The bullpen has already been called and the reliever is warm.

You just need to look at Fox News during that break.  It's apparent that Bill Shine called them overnight and let them know Kavanaugh would be pulled.  Now they're just preparing the base for that outcome.

i know it's 2018 and we are through the looking glass and shit, but re-read that last sentence. 

that's a fucking propaganda outfit. that's a description of propaganda.

Can't watch at work, but the website headlines appear to confirm your thesis.

If that's the case, they should do it before Kavanaugh gets in there and embarrasses himself.

Well, yeah.  I mean, gotta have something to counter that fucking nasty ass fake news media.

Jesus, this isn't hard you fools:  Dump Kavanaugh and nominate Amy Coney Barrett.  This isn't rocket science.

The GOP has become a party of mouth breathing morons.

I think they'll let him embarrass himself then blame the FBI for not vetting his background properly. Not the GOP's fault.

I think Hardiman gets 60 votes and is literally the easiest confirmation they could have had. Period.

Good angle.  Will be another attack to use on the FBI and their incompetence.  The rubes will eat it up.

I think it's obvious after listening to Senator Whitehouse that after this is over, the Democrats are going to try to remove Brett Kavanaugh from the DC Circuit.

I mean, there's some fertile ground there for a perjury investigation. It's not unreasonable

grassley once again defending himself, against the established procedure. 

whitehouse made a great point about the fbi investigation, and grassley is now trying to explain why they are having this hearing because they went and got in a gotdam hurry to vote this guy in. 

well done, republicans. you got what you wanted. this looks just great.

This prosecutor is acting 100% as Kavanaugh's defense attorney

I’m withholding judgment until I see her question Kavanaugh (if she does).

Anyone think a triple play by the Ds is possible? That is, get Kavanaugh pulled, lose the Senate, and get Kavanaugh impeached from his current job?

 

For the record, I still think he gets confirmed next week.

They'd be wise to nominate a woman at this point, but anything is better than this.

The difference in messaging on each side is astonishing, especially because it's the Dems who have their shit together for the first time ever.   Compare the consistent message of "the FBI needs to investigate like with Anita Hill" to Grassley's rambling.

If I was a GOP senator I wouldn't even both showing up for KAvanaugh's testimony later. 


Camera might catch them tearing up about how rough the last week has been on him.

You don't understand how Trump works.  He needs to appease his base of white supremacist misogynists who believe this may be the last chance in a while for a white man to be confirmed.  There's no way Trump nominates a woman or a minority for SCOTUS.  If he decides to throw a real curve ball, it will be Merrick Garland, but he won't, so it will be Hardiman.

So, she sometimes flies even though she doesn't like to fly.  Is that hard to understand?

i think this line of questioning was directed by republicans. and it's also a disaster.

i think she's going for a medication angle. it's also not going to work.

"you flew an airplane to hawaii, or did you take a canoe?"
