    I’m not sure what I’m going to say, but I think you’re wrong. What they are going to do is not a law; Congress does more and has more authority than just legislate. If I’m not mistaken, the idea is to give a direct order to the Justice Department to release the files; they don’t need to go to the Senate or through Trump’s office. That’s why they’re so nervous in the government; otherwise, what would be the point of seeing Trump acting crazy about it?

      Lol, it’s a bill dude. That’s how bills work. The bill is called The Epstein Files Transparency Act. There is nothing special about this bill that would make it go straight from the House to the Justice Department. It still has to go through the Senate and be signed into law by the president before it takes effect.

      You fell for the bait. And I get it, you’re probably scrambling now, looking up the actual reality of the situation going “No… No, that can’t be right… If that was how it worked then all this would be meaningless, and if this is all meaningless then why would every news site and social media board be talking about it as if it wasn’t? People would have to be complete, ignorant, fucking idiots for that to be the case…”

      And now you know why I’m going bald.

        And now you know why I’m going bald.

        With how baldness-inducing this mess is even from the other side of the world, I express my sincere condolences for your hairline.
