[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read Nobody’s Girl and it is heartbreaking.  There is much left to be released and I hope this ramps up the pressure to do so.   Anyone on the fence about buying it, I urge you to do so.  There is. O amount of money that is too much for her family to receive.

This book should be required reading by EVERY MEMBER OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE!!!

I hope there is an investigation proving if she really committed suicide.[/quote]

95% of Congress men and women care way more about protecting their mega-donor network who have close ties to people implicated in the Epstein files than they do this girl's sad story.[/quote]
Nearly half the House has voted to release the files.[/quote]

In many cases you'll see politicians support something they know won't pass in order to remain on the right side of the issue in the eyes of their constituents without passing something their puppet masters don't want. This is a strategic advantage those in the minority party typically have. [/quote]
If you have some evidence that all the members of Congress who’ve come out in support of releasing the files, please share it.

Otherwise, your argument that “everyone in Congress is corrupt on this issue” is a) baseless, and b) seems like the type of low-effort propaganda designed to disengage voters from the political process.[/quote]

The 95% figure was an exaggeration on this particular issue. There is some layer of moral existence remaining in most members of Congress and this issue tugs at that moral existence. Otherwise, the fact that all but a handful of our Congress men and women are subject to undue influence from mega-donors is well known by both political insiders and outsiders.

If you think claims of widespread corruption in Congress are "baseless", you're either a complete and utter idiot or you have some financial stake in the game such as being one of the sleazy RNC or DNC operatives. Or perhaps you could be one of the corrupt politicians or mega donating entities attempting to blow smoke in mirrors. You're fooling no one!![/quote]
“Everyone is corrupt! It’s all hopeless! Let’s not do anything!”[/quote]

Slow your roll, Ricky. "Everyone" is not corrupt. There are a handful of Congress men and women who continue to cling to their integrity. Not doing anything is never the solution a huge problem!

The influence of money in politics is obviously that huge, long term problem we're dealing with. Expecting the same politicians corrupted by money to make legislative changes to campaign finance laws is wishful thinking. We must somehow force complete reform/overhaul of our two major parties or since they are private entities that can fail, our conservative and progressive electoral bases need to coalesce behind new parties with functional leadership. There may be other routes to a solution. I'm all ears.

This won't be an easy fix but it's a necessary fix or else our democracy as we know it is headed to a very warm place in hand basket.[/quote]
