With the House of Representatives scheduled to leave for summer vacay Thursday, Speaker Mike “Don’t Tell My Son There’s Porn on My Phone” Johnson is turning off the lights a day early.
Why? Because he wanted to deny Democrats the chance to force votes on having the Department of Justice make the Epstein files public, the New York Times reported.
“It reflected how deep divisions among Republicans on the matter have now paralyzed the House, as Republicans seek to avoid a politically perilous vote on a matter that is confounding President Trump and roiling their MAGA base,” the paper said.

On Monday evening, GOP House members “abruptly recessed a key Rules Committee meeting,” Newsweek said, that effectively halted legislative business for the week and blocked a plan Dems had to vote to release materials related to Epstein and allegations of trafficking underage girls.
Johnson, a devout Christian who supports an adjudicated rapist serving as president, said there was nothing time-sensitive for the House to vote on.
“My belief is we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing, and if further congressional action is necessary or appropriate, then we’ll look at that,” he is quoted as saying. “But I don’t think we’re at that point right now because we agree with the president.”
I wonder if “the space to do what it is doing” means the convicted felon has time to continue finding ways to distract from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and an institute a coverup?
Like having DNI Tulsi Gabbard accuse former President Barack Obama of treason for trying to undermine the elderly golfer’s presidency?
And the president, sitting in the Oval, actually saying Obama is guilty of treason.
Or like having AG Pam “Blondi” Bondi releasing FBI documents related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server?

ICE Thug-Leader Tom Homan got on the MSNBC TV machine Tuesday to say that the roving bands of masked kidnappers will stay masked until members of Congress stop comparing ICE to Nazis.
“How do we get rid of the masks?” he said to chief suck-up host Joe Scarborough. “Stop the hateful rhetoric.”
Actually, Homan, who seems to be slightly inebriated every time he’s on television, said, “Stop the hateful rettic.”
He said it twice as heard in the clip below.
You know what, Homan, if you want your ICE members to stop being compared to Nazis, here’s a suggestion:
Stop letting them act like Nazis.
