Epstein... that old chestnut.

Apparently Ghislaine Maxwell is 'assisting the Fbi in their investigations'.
Whatever the hell that means. For clemency and a reduced sentence most likely.

I am confused. Again.
They are investigating something that doesn't exist but all know does exist? Probably trying to implicate Biden.

Trump wanted to be re-elected for multiple reasons. Those reasons leave him compromised.

I agree, but I takes more than just the president. the entire party have to be complicit.
Starmer has a massive majority but can’t push through unpopular stuff because his MPs have principles.
Trumps majority is razor thin but his party are so scared of him.

Its a two party system, majorities have generally been very close
