Aretha Franklin was welcomed by every President for decades. Could not find a photo of her with Pres John F. Kennedy or Pres Nixon.

But here is Franklin with a representative sample of every Presidential photo I could find, including the current President

#Respect
Aretha Franklin, far left, performs at Jimmy Carter's Presidential Inaugural Gala on January 20, 1977.

Did not find a photo of the two of them together.
And of course Aretha Franklin will always be remembered as moving us to tears of joy during the Administration of President Barack Obama
President Obama and Aretha Franklin. Pure joy
It was Tuesday, January 20. We watched. We watched, proud of the United States ... "it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop"

We cried tears of joy

President @BarackObama

The historic 2009 Presidential Inauguration

Tim Gionet's a Trump supporter. His family operates Russian Encouragement Ministries

He's 1 of the "fine people" Trump & Republicans defend while they call citizens like us a mob because we don't want another lying sexual predator in a position of power

This is a photo of Trump signing Gionet's arm. Photo & additional information, like his access to GOP convention businessinsider.com/who-is-baked-a…
Video recorded by phone of Trump supporter Tim Gionet shows some of the "counter protestors" in Charlottesville from prospective of Nazis

See the people, like us, protesting against Nazis?

According to Republicans ... we're the problem, we're the mob

Heather Heyer was killed in this spot by violent racists on Aug 12, 2017 when Nazi Trump supporters, many of them armed, swarmed Charlottesville

Trump, "they were very nice people."

Raising our voices about another lying GOP sexual predator? A mob

VOTE

Trump & Republicans. Jeff Flake, Mark Rubio ... "both sides”

It's a lie.

Speaking out & taking to the streets, raising our voices and demanding respect for women, that children be released from cages, that facts matter ... that is civilized.

VOTE

Still shots of the people protesting Nazis, racists & white supremacists in Charlottesville From the camera of Trump supporter Tim Gionet.

Showing up and shouting loud for decency? That's not a mob ...

This is what democracy looks like

It's staggering that women Senators like @DebFischerNE of Nebraska just ignore the evidence on Kavanaugh. This is not how a Senator should react🙈🙉

A sworn affidavit accuses him of drugging women w Quaaludes & alcohol

Next tweet, the yearbook offers leads for the FBI
Kavanaugh friends with references to "Killer Qs" in their yearbook entries with some slight variations.

Only Urgo mentions 151 with killer Qs.

There is an allegation girls were incapacitated by a punch spiked w grain alcohol & drugs, perhaps Quaaludes
To hear @DebFischerNE be so uppity & dismissive ...

There is one reason she ran for the Senate - to reduce her own taxes.

She does one part of a Senator's job. She poses for photos.

I don't get these fake, rich, zombies like Fischer. She doesn't even seem human

"I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye & say, "We shall overcome." I saw Nixon resign & Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over"

"I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise & Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc & Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City."
"I saw George W. Bush struggle of make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing 'Amazing Grace' in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina" - @CharlesPPierce

Kavanaugh repeatedly lied. He signed a letter to his friends about their beach week rental: “FFFFF, Bart"

He was asked several times about the name Bart. He was under oath & lied every time. Here is one example w his own letter next to his perjury
@JeffFlake
@SenatorCollins
Kavanaugh was asked at least 4 times about being referred to as "Bart."

From the hearing transcript:

LEAHY: I’m trying to get a straight answer from you under oath. Are you Bart Kavanaugh that he’s referring to, yes or no? That’s it...

KAVANAUGH: You’d have to ask him.
