I can't keep up. I take two hours out of my day to enjoy some sunshine and skiing and everything happens.

Also i kind of feel people like collins and graham don't get to act exasperated. They knew how Trump was. This is not 1 bit out of alignment with how he has run this shit show since day 1.

seriously, fuck susan collins. "You're ruining my day" was her response to this news. I wonder how many days Brett Kavanaugh will ruin in his career as a SCJ?
