I would have confessed. Smile

Melania has made a contribution.

'"Judge, I was born at night but not last night," said Sen. Leahy.'

OK, found it. The question Harris asked was, did Kavanaugh have a conversation with anyone at the law firm Kasowitz Benson Torres, the firm of Trump's personal lawyer Marc Kasowitz.

Kav hemmed and hawed and blocked and couldn't remember, and wasn't sure he knew anyone. In short, he was afraid squirmed.

It's here, and worth watching... if you like watching slugs having salt dropped on their tails: mobile.twitter.com/DavidCornDC/status/1037539547431804928

Kavanaugh has just introduced the Senate to a bunch of girls he has coached over the years

Really.

Kav. - Ignore the fact that I'm a shifty, creepy, lying, compromised, political operator, here are some girls I coached at softball. For my next distraction, meet the occupants of the homeless shelter where I volunteer.

His 'quiet' and 'secret' volunteering got very wide publicity:

Less than 48 hours after being nominated to the supreme court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh quietly joined a group of volunteers on Wednesday to hand out food to Washington D.C. homeless.

I've been away, I've been watching what's going on but unable to post. Thank you *Claws' fpr new thread.

Melania can FO.

Roussette · 06/09/2018 22:49

Sorry. Can't type. The thank you was to Claws

cozietoesie · 06/09/2018 22:58

Part of the problem is that Nixon has already 'done' the whole resignation bit - eg the jaunty wave from - I think - Marine One. 45 will have to emulate that or - Lord help us - come up with something new.......

cozietoesie · 06/09/2018 23:01

You think she actually wrote that, Roussette ?

I don’t think think Melanie wrote that rebuttal, cozie. I know she is multi-lingual, but I don’t think she is that verbose in the language. Besides, I’m not sure she would leap to her husband’s defence in such in spirited manner. Her office might on her behalf, but she possibly wouldn’t be bothered.

And he’s off on another rally - or, supposedly, ‘appearing’ at a campaign speech of Matt Rosendale in Billings, Montana. But it is a campaign rally for Donald J. Trump who apparently has no other presidential-type things to get in with.
