Victoria nodded.
Biden’s beanbag chair was going to need a good steam cleaning after today.
They raced hand in hand for the White House. Jimmie’s conscience was mostly free-Victoria’s divorce wasn’t yet finalized, but her husband was behind bars. That’s where Trump would remain for a good, long time. Thirty-two years, to be exact. Attempted murder and aggravated assault weren’t cheap, as far as convictions went. Cat’s sentence-life-was even harsher, but suffice to say Trump wouldn’t be coming after Jimmie anytime soon.
However, it was a near certainty that the ex-president would be out long before his sentence was up. President Ryan wouldn’t pardon him, but the next president might. And if they didn’t, then another would. Someday, in their darkest hour, the American people would turn to the Donald and ask for his help making America great again (again)-again.
