    Brett Kavanaugh, on Trump’s shortlist for SCOTUS, is supposedly just a regular guy bc he “likes to play basketball and drink beer,” which is “refreshing in a town like Washington.” Yeah, no one else here likes those things. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/top-supreme-court-prospect-has-argued-presidents-should-not-be-distracted-by-investigations-and-lawsuits/2018/06/29/2dd9c1cc-7baa-11e8-80be-6d32e182a3bc_story.html …pic.twitter.com/Fv3g8MT2DM

        His belief that you can't indict a sitting President I am sure has nothing to do with it

        Totally weird quote. Also: Trump does neither of those things, so who is he appealing to?

        Obama actually played basketball and drank beer on weekly basis. Trump finds that out Kavanaugh is done.

        Kavanaugh's friends are obviously idiots, also. @POTUS44 @BarackObama had a basketball court in the White House, and drank beer with Anthony Bourdain on "Parts Unknown." Guess that means Barack is just a refreshing, ordinary guy, right?

        Oh man! Beer! Hoops, What a down home kinda guy. What’s not to like - beyond his view that the president, at least this one, can’t be questioned under oath in a criminal proceeding?

        Whoa!! Where could you find someone who likes both beer AND basketball in America!? Shouldn't this rarely grounded person be working on more important projects like world peace and curing cancer?

        Sounds a lot like the people with a "deplorable," voting record in the last presidential election. Do we want a "regular guy," on the Supreme Court? Or would we rather have a legal scholar who has a record to be scrutinized?
