    OMIGOSH a professor gave $10 donations (no zeros after that folks, believe it or not). Meanwhile, Kavanaugh hasn't explained who bought him his house.https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1041397738645028864 …

        Daddy bought him a house? So a grown ass man, from a well to do family, who went to one of the bets universities in the country still depends on daddy to live well? And they still have the gall to say poor people are just lazy and that’s why they’re still poor.

        Or who paid him $200,000 last year. Or how he accumulated $200,000 in debt. Baseball tickets seem like an easy thing for value-fudging and palm-greasing.

        I dunno. Who should we trust? A woman with detailed allegations that were revealed in 2012 (years before the current nomination), who has also passed a lie detector test, or a man who has lied under oath to members of the United States Senate? 🤷🏼‍♂️

        That the question “what did you do for your money, honey?” was not asked at the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings still astounds me.

        What *I’d* like to see: how K leapt to head of the line since Sept’17, when he wasn’t on the Federalists’ lists[sic] of possible nominees. Rumor has it K was promoting himself to anti-abortion groups. Or maybe it was his anti-impeach stance. But pre-judging & partisan either way

        People ask why anybody’d want “White House, Feb–Sep 2018” on their CV. But imagine yourself Chief Justice. You’re going down in history as silently presiding over the GOP politicizing SCOTUS. An ugly partisan power play the exact opposite of our Founders’ vision and Justice. 😰https://twitter.com/WaltFrench/status/1041753675360694272 …

        How have the personal financial questions (e.g., who bought him his house) not yet been definitively answered thru investigation of his bank and other financial accounts records ? Source of funds to make the deposit on the house should be right out in the open, if they look.
