Gotta jump in and say that I don’t think RFK Jr’s position was “pro jab.” He promised not to take away vaccines from those who want them, and maintaining credibility is crucial. Given enough time, the “believers” can be given enough information for their minds to evolve, but a nuanced approach (revealing that the vaccinated get infected, and that alternative treatments work) seems the best way to pry open some minds. Trump can be our wrecking ball. Convincing the masses will take a lighter touch.

I agree. It’s going to take some time to clean up and shift public opinion - I believe RFK will get us there but it’s going to be a lot harder if his own supporters keep freaking out every time he needs to make a strategic side step for two seconds.

RFK Jr will not get out in front of Trump on vaccines. Despite our hopes he'd be different and independent, RFK Jr won't step into the battle over 'vaccines' unless and until his boss, Pres. Trump is ready for it.

In Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has his own thoughts and ideas about 'infectious' disease. He opposes masks, too. Shortly after he took the job in August, 2021 he went to visit legislators in the state capitol. Many were still wearing masks, especially D's. They had individual office policies requiring masks to enter. He knew they were BS, didn't want to wear them, tried to explain the science and the D legislators were angered, ruckus ensued, security got involved, ugly scene. It was widely reported. D's cried he was harming them without a mask, the media took their side - over the top medical doctor in the state. And Gov. DeSantis got involved, told Ladapo to back down and respect the individual legislator's rules.

The lesson Ladapo took from it was not to get out in front of the boss. Despite his expertise and correctness, it was a political firestorm his boss wasn't willing to fight. And that has applied to all health policies he's had since. It gets cleared by the "boss" first if it's remotely controversial.

Same for RFK Jr. This shows us that he will not get ahead of Pres. Trump on health policy. The two days between his first unofficial statement about measles and his official statement he met the political bosses of the administration. Most likely Big Pharma shill Susie Wiles, Trump's Chief of Staff. Who rightly or wrongly calculated that now wasn't the time for the vaccine debate. They are frying other fish they think are bigger and more popular.

The lesson of this story is that Pres. Trump himself isn't anti-vax. He still loves his "miracle OWS vaccine." And his closest advisors do, too. And to the degree that he'll "let Bobby run wild" it will be when/if he's willing to expend political capital to do so.

So the anger and frustration many of us have with the 'betrayal' of RFK Jr should be more appropriately directed at Pres. Trump. RFK Jr, like Joe Ladapo, serves at his boss's pleasure. And won't get out in front of his boss. Meaning any pressure campaign should be directed at Pres. Trump, not RFK Jr.

Unless and until Pres. Trump is ready and willing to take on that fight we will get more mealy-mouthed statements on 'vaccines' from RFK Jr. Who's only recourse is to resign if he disagees strongly enough. Bobby decided now wasn't the time to resign, it wasn't his hill to die on. Like Ladapo has done in Florida, live to fight another day. That's the sad reality of it. And unsurprising with a president who to this day defends OWS. And was re-elected by most on this Stack who feel betrayed by RFK, Jr, despite our opposition to OWS.

That's on us. We negotiated our opposition because the alternative was worse. WE'VE done what RFK Jr just did with respect to 'vaccines.' WE have more work to do to change the political calculus. That's the lesson. Change won't be coming from the top. It will need to come from us. We just have a more sympathetic person in power than we've had before who won't shut us and shout us down. But the real work will remain ours to do.

Okay, so--say that we agree with you on this. (I certainly do) What message should we all be sending to the White House and RFK Jr. over this, and where else would you recommend sharing/posting that message to make sure that it really gets heard and acted on?

Someone needs to spearhead an action plan that we can all get on board with and PUSH.

Expand full comment
Freedom Fox's avatar

Getting it heard is what I've tried to share here on a widely read Stack, to a largely supportive, already converted audience. Guerilla marketing inspired. Familiarizing ourselves with that same strategy, guerilla marketing. Many presentations of it available by searching online. Researching that may inspire other outlets to share.

What should the message be? Still working on that. Obviously we all have our own reasons we don't trust "vaccines." Children's Health Defense (RFK Jr's previous undertaking) has a lot of source materials and messaging to help with that. A review of their website for that type of information - they have a tab with resources to contact elected officials on it, suggestions for what to say. Del BigTree's ICAN is also a good resource for message suggestions. I won't try to reinvent a wheel here that already exists.

