Oh and did you know that 80% of people grab a handrail when they use stairs ... and that most fatal accidents are due to the lack of a handrail? No handrails is a crime against humanity in my opinion

I'm tired of these old career skanks.
She's my congresswoman and she has a decent voting record so everyone just chill about her age. This is her statement right after it happened...
"Thank you to everyone for your prayers – just a few small cuts and I’m doing just fine.
I’m a mountain woman, and we’re tougher than a $2 steak."
My bad. I thought it was another democrat when I posted it.
No problem.
