minus-squareDessertStormslinkfedilink1•edit-24 months agoLol, right, I’m sure she lived a life of poverty in a shack round the back of his mansion and had nothing to do with those ill-gotten billions and the privileges they bring… 🙄🙄
minus-squarelivuslinkfedilink1•4 months agoIdk, maybe she played the long game. Her husband has turned into a sociopathic wealth hoarder divorce or keep her head down so she can redistribute all of it when he’s gone. Seems like she made a legit choice to me. I’d rather someone did the right thing late than not at all - I’d save my ire for the people who don’t.
