Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The vote was 50-48 in favor of Kavanaugh.

Senators Collins, Flake, and Manchin had already announced their intentions to confirm Kavanaugh before the vote was held. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was previously ready to vote "no", agreed to vote "present" instead so that Senator Steve Daines could attend his daughter's wedding instead of being present in the Senate to support Kavanaugh.

    Runaway, this is public service. Apparently some people don't know exactly what you are. Now they do, and it's imperative that they do. If you were just standing around on the subway with your dick in your hand ranting about the great jewish weather-control conspiracy or some shit, I wouldn't care. But a lot of people read this site, and I don't want you infecting them. THAT'S why I did this. You yourself register as barely a blip.

    It's amazing what a thin skin people like you and Hallow have. Almost like you can dish it out but can't take it...hm...where've I seen that before...?

    Uhhhh - yeah. Public service. And, in your post just above you're praying to AC and/or Chthulhu to tell you what the future holds. Well tuned wetware and such shitzls. And, you call ME crazy?

      References to Cthulhu are grim, dark jokes, Runaway. Cthulhu is the avatar of madness, so it seems proper to invoke his name in the modern world. And I'm playing with AC, but on the off chance he's actually onto something, it may be interesting. At worst, it's amusing.

      I notice you RWA types have some serious problems with being overly literal. Nuance is not your strong suit. And you just. Keep. Responding. To. Me. I'm guessing you're typing this standing up, with that level of butthurt?