Centralized action plans that others can get on board with and push are springing up. Probably even through those same two, many more. We communicate our message first. We share them with others we know share our sympathies. We modify our message for those who aren't where we are, but possibly receptive to a more temperate message. But we have to contact the White House with our message, share our thoughts on the social media accounts of public policy makers we know have Pres. Trump's ear. He has a Truth Social account that allows commenting, we could flood it and the pages of his secretaries - RFK Jr just started one on Truth, and other influencers we know he reads by virtue of his "re-truthing." Same on other social media. And encourage others in our sphere of influence to do the same.

There's not a magic bullet. We are fighting against a narrative that, unfortunately, still has many friends, even supporters of Pres. Trump in it's grip. We plant seeds of doubt for those who will reject a direct presentation of our counter-narrative. We have a lot of work to do. Hard work. The price we pay for not paying attention earlier, for trusting authorities over all those years before we realized they were lying to us. We're down big late in the big game. If we want to overcome the deficit we have to Fight! Fight! Fight! to win.

My experience has been--and maybe yours is different--but people find it easier to support a campaign of this kind if they're offered a simple message to share. Something they can cut and paste or repeat on the phone.

They can always change it if they want, but-- what someone needs to say is something like,

Contact President Trump/RFK Jr/whoever and say, "we know that the only wild measles showing up in this country has been brought over the border by illegals. We also know that the vast majority of the measles outbreaks in the U.S. are the mutated version spread by the MMR.

The public needs confirmation that this is (or is not) the mutated measles from the MMR--and if this is an outbreak among illegals, the public also needs to be informed as to the nature and frequency of these outbreaks WHILE ALSO having someone who is honest and credible explain that there have been NO DEATHS from the measles in the U.S. for over 30 years (since before the MMR), but there have been a significant and highly concerning number of deaths FROM THE MMR in that same time span.

Measles is a common childhood illness. It isn't a danger to anyone who doesn't already have other comorbidities and a compromised immune system.

The focus for health professionals should be on protecting and supporting the health of the immuno-compromised while also being honest about what is really going on so the public can respond appropriately."

And links to methods of contact might also be helpful... But someone else is going to have to post them. I've got another matter I have to deal with and my ability to sit in this chair at the moment is rather limited.

I really don’t understand why RFK,Jr.’s only option would be to resign if he didn’t push the very vaccine that he and Trump (based on Bobby’s input) have indicated could play a big, big role in the explosive, utterly unsustainable growth in Autism.

And I think it’s premature to lay this at the feet of President Trump, who for all we know may be as shocked as the rest of us; given what has come out of Saint Bobby’s mouth up to this point.

"You've convinced me. Now go out and make me do it."

- Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Obama leaned into this quote when passing his Obamacare. I opposed him, he planted a lot of ticking time bombs in his administration that have been blowing up our nation ever since. But he got this aspect of governance, leadership right, as did FDR. We have to make our leaders do our will, even those who tell us they agree with us. That's on us.

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2009/09/10/got-out-and-make-me-do-it

And if you or anyone else thinks that Trump/RFK Jr will "do the right thing" because they know it's right, without us making them do it then we won't be effective and we will lose every single public policy battle we're right about, they know we're right about, because we didn't put enough public pressure on them to do the right thing.

This is Politics 101. And if any reader thinks we need to just be quiet, let our leaders - who we support - do the right thing when there's better timing then we will lose this precious moment in history we have. Passivity is absolutely wrong. Not wanting to "rock the boat" is wrong. Just because we support them and believe they support us isn't enough. We have to MAKE them do what we think is right. It's on us. We have to engage. Period. It's not unreasonable to voice opposition to a policy of leaders we support. Trump must hear from us, as supporters, that we disagree. Passionately and forthrightly enough to "make him do it."

Like the’jab’, the public demanded him in the HHS seat and Trump complied, because, yes, there are ‘bigger fish to fry’ and more urgent cooking times.

But Kennedy’s like to be in power and RFK,Jr. may be getting a rush being this near the top. I have to wonder what thoughts he has for the future.

RFK Jr knows vaccines are bad news. Just give him time to work through all of this. He (like us) is fighting a vaccine cult that has been carefully groomed into belief over the last 100 years, it will not be undone in a few days. It is absolutely a cult because it requires belief and faith, unfounded in science.

