“It’s right here, big as Dallas:” I love the way Senator Kennedy speaks. This dude sure was squirming over those tweets.

You’d sound defensive, too, if a senator erroneously attributed tweets to you. Turns out Kennedy was wrong.

@@paulvandenberg5341 Not if you remember that 'Under God' was not in the Pledge as originally written. It was tacked on in the 50's as part of the cold war propaganda. It supposedly implied that Russians were godless and evil, was the thinking behind it.

These folks need to be called out on this nonsense. If your implying a Justice is crooked give their name. And ask for an investigation. unbelievable ....

@@josephkostinko739 We could waste time on that...but all the "evidence" has already been uncovered by the harpies in the media...and he did literally nothing wrong by any rational definition. Unless you contend that after swearing their oath of office, Justices are no longer allowed to have any human contact outside the courtroom...in which case they probably all need to be investigated.

Angela it is horrible that any person that should be trusted and cannot be should drop out. The Democratic policy is to deny deny deny and you take comfort that are being brought to explain why they take advantage of us. That shows you are monitoring their. Now I not being politically neutral would discern that it is going the wrong way. I am on the side of truth and honor so I imagine you also feel that in the other side of the aisle you recognize that number 45 and his cronies are guilty of the same thing. Any Dem or Rep that insist honesty regardless of party is a person looking out for their country and not their party.
