Prayers for a quick recovery.

I, on the other hand, have other reasons for not attending the convention.

Kind of like shooting your foot to get out of a war.

Ouch! Prayers for her recovery. Maybe she’ll have a chance for a little reflection while she’s sitting out the convention.

Maybe she was thrown under a cable car by someone?

But I hope she recovers ASAP.

I believe I could get around with a broken ankle if I really wanted to.

Now there’s no way an elderly woman breaks her ankle on purpose to avoid an uncomfortable convention.

On the other hand, she’d probably get there if she REALLY wanted to get there.

She must have tripped over all that money her husband made while she was in charge of military contracts.

I have a prayer: May God help America and rid our country of those who seek to betray the trust of hard working people for self enrichment.

Not wishing any injury on anyone, but it is very convenient for her to miss this, um... historic convention.

Rush reported on this saying that her doctor will not permit her to fly...so the convention is off. Can't DiFi take a car or train to Denver and keep her foot on a nice pillow?

Probably a good thing she’s not attending. She wouldn’t be able to run when the riots start.

If I would wanted to go to the convention, I would find a new doctor.

Or take a train.

Or just go anyway.