In 2015, when I found myself with extra time on my hands, I took a job as a SPED aid in my fairly large local school district for 3 years. The sheer numbers of severely autistic kids was a real eye opener for me, and is when I first began to think that the "crazy conspiracy theorists" could be right about vaccines.

👆Freedom Fox makes an excellent point. Let's channel our frustration and focus on changing/educating hearts and minds in our local environments and give RFK our support that way. He still needs all the help he can get.

Being a bit older than many on here. I remember well that almost all my peers got mealses, mumps, chicken pox.. and survived (along with incurring lifetime immunity). When the shots came out, we did not need them so did not get them. We don't have all the "adjuvants"filling up those syringes in our bodies. The inclusion of those "adjuvants" (alumimium and/or mercury) in so many shots (what, I think ?day's kids are supposed to get some 70-plus vaccines before they escape high school// madness, indeed!!).

My bet is that Kennedy is wise ad savvy enough to have not elected to die on this present hill. He IS, almost certainly, biding his time to wage the real cintest.. the information battle. Watch: he will begin exposing the rotten science involving those adjuvants and their known results in permanently and cumulatively harming brain and nerve system tissues, the very ones that lead to and cause the autism, and other related "prion" diseases. Parkinsons, Guillaine-Barr,, Lou Gherig's, and I forget the 4th just now.

Kennedy I believe will persue the information/education route rather than deploy the cudgel method. The damning research IS there, I've seen much of it which is why I will not take any ore vaccines unless critically necessary. I know precisely WHY my father died of Parkinson's.

The unknown in the room is the effect of the jab induced immunosuppression. We have witnessed the increase in sepsis and in previously rare and polymicrobial infections since the roll out.

I am going to disagree. A friend had a stent due to a heart attack 16 years ago.

The corresponding factor was he had been on the new diabetes/weight loss drug, Majourna. Another revision of Ozempic, and others. All, I am told use mRNA in the formulations. Do I believe the jabs themselves cause heart attacks, I’m not sure, but I believe they weaken our bodies abilities to fight off a variety of illnesses that are leading to all kinds of autoimmune reactions.

I agree. The mRNA jabs cause many problems. Some suspect Spike Protein Endothelial Disease which looks similar to amyloidosis. The proteins build up and cause a host of issues.

IMO, it’s the jabs, not the other meds. No one has revealed the exact anatomical changes (if an autopsy was even done) on the grade school aged children who have died of “heart attacks,” as reported with links by Mark Crispin Miller and his team. My theory is that the known endothelial disruptions from the spike protein and the resistance of the clots to fibrinolysis combine to occlude the arteries. This theory also fits with the too frequent inability to resuscitate a witnessed arrest, despite immediate availability of defibrillators.

I think the idea is that people are getting shingles a lot because before the vaccine the virus was often around in the air, causing everyone to get chickenpox once and providing natural boosters to everyone who had already had it.

Yes, sepsis is on the upswing. If it weren’t for big Pharma, doctors would be using the sepsis protocol of Dr. Paul Marik which includes high doses of intravenous vitamin C and a couple of other nutrients.. It reduces septic deaths by something like 40%.

A non-vaxxed friend who developed severe and long lasting Covid swore that her Vit C and other infusions helped her recover, at home of course. In retrospect, I am forever grateful that she didn’t follow my advice to go to the hospital. O2sat in the 70s. Interesting facts: she was part of a friend group of 4, all exposed and became ill at the same time, presumably from the same source. Two were desperately ill for an extended period of time; two with mild disease, one from each couple.

Do we know whether the child who died in Lubbock received an MMR shot after she was diagnosed with measles? Or whether she had any comorbidities before she caught measles? I have read that she contracted pneumonia while in the hospital, which I understand is not uncommon for someone who is sick enough to be hospitalized with measles.

She came to the hospital with pneumonia and RSV. They gave her the MMR shot which should not have been done because she was already ill and she died. Tested positive for measles because the MMR is a live vaccine so of course she tested positive for measles.

