    I think he’ll only actually do it when they know that saying “oh we’re gonna do it!” or bombing a small boat stops making the front page news over the epstien stuff

    the second the epstien stuff is considered 100% more important he invades mexico

      I don’t think linking this to Epstein makes sense. The reconnaissance and shaping flights in Latin America started as soon as Trump became president. There has been planning for this sine day 1, back when Trump was riding the high of being elected. And I don’t think operations in Mexico, if they happen, will be a full scale invasion or anything like that. More in line with special forces operations that currently take place in Syria against ISIS. Limited raids on “high value targets”, drone strikes, etc.

        I agree it’s been planned but obviously this is being rushed way ahead of schedule because of Epstein stuff.

        I think they probably planned on something a year or so from now but they’re ahead of schedule cuz Epstein

        My take? I think his brain has completely turned into pudding. He’s been saying that line for so long that he actually believes it now. Yes there was a huge contingent at the FBI tasked with redacting the files, but the un-edited ones exist. Once Congress votes to publicize them, it becomes a lot less risky for a whistleblower to send the un-redacted copy to a sympathetic congress-weasel. Just my POV as an idiot.

            Damn… I can’t find a link, but I read somewhere that there was an internal bumbling at the FBI (shocker, I know) and they sent the link to their repository to everyone at the bureau instead of just the redaction team loyalists. If true, then there is certainly someone at the FBI with an unredacted set of files. If someone has a link that can confirm, I would love to bookmark it.

            It does not require the Senate. Congress can vote to force the DOJ to release all the files on its own. It’s speculated that the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, was using the government shutdown to stall the congressional vote, as well as using the shutdown as an excuse to not swear in the newly elected representative from Arizona.

    [an extremely abridged list]

    March 2003: we must invade to find some like, uh, WMDs or something. shut up, do you hate America?

    February 2022: oh my GOD! can you believe that these barbarians would violate Ukraine’s national SOVEREIGNTY?

    October 2023: we must kill every last one of the indigenous people. shut up, do you hate Jews?

    whenever this happens 2025: we must bomb Mexico because our citizens love to buy drugs. shut up, do you hate America?
