WOW. Thanks.
What you lay out sounds good. Even knowing how this is supposed to turn out all the flying monkeys can still be unnerving.
From this thread, a comment, and then LS’s analysis.
Tentative agreement reached for Kavanaugh-Ford hearing on Thursday, source says
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3689817/posts?page=97#53
Lysandru:
Suppose Senator Grassley follows the FR Consensus and tells the Democrats to pound sand—but Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are not yet on board. Then you have the danger of the nomination failing to be confirmed. If you were in Grassley’s position (and McConnell’s), would you risk bringing on the final vote unless you were assured that the outcome was going to be what you wanted?
Claire McCaskill and the other Red State Demonrats have their covering fire already—you cant count on any of them rolling over.
LS:
You are mostly correct. Im going to ping my list here because of what I think is happening:
First, the schedule: Senate rules require only a day after a cloture vote before a full floor vote. When the Judiciary Committee finally votes K out of committee for a floor vote, the DemoKKKrats will throw another tantrum and try to filibuster. This will take about a day. Yertle will then call for a cloture vote to end the filibuster. Rs will win that. So you will have about two days from the Judiciary Committee passing the nomination out to the floor until K is confirmed by a floor vote.
Second, it is a myth that if things are delayed, Judge K cant vote in this term. Rubbish. Clarence Thomas wasnt confirmed until Oct. 15. He would be recused from any oral arguments heard before he was seated, I think, but Im not even sure hed be recused then. No, Judge K will be fully ready when confirmed.
Third, Grassley has been fantastic, as has Yertle, but Grassley has a Flakey problem. The committee is 11-10 (which is a reason you want a BIG senate majority, when this crap cant happen) .
Flakey told Grassley would not vote yes to let the nomination out of committee. That in itself might not pose a danger, in that Grassley can still just go straight to the floor without a committee recommendation. But in this case, that would be extremely dangerous, because it would give cover to Tom Collins and MurKowSki to vote no. He doesnt want to do that. So he is humoring Flakey.
Sean Trende reported Flakey was going to vote present on the Judiciary Committee vote-but Flakey denied it, while still not saying hed vote yes. (BTW his Twitter feed is inundated by lefties demanding he vote no.)
As an Arizonian, I think Flakey is engaging in his last giant showboat hurrah, and wants the hearing so he can look compassionate to women, then will vote yes.
We can lose 1, or even 2 (and Pence would break a tie). But this would look very, very bad, when your majority cannot even gather a majority vote for a perfect USSC candidate.
Im more convinced than ever that FinkStink screwed up big time in her strategy. This was hatched in July when she got the letter, but in July, there were still idiots out there saying the DemoKKKrats could take the Senate. Now in reality that hope is less likely than the Jamaican Bobsled Team putting a flag on Mars.
It was planned as follows, I think: Wait until the last minute. Launch the allegation. Delay the hearing or confirmation until the mid-terms. DemoKKKrats win the midterms. THEN demand that no judge be confirmed since the people have spoken and a new Senate is coming in as of January. Hope Rs cave to that.
This death machine got turned on in July, and I think FinkStink kind of forgot about it, and when she launched, the feeble-minded FinkStink forgot that it had hinged on DemoKKKrats taking the senate. She couldnt turn it off.
Lost in all this was the likelihood that not only was Balless Edsel lying about her experience, but that the lies would be so exposed that in fact it would drag FinkStink herself into the fray.
I dont think this is over for her. Judge K will be confirmed, as I think Flakey, post-grandstanding, will be a yes. But now the real digging into what did FinkStink know and when did she know it will start.
One last thing: Judge K was Trumps choice . . . but he was also high on the Bushies list. FinkStink is like Hitler declaring war on not one, but two massive superpowers, either of which could crush her. Not a smart move.
I deplore listening to the traitorous illegal immigrant. Do you have a key sentence or 3 you could share in text?
Thank you. Was having a major mental block. Kept trying to think of an “office”. Duh!
You’re welcome, JM.
Just a further note FWIW, while I enjoy listening to what he has to say, I’m not 100% on board with some of what he posits, specifically his take on Mueller. Mueller’s extremely evil history is the reason why I look askance at the slightest possibility of him (and his BFF Rosenstein) being anything but the darkest of hats.
I think it’s important to keep an open mind about what we don’t know, and respectively consider what others have to say.
Happy listening!
Davey Dear. You’ll need to make sure you differentiate your comments from the post more.
Others will think you were the one writing “WT*” otherwise.
I know what you meant, and it’s a quote.
[Kit] FReeQs, who is this Civano character? I don’t know. Mongo just pawn in great game of life.
I. Me. I.
Listen to me you youngsters over there!
I. Me. I.

I never saw the letter before
I thought Leland was a boy’s name the first time(s), too - it wasn’t until later I became sure she was who she is (if having been married to Beckel and still his exec. producer qualifies as such lol)
somewhere I posted the article about her husband’s interview - he said she was so upset about Kavanaugh she started loking into moving to NZ..
I’ve still never seen the letter - just that text - to Feinstein; yet there is this other congresswoman in the picture too. Given what we know now, it’ll be interesting to see the name Leland in there and what she disclosed about her lifelong friendship with her, too, and her denial of these events.
NOTE - she says there are 5 people, she’s upstairs with two, then they go down and are talking with the other people (meaning the other two including Leland).
Shouldn’t her husband have known before that? Given the fear of flying ever since, etc.

You are right that the media is full of brain-washing messages, symbolism and snares... I hardly watch anything current, and I taught my son at least in rudimentary fashion how to recognize and resist the misleading traps buried in the media. Disney is no longer a family-friendly company (if they ever were) - they are demonic and leading our children, especially the children of conservative patriots into a rebellious destruction.
In truth I have to say that the media [film, tv, print, etc.] has done an astounding job of fooling a vast part of the population of the western world [I can't speak for the rest.] I was pleased to hear that Wm Cooper (of the video) adhered to his Christian beliefs; the same occult symbolism he speaks of occurs in the Bible also. It is not the symbols that are occult - it is the way that they are used. As John the Evangelist says, The Light shone in Darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
The Bible is the Word of G*d thus naturally it contains many mysteries of creation which may be represented by certain symbols which are - as Jung might say - universal. Anyone who has practiced Freudian psychological counseling and dream interpretation can speak on this comfortably. Like all the tools that creation and human ingenuity has provided, they can be used for good or bad. The internet is a perfect example. Vast {{half vast ;^) }} knowledge is available here for learning and growth, but the web is also used for pornography, gambling, crime, etc. It is the nature of the world that we live in.
Interesting post; thanks.
Anyone have a guess where Dr. Ford is? “

Blue dress is my guess
I just did a post on symbolism, a phenomenon that the human mind is constantly responding to [e.g. dreams]. In those initial hearings recently, the symbolism conveyed was who was in control. Did Grassley and the 'pubbies appear to be in control? Not in the least. Everything since then has gone contrary to reason and logic.
