Maybe she shouldn't have voted to make him immune from consequences then.
- Yeah she was all happy when she got to handmaiden away women's rights, but now she's worried about the authoritarian stank that's left on her? Wonder what changed.
  
  There has been a lot of real unironic talk amongst the GOP to remove women senators and judges from power. Or maybe Trump tried to rape her, wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Maybe she just caught a whiff of his diaper load.
- Apparently, he does smell. Really bad. One of the least surprising things I’ve read recently.
  
  It's incredible that nobody (like foreign leaders) has ever said anything when they're both on camera... Like come on. I would love to hear some German Minister or something, all serious, be like, "vat ist dat smellz?" while in the middle of a photo op or sit down discussion or some shit... Just to see how Trump reacts.
- It’s totally this, the stench must have been overpowering on that fateful night.
- That's exactly what I thought. Women tend to have a better sense of smell than men. Also, some people are super smellers - I wondered if she might be one when I saw that clip.

That look of complete disgust and distain? It's like she was channeling Melania
- Yeah, I thought the same thing.

I heard Amy Coney Barrett was a RINO. Many people came to me and said Sir. she is a closet left wing liberal lunatic. But she came to me with tears in her eyes, begging for a job. I should have thrown her out like a dog. What a TOTAL LOSER!

- Best thing ever was the trump criticizes Trump deal.

  Nah, there was nothing malicious in her expression at all. She was looking at him with admiration and a smile. But her facial muscles sprang back to removedface and that's what happened.

  The only thing is that is does not seem to solve the Facebook problem. I'm not sure if there are any solutions out there for that.

Huh. I never realized she looked like an older Pam Beesly
- You take that right the fuck back! Seriously though, if Pam got addicted to Parliament cigarettes and dog racing, this would be who she became.
  
  I can see the resemblance to an older Pam Beesly, but not how Jenna Fischer looks now or probably will probably look at the same age.

SCOTUS should be elected.
If a political party appoints a Judge then it is not possible for that judge to be unbiased.

I actually think that was from the smell of him walking by. Seriously.
- would be funny that in a room full of old people, trump's old people smell somehow outpowers the rest XD

Bad actress, 1/5

Is Amy Coney Barrett a Republican?
Supreme Court justices do not serve under a political party. Barrett is considered to be among the Court's conservatives, but she has served as a swing vote in some controversial cases.
Lol sure.

Probably just smelled his soiled McDiaper and stale ketchup aroma
- I'm pretty sure this is it

Doesn't look like she's looking at him at all, staring at someone/something inthe background before Trump walks over

She looks like the leopard ate her face and she understands why it did. But as long as she upholds the Constitution, that's all you could ask for.
- She's already gutted the Constitution. She helped evolve the argument that (and then voted that) he's immune to anything he can claim as an "official act", and now everything will be an "official act". She helped him get back into office, now he can ignore the courts, including the Supreme Court - we already know no one is going to stop him. She had the chance to stop this and she failed.
  
  Well maybe the leopard just ate her face. Not she hasn't done shitty things but better late than never since her seat is for life.
- The constitution is the leopard.

Liberal "resistance" consists of devoting your entire life to serving a violent empire while wearing a wacky costume, then turning up your nose at the physical manifestation of your work.

- ACB is not a liberal.
  
  In the traditional meaning of the words, all Republicans and Democrats are conservative liberals. Does that seem like an oxymoron? It's not, we've just twisted the word liberal to mean not conservative in the US. Progressive is a much better word for people who are against the conservative agenda.