Several unknowns…who is really unvaccinated in reports??? If you are asked when your last MMR was if you cannot give a date, and many of us cannot, then you, even though you are vaccinated, are lumped into the unvaccinated. Also, the MMR vaccine is a live virus vaccine, which means some outbreaks and cases are directly related to vaccine recipients spreading the diseases for which they were vaccinated! Is that the case here? Also, there are wild virus variants of measles, which ARE NOT COVERED by the current vaccine, which may mean that even if you are vaccinated, you are not protected against those wild viruses…maybe you are if the wild virus is similar enough, but maybe you are not, do we know that??? We also don’t know if any of those patients currently ill with measles have any other immune compromising illnesses or issues. Heck, I’d want to know if those ill with the measles were covid jabbed and possibly suffering from Covid jab induced VAIDS! There are so many variables we do not know!

Yes, she died of pneumonia caused by the measles, the most common cause of death when it occurs. She would not have gotten pneumonia if she had not had measles.

I got it and that winter after working 2 days in Peds or petrie dish whichever you prefer; I was the sickest I had ever been and it was with the flu. I hallucinated. My temp was 104 for days. After that I was NO SHOT for me. My family never just ran to the doctors because we couldn’t afford it. Thank god!

Yes, and it’s possible to say the same about vaccines. Much of what is wrong and damaging in the vaccines are in the preservatives and the adjuvants.

My young adult son asked me if he had the measles vax. Concerned because he often flies to Texas. I assured that he had because you could not send your child to school without it. I am of the generation prior to the MMR and I ( and all of my friends and cousins) actually experienced all of those infections (don't refer to them as "diseases"). None of were hospitalized or died. Most were not even very sick. And we had lifelong immunity as evidenced by those of us who had to prove we had adequate Rubella titers to continue working with pregnant woman... But we are the last of our kind. Because there is always some failed immunity from vaccines, I believe we will see more frequent outbreaks over time. And of course allowing thousands of unvaccinated children into the country won't help, except in the long run as THEY will have non-vax immunity from acquiring the infection.

This reaction to cases of measles as if they're emergencies is bizarre, since the mortality rate in the U.S. was so low even before the vaccine was fielded.

I thought the initial argument for the vaccines was that these childhood illnesses were dangerous for adults to get because it made them much sicker than kids? Certainly, I've read that measles outbreaks among US recruits early in WWI were a huge problem heading into the Spanish flu epidemic because these young men often died of pneumonia (because this was pre-antibiotics).

A child that dies of these illnesses has to be very weak for other reasons. I grew up in the 1950s and 60s with a younger sister who had a severe congenital heart defect that compromised her ability to get enough oxygen. The only time the doctors really worried about her catching anything was when I came down with rubella (we called it German measles) on the day my sister was due to be sent home from hospital after open-heart surgery. My mother was told to disinfect the house and get me out of there (I was sent to stay with my grandmother).

Other than that instance, my sister survived all of the other illnesses without having to be hospitalized: measles, chicken pox, mumps, whooping cough, Scarlet fever. While it may be that she had a robust immune system despite her heart defect, the doctors never seemed to be concerned about her catching them as a general principle and they appeared to have been correct.

As Concerned mom says vaccines were given to young soldiers. It was the protocols of the medical profession that harmed them, large doses of aspirin have been mentioned by others for example. It caused the complications just like the COVID 19 scam.

They can even tamper with the care someone is getting in order to steer it. We have already seen they don’t care about gambling with the loss of other people’s lives.

Herd immunity is not a verifible fact. It's an unproven theory. aka a fairy tale. Symptoms of measles are also the same symptoms of many other diseases. There is no way to truly diagnose a case of measles. No one has isolated any measles virus and even the supposed creator of the test to determine measles, Enders, showed that the test was a fraud when he created a culture without the alleged measles virus and got the same results. Right there should have been the end of measles and vaccines for measles. I agree that those who wish to poison themselves with vaccines should have that right. Perhaps that will eventually eliminate the stupid part of the gene pool.

I agree, Kathy. And there is still a massive attempt to cover up immune system compromise from the jabs. Going forward for various diseases, viruses, cancers, they can blame “measles” (or whatever the disease du jour will be) for deaths instead of deaths being from immune system compromise that are making people now more susceptible to damage & death.

As a child in the early 60’s, I got two kinds of measles, “3 day” and “hard measles”. 3 day was a breeze. I was sicker and it lasted longer with hard but I got through it, just as I got through mumps and chicken pox. We didn’t die from any of these. We survived and built better immune systems, now pretty much destroyed for many of us as seniors, and years of flu, pneumonia, shingles, and covid shots.

