It's really hilarious. They're dragging Amy Barret to the Hill to sit down for Tea With GOP Senators

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.

Like everything else from Republicans and Trump.

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.

So sexist. If course the Lady Judge likes her tea and crumpets in the afternoon. Are they inviting their wives to question her? Keep the Little Lady happy.

I have a nice formal tea set for four, it's beautiful porciline with sugar bowl,creamer,etc.
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.

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.

You know Mike Horsehair is untrustworthy.

Or maybe they'll have Amy in a handmaiden burqa?

Because they were picked by a lying, criminal tax cheat owned by the Vladimr Putin. That oughta make Brett cry again.
