Not a day goes by that I don't think about what my buddies did to save my life on November 12, 2004.

Each and every day is about trying to live in a way that is worthy of their sacrifices.

Trump has pleased his sex predator friend Ghislaine Maxwell by moving her to a nicer prison. “The food is legions better,” she wrote. “… I am much much happier here.”
Ghislaine Maxwell's prison emails show she is 'happier' at minimum-security Texas facility
Maxwell, a convicted sex offender connected to Jeffrey Epstein, was moved to a less restrictive federal prison this summer. Congress is investigating allegations of special treatment.
