19. If only to save what's left of her career and legacy...
Thu Dec 25, 2025, 05:52 PM
Thursday

This is going to end one way or another. And if history is any guide, it swings hard to the other side. When it does, those without an "I really wasn't one of them" card may very well get clobbered. After all this shit, the concept "for the good of the country" may have a whole different meaning than it has the last 20 years. Investigations, prosecutions and perhaps jail. I don't think Dems are going to hold back one bit this time. They damn sure better not. With something like that in mind, perhaps this is the beginning of Wiles putting some separation between her and the regime.
