The confirmation process of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court was one of the most tumultuous in American history, with Kavanaugh accused by multiple women of disturbing and predatory behavior in his youth.

Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings only made the matter worse, with him berating the Senators for questioning him and displaying erratic behavior throughout the hours of questioning.


Nevertheless, Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Court by the Senate despite his unpopularity among the American people.

But though his appointment signaled a growing conservative dominance on the nation's highest court, Kavanaugh is proving to be a disappointment to the Republicans who vigorously defended him throughout his confirmation process, as well as some of his fellow conservatives on the Supreme Court.

This past week, Kavanaugh cast the deciding vote against allowing the Supreme Court to take up a handful of election lawsuits in support of former President Donald Trump in his lies about the 2020 election being "stolen" from him.

Staunch conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his dissent:

"One wonders what this Court waits for. We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling."

In an op-ed for the right wing American Greatness site, Julie Kelly wrote:

"The Trump-appointed justices' alliance with the liberal wing of the Supreme Court is not a betrayal of Republicans or the president who appointed them. It's a betrayal of the Constitution."

They weren't the only dismayed conservatives.





But not everyone was disappointed.






While pro-Trump lawsuits have repeatedly failed, GOP state legislatures have unleashed an onslaught of attacks on the right to vote.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
