With as often as you talk out of the wrong orifice, I have to wonder how many pairs of underwear you go through each day.

Well, with all that is going on in the world today, nice to see you have your priorities lined up appropriately on what to worry about today.

For all we know, he IS XXJefferson51.

Yes, for all you know.

Fortunately, we don't have to rely on what you know or don't know.

It appears some people's purpose here is only to whine, complain, and bitch, bitch, bitch . . . . . .

I doubt anyone on the "right" trusted her with their money so why would they give a shit?

She cashed in on the movement; and now she is cashing out. Seems her morals (if she ever had any) have a price; and it has been met.

Whatever will the "mostly peaceful" protesters do without her?/S

They should have organized protests at her home(s).

Maybe it would have been smarter for BLM to mind its own business rather that also back a foreign terrorist organization.  I imagine it lost a lot of valuable support by doing so.
