for us but hope until we get back Congress.

You shouldn't be belittling people for hoping, especially right now. It's a really base assholish thing to do.

get out your rage for thinking that Republicans would do the right thing on me if you must.
People need to be reminded not to count on them ever.

never rub salt in the wounds of those who hoped they would today.

But hey, when else can you show how smart you are, right?

Have a lovely evening.

Instead of calling Collins and Flake, people should have spent another 20 minutes on Facebook?

The worst thing about it is that people are somewhat more disappointed than they would have been if Kavenaugh had been easily confirmed with their votes. The best thing is that people get energized. Hopefully, all of us will help make that happen.
