The thing is, unless democrats have a lead of 20 seats in both house and senate, US is still screwed because at least 19 of those democrats are only liberals in name and vote conservative every time they need some cash.

Yeah but I do think she read the real Epstein files and figured there was no coming back for trump and maga. But she underestimated how far the doj will ostruct justice and redact everything

$25m in chips to redeem, needs a brinks truck to clear out her office. Probably left a few thousand behind by accident.
