It's interesting that folks who think that even if the discharge petition forces a vote in the House, that it will lead to the immediate release of the Epstein files, even if the majority of the House votes to do so.

In a discussion of the failures of the U.S. healthcare system, someone said, "... the whole system needs to be rebuilt."
My response:
Before that, we need an electorate with a clue. Most know that the U.S. healthcare system is dysfunctional, but they know little beyond that.

To the folks who despise capitalism, however they conceive it (probably in its absolute, Any Randian form), who are appalled that people in the U.S. are lining up at food banks -- and yes, that is appalling:

How come, when Congress unplugs the U.S., waits, and then plugs it back in, it's just as screwed up *after* the reboot? Does our disk have a format error?

There's a special election coming up to fill an empty House seat in a heavily GOP district (TN-07). Johnson is not going to do anything until after that election. If the Republican wins (likely), then Grijalva's vote to force a full-House vote on releasing the Epstein files will be canceled out.

Someone with cognitively well-functioning would realize, at least after a few years, that the MoCA is not an intelligence test. It's used to diagnose mild cognitive impairment.
We don't know how Trump actually did the times he took that test.

We're stuck between squishy centrists who will sell their soul at the drop of a hat, and puritanical lefties who will throw every needy person under the bus "for the cause" (the cause varies per far lefty); they're merely collateral damage; the elite lefty is never the one damaged).

It turned out that Trump's own staff accidentally disabled the escalator when they ran up it, ahead of Trump, and his own staff, which was operating the teleprompter, screwed that up too.

Jerome Powell spoke and was interviewed today at a conference in R.I. He's very bright, articulate, and practical, but when he says inflation is moderate, he doesn't grasp how difficult it's getting for those with lower incomes to live. The cost of food, for instance, has SPIRALED.

Instead of the usual banal Kirkoid disclaimer, I'll just say,
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
It's what Charlie wanted, after the blowback that followed that moral paragon's capitulation to Trump. What's more moral than a flip-flop?
