My new nickname for Flake...
Posted on 09/28/2018 10:57:52 AM PDT by C19fan
Sen. Jeff Flake just said he would vote to move Judge Brett Kavanaugh out of the Judiciary Committee and to the floor of the Senate as long as the main vote would be delayed by up to one week to allow for an FBI investigation.

Flake always has as an objection.
When one objection is resolved
he moves on to another objection.
And then he will move the goal post again.

Yep. Flake is playing games. SOROS paying off these bastards.
It’s do or die for us as well. This is something they might understand.
That's going to get his vote?
The FBI “report” will probably be no different than what we heard yesterday at the hearing a “he-said/she-said” All the witnesses are going to stand by their statements and the “victim” has nothing to add.
The linch-pin in this is going to be the attorneys for Ford delaying the interviews with the FBI. They are in concert with the Dems and will try and delay as long as possible.
Go pick on a Democrat
No one attacked you. Grow a thicker skin. All I pointed out was that there isn't going to be a majority -- with or without a tie-breaker vote.
Think about it. Yesterday, every RAT in the room hammered away at him, badgering him to ask for an FBI investigation -- even though they all knew it would settle nothing!
Then, today, they tweaked flake until he caved.
If they knew an FBI investigation would accomplish a big fat NOTHING, they why were they SO intent on having one?
Basic logic: Because they had a different motive.
What does a one week delay give them? It gives them one week! What will they do with that week? The same thing they've been doing -- but with one new factor.
They will roll out more "victims" -- but now they will be able to demand a "one week delay" for EACH of them -- and they'll get it, because precedent has been set.
Remember -- these are streetfighters, going up against "gentlemen boxers" -- the RATs bring knives to a streetfight -- the republicans bring a copy of The Marquis of Queensbury Rules.
Of course they'll give "sufficient time" (none of this "one week" nonsense) for each one. After all, it'd only be fair, and besides, precedent has been established, so really, we've no choice in the matter, we simply had to grant this reasonable request.
That's how I see it rolling out. And they'll keep it up until he withdraws (yeah, he said he wouldn't -- but he's no fool; when he sees the handwriting on the wall, he's not going to subject his family to endless, ever-increasing abuse for NO REASON) -- or, until Trump withdraws his name (he can read the handwriting on the wall too.)
Or, if they both hang on, they'll keep it up until the election, hoping to turn the tide in the Senate. And if that happens and they don't get a majority, they'll keep delaying.
And as to the republican "majority" -- why would anyone think the RATs wouldn't stoop to using the same tactics against the Senators?
How many of them would rather go through this kind of abuse, when they can simply cave, and avoid it?
Remember hillary and the "900 FBI files"? The left is ruthless when it comes to placing their adversaries in check -- especially when then know their adversaries have never been in a real streetfight.
Nice job Flake....such an idiot. Soro’s soldiers will be dragging $20 dollar bills through every trailer park in New England this weekend.
So F all these red state (D) Senators
Especially those that can be voted out
For Gods sake RNC take a few bucks out
of your coffers and run some attack ads
Crypto-liberals think the Trump led GOP is the same as
the Romney led GOP...SAD!
Yes that’s quite probable and likely. The Dem’s have proven through this process that they don’t take fairness/justice seriously. Their agenda is Power at all costs. What is the antidote? Win elections. What would happen if Republicans win the races in Missouri, West Virginia, Florida, Indiana, North Dakota, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, and other states in November?
A few dates to keep in mind

