Okay, guys, are rub-and-tug sessions just common things lots of judges have

with their guy friends who have hired ladies to join parties on boats?

It was Kavanaugh's friend who wrote that email joke, and then Kavanaugh replied back with a reminder for everyone to keep things quiet, even from spouses.

I'm just thinking about this in the context of the new letter. Maybe Kavanaugh's carousing didn't end with high school.

In response to the outcry, some previously confidential documents were made public Thursday, including a chain where Kavanaugh and his friends were planning a male-bonding trip on a boat from Sept. 7-9, 2001. (Read the emails here and here.)

In one email, an unnamed friend makes a racist joke about whether they’ll get a “rub-n-tug massage session”:

After the trip, there’s lots of virtual high-fiving all around, including an email from Kavanaugh in which he talks about gambling, getting aggressive and keeping secrets. That email was dated Sept. 10, 2001.

They sure as hell don't like truth, integrity, or loyalty to America. So I guess rub and tug is another one of their republican THINGs.

A Veterans Today article back in 2016 (?) mentioned he had been accused of pedophilia. I have no idea if that is true. Of course there were all kinds of conspiracy theories going on after his death. I googled it and did not see much else on it, so who knows?

There are some judges who eventually think they can do whatever they want to do. Not most, but some.

way with those in the circles of power and politics. I'm thinking the hill in Washington DC has a very dirty seedy side to it.

I’ll go out on an extremely sturdy limb here and posit that >50% of Occidental men have been beneficiaries of a handy from a chick whose name they didn’t know.
