Mrs. Betty Bowers on Todd Blanche confirmation hearing

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And when Todd Blanche was asked about this referral to the Bar, he lied about it.

AND THERE WAS NO FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.

What an utterly broken government.

I first heard that line using Manhattan instead of Ohio. That probably fits Blanche and his slimy condescending persona better than Ohio.

my next door neighbor had an above ground pool that I spent many an evening enjoying. They never knew we were there - and probably would have joined us for the wine and giggles.🤭