We could certainly see another Supreme Court vacancy or more in the next 18 months.
Sadly, no there won't. If they approve him then you may see riots in the streets. Conservatives do no riot, they work for a living, Soros gives them nothing.
Don't be so sure of that. Not all Trump voters are like you and me. There are a lot of "disenfranchised" voters, at the end of their rope, who voted for Trump in the desperate hope that he could undo the destruction created by decades of leftist rule.
There are millions of them that wish they could work, and millions more stuck in godawful jobs -- hard work, low pay.
Flyover country is vast and wide, and the people living there are not all exactly thriving.
I've seen the full spectrum. I grew up in NYC, and I've lived in rural Michigan for decades. Before that, I lived in Grosse Pointe Park for a while. Then, a college town, where I had a downtown store in a struggling community.
I was appointed by the Republican governor to two terms as a Michigan HMO Commissioner -- and I've worked in vile factories for minimum wage.
Like I said, I've seen the full spectrum. "The above" barely scratches the surface. I'm pushing 70 now, so I've had plenty of time to observe, and to think. To recall what I've seen, and to analyze.
Yeah, there'll be fighting in the streets alright. There are plenty of people right on the jagged edge -- and they don't vote democrat. Don't forget where that scumbag McVeigh and his cohorts came from -- oh, right -- RURAL MICHIGAN. The same place that serves as a breeding ground for the likes of "The Michigan Militia" and many other outfits that make them seem like The Peace Corps.
There are scads of neo-nazis, for example. And I doubt they vote democrat either. And yes, they're really there, I'm not imagining it. One of them actually tried to recruit ME to the cause -- even after knowing I was a Jew!
Another one -- a "Town Father" type -- owned the big hardware store in the rural town near where I live -- erected a freestanding corkboard in the main aisle, so that no one could go to the checkout counter without passing by it.
He only tacked ONE thing on it: A few pages from a major neo-nazi publication.
Utterly shameless. And why shouldn't he be? This area was a hotbed of klan activity maybe half a century ago. I'm sure there are a fair number of attics with neatly folded sheets and hoods sitting in steamer trunks.
I've run into the exact same type in other parts of the country too -- it's NOT just a "Michigan thing" -- it's a "Rural America thing."
Conservatives working in good careers -- like when I was making $60/hr consulting for local government (back when $60/hr was good money) -- or doctors, lawyers, educators, business owners (of the prosperous variety, rather than the hardscrabble barely-surviving type)... airline pilots, long-haul truckers... the list goes on and on.
THEY won't be fighting in the streets. But they're not everyone -- and not everyone else is a leftist.
I'll close with a little anecdote -- something that happened about thirty years ago.
It was a few years after I was crippled in a serious car wreck. Rear-ended by a 19 year old backwoods slut that was hopped up on pills. Rammed me at 45 MPH while I was in my subcompact, stopped behind a stationwagon at an intersection.
It was several years after my divorce, and I was living alone. When I'd get sick -- bad sick; stuff like the flu, or sometimes just a "bad cold" that will knock you for a loop when your body has been wrecked -- I was not able to cook for myself. I could barely move around at all.
So, I'd go to the surplus store and the gun show when it was in town, and I'd stock up on cases of MREs (before Janet Reno forbade their sale to civilians).
They kept me alive until I was able to move around enough to prepare real food for myself.
So,I'm at the local gunshow -- once or twice a year they'd come to town -- shopping the tables for MREs. Finally, I found a guy with a big stack of cases. I bought several of them, and he put them on a cart to roll them out to my car for me.
While we're walking, he's talking. A mile a minute. He's agitated. He's sweating. He's red in the face. And, he's in the Michigan Militia.
He's telling me how they're expecting Janet Reno to do something major -- any minute now, with no warning. Ban all their guns or something, I can't remember what it was. What I do remember is his telling me how "We're ready for it" -- and then explaining how his car was packed with guns and ammunition and he was ready to go to war.
I was like, "Well, thank you for helping me with the MREs, I really appreciate it," and I couldn't get outta there as fast as I could!
He was typical of several other people "of that ilk" I've encountered.
No fighting in the streets because conservatives work for a living? Don't kid yourself. Don't live in the world you'd like to live in -- live in the world you DO live in -- a world that not very far beneath the veneer of civility is a seething mass of frustrated, disenfranchised people from all across the political spectrum.
I said I'd close with that anecdote, but I'm going to tack on two valuable freebies:
First, slap yourself in the face, hard, if you ever catch yourself saying -- or even thinking that, "It can't happen here."
Second, never forget what George Santayana said about never forgetting: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Gee, we coulda used that rock ribbed Conservative Sarah Palin in the Senate
I agree she is a diabolical cvnt, but her name is Indian.
placing bets for the next accuser eruption?
So Jeff Flake who is paying you off?
How much are they offering you??
How far do you have to take this to collect??
What do they have on you??
CSPAN2 has the senate floor speaking on this nomination.
And oh well. Yertle can do as he wants.
I fully expect it to happen here, just not our side. Our side sat back and let them get away with Ruby Ridge and Waco, then Elian and we did nothing. Well we did complain but little else except watch Snarlin Arlen while he white washed the mass murder in Waco. All we did was take the blame for OK City. (OK Submariner posted plenty on that, but she has left us.
I am 10 years older than you, born in absolute poverty in a small town in Oklahoma, I am now in Southern Oregon, on a small average, in the country. I am prepared to fend off neighbors but not organized swat/military. I got out of the military 53 years ago.
I doubt it they were pretty adamant. We have three days and Sunday's talk shows to endure until we see if Mitch really has what is needed. I suspect he is making offers to some of the wussy Dims right now. A lot of deals will be made in the next three days or the Republic will go down with a whimper. I am to old to worry about it anymore.
What a dick. His elevator “incident” was totally staged. They all keep looking at the camera, thus director, and it's all fake.
I'm glad I'm not a big Christian because I wish nothing but evil and ill will on him and his entire family. He's lashing out because he's being rejected even by the idiots in AZ that voted for McCain all these years.
He has no morals or decency. He's a mentally sick child stuck in an aging man. Self-centered puke.
Capitulate to scum like this for a vote? Why bother being in the majority?
