It is quiet and solitary.
There was a brief relief period in which one could see for about a mile. Now it closes in again.

Anyone publishing articles saying this is it for Trump or "the walls are closing in" or any other metaphor should not be taken seriously.
Republicans are not going to a damn thing unless there is actual video evidence of Trump raping a teen.
Half of them would still claim the video is fake.

Maxwell wanted a pardon.
Trump declined.
Maxwell released the birthday card to the WSJ as a shot across the bow.
Trump sent his lawyer to negotiate. She told the lawyer about the dirt she had.
She was moved to Club Fed, given a puppy and told to stand by for the pardon.

@schumer.senate.gov Chuck Schumer and @durbin.senate.gov Dick Durbin need to be expelled from their leadership positions and the rest of this list should resign.
Durbin should resign since he clearly doesn't give a fuck about his consituency since he announced his retirement.

Shaheen

Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.