There was a well publicized outbreak in Disney World, a couple years ago, and 70% of the adults and children who ended up with measles had been vaccinated. It is also easy to test and find out that the outbreak is often caused by the vaccine strain, as opposed to the wild virus. Vaccinated, people shed, and many viruses are always found in the human gut and waste water. There are measles outbreaks every year. Of course this was seized upon by everyone who wants to smear Kennedy or Trump. There is no way RFK changed his mind about this. He was threatened with something. It was reported by a whistleblower on X that the six-year-old child who died had pneumonia. Not something that the measles causes. I’m just hoping that they allow him to conduct some kind of safety trials, or post vaccine follow up studies, which have never been done. He always said that his aim is transparency and informed consent. If we were allowed to study it, we could determine which children might be vulnerable to particular vaccines .We don’t have this now. Every single vaccine causes harm in some people. That is why the company have 100% liability.

That doesn’t mean it was “from” them. The child was from their community.

RFK Jr.'s concession to measles vaccination was almost certainly, as Childers suggests, a tactical retreat. He's giving up ground now so he can strengthen his forces in what will surely be an even more intense attack later. The media has whipped up so much fear in the public that taking a "scientific" view of the MMR vaccine was inevitably going to be mistimed. When the truth comes out, as it surely will, that the girl died "with " measles and not necessarily "from" measles, the HHS team will be prepared to drop some science truth bombs on the public that will change the narrative. RFK Jr. has certainly not changed his opinion about the vaccine. The science remains the same, and it supports his overall position favoring informed consent.

The measles story is a clear example of a double standard. "Patient privacy" is asserted on a measles death if you question the health of the patient. And yes, I am rightly accused of lacking any sort of empathy because "this is the death of a child." Yes, it is the death of a child that you, the media, are irresponsibly using to push a certain agenda. So...completely okay to exploit the death of a child to push an intervention, but it's not okay to scrutinize the history of that child to defuse the fear and panic to motivate vaccine uptake?

Yet, if someone dies due to the MMR vaccine, it is said that "they were unhealthy." So then, choose, either you can no longer discuss the death of a child and their patient history, or all pertinent details should be revealed in all cases.

Here is what I do know: the mainstream media has a history of omitting details not pertinent to their narrative.

I've never quite understood why patient privacy is relevant for someone who has passed away. How is a dead person still considered a patient?

The health version of eminent domain, if you will.

The question of vaccine causation of autism remains unanswered due to the feds collusion with big pharma and the resultant malfeasance and suppression of credible evidence.

What would be best is an HHS agency that firmly remains disconnected from ALL conflicts of interest in EVERY industry, and remains true to the science - unmovable on the highest standards required for any public health policy, recommendation, or claims. Sort of how the Supreme Court is supposed to be above the muck that the lower courts swim in, our HHS should be above the muck too and impenetrable to manipulation; the gold standard to follow but not without the ability to engage and openly debate their recommendations. (The problem is they have made everyone believe that they have been the gold standard all along, but they refused to be questioned or challenged, and that’s why it’s so hard to change.)

All states should adhere to proper uncompromised, gold standard scientific testing/analysis methods and reporting of their claims, or face significant fines and consequences for misleading their citizens. That’s what I thought the federal government was for, to protect citizens from harm both foreign and domestic. States are domestic. They should be allowed their sovereignty to handle most things in government according to their citizen’s will, but they should not be allowed to run roughshod over the Constitution or lead their people into clear and significant harm. If they truly believe vaccines protect their citizens from harm then they need to present the uncompromised science that supports that belief, or back off.

Like I would not think a state should ever be allowed to pass mandates to vaccines, or impose consequences to not complying, and some kind of law needs to exist at the federal level to prevent that, without interfering with what the state chooses to make available to its citizens. I would think that’s the purpose of an HHS department. A federal watchdog. Obviously very dangerous when infiltrated by dishonest brokers.

re: “Gov. Newsom orders California state workers to return to office 4 days a week."

In Arizona, I had to get my expiring driver's license renewed. I have one of the type referred to as gold star because I previously had presented all my citizenship documents (travel ready). I called the MVD help line, after waiting 20 mins a courteous female helper came on the line. I asked her if she was in the office where I live. She said No she worked at home as part of a "Call Center". I explained my situation and asked her what additional documents I needed to renew my license. She asked if this was my first renewal of the gold star license. I said yes. She said all the documents I previously submitted would be necessary, including my birth certificate, passport, proof of address, etc. I asked her why, she said she couldn't answer why. I went to the MVD and presented my expiring driver's license and they renewed it without requiring me to provide any additional documents. I did not ask the MVD agent - who was actually working in an office - about it.

