      Thanks Austin.

      But seriously, if you’re just aware of it, you should know the gist of it. I was expecting the video to be her doing the wrong side first, no biggie. But she really found a new creative way to screw it up. I’m surprised she didn’t accidentally do the Macarena.

        No, for the Macarena she ends up with one of her legs behind her head while flapping her arms like an ostrich.

      Yeah, but she can only find testicles when in the audience of a musical with a bunch of children in attendance.

    This certainly supports Jamie Raskin’s claim that they all got drunk after coming back from the Trump trial…

    Not that I’m on her side, but if she’s not catholic she’s not going to know it. I grew up Baptist and never once did it.

      I think a more pertinent question is, why is any Congressmember making overt religious motions at an official hearing?

      I grew up Lutheran and it was a common thing, but how dumb do you have to be to not know how to draw a cross on your body?

    Come on guys, just because she tells everyone else what to believe doesn’t mean she actually goes to church. I mean, she’s heard of it.

    How and when one makes the sign of the cross is not universal across denominations. That said, bobo’s a clown.
