Anyone who does is a moron.
This was a dog and pony show from the start. Except she is lower than any dog I know.

(20,435 posts)Whales of all shapes and sizes play a significant role in the health of marine ecosystems. About 50% of the air humans breathe is produced by the ocean, thanks to phytoplankton and whale waste. The Whale Poop Loop is the foundation of the marine food web and the planet's lungs.
Packed with nutrients, whale waste is a super fertilizer that supports phytoplankton, which produces oxygen and is food for zooplankton, fish, and other marine species. The marine creatures phytoplankton support then provide food for shorebirds and humans.

Link says a blue whale, but that's a humpback, like my avatar.

(17,212 posts)What is she expected to say about Trump when he's offered her (l) a move to a cushier prison, and most likely (2) a pardon down the line when the dust settles.
I mean, come on people!!!! We are not that stupid.

And she's a "victim" now, don't you know? So she must be believed!
Won't be the least bit surprised if she's set free and made Teen Tsarina of the Trump Admin, in charge of recruitung young girls for service jobs in the White House ballroom.

(58,926 posts)Scandal in the 80's. Similar situation: child exploitation ring with deep ties to Republican politicians. Covered up by everyone and no one ever faced justice for it. In fact, one of the accusing children went to jail for perjury for allegedly making the story up. But there is documentation out the wazoo that the ring existed and hundreds of children had their souls stolen.
