themselves.

I'll believe it when I see it. So many things are supposed to blow up in the Republicans' face, or wear the MAGA base thin, or create widespread discontent, yet Trump is still here and stinking up the place like a really tenacious fart in a particularly slow-moving elevator.

I am honestly at the place where I no longer believe any consequences will come until there is a violent upheaval.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 12 points 7 hours ago

That is my opinion too. The United States is past the point where it can even hope to survive without a civil war.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Even then, I won't believe it until his head's on a pike.

That's right. If actions don't align with words, don't trust words.
