Corruption in plain sight

Corruption in plain sight yet democrats look the other way while running the crook for Governor.
This is not a bright woman. Just soaked in corruption and the rats love her. Enriching herself off of the donations to non-profits and ripping off the American tax payers. It doesn't get any lower than that unless you are running a ponzi scheme.
The Remarkable Rags-to-Riches Story of Stacey Abrams | RealClearInvestigations
By her own admission, Stacey Abrams has made a number of "personal financial missteps” in her career. Despite a history marked by bill collectors, tax liens, and ethics investigations, the Georgia politician and Democratic Party activist has managed to amass a small fortune – while working most of her career in the not-for-profit sector.
Financial records show that when she first entered statewide politics in 2018, she reported a net worth of less than $109,000. By 2022, the last year she had to publicly file a financial report, it had grown to more than $3.2 million. Abrams is probably even better off than that, thanks to her latest venture: Rewiring America, which uses federal funds to provide low-income people with free electric appliances.
The green-energy startup hired Abrams as senior counsel in 2023 after she helped secure federal funding for the nonprofit by putting together an umbrella group that applied for and won grants totaling $1.9 billion from the Biden Environmental Protection Agency, according to a podcast interview she gave last year. Those funds were frozen last month by the Trump administration while it investigates the grant application and award process along with Congress.
It’s just the latest in a string of investigations involving Abrams, who has presidential ambitions, and nonprofits she’s launched. Last month, Georgia lawmakers announced a special probe into her New Georgia Project and its fundraising arm, which failed to report millions of dollars in contributions and spending tied to Abrams’ first gubernatorial bid. She's also been accused by ethics watchdogs of personally misusing political donations raised for her campaigns.

In my neighborhood there are still political signs in yards supporting her.
She has ZERO accomplishments politically- ZERO.
But folks regard her as saintly. It's remarkable.
She's obese, female and an oppressed person of color.
Checks damned near all the boxes for leftist shill. Needs more LGTBQ and she'd be raking in even more coin.
Whoopi and Oprah are gonna die someday so I like Abrams moving into media.
The Left was trying to force this wildebeest on the masses as a fashion icon while refusing to give any positive coverage or exposure to Melania Trump.
She's worked the grift of Atlanta politics and her constituents have no issues with it. If anything to them, it's admirable.
When Musk is done with DOGE I'd invite him to audit the city of Atlanta. He'll need to bring extra crew. Start with the water department.
Nothing says substance like a leftard, especially a supposed elite Washington Post "journalist". And oldy but goody. Should be taught at the Columbia School of Journalism on how to suck up to a corrupt grifter dem election denier politician.
From the Washington Post - Democracy dies in the darkness.
“Pandemonium ensues as she [Abrams] walks to the far left of the stage, like a runway supermodel, stops on a dime, poses, tilts her head slightly and smiles,” WaPo’s profile on Abrams reads. “Camera flashes explode. She next pivots and walks slowly to the center of the stage, freezes there and repeats the pose. Again, the flashes explode. Abrams is summoning her inner actress, and she is both enjoying the moment and getting through it to get to the conversation.”
“She then pivots and walks to the far right of the stage, same. You wonder whether she has done this before, because it is not necessarily what one would expect from a 46-year-old politician who was nearly elected the first black female governor in U.S. history.”
that’s the cringiest piece of journalism ever of all time
Here is another just to show that sucking off dem politicians is an art form. This from the House "Conservative" at the NY Times. Imagine that the NY Times and Washington Post fancy themselves as being relevant today.

The New Republic: Obama's BromanceIn the spring of 2005, New York Times columnist David Brooks arrived at then-Senator Barack Obama's office for a chat. Brooks, a conservative [sure] writer who joined the Times in 2003 from The Weekly Standard, had never met Obama before. But, as they chewed over the finer points of Edmund Burke, it didn't take long for the two men to click. "I don't want to sound like I'm bragging," Brooks recently told me, "but usually when I talk to senators, while they may know a policy area better than me, they generally don't know political philosophy better than me. I got the sense he knew both better than me."
That first encounter is still vivid in Brooks's mind. "I remember distinctly an image of--we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant," Brooks says, "and I'm thinking, a) he's going to be president and b) he'll be a very good president." In the fall of 2006, two days after Obama's The Audacity of Hope hit bookstores, Brooks published a glowing Times column. The headline was "Run, Barack, Run."
My favorite…
Every so often you read something that stops you in your tracks. A week ago, The Boston Globe ran a 10,000-word profile of Ted Kennedy by Charles Pierce. For the first gazillion paragraphs or so, it chugged along in familiar Boston Globe snoozefest mode, and then:
“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.
