So he happens to be a jackass?

A Cistercian Monastery with a vow of silence? And his wife to become a Poor Clare?

And the rapey PM?

Usha Vance, Modi, and President Xi should appreciate that

He is trying to do to the White House what Canada did waybackwhen?

Ectually they're all generated by AI and don't exist

To all the women & former kids who pursue justice in a world that says people can get away with raping you unless they are caught by their own statements & communications. You find each other & fight on, amassing evidence & demanding investigation & transparency. You're so brave. We believe you.
