You're doubling down.  You're actually doubling down.

He was 14 when the war ended.  He was a Jew.  From Hungary.  You think he served in the Nazi SS? 

I hear all the Eastern European Jewish kids were clamoring to join Hitler's Youth.  Many people are saying.  A lot. 

[Bateshorn 9927]

That's pretty normal, actually.  It's very rare for a senator to buck their majority leader on a motion to proceed.  It's like supporting the rule in the House.

Yup.  Lots of examples of a Senator voting on cloture and then voting against it.

That may be true, but I don't think Flake's hero aspirations are owed to a desire to do the right thing or serve the greater good.  It has more to do with trying to set a narrative for a Presidential run and divining which option has the greater ROI.  Call it vanity or ambition, that's a distinction without difference in this case.

Exactly and how history will remember him.

good.  let's vote.  Democracy in action right here

Soros is an atheist and was a nazi collaborator.  Like..  he was an actual Nazi.  Wore a uniform, arrested jews and everything.

Nothing.  Plenty of good people are atheists.  I just find it weird that everyone on here things criticizing Soros (who is self described atheist) as being anti-Semitic.

I mean, I probably hold the American populace in lower esteem than anyone here, but this is absolutely false.

I can't remember the source but a survey came out a couple of months ago where 52% of the people couldn't name one SC justice.

It's going to be a while for the floor vote. Once you proceed there's debate.

Strange that the partisan trolls concerned about Nazis and Soros are such fervent defenders of the party aligned with white supremacists.

That's the part of that message that jumped out to you as being a big deal?

Yes, because the nazi part is obvious ignorance/trolling and something they won't address to clarify anyways. Athiests are not nazis in anyway and that slander impacts me directly. So yes, that's a big deal to point out to me.

[Hank Kingsley 20924]

It truly is incredible watching Republicans trying to spin and pin the blame on everyone but the GOP.  YOU HAVE THE MAJORITY.  No Dem can stop this confirmation. 

McConnell, Grassley, Graham, etc. are all despicable, clever fuckheads.  They yell and scream and deflect the blame off of themselves, and the Republican base eats the turd sandwich with a proud smile on their face. These senators know Rs are proudly "team over country", and they're taking advantage of their clogged fucking brains with manipulation and deceit. 

God forbid any R genuinely assesses the situation and puts the blame squarely on the GOP for this fucking clown show.  The cult and cuck like behavior reminds me of something...

 

 

WHOOOOOP!

A little late to the party, but one question has stuck with me during this month long circus:

How did we get to the point where a 85 year old windbag farmer from Iowa (a state with less than 1% of the country’s population) is leading the committee that confirms god damn Supreme Court justices to a life time appointment?? Like what the fuck

Do you even rotten borough bro?

This is why I couldn't get elected to the Senate.  I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to have a bunch of hats in front of me that say yes, no, maybe, who knows, etc. if I did this.  Then after a long drum roll I would announce my intention to sign a letter of intent to Kentucky.

Flake is a yes on cloture 

Murkowski is a NO

Manchin is a yes

Is this fair?

Atheists =/= Nazi

Atheists =/= Jewish

Soros = Atheist

Soros =/= Jewish

[Bateshorn 9927]

It's a done deal if Manchin is an aye on the motion to proceed.  He wants to be the 51st vote, not the 50th.

I had a sneaking suspicion that Murkowski is a no. She's got some "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" in her game.

Not necessarily true. The vote to confirm is much different than this vote.

My friend's Trump loving Aunt was arguing on facebook, and asked "what's your version of a devil's triangle" and I got to explain it in technical terms to a god-fearing Christian and it's been the highlight of my week.

Follow reality

Completely inaccurate.  Fucking Trumpism is just damaging peoples brains

If Murkowski is a no, he won't be confirmed tomorrow.

I don't see how Manchin voting to proceed is indicative of him voting to confirm.  Totally different ballgames.

Not necessarily true. There is a Jewish nationality and race that he could align himself with and still not be a practicing jew. Regardless, those labels mean nothing to his actions other than to distract.

Wouldn't surprise me if McConnell called the vote to try to put the screws to Manchin, assuming that he thinks Flake and Collins will fall in line.

[happyfunball 481]

Why didn't Manchin just miss the vote?

[David Dennison 18856]

Yeah, this vote tells me that as of the cloture vote, Mitch still doesn't have the votes to get this guy through.

Cover.

[Bateshorn 9927]

Y'all could be right, but what Manchin doesn't want to be is the 51st "No".  He wants to be either the 52nd "No" or the 51st "Yes".  He's a profile in courage on this vote.

as Bateshorn said, Manchin will not cast the deciding vote for Kavanaugh.  If he votes yes, it will be because Cocaine Mitch has enough Republican yes votes to confirm him.

I wonder how many senators in that chamber really don't want to take this roll call.
