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.

    Someone wants you mad at Dems right now, is how I read this one.

    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’s going to be no justice at all for those in power until after a successful midterm rout.

    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.
