She could drop trou and leave a massive turd on the senate floor and they’d still ram her through.

I’ll be over here having a rage stroke if anyone needs me.

Did anyone remark about how Kavanaugh or Gorsuch “do it” balancing career and family? 

I’ll never forget an argument I got into with a former colleague back in 2008, who INSISTED that I (and all liberals) were hypocrites unless we voted for McCain, because he had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate. When I told him that it didn’t work that way and that Palin was awful, he really thought he caught me…

The same way John McCain felt, I’m sure.

THIS!!! How could anyone hear that and not have a deep, troubling concern? This is about justice- parenting is NOT about justice.

I don’t know for sure but I would assume that she “does it” with a lot of paid help, which her and her husband can easily afford, Senator Lee. Maybe you should be asking the same of all the parents in this country currently struggling to “do it” after losing their jobs and their stimulus relief.

‘Senator John Cornyn lifted Barrett up as a role model for young women, balancing work and motherhood. “How do you do it?” he asked.’

That quote is also condescending as fuck, and I don’t think it’s even superficially nice (I copied the same bit to respond to, but you beat me to it). She’s empathetic insofar as she frames her opinions like she’s *speaking to children*.

I am not a fucking child, and I don’t want or need someone on the fucking Supreme…

She’ll pray as she buys the plane ticket to Canada. 

“When I write an opinion resolving a case, I read every word from the perspective of the losing party. I ask myself how would I view the decision if one of my children was the party I was ruling against.”

There’d be only a fleeing moment of cognitive dissonance before they called up their rich private doctor to give her an abortion off the books.  

My encounters with ghosties:

When I was little, we used to vacation a lot with my mother’s brother and his family. His girls and I were about the same age, my eldest cousin ‘Jane’ being 2 years older than me. One holiday weekend, the grown-ups rented a house near the beach called Christopher’s. It was a beautiful two-story house with a pool off…

Oh her daughter could get one.  She just doesn’t want any other woman to be able to get one.

So, how would she feel if one of her daughters wanted an abortion?

I went to Tulum with my best friend summer 2019. (Ah, the before times.) He is very into mysticism, the occult, etc. I am much more of a skeptic, but have interesting conversations with him, nonetheless.

Years ago, I housesat for my sister and her husband when they went off on their honeymoon. My boyfriend at the time was out of town, so it was just me and my sister’s two large boxers. It was in a suburban neighborhood, but their house sat at the edge of the neighborhood, next to a grove of hazelnut trees that then…

There’s something downstairs.

This isn’t really scary, maybe a tad spooky, but I’ve never told anyone about it (the only people who know are my mom and my brother, and we’ve never talked about it) and I thought I could share with so many like-minded (?) people. I’m pretty... “skeptical” might be too strong a word; I guess ghosts etc. are possible,…
