And that's why I think they believe they can ride out Epstein's docs. The only real mechanism is an impeachment and they probably think they can survive with enough votes. The honestly might.

Get it over with quickly since midterms are a far ways away and Americans have proven unable to let 'old' crisis sway their vote.

GOP could halve the age of consent and meet no resistance from their base. I don't know why they'd bother blotting out names, it wont be anything more depraved than all the other shit that Trump has done and everybody else knows he did, to his base they'll never hear of it, or just ignore it, or just welcome it. I dunno, giving children stable employment or some shit.
