Do you think there will be even a minute of questioning her judicial philosophy? Do you think even one of the GOP senators will ask even one substantive question?
Why not save wear and tear on the teacups and just go to the vote? Show it off as the naked power display and sham that it is.

Even my dog can figure out this will be a rubber stamp from Rs. Cut the pretense and stop faking any traditional process. Don't buy for one minute any game played by vulnerable or moderate Rs.

And it's beautifully glazed with colorful flowers,Gilt gold etc.
I am a transguy,but I enjoy doing tea. Even if it's just for me. Tea time is not sexist in of itself. It's actually relaxing to do the tea ritual. I don't eat crumpits even though they are delicious. I eat keto Blondie's instead .
Right wing republicans assuming tea is a woman's thing only are sexist and dissing tea time.
Suck my ass you fucking repigs. No tea for you.

(12,480 posts)The pourer of the tea is called mother. In England gender of the mother isn't always female. Even the king of England if he pours the tea is called mother.
If you want a second cup you say mother may I have another.
That's part of the tea ritual
It's origins are not as sexist as you may assume it is.
Imagine having tea with magat men,the pourer of the tea would be called mother.
