#7? Really?
I was told that pedophiles in our government was a conspiracy theory yet here we are yet again.
They arrested former North Dakota State Senator, Ray Holmberg, on Monday after being accused of traveling out of the country to the Czech Republic to sleep with underage children from the years 2011 to 2016.
What makes this worse is that he was writing budgets for the Senate Appropriations Committee, so you have yet another compromised individual handling the people's money.
Are you seeing why Jeffrey Epstein was so effective?
The conspiracy theorists are continually proven right about just how corrupt our government truly has been.
Anons were right about everything.
Whoever published this poll has obviously never been around Indiana fans…

WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House passed a bill Thursday that would provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel as it wages war against Hamas, but Democrats say it’s dead on arrival in the Senate, and President Joe Biden has vowed to veto it.
The 226-196 vote was mostly along party lines. A dozen Democrats voted with nearly all Republicans in support of the measure; just two Republicans — Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia — joined most Democrats in opposing it.
The bill, championed by newly minted Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is narrow in scope, pairing Israel aid with $14.3 billion in cuts to IRS funding that was approved through Biden’s 2022 sweeping climate, health and tax law.

The slim GOP majority got little help from Democrats, who mostly say they favor aid to Israel but voted against the bill because of the IRS cuts, decrying them as a poison pill. The IRS funding was designed to amp up enforcement and catch tax cheats, bringing in more revenue; Democrats point to a new Congressional Budget Office report that the overall measure would add nearly $27 billion to the deficit.
The House bill sets up a major clash over much-needed Israel aid with the Democratic-controlled Senate. Biden and Senate Democrats are backing a broader approach, pushing for $106 billion for both Israel and Ukraine aid and humanitarian aid for Gaza, as well as funding for U.S. border operations, in one package.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., vowed Thursday that the House bill would go nowhere in the Senate.
"I am glad that the president issued a veto threat over this stunningly unserious proposal," Schumer said in a floor speech. "The Senate will not be considering this deeply flawed proposal from the House GOP."
There are people who would call this a conspiracy theory... but it's not a theory.Are you seeing why Jeffrey Epstein was so effective?

No, pretty sure that’s the Denver trial to keep Trump off of the ballot.@Shaun52
that wasn't a trial, a deposition.
Or Florida fans. How the fuck did they not make this list?Whoever published this poll has obviously never been around Indiana fans…
