How could he win a peace prize when all he does is retribution and violence - bombing boats, sending in troops to peaceful cities, locking up families and putting them in concentration camps, indicting people he doesn't like, threatening people who do not like what he likes, raging in hate speech

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

When/if we ever do have a vote in the House on releasing Epstein files, it will get more than 218 votes. Probably many more. That’s because Republican cowards are happy to hide behind Mike Johnson’s obstruction now, but when it comes time to vote many won’t dare vote no.
