Kavanaugh button I made last weekend that is a red circle with a slash through his name with a little hanger hanging off of it. The 20 something cashier asked me who Kavanaugh is! The guy behind me and in front of me all looked at her like she must have been joking but she wasn't. I told her and she said she wished she could be more of an activist. I asked her if she was voting in the midterms and ahe said "Yes" but I got the feeling she didn't even know what the midterms are.

There we all wear, about to log off and trundle off to bed when the fecal matter came into contact with oscillating wave wind machine. And all Hell broke loose with good stuff, and shoes started dropping every where and then Ann Coulter had an attack of self-awareness and the next thing we knew, you couldn't have pulled us away using crazed bikers on crank.

So yeah, get comfy, strap in, buckle up and read on.

I'm not really even sure I know exactly what you are talking about. Lol.

Sometimes when I get a little behind I go to TheFerret's journal to catch up. He/she usually covers things rather thoroughly.

and couldn't believe how much sh*t hit the fan while I was gone.

It's too late to eat popcorn, but I hate to waste the opportunity for fulfillment. Been waiting so long.

Never a good sign.

I just read the New Yorker article. Quite the Shit Show. I suspect it will be a topic of discussion on the morning shows.

I've come to expect the unexpected, but is there Any chance he survives this? From what I read in the article, and then there are some rumors from Avenatti, I can't see him making it through Tuesday, let alone to Thursday's hearing.
