The obvious answer here is to threaten to withdraw GOPe boy Kavanaugh and replace him with a MAGA nom. Trump is playing ball with the beltway GOP nominating W.’s boy and they are spitting in our faces in return.

Are there any MAGA judges out there?

Would any of them realistically have a chance to be confirmed?

Who's to say Democrats won't concoct another story to take down a MAGA nominee?

If the Senate GOP are not going to play ball for W’s boy Kavanaugh then there is no reason not to salt the earth. I’m sure the Trump DOE can find an environmental study to delay ANWAR exploration if Murkowski if isn’t in line, etc., etc. All these limp wristed GOP Senators have weak spots. This isn’t rocket silence. President Trump has been very patient with this den of beltway thieves. I have no doubt his patience is running out.

[He has an aversion to enforcing party discipline on major legislation and his unwillingness at playing hardball with RINO’s like Corker, Collins and Flake on major votes like the Kavanaugh Confirmation!]


*No one* can enforce party discipline because campaigns are funded by each individual pol who has to raise his own funds from private sources and win his own primary to become the nominee before running in the general. Party discipline is easy in parliamentary systems because the party provides their sole funding and can strike them off the list of party candidates. No one can remove a Republican nominee’s name off the ballot, and the funds he raises are his to spend even if he loses in the general. Corker and Flake are leaving, so it’s not clear what hardball means. I suspect Collins would win Maine even if she ran as an independent. In fact, doing so might even improve her chances of winning. And it would deprive the GOP of a fairly reliable vote.

They are talking about Wed. not Mon. Also Ford has the FBI involved in death threats made against her. Any word on whether the friend who was with Kavanaugh will be required to testify. I imagine if he lied then he would be subject to perjury penalties.

Well,
I haven’t seen or heard much from him.
And yeah, I think he could help out the situation here. He’s a calm conservative voice to the swish GOPe.

Jeff Flake: If Kavanaugh Accuser Fails To Show Up, I'll Support Move To Push Nomination Forward

"However, Flake said Tuesday that if Ford fails to appear at the hearing scheduled for Monday, he would support his party's push to move forward on a vote on Kavanaugh."

Flake tells Jim Acosta if Ford does not appear "I think we'll have to move to the markup,"

Let’s see. Vote for Republicans or Democrats, when both parties and our nation are owned by feminists and other unhealthy weirdos. Choices, choices...

Uhhhh no vote! Maybe our President should start talking about starting a new party. What shall we call the new party?

Sounds like, to me, more and more of the movie Team America where Hans Blix keeps telling Kim Jong Il he will write a very angry letter letting him know his last angry letter was serious.

Grassely is a pussy.

One more day? Am I watching the play Annie?...”Tomorrow, tomorrow, I might testify tomorrow”....

I even saw limp dick Hannity, Trumps poodle, saying one more day.

Come on Trump. Play hardball with these idiots. I thought he wasn’t a politician. Talk of midterms? Really?

This crap is becoming a total farce.

Maybe after the November red wave, we will see a massive cleaning out of the DC cesspool.

You knew that was wishful thinking when you said it.

There's only one real way out of this mess, and we all know what it is.

That is definitely true, and I am exceptionally frustrated with this crap.

I detest these damned bastards. All of them.

Okay, he's giving her one more day to consider, after saying she had to give him her final answer by 10 tonight.

That's two (or is it three) Obama red lines he's let her cross.

Seriously, Grassley can not bend over backwards any further for this nutcase, or he'll snap his spine.

I can’t stand those America hating socialist Democratic party, and I’m sick to death of the feckless republicans-—where to turn?

Same place the Founding Generation turned. To themselves and their God.

We really are on our own.
