(2,857 posts)He is super nice. He says he introduces himself as Joyce Vance's husband, lol. He said they send her what clothes they want her to wear and she loves all the new clothes.
Fun fact, he is running for Chief Justice of our Supreme Court and is supported by reps and dems alike.

(42,770 posts)always so on point and so non-emotional. I love her because she doesn't really give a shit about looking like a fashion model. She's brilliant.
