She won’t appear. Her Democrat minders have figured out that they can’t take the risk of putting her under oath on live TV. She’s a Wackadoodle. While Whelan’s theory has been withdrawn by Whelan himself, the Dems checked it out and found out that he has stumbled into the truth. This is over.

[Mozzafiato]

Finally. They better not back track on this deadline. Hopefully the weak-kneed Flake, Corker, Collins don’t go all wobbly.

I wonder what the dims have made up for release this weekend.

They're releasing their bowels into their adult diapers after Ed Whelan set them up the bomb yesterday...

Where? 10:00 p.m. is 12 hours past the original obamesque deadline. ⏳⏲⏰. We shall see in a few hours.

It doesn't matter. She isn't coming to testify. I've seen reports that 3 to 4 of the other kids at the party have all filed sworn statements for Senate investigators. Kavanaugh is ready to testify, too -- so we know where he stands on this.

1. Accuser makes an allegation and "demands to be heard."

2. Alleged attacked says: "OK -- I'm ready to testify in my defense at any time, and anywhere."

3. Accuser and her legal team and political handlers spend days demanding conditions for her testimony, and then making up excuses not to be there.

This clown fest is over. That's too bad, too -- because I was just starting to enjoy it.

GOP often sounds like the guy saying:
This time you made me mad. This time, unlike the last one, I’m really really mad. I’m about to make a fist. See it? I could punch you any minute....

Pull the trigger, GOP! The Dems will never pat you on the head , say Good Boy, and give you a delicious dog biscuit.

They will always call you a white racist sexist rapist enabler who let a sex criminal join Thomas the one with a sex offence rumor hanging over his head, on the Court. No matter what you do to placate the Dems or feminists.

Maybe ford can pick one up for him on her drive across the country.

[Huskrrrr]

Can I get a Duff Man Ohhh Yeaaaah!

For months, the Democrats have been using a tactic where a two-bit judge anywhere in the country can jump up and paralyze the administration. Their new tactic is to use any random person. No need for a judge.

7 PM Pacific time. Countdown clock is running

[TomGuy]

10 PM?

Wanna bet Grassley blinks?

[Mercat]

As I read it, she accepts their counteroffer by 10:00pm tonight or it’s over and the committee votes.

[zeestephen]

What is missing in this discussion is an honest debate about the Statute of Limitations.

No country and no economy can function normally if every person and every organization is vulnerable to the perpetual threat of accusations or litigation.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah but the counteroffer is for Wednesday, that is basically giving in(Since she said originally Thursday) it should be Monday or NOTHING

[Missouri gal]

I think the possible delay to Wednesday gives Republicans good cover. We stretched as far as we could...

I still think she will not testify no matter what they offer, and that is because her story is thinner than a one-layer bathroom tissue.

[DouglasKC]

They didn’t “scrap” it all. The delayed it once again and now she’ll rsvp and NOT show up.

[Sacajaweau]

She won't appear....She will be hospitalized with a minor nervous breakdown from the stress of the repressed memory.

My guess is that this chick IS on meds already.

[Cold War Veteran - Submarines]

The first real Tick Tock news I have read yet. :)

[R_Kangel]

... My guess is that the Democrat/Socialist endgame is probably to create an environment to force the Confirmation Vote without hearing any testimony from Ford .... Then afterwards Protest that her voice is being silenced by the Trump Cult of Demonic Anti American Evil White Misogynous Males.

[NetAddicted]

3 of 4 kids at the party have sworn statements? What did they say? Got a link?
