34. Something not right with Rachel

Tue Jun 6, 2017, 01:21 AM

Jun 2017

She has been gone a long time. Something is very wrong. I sent a letter to MSNBC saying that we are her loyal fans and it would be nice to know what is wrong with her. No one really says anything. It is too weird. If she had a cold or flu someone would say something about it. I said that the silence was unfair. IF it is depression she has talked about it before. Why not now? And MSNBC made it to No. 1 because of her. Makes you wonder if she had death threats and is being protected. I mean, the more they don't let us know what is going on, the more we start thinking all these strange things.
