    I don't know how these politicians maintain their composure.
    I am a very even tempered person, have never had a fight or hit someone in anger, but I think I would knock the s*** out of the shrieking woman.

    My defense would be her shouting triggered a time when a man yelled at me in an enclosed space.

    Yep. Leftist crackpots can yell at, lie about, and generally abuse a conservative, and he is expected to hear them out, take them seriously, and show them the utmost respect. Anything less, and he is considered and unhinged jerk. Fortunately, I sense that dynamic changing. People like that woman shouldn't be taken seriously.

    O'Keefe says he was put on probation for 3 years for walking into a Senators office and asking a question - so screaming or yelling, no squatting, no threats

    Sen. Menendez (of all people) --
    "That report — if that's an investigation, it's a bullshyt investigation. The reality is that is not a full and thorough investigation."


    Sen. Graham (of all people) reply --
    "Let me tell it to my friend, Bob: What y'all have done is bullshyt. If they ever write a book about overplaying your hands in politics, this is it. It's in the first chapter."

    Leland Keyser, Ford's BFF who Ford identified as being present in the house where she was allegedly assaulted, told the FBI that she felt pressured by Ford’s allies to revisit her initial statement that she knew nothing about an alleged assault.

    Go figure.

    I suppose we should be thankful there exists one Democrat with some integrity left -- Leland Keyser

    Also, the McClean woman named here is the same one in the circle 10 posts above. She worked under Comey in DC and with Comey in the SDNY office. It is starting to look like she may be the leaker of Ford's name to the media, via Feinstein's office

    Do we have any Mds in here? Can you confirm that it is now too late to abort any Senator who votes 'no'?

    NBC is reporting there are people drinking PBR from red Solo cups outside Mitch McConnell’s house this morning, chanting “I like beer.”

    Another interesting "coincidence"
    The guy on the right
    One of the two lead attorneys for Ford
    Can you guess who he also represents?

    But wait, there's more.

    You will never guess who is the lawyer for Monica McLean (see above) -- David Laufman, the former head of the DOJ's National Security Division’s Counterintelligence arm. Laufman suddenly and without notice "quit" back in Feb.

    Want to guess what he was doing before "quitting"?

    Laufman was involved with the Carter Page FISA warrant's
    Laufman participated in the July 2016 interview of Hillary Clinton
    Laufman was involved with the investigation of General Mike Flynn
    Laufman was protected from review by the OIG (Michael Horowitz) by Sally Yates

    Just another small world story?

    The DOJ National Security Division is where most of the anti-Trump Group at DOJ came from such as Bruce Ohr and John Carlin. They are gone now.

    Oh cut him some slack...not much, but some...he actually had a post that appeared to be original thought as opposed to simply cutting and pasting the daily drivel from whatever conspiracy site he gets his thoughts from...

    Manchin just voted yes to send vote to floor tomorrow
    Collins and Flake voted yes
    Murkowski voted no

    It seems Ford was corralled into this by her beach friend, who took an admittedly questionable memory into a highly politicized situation. I don’t think Ford thought this through or realized how much of a tool she was going to be treated. The analyst notes and the lie detector stuff will show how uncertain Ford is regarding Kavanaugh at the party.

    The cloture vote was 51-49
    The two flips were Murkowski (no) and Manchin (yes)

    Did we just witness the end of Murkowski's political career?

    The vote also raises the question of whether Mitch, now that he has the upper hand, is moving too fast?
    If he wanted to be really political about it, he would delay the vote to Monday, Nov 5.

    I don't think she is stupid exactly but for sure she has some mental issues. It is sad to see how one person could cause so much damage and chaos.
    I wish there could be some consequences for her and all of them. Instead she will get at least 1 million .

    Obviously not...although it is not a surprise given that we already knew from their choice of swill that they have no taste.

    Manchin voted Yes. Murkowski voted No. She needs to get shitcanned. That needs to be the end of her career.

    Manchin just secured his reelection, but he just blew his welcome in the modern Democratic Party. It's time to make a major push for him to switch parties. He's a decent man and was never very liberal. He's way too good for those jokers. I'd start by offering him a committee chairmanship in the next Congress. How about Energy and Natural Resources? It would be very important to a guy from West Virginia, and it would be stripped from . . . Lisa Murkowski. It's a perfect move. You reward a guy who showed some courage and punish a disloyal hack with one move.

    Murkowski is a big NO.

    Must have Susan Collins, who will announce her decision on Senate floor at 3PM.

    Flake voted for cloture, so you'd assume that if he doesn't get screamed at in an elevator again, he's a yes. They say he'll wind up a lobbyist and doesn't want to piss off his Republican buddies.

    Manchin is from a state that voted for Trump by a wide margin. He'll probably vote yes to save his a@@.

    What a cowardly vote by Murkowski! RNC should devote unlimited resources towards any primary opponents.

    And Leland Keyser did change her statement after the pressure. She went from saying that she wasn't at the party or there was no party to saying she just couldn't remember and she believes Ford.

    I don't like Kavanaugh, but I want him confirmed just to shut up all these liars.

    Collins just went off on dems. Feinstein must be shaken big time at this moment. Collins basically took a dump on Ford and the circus that rode into town last week.

    She sounds so pro Kavanaugh why was she pretending she didn't know how she would vote?
