Trump and Elon's whole march and baiting of government workers will leave illness and a mess that will take years or decades to mend. Nobody should have to go through this.

As of NSPM-7, the efforts of the Trump Administration to create reasons to label anyone a terrorist or criminal are more than clear.
A thought like this one should surprise nobody, and chill the blood of anyone.

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney has gone public with her offer to "clear" Donald Trump in exchange for a pardon. So if Donald gives her one, that would be an admission that she has information about him that could lead to criminal convictions.
