Hearing won't be about nominee, they will only be a Trump-bashing fest.
This.
just skip the hearings. they’ll be a freak show.
who cares? they’re toast.
No problem, I have an umbrella ready to go. :-)
I hope you are correct about Mitch maintaining control. What happened to Kavanaugh was Grassleys fault. He wanted to play nice with his friends across the isle and totally lost control of the process.
Those "women and grandmothers" helped flip 41 seats to the democrats just 1 month after the Kavanaugh fiasco. They gave us Speaker Pelosi, a sham impeachment, and stalled Trumps agenda for the past 2 years. I hope they have learned from their woke, feminist hysteria. Those claiming the dems can't work these hearings in their favor have forgotten 2018. Some are the same folks who were predicting increased majorities.
Graham needs to run these hearings with an iron fist. He needs to warn them up front that at the first indication they are trying to turn the hearings into a circus, he will immediately vote to forward the nominee to the full senate. Maybe without that traitor Jeff Flake to screw them, they can actually get it done.
How about NO HEARINGS...just a vote.
That is not true- they thankfully kept obama’s last appointment from being inflicted on us.
because they utterly, completely, unashamedly, and without reservation HATE him. The hatred is so complete that I suspect it’s supernaturally fueled.
Dispense with the hearings already. Not required. Not necessary.
Not being able to showboat in the hearing setting would just drive the RATs over the edge.
Maybe they’ll recall how they dealt with Barr’s hearing as they shouted, “Reclaiming my time!” and wouldn’t let him speak. They were in charge then; GOP is in charge now.
Two can play that game.
Absolutely. Graham was pushing back against the dems, and tried his best to stop the delays, additional investigations and general clown show. Grassley's weakness dragged the confirmation into the mud and opened the door for Flake to betray us.
Both Mitch and Lindsey are going to keep this nomination on track. No doubt the dems will find ways to create spectacle, and their media friends will amplify and agitate for them. But Mitch is Mitch, and Graham is not Grassley.
Wasnt she recently fully vetted for the position she currently holds? Why would they need to go through it again if Barrett is the nominee.
Correct. The nominee hearing is a stalking horse to bring out the Democrat crazy senators.
In a posting to an earlier article, I wrote the Democrats will make spectacular a**es of themselves and underscore, once again, why they do not deserve the public’s confidence or votes. That it might happen in late October just prior to the elections is a gift from the electoral gods. The visuals of “Spartacus” Booker and “Hiawatha” Warren ripping into a distinguished woman judge will be political ad gold in and of themselves.
The Democrats behavior could almost be considered reflexive except that it is really cynical pandering to the far left/liberal elements of the party whom the main party pros (eDems?) are terrified of.
What I said *is* true.
Don’t mean to be insulting, but I didn’t need you to tell me that, it’s quite obvious already...I knew it would be nasty the instant I heard she had finally assumed room temperature.
Wellllll... Sorry then.
In my defense I’ll mention that I am only a dumb bass player. I know guitar players have all they can do just to tolerate us.
whollycrud you’re right, and I was wrong.
Shh.. don’t tell anyone it will upset my perfect record
:)
Umm I think you misinterpreted my comment. I said I wasn’t trying to be insulting, I meant that. Just making an observation.
I was not trying to be insulting, sarcastic or snarky, ok maybe a little sarcastic, but nothing derogatory towards you.
As far as bass players go, the one who taught me to run a lathe was one of the best machinists in the Houston area, and ran a cnc mill, did the programming too, the one in the band I’m retiring from now is also an excellent keyboard player, and far from what I would consider “dumb”, so no, I don’t automatically have that opinion of bass players...
WHat instrument youplay has nothing to do withyour intelligence level, quite teh contrary, in general musicians and artistically inclined individuals tend to be a bit more inteligent than average. Personality may be a little different. I’ve heard many people say drummers are flaky and keyboard players are just plain weird...your mileeage may vary...
Yes, so not sure why they are going to make her go through hearing.
