[WFB, via Insty] - Stacey Abrams was repeatedly praised as a "bold progressive" with an "unapologetically left" agenda during her failed gubernatorial campaign in 2018. Now that she's running again in 2022, Abrams and her media allies would like to revise the record by insisting that she is in fact a pragmatic moderate. Us normal folk call this 'rewriting history'. "A helium blimp, not hydrogen! Stable!" Astead Herndon's most recent piece in the New York Times suggests the Stacey Abrams rebranding effort is well underway. Herndon, author of articles such as "Menace Enters the Republican Mainstream," conducted his own "review" of Abrams's political ideology and found "a leader who has carefully calibrated her positions, making a point to avoid drifting into one Democratic lane or another." That's because she's taking up all of the lanes. The article includes a revealing quote from Democratic megadonor Steve Phillips about why white progressives, who comprise the vast majority of party activists and professional journalists, (we've noticed they're one and the same too! - ed.) have been so willing to embrace Abrams as one of their own.

| #3 Planet Abrams is proof that being unemployed, a tax deadbeat, a grifter, serial liar, stupid, and enormously ...enormous, can all be forgiven if you are a black female and play those alibi's to max effect with the democrat base. What she really wants is a salary and expenses from the campaign, ego feeding, and preening endlessly. |

| #2 Don’t know how successful her ‘rebranding’ will be; and maybe its a coincidence, but CSX Transportation (the big blue and yellow railroad) has redone their freight car logo by removing the stylized boxcar graphics…… |
