Twelve years ago, our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press told us that Sarah Palin was absurdly unqualified to be vice president of the United States. Sure, she had successfully governed the state of Alaska, which was more executive experience than Obama had in 2008. But, um… did you know she owns a tanning bed? And she makes moose chili? And she named her baby Trig? And so on, and so forth. Journos and other liberals threw everything they had at her, no matter how ridiculous and meaningless, convincing themselves she was an idiot and/or a monster. All her achievements and qualifications meant nothing, and the Democratic Party’s claim to respect women was exposed as a hollow lie.
Fast-forward to 2020, and now a lot of those same people want Joe Biden to pick Stacey Abrams as his VP. I don’t want to say Abrams’ resume is thin, but she became famous for losing a gubernatorial election and then spending two solid years claiming she really won. Other than that, what has she ever done that qualifies her to be a heartbeat away from the presidency? She’s written several romance novels under the pen name “Selena Montgomery,” so that’s kinda fun. And then, um… I dunno. She does go on TV a lot, and clearly enjoys it. That’s something, right?
Abrams has been actively lobbying the Biden campaign for months, reminding anyone who’ll listen that she’d love, love, love to be his VP. If you’re old enough to remember actress Sean Young’s efforts to get hired to play Catwoman back in the early ’90s, it’s a bit like that. But more desperate.

Back when she was campaigning for Gov of Ga, she made an appearance at Schroeder's Deli in Rome, GA and gave a more or less impromptu "speech" in a very close area.
If I were to be limited to one word to describe her...I suppose "disgusting" would fit best.
I don't know what her usual appearance is...but on that day, she was shining with oil, she had huge sweat stains under her arms and she stank.
Seriously, she stank!
I was about 10 feet from her and it was pointed out to me that she had an odor...and I maneuvered closer...and sure enough, she stank.
She smelled so bad that I lost my concentration on what she was saying in reply to a white man that had asked about her about gun control and similar subjects and she introduced race into the answer.
But, again, her odor overwhelmed anything interesting she might have had to say.
She is a loser.
Period.
And after she had promised to make him pancakes.
Her lofty ambitions have outrun her know-nothing, low-IQ, low info, pigly wiggly, rotund, unattractive ass.
I hear McDonald’s is looking for a fry cook though so there’s always that for such vile people. Just don’t go there when they’re working. No telling what she might throw in with the fries; especially if she sees you’re a white older male.
Well said! I would have called the RATS “malignant narcissists” but “giddy dumb children” works very well indeed.

the enjoyment of power and a strong wish to have more of it

a mental illness in which someone believes they are very important and powerful when they are not
Her favorite beverage is... gravy!
She identifies as thin. She's translender.
Kinda hard to believe Flip Wilson lived in the same country as Stacey Abrams. Funny how Americans had to learn to be offended at jokes they make of themselves.
Take my wife... PLEASE!
The Village Idiot of Jackson Heights, carpetbagging in Houston, being one 25th Amendment decision away from the White House.
Of course Houston has some other Village Idiots as well, Al Green and Sylvia Garcia, both also Communists. Throw in Lina Hidalgo as well.
With Abrams, running out of gas is a foregone conclusion :- )
What I most enjoyed in your post was the Dunning-Kruger Effect -- reposted below.
It occurs to me that a young college student would never conceive of that graph. Even a college professor would probably not realize the "illusion of knowledge" unless they personally experienced a failure themselves.
The billionaire media mogul, Barry Diller, once said, "The best thing that can happen to your career is to have a big failure -- not a setback -- but a serious, crushing failure. Because only after that experience do you learn to run your business creatively."
As someone who went bankrupt at my first try as a self-employed market research analyst, I experienced that free-fall in the graph.
If I were to modify that graph I would insert many bumps on the ascent to "wisdom". Careers today -- thanks to the fast pace of technology and change -- increasingly test us as try to move ahead.
For example, in your self-promotion, you could understand direct mail, but miss the move to web marketing.
The fortunate thing is there's no end to the free and affordable help you can get on-line on so many subjects.
Scott Adams talks about creating a talent stack. His theory is you should be constantly on the lookout for new skill sets. A variety of talents makes you more flexible and valuable.
I learned object oriented programming and HTML/CSS by joining a forum, trying things out and asking "dumb questions" when I ran into a snag. People are happy to help for free -- if they can see you are putting in the effort and you thank them. :
"Crafting a career or independent business (read: falling and getting up again) is a wonderful thing. And I can't help but believe that COVID-19 has created an opportunity for many people who didn't quite jell at previous job.
They can now start down a new, more-strategic path in the direction of their interests and skill sets.
Overcoming struggles and setbacks are the championship ring as Teddy Roosevelt observed in his "Man in the Arena":
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.
But he who does actually strive to do the deeds, knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; and spends himself in a worthy cause; and at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly...
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Or, as they say more succinctly.........”man proposes, God disposes.”
...she has to iron her pants on the driveway.
If Pedo Joe picks her to be his running mate, maybe he can give her a couple large cases of Trump's "Success" deodorant, to possibly moderate the stench a tad!
I see what you did there!!
That’s the face you make when you just realized that you’ve been “had” and USED by the white man just to help garner more black votes.
Boom.
