      - We have no rights to expect anything from her. But she also has no right to expect public sympathy Frank L 10:57am · 7/28/21

        So you knew little about her but are ok making sweeping generalizations based on 24 hours. LanceHarbor 12:04pm · 7/28/21
        
        I do know little about her. One item I do know is that she has been an effective self promoter. Frank L 12:29pm · 7/28/21

        Lard ass couch potatoes know pressure. They have also experienced ritual sexual abuse. Aragoto 11:13am · 7/28/21
