I feel like we’ve lost something.

Here's a photo of the clouds reflecting the sunset over Lake of the Isles tonight to remind you of home:
@lauren I fully agree that she will want to jail him at some point (deservedly.) Where I think we differ is that I don't think she'll be allowed to. Maybe I'm jaded by everything that's happened since the Mueller report and the dozens of times everyone thought he was finally going to be in real trouble.
