Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

"He stole her. And by the way, she had no complaints about us."

Pumpkin Tits is referring to Virginia Giuffre, the 16-yr-old Mar-a-Lago MASSEUSE! She was recruited from there by Maxwell, then raped by Epstein & maybe Prince Andrew. She later killed herself. Then again, Epstein "killed himself" too.
