Almost everybody I passed (about 10/12 people) I asked "Think we'll ever see the Epstein files?
Received dumpie & Congress bashing replies, no one said we didn't need to see them, but the
last 2 turned into a real eye opener.
At self check out these 2 guys (thinking father & son) older one was wearing a 2nd A t-shirt
both had red white & blue hats with sayings. When he seen my anti-MAGAt t-shirt I got a
real dirty look so there's my big mouth again "Think we'll ever see the Epstein files?".
Hardly got a word in after that, mainly just agreeing with what he was saying. He started
talking about how the rich use their money to control us, taking Obama care away from
people were the main 2 subjects he mentioned.
Walking out to my SUV I got to thinking that guy knows trickle down doesn't work even though
he never said trickle down. So talking about the Epstein files can easily turn into a discussion
about the rich and how & why elected Rs are protecting them.
If every one of us started asking strangers at the grocery stores at least once a day "Think we'll
ever see the Epstein files?" and "Why is Congress protecting these pedophiles?", I feel we could
sweep the R party under the rug in the midterms and maybe for 10 or 20 years.
Remember NO ONE LIKES PEDOPHILES ! We need to use this to our advantage.

(21,528 posts)What I've been hearing recently from people around here (my town is 90% R) are saying stuff
they never would have heard on FQX noise. One lady this morning referred to the $190
million dumpie made yesterday off bitcoins and asked me "Why would we want to replace
our monetary system with bitcoins?"
Believe Rs are getting more of their understanding of things from social media. Almost every
underhanded thing we read about on DU that this administration has done and are presently
doing, I'm hearing from total strangers in a town that voted 90% for dumpie. He's losing
his base.
Go ahead and start asking people you know and strangers "Think we'll ever see the Epstein
files?" Rs will not bite your head off with that question and surprise you with answers,
remember no one likes pedophiles.

(21,528 posts)It's why Johnson is dragging his feet in the House, and when Blondi was quizzed about them
she just talks in circles. Before long dumpie will be saying there's no proof he's on the
Epstein list. IMO they have been altered or destroyed.

(21,528 posts)it's best not to say the dirty R word. If Rs think you are bashing their preferred party, they
will turn against you in a heart beat and start attacking you. I learned this the hard way.
We all know it's only Rs protecting all the rich pedophiles, saying Congress works better.

(21,528 posts)Yes Ds & Rs have a common ground now and we need to use it to our advantage.
Had a silly thought after signing up for the No Kings event yesterday, I emailed our local coordinator
what she/he would think about if a few of us dressed up like ICE (no carrying guns) with faces
covered with signs saying along the lines "COMING SOON TO A TOWN NEAR YOU" that's
another thing I believe Rs are tired of...ICE

(828 posts)Like the Rumper business owner, who blamed his going out of business on the government's tariff policies instead of Rump and the Rs. It's always the government's fault with Rs in charge and some evil person (Obama, Pelosi, Biden) in charge with the Ds.
