But equally important…

Does anyone else sit with an almost subconscious belief that yes, this nightmare will end—and then, for years to come, information will be uncovered about what was happening in and around this administration for over a decade and it will be more horrifying and unhinged than anything we can imagine?

Karoline Leavitt, that evil lying bitch, is leaving the White House.

Good.

The most repulsively mendacious, soul-insolvent Trump-era skank ever to plant herself behind that podium, open the festering sewage aperture of her foul mouth, and disgorge lies, conspiracies, calumnies, contempt, and taxpayer-funded bullshit at the American press is finally slithering out the fucking door.

Of course she is.

She can smell the rot on herself now.

She can feel the accumulated filth of everything she knowingly, gleefully, shamelessly defended calcifying around her name, and suddenly the woman who never met a Trump lie she wouldn’t lacquer, powder, polish, and parade has discovered the exquisite appeal of the emergency exit.

Too fucking late.

That bleached-blonde bunker-barker, crucigerous concubine of cruelty, cold-blooded battery-acid Barbie wasn’t dragged kicking and screaming into that briefing room. She wasn’t some trembling civil servant held hostage beneath fluorescent lights, reluctantly reciting words somebody shoved into her hands while silently praying for deliverance.

She fucking wanted it.

She wanted the podium. She wanted the cameras. She wanted the proximity to power. She wanted the access, attention, applause, and reflected importance that came from being Donald J. Trump’s porcelain emissary and polished political apparatchik.

She auditioned for that privilege, and once she got it, she performed with the ravenous enthusiasm of a bankrupt of character who discovered depravity came with a government salary, a glam squad, and excellent fucking lighting.

She did it eagerly.

She did it happily.

She did it proudly.

She stood behind the seal of the White House wearing her little cross around her neck and became the glossy public mouth of an administration marinating in brutality, corruption, retribution, greed, deceit, autocracy, and spiritual putrefaction.

She didn’t brief so much as infect, flicking that forked tongue across every steaming mound of bile that sloughed off Donald Trump and buffing, burnishing, bleaching, and bullshitting it into something she hoped Americans would swallow, transforming lying into liturgy, degradation into doctrine, indecency into catechism, until the grotesque sounded governmental simply because she said it beneath chandeliers with a seal behind her.

She became an apologist for depravity, an acolyte of authoritarianism, a servile little lickspittle for sin, a lacquered lackey for a sexual reprobate whose appetites, abuses, lies, and grotesqueries were already smeared across decades of public history, and she fucking knew exactly who she was protecting. Goddamn right she knew.

She knew about the tape where Trump bragged, with the swaggering entitlement of someone who believed celebrity placed women’s bodies at his disposal, that he could grab them by the pussy. She knew women had accused him of sexual misconduct. She knew a jury listened to E. Jean Carroll and found him liable for sexual abuse. She knew the judge later explained that the conduct established by that verdict fit the ordinary modern understanding of rape.

She knew every ugly fucking inch of the public record, and still she took the immense borrowed authority of the White House and made herself his official voice, his defender, his attack dog, his pretty little praetorian guard with a press credential.

That wasn’t ignorance.

That was volition.

That was allegiance.

That was moral agency exercised in service of someone else’s impunity.

And she knew exactly who she was protecting when the Epstein files became impossible to fucking outrun.

She knew Trump’s name was in that universe of documents, testimony, photographs, contacts, correspondence, flight records, allegations, and decades of questions. She knew his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein had been public knowledge for years. She knew Americans were looking at that sprawling, squalid archive of money, minors, powerful men, hidden records, sealed testimony, missing answers, and institutional cowardice and asking one extraordinarily simple fucking question:

What are you hiding?

And Karoline Leavitt’s answer was not transparency.

It was obfuscation.

Obfuscate, obscure, deflect, deny, denigrate, distract. Bury the question under process. Attack the person asking it. Change the subject. Blame the media. Shriek about Democrats. Manufacture another outrage. Throw another fistful of rhetorical pocket sand into America’s eyes and hope nobody notices that the woman speaking for the president is working awfully fucking hard to make people stop looking at files containing the name of the depraved fuck she is paid to protect.

She knew.

That’s what makes her role so fucking repellent.

She wasn’t confused, uninformed, or discovering Jeffrey Epstein alongside the rest of the country with one hand clutched dramatically to her pearls. She was running interference for Donald fucking Trump, fully cognizant of the questions, the associations, the stakes, and the public demand for answers, and rather than plant herself before America and say open the vault, unseal the records, release every fucking thing, she helped construct the fog bank around him, a suffocating miasma of evasion, equivocation, indignation, diversion, and weaponized swill designed to exhaust the public before the public could exhaust the questions.

That was her choice.

She looked at one of the most radioactive scandals in modern American life and decided her place in it would be on the sanitation crew, scouring, whitewashing, disinfecting, sanitizing, standing there with her little cross and her big government microphone trying to smother the reek beneath institutional incense while everybody else screamed that something fucking dead was underneath it.

And she knew exactly whose stink she was trying to cover.

You poisonous fucking fraud.

You knew. You always fucking knew. And you chose him anyway.

And as a mother, I find you especially fucking shameful.

Motherhood does not magically confer morality upon women. You are living proof of that. But having children teaches you something elemental about vulnerability, something that settles beneath language and somewhere in the marrow, because you understand how utterly small human beings depend upon adults to tell the truth, recognize danger, establish boundaries, believe them when something is wrong, and protect them from people powerful enough to hurt them.

