    This. When I graduated from high school I worked for an insurance company for a few months before going to college. The woman who trained me was in her early twenties, we became friends. She told me she barely survived an abortion that she had in a motel room in Atlanta, GA. Apparently she had massive bleeding and ended up in the hospital. Everyone has these stories.

      While everyone is distracted with any number of shenanigans, they’re busy stacking the courts with all sorts of federalist/heritage foundation low-life, callous, white supremacist idiots..

    Hey, everyone!

    I’ve been out of pocket most of the day. Celebrating my oldest birthday. My brother made bbq brisket, ribs and sausage, potato salad and baked beans. We surprised him good.

      Pfffft..

      Watch her and her team of ‘influencers’ turn around and desperately try to strong-arm and foist her onto a Biden led ticket if and when Biden gets the nomination.. ‘diversity’ ticket.. LOL..

      But Biden is an old hand at politics .. he already had her number long ago, which is why he met with Stacey Abrams …who won’t spend the entirety of the presidency undermining Biden – à la Hillary …who as SoS endlessly tried to undermine President Obama … turning Foggy Bottom into her very own queendom/parallel government, complete with openly hostile anti-Obama staffers many of whom publicly sniffed their disdain and some who even quit once Hillary left to go explore whether to challenge President Obama in his 2012 re-election bid …and in eerily mirror shades of (albeit to a slightly lesser degree) the treasonous buffoon, forcing folks to pick sides.. her or ‘Obama’.. and expecting folks to flatter and grovel to her.. tell her how much better than President Obama she was.. And if only she was president instead of him..

      At least Stacey has integrity and for what it’s worth, is thoughtful …and isn’t one to gratuitously spout off to make yet another mediocre, yawn-inducing pointless statement.. or score silly, hollow, focus group tested social media point …Or if and when on White House team, opportunistically stab the principal in the back …or try to undermine to hasten the principal’s departure so she can ascend to the presidency..
