Take some inspiration from Rosie O'Donnell.

Rise like waves.

rosie o'donnell:

He is a cracked mirror shattered across the land,
each shard reflecting fear, anger, and decay -
A carnival barker shouting in a thunderstorm,
promising gold while selling fool’s dust.

He is the wildfire in a drought,
raging unchecked through fields of reason,
scorching the roots of truth until only ash remains.
A puppeteer pulling strings woven from lies,
dancing atop the graves of democracy’s dreams.

He is the howling wind that tears down bridges,
the smog that chokes the air we breathe,
a black hole swallowing light and hope alike,
leaving a void where compassion once grew.

But we are the ocean — relentless, deep,
waves crashing to reclaim what’s been stolen,
the tide that will wash away his empire of dust,
until only memory remains
of the storm we survived.

some of the girls from the Epstein case. She may have been on to something. She got the hell out before he could cause her any problems.

It's well known that Rosie supports causes that benefit kids. It wouldn't surprise me any if she uncovered something.

And she is right in her beautifully phrased observation above.

I just hope to God I outlive him! I REALLY want to be around to dance on his grave when the time comes. No, make that NEED. I NEED to here to witness his demise. Oh, how I NEED this!
