Even though I usually hate Brittany, I got so incredibly home sick watching that that I teared up

Why do you hate Brittany? You dislike galettes and cider?

[Valmy]

Maybe its conservative tendencies.

They pretend they're not french, also their saucisson is terrible.

[Josquius]

Free Brittany! She did nothing wrong!

[Duque de Bragança]

Maybe its conservative tendencies.

It has been PS for a while, i.e now Macron whatever, so not really.

The US process of confirming a nomination to the Supreme Court has become untenable.  Senators on both sides who have little knowledge of the law are engaging in lengthy and simplistic characterizations of the law.  I feel a great deal of sympathy for this nominee and admire her restraint in just not telling a number of senators that their questions don't make much sense.

It's possibly even more extreme at the minute because it's so close to an election so everyone is looking for a clip they can put on their socials/adverts

The Senator from Texas just said Citizens United was about the Federal Government being able to ban books.

edit: He must be saying that because the people who vote Republican won't know any better?
