The wheels on the bus go round and round
So ⌠the US Congress can just summon a citizen from a different country ⌠and the citizen is compelled to ⌠do what exactly?
Nothing, which is why the letter phrases it as a ârequest.â
In order to be extradited heâd have to actually be charged with a specific crime, insofar as I am aware.
Charging him with a crime sounds like a good start ⌠though I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
Maybe if we got a hold of those damn Epstein filesâŚ!
Itâs possible that they specifically wonât in order to get info on others. But thatâs me being optimistic
Also, Iâve had a tinfoil hat itch in the back of my head that the US may be giving allies time to sort their affairs before proceeding with the Epstein case, but I donât put much stock into it as we live in the dysfunctional timeline.
The government that needs its shit sorted most isnât US allies
Thatâs mighty considerate of them, Iâm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the current president of the United States is undoubtedly all over the files.
Funny how congress can investigate him but not trump. Funny how they can issue a summons to him, and expect him to comply, but thy canât do anything in America to the shut show going on in the streets
Itâs past time to replace these old ass clowns destroying our economy, livelihoods, and morale.
Keep voting them OUT!
Obligatory XKCD insertion.
This is one of those rare cases where regardless of where you place the hyphen, âold-ass clownsâ or âold ass-clowns,â both are accurate descriptions of the clowns in question.
For the uninitiated, xkxd #37
For
the uninitiatedtodayâs lucky 10,000âŚfor todayâs other lucky 10,000, I now present xkcd #1053
I love XKCD. Hadnât seen that one. Thanks.
They did investigate Trump and they know that heâs deeeep in it and thatâs why GOP really doesnât want it coming out.
Good distraction. Hey look weâre defending children!
Doesnât interviewing a potential witness count as investigating Trump?
Come on, Andy. Let the bitterness and shame spur your desire to lash out and hurt someone. Tell all and watch the place burn. Imagine walking into the US capitol building and dropping napalm in front of the world.
You think youâre fucked? Watch what happens to the USA when you prove who their President really is. At least a third of their heads will explode and the rest will just ignore you while they dance around the carnage and point fingers.
It will be glorious.
He is going to still protect whatever privileges he still enjoys. He doesnât give a shit about Trump or any other pedophile seeing any kind of justice. He just wants to keep himself as safe as he can.
He's still denying it so I won't expect much. And it's telling Congress can agree on his appearance but not on releasing the files.
Yeah but that would implicate dear leader dumpy. Ofc they canât release it /s

Andrew visited and stayed with Epstein after Epstein was released from prison for raping kids.
This reminds me of that bit near the end of RoboCop, where Dick Jones is immune to consequences whilst heâs part of the firm.
As soon as the old man fires him, the law can act đ
I doubt congress is going to shoot him but I can wish.
Gonna have a rum and coke and watch RoboCop tonight, been years since Iâve seen it.

âYouâre a cop. Cop! Dumbass.â
Nah, heâll just fall out of a window after surviving several self-inflicted bullet & stab wounds. đ¤ˇđźââď¸
ooh, summoning like a summoning circle incantation.
Quite right too. I wonder if Donald has recieved his letter yet. Can we publish that?
This phrasing of âreceived his letterâ made me think of a new, unwelcome meaning for Hogwarts.
My happy memories destroyed you scoundrel ;-)
I seriously doubt he will follow that summoning. He wonât rat on his co-rapists, as this would implicate himself. He still denies any wrongdoing.
And while I would not put it beyond the American government to send special forces to Windsor in order to abduct him, the UK would not take this lightly, even with a disgraced member of the family.
How about summoning American citizens residing in the US first? There are more than enough known from the Epstein case who could give answers. Start with âpresidentâ Trump.
I believe he has been removed from all his titles to avoid drawing the family into the drama. It signals something is actually shifting behind the scenes to me. I donât think heâs gonna get family support for this. Luckily he is still fabulously wealthy on his own. This has gotten so big it canât be stopped, only delayed. Those delaying tactics are also wearing thin. Keep up the pressure folks!!
While he has been stripped of almost all titles (some are not bestowed by the king, so there is some external bureaucracy involved that is still on it), the British might still be pissed if the 'mericans abduct a brother of the king.
Particularly as weâre probably planning to prosecute him ourselves in Britain. Itâll take a while but people here are pissed off that the âpunishmentâ so far is to be stripped of some bullshit titles and get to live as an immensely wealthy member of the public. Heâs going to prison because wealthy pedos are universally detested here and he canât become president in order to dodge prosecution.
Calling some random English nobody? Isnât everyone in England a duke or a count or some type of fancy title carrier?
This guy is just⌠Andrew? Okay.
As of the past few days, yes.
I wish it felt more satisfying than this.
Thatâs Andy to his co-rapists
Cool. Weâll swap him for that cunt that ran over a cyclist and then fled back to the US.
Half expect them to give him the medal of freedom
Purple Heart for Syphilis.
Mountbatten?? This just keeps getting worse.
Is that his name???
Are names like that common there?
I have 4
Names like that are not common here.
Besides their real family name is âSaxe-Coburg and Gothaâ but it was changed to Windsor in 1917 due to WW1 resentment towards the Germans.
At least we got the following joke in (famous British TV series) Blackadder:
âLook, Iâm as British as Queen Victoria!â
âSo your fatherâs German, youâre half-German and you married a German?!â
