I’ll check back in a couple of hours to see what is really happening.
What's really bizarre is that they don't mind being played for fools. They still consider Feinstein their "good friend and colleague," I have no doubt. She and the Dems on the committee played dirty and crapped all over Grassley and the Republicans (not to mention poor Kavanaugh), and all Grassley can say is, "Please, sir, can I have some more?" At a minimum you would think they'd fight back out of a sense of self-respect.
Watch for some hints in the next few days that one of the key red-state Democrats up for re-election this year is starting to get sick of this process.
If she testifies, here’s what I think she’s thinking: this is a replay of Anita Hill against Clarence Thomas. Hill didn’t stop the confirmation of Thomas, but she did come out of the hearings very nicely. Her career blossomed. She is now a professor at a prestigious university and a feminist icon who can sell books and command major fees for her speeches. It was all upside for Anita Hill. And if Ford does testify she will likely reap the same rewards. Or at least she expects to. And why not? The Dems and the left will certainly reward her for destroying a man’s reputation, and attempting to keep him off the SC. As with Anita Hill, there is no downside. It’s all upside.
She will testify until she decides not to......
The oath.
She’ll testify on term to be worked out. Translation - she’ll dictate the terms on a take it or leave it basis, and the Republicans will fold. There is a bright side - her story is weak for all to see, and Kav will be able to testify for all to see.
Assuming she allows Kav to be able to rebut. So far, she demands that she go last.
I have to ask. Are there any women on the GOP side in all of this? Any women at all who will put their foot down on this woman’s shenanigans?!
In other words, nothing's changed.
Right. Until we hear from Grassley then we don’t really know if the committee is going along with this or not. If they do then I have no respect for any of them.
Does no one in the entire Republican party have any pull with Flake, Collins, or Murkowski?
It’s their waffling on the vote that is the underlying cause of this catastrophic circus.
Don’t forget bendy straws and 30 minuet pee breaks.
Ah, White House says this is just a delaying game and that she hasn’t agreed to anything, just running out the clock.
Jong-in? I hate this auto-fill-in crap!
I will gladly pay you on Wednesday for a hamburger on Tuesday.
Wimpy
This will be a 3 ring circus and I hope this fraud will be made to look like a complete fool. Bring on the popcorn and beer, it’s going to be fun.
Don’t blame the Democrats for fighting. They clearly understand what is at stake here. Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court will be catastrophic for liberalism.
Blame the Republican senate. Never has a more cowardly legislative body existed in DC.
I dont blame the Democrats for fighting, but I blame them for the manner in which they are fighting. As for the Republicans, they might not be responsible for their behavior. Cowardice might be so much a part of their nature that they cannot be expected to act on moral principles. Poor souls.
She always claimed to testify under her conditions. I thought Grassley said the deadline was to accept the conditions. So, nothing has changed except Grassley being bitch-slapped again.
WHY DID YOU SCRUB YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
2nd Question
GIVE US THE COPY OF THE ORIGINAL UNREDACTED LETTER (AND ANY OTHER CORRESPONDENCE) YOU SENT TO SENATOR FEINSTEIN - AKA THE ACTUAL ACCUSATION.
Just an FYI for you ... LOL.