The best part of President Trump shutting off military aid is watching Europe spend much more than they normally commit to.

The coup de gras will be when when Europe sends their troops to Ukraine for the next three years minimum

The populace will revolt as all their tax dollars will be spent on the liberal’s Muslim invasion and Ukraine’s rebuild/peace keeping force

I’m so relieved that the US taxpayers will be supporting an America First approach we have much to fix here

Thuletide posted this about the size of Europe's military vs Russia and Ukraine.

If you can't open the TG link he is on Twitter too. Bottom line in 2024 Russia has 1.5 million, Ukraine 800k, UK 138k, France 204k, Poland 216k, Germany 185K

So far the only counties in the EU that support sending their troops is France and UK

Italy just told Stermer and Macron to pound sand

If he gets in line, I think the war is over. Then we might send humanitarian aid. Like sheets!

The question is - are you better off with near-universal MMR vaccination and few cases of measles, or less MMR and more cases? I'd opt for more measles, fewer jabs. It's inevitable that with declining MMR jab uptake, there will be measles outbreaks. Any fool knows that. So, since this admin seems very well-prepared, the opposite of Trump 1.0, I presume they have a strategy to counter the coming attacks when measles cases spike. I sure hope so, anyway. Not an easy task, given that most of the public is still under the spell of the vaccine religion.

I think we need to shut the measles trackers down.

It can be like any other normal childhood infection. Get it, rest up, get better, move on.

Agree. We all had it when I was a kid. Not only do you get lifelong immunity to measles, there is some evidence having had measles affects your immunity in ways that are useful against cancer and other attacks aside from measles. No such benefits from the jab, quite the opposite.

I had it as a child. While working in a hospital, bored occupational health did a blitz and recommended all employees get a blood test to see what your measles titre was. Everyone got vaxxed who had low titres. Before being forced to be vaxxed, I questioned this since having measles as child. They made the excuse, “it wanes”. Four months later I was was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis along with two other employees, (that I knew of, but likely there were more).

Yes, and so you make a great point.

Taking this shot each individual(their parents, dammit) must be made aware of the alternative[no jab] and what the adverse affects[initially, and for LIFE] if they take the MMR jab, and how bad the measles might be as to symptoms and potential for death, and how it can be prevented with vitamin therapy.

It is commonly believed that the triple valence jab itself has interactions that cause adverse effects. At the very least breaking out the 3 components is reasonable to prevent the confusion of adverse affects and not knowing which direction to regard them-- M, or M, or R?!

I don’t trust the “trackers”. That’s where the deception lies and is supported. We need to hone in on how to prevent the corruption in “testing”and the tampering with the analysis and results of such testing. If they can’t have that leg to stand on their science falls apart. Just like how they defiled the medical journals to prop up their authority. It all needs to be torn down and let real science stand up.

Japan stopped giving the combined MMR in 1993 because of adverse effects and now gives them separately. That would at least be a start for us.

AND why do boys get the Rubella component? - when I was a lad at school it was just the poor females of the species that had to line up to get the German measles injections 💉 🙄

We have forgotten what measles looks like, and how mild it usually is. And somehow seem to accept the 1/36 kids neurologically harmed on the spectrum.

I see the democrats are promising "defiance" when President Trump addresses Congress tonight.

I half expect them to break out into a Māori haka dance en masse on the floor of the chamber during Trump's address as they continue to beclown themselves.

Should be an interesting night.

I’m expecting mass arrests of criminal government officials.

One by one, issued an arrest warrant, cuffed and paraded out!

If the republicans were smart they would counter every “guest” the democrats bring (fired federal employees) with equal representation of North Carolina residents, pipeline workers, Covid era job losses, families who lost people to open border crimes, etc etc. If the Dems are going to bring show and tell, then we should too but double the numbers.

Speaking of dancing, I found it very interesting to see those who received the Epstein files did a little coordinated dance. That doesn’t come off in step organically. Seriously these people practiced a choreographed dance to do at the same time?
