32. Same thing at a college football game Thursday night

Sep 2018

I sit next to lots of guys at Canes football games and they are conservative. One of them always implores the crowd to stand for the national anthem and says he is boycotting the NFL this year due to kneeling.

I didn't expect to say much about the senate hearing until I heard one couple saying they believed "the woman this morning."

That freed me up. I told them about Kavanaugh at the end of the day saying he didn't watch her testimony prior to his. All three of us agreed that an innocent person would make sure to watch every second, to know what the heck she was claiming.

The answer is... ArchTeryx Sep 2018 #37

My husband will likely have a word with her Bettie Sep 2018 #43

Put her in the kiddie table idcdu Sep 2018 #46

Ask her how she would feel her daughter was "passed around" at a dorm. kerry-is-my-prez Sep 2018 #47

She would blame her Bettie Sep 2018 #48

Her attitude is typical of evangelicals. They believe women should be *subject* to men. Texin Sep 2018 #49
