I abandoned them at 45. Whoever wants to wear them can do so but I love both my feet and my back way too much. I've never had either a corn or a bunion.

wear stillettos or not. Apart from that, shoes with high heels can throw one’s back out of alignment, along with other maladies. 👠

It is a simple statement of fact. It’s an old picture. I am not trying to disqualify anything, just pointing out that it’s an old picture.

The post just below your response I say that they regularly run young staff into the ground and have amazing energy or something like that.

Line of succession and all that.
Second in line to replace POTUS probably gets a detail as a matter of policy.
But, when she was minority leader, you're likely correct.

They may be fierce, but they're far from dumb!
They'd hire private security if they had to. I think.

There may be a discretionary security budget at the leaders' disposal. Maybe not, but it would make sense.
