Judge Jackson answered questions for 24 hours over two days. Just breaking the record from a husband who was texting his ex. I mean, she barely was able to keep the what the f... are you talking about face on by the end. I mean, Josh Hawley, you know, all these Republicans, you know, implied she was soft on child porn.

Hello to everyone. Did he really mean "to keep that face on"? Because I'd expect "to keep that face off" instead, that is - that she was trying hard to look polite. In the original, however, the meaning is opposite.

I really question how much value there is in dissecting the monologues of a late night clown.

Nevertheless, he did mean "on." According to the leftist narrative, Jackson is a brave hero who shows her contempt for any questioning of her judicial record by those mean, old Republicans. She was not hiding it.