You know what vulnerability looks like.

You chose power anyway.

People are already speculating that maybe you were fired.

Bullshit.

Or maybe you finally got pissed off when Trump left your ass sitting on the drone-bait plane while he scuttled through Turkey in a food-services truck with his Flowers-in-the-Attic fluffer Natalie Harp.

Bullshit.

Please stop trying to retrofit normal human emotions onto a woman who has devoted years to demonstrating their complete fucking absence.

You are a morally necrotic revenant, an ethically eviscerated little opportunist with the moral architecture of a tapeworm. You do not give a solitary shit that Donald Trump left you sitting on a decoy aircraft. You don’t care that he humiliates people, discards people, degrades people, or feeds them into the wood chipper of his own self-preservation. You have watched him do precisely that to human being after human being and readily volunteered to hold the fucking extension cord.

You aren’t leaving because Donald Trump finally offended your delicate sensibilities.

You’re leaving because you can fucking count.

You know there is only so much runway between being the sneering federally funded mouthpiece for a fat, fetid fascist and trying to come out the other end as a freshly Febrezed Fox News personality whose entire past has been professionally dry-cleaned of the odor.

That clock is ticking.

You have watched this fucking magic trick before.

Kellyanne Conway escaped the blast radius and became a contributor. Kayleigh McEnany spent years powdering Trump’s ass from behind a White House podium and somehow emerged on Fox as a cable-news fixture instead of being permanently introduced as FORMER PRESIDENTIAL PROPAGANDIST in flashing red letters beneath her face.

You want the same baptism.

That’s the game.

Get out while there’s still enough asphalt between you and the flaming wreckage to pretend you were merely a passenger. Put some chronological distance between yourself and the funk. Trade the lectern for a television desk. Swap government-issued bullshit for commercially sponsored horseshit. Replace the White House seal with a chyron. Get a softer filter, write something maudlin about family and faith, and wait for America’s notoriously short fucking memory to perform the pardon your conscience never could.

You aren’t fleeing Donald Trump.

You’re fumigating your fucking résumé.

You smell what’s coming.

You just think you can outrun it.

Fuck that.

You aren’t even fucking original.

History is littered with women like you, a whole genealogy of vipers who hired out their fangs to monstrous men and billed it as duty.

Leni Riefenstahl aimed her lenses at the Third Reich and made fascism look like ballet, lit Nuremberg like a cathedral, gave genocide a gorgeous opening sequence, then spent the next six decades hissing her innocence at every documentary crew that would listen, and died at 101 with the swastika still watermarked on every frame she ever shot.

Magda Goebbels rented her photogenic family to that same regime as its living advertisement, the newsreel wife, the spotless children, and when it collapsed she fed those children cyanide rather than let them wake in a world Hitler no longer ruled.

Jiang Qing turned the Cultural Revolution into musical theater, scripting model operas while a million people bled out in the cheap seats, and when the tribunal finally came for her she reared up, hood flared, and spat that she had only ever been Mao’s dog, set loose on whomever he pointed her at.

None of them outran it. Not the auteur, not the “mother of the year”, not the leading lady. The verdict arrived anyway, late, sometimes decades late, but it fucking arrived, and it stayed.

And yours will too.

You were never standing helplessly beside the machinery. You were the fucking loudspeaker bolted to it, packaging the decay, gilding the venality, varnishing the viciousness, commercializing the con, marketing the malevolence, and making indecency sound official, dishonesty sound authoritative, vengeance sound patriotic, and rank civic sewage sound like governance.

And the record is indelible.

So leave.

Pack up the crosses and canned talking points. Strip the photographs from the desk. Gather your White House tchotchkes, close the office door, and commence whatever immaculate little reputational exorcism awaits on the other side of the gates.

You do not get absolution with a forwarding address.

You can leave the podium. You can leave the building. You can leave Washington. You can change titles, networks, jobs, hairstyles, biographies, fucking continents. You can molt entirely, shed this skin on the way out, glide away glistening, and wait for the new scales to grow in a friendlier pattern.

You cannot change what you did.

The animal underneath stays the animal underneath.

The cameras were rolling. The transcripts exist. The footage remains. Every smirk, every slander, every deflection, every duplicitous little morsel you spoon-fed the public, every moment you decided closeness to power deserved more loyalty than truth deserved courage has been preserved.

That’s the occupational hazard of spraying air freshener over decomposition.

Eventually the fucking stench belongs to you.

No television contract will cleanse it. No gauzy motherhood profile will erase it. No resurrection tour through conservative media will sever you from the gargantuan slag heap of ethical offal you appointed yourself to speak for.

Run cover for predators and their filth becomes your perfume. Polish the reputations of scoundrels and the residue remains beneath your fingernails. Spend your career as a smiling votary of vice and sooner or later history stops distinguishing between the shit and the person who kept fucking shoveling it.

You can run as far from that briefing room as your legs will carry you, Karoline, but the stench of what you so zealously championed will cling to your name long after the studio lights go dark.

For eternity.

But at least American taxpayers won’t be footing the bill anymore for you to serve as a publicly funded fluffer for a convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, business-fraud bullshitter, pussy-grabbing predator, and serially sleazy sack of shit.

So at least there’s fucking that.
