I would assume that we are. Legolas Send a noteboard - 26/09/2018 08:15:53 PM

View original postGrassley tried to rush the Thursday Hearing forcing it on Monday and forcing the rules to rules he prefers instead of negotiating the rules of the hearing. You can really see this last Thursday and Friday, especially if you read Grassley's tweets.

We all know that time is short before the election - which is why such a big deal is made about how long Feinstein sat on the issue. Of course he's in a hurry, and of course he's going to try to set conditions. Everybody knows Democratic leadership would do the same if the shoe was on the other foot. Still, they are rescheduling as needed to make the hearing happen. While the Senate Democrats are trying to make it sound as if there's not the least time pressure in the world and Grassley is a heartless asshole for not allowing Dr Ford to determine the timing and conditions all at her own leisure. Please.
View original postGrassley did not want a hearing, and if a hearing occurs it would be a hearing where he got to set up the rules.

What is the magic number? Roland00 - 25/09/2018 12:22:28 AM 487 Views

Was Dennis Hastert an Angel or was he Cancer? How about the Catholic Church? *NM* Roland00 - 26/09/2018 08:09:18 PM 231 Views
The Catholic Church is pretty much the furthest left of the major Christian denominations. Cannoli - 26/09/2018 09:49:29 PM 509 Views

The accusations may be true or may not be - but yeah, the Dems played it dirty. Legolas - 26/09/2018 07:57:23 PM 502 Views
Are we seeing the same thing? Roland00 - 26/09/2018 08:06:09 PM 443 Views

It's not about the drinking, it's about Kavanaugh lying about the drinking. Legolas - 30/09/2018 08:07:41 PM 485 Views
Even if it could be established that he drank heavily in high school damookster - 30/09/2018 09:54:34 PM 432 Views
No, but it would mean he refused to tell the truth in the Senate hearings. Legolas - 30/09/2018 10:16:22 PM 565 Views
