Wow, they do sound more like texts
If so, even more embarrassing than this ridiculous debacle!

Every tweet he's made is like that though, for years and years.

I'm sorry, but it's time to accept reality. This is not a "hack," it's delayed till tomorrow again.

FWIW he didn’t say that he’d changed the date for her to testify
he just said he’d extended the deadline for her to agree to testify.

It’s him, confirmed by staff

Is that a confirmation of the tweet or just an explanation of the state of things?

This will probably all be cleared up by tomorrow.

Well, anyone using teener verbiage in their tweets probably shouldn’t be a Senator.

He likely employs his nephews to tweet for him. They probably work cheap.

Well, obviously both.
There’ speculation that the Kav tweet and the “2nd trombone” tweet were intended to be DM. Doesn’t address that.

Then stop being so freaking stupid and indecisive. Just hold the vote and move on to the full senate.

I’m starting to get the impression this dirt bag Grassley is milking this for all the attention he can get.

God I hate pols. I just want to pinch their heads off their scrawny worthless necks.

As I understand it, there are 33 Senators up for re-election and 25 of them are Democrats. Nine or so of those Democrats are in red states that were won by Trump.

McConnell and Grassley have the power to prevent these Senators from going home to campaign during the critical five or so weeks prior to the election.

I know of no Supreme Court cases that need deciding in the next two months. There is more time than people realize to get this job done and more Democrats are going to want to end this fight as time goes on.

What I am claiming does depend upon us holding the Senate. That is absolutely key. Confirming Kavenaugh prior to the election is less important.

ON MARCH 17TH, 2017 CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD POSTED ON FACEBOOK That “Someone Needs To Come Forward And Accuse Neil Gorsuch Of Rape To Derail His SCOTUS Nomination” !!.

Ah! So that must be where the rumor arose that she had made the same complaint to Feinstein about Gorsuch as she later made about Kavanaugh.

They don't put up much of a fight on their own turf, let alone the RATs. [sigh]

Forget the rule of law, throw the Constitution and any senate rules out the window...it's all about how they "look". We elect those guys to stand up for us and make those difficult RIGHT decisions, even if it's not the popular decision.
They are letting the left throw a wrench in our gov't processes. Kavannaugh may get confirmed, but all this hell he and the rest of America has gone thru will be repeated again and again. You can count on it. It's time they were put in their place.

I'm not sure what she, her lawyers, democrats, the left - whoever is behind all of it - is stalling for, but it can't be anything honest or good.

I hope some of you DC Freepers are planning on attending the #WalkAway March. We've known for a long time, of course, but many are finally waking up to what the left is really all about. It's GREAT!

His twitter feed is full of teeny bopper abbreviated lingo. I don’t think it’s a hack.

What’s happening is he’s a big softy like most of us conservatives are, contrary to the leftist stereotype. They’re a bunch of hateful Jacobin lunatics and assume we’re the same way, but we’re not. This is the basic asymmetry of our politics.

Grassley’s going to let things slip a bit out a sense of decency but he’ll make sure the confirmation stays on track, because he’s not a dunce.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Could just be another stupid rumor.

She does like the word "derail."

But of course, somebody making fake news would know that.

I don’t know what Grassley is thinking but I know what happened.

He set a deadline of 5PM and Ford said it was too tough to comply.
Grassley extended it to 10PM ... and Ford said “you big meany!”
He responded that the vote was set for Monday.
Then he let the left howl for a couple of hours.
Now he extended the deadline another day.

How much longer can the left sustain the “you’re unfair” complaint?
