I do find it difficult to believe that elected politicians would believe that these hyenas would change their stripes and tell the truth. No, I’m not in politics, just another worker on the bus, I’m the guy in the far left, rear seat. I say what I feel after information filters through my life experience. Sorry it rubs you the wrong way. Perhaps, us way lefties aren’t as quite as rational.

She knows. She just had to read the records of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh to know. Tired of her Kabuki dance.

We saw all of this maneuvering in real time - as it happened!

Don’t be manipulated by this dishonest revision of history.

matter what. Which is now a worthless body of political hacks and really should be disbanded, but never will happen. The founding fathers never likely anticipated the large number of domestic terrorists in the US which operate covertly as they rip the country to shreds masquerading as the GOP.

Groomed by the federalist society. One of the tv stations had a clip of those statements.
So what are the senators going to do about it? Crickets…

"Roe is the law of the land" "It is settled law" "It is a legal precedent" - all true statements.

But they left out, "And I will make sure it stays that way".

and Trump told untruths/falsehoods, was dishonest/mendacious/untruthful..but no one, with the exception of Daniel Dale, called Trump a LIAR..Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh LIED to Congress, and Collins, Manchin, and Murkowski knew they were LYING...anyone watching those confirmation hearings knew they were LYING...now Collins and Manchin are saying they were MISLEAD..bullshit!
