Seriously, Grassley can not bend over backwards any further for this nutcase, or he'll snap his spine. True.......but it's good optics in flyover country.
I'm seeing discussions online between nonpolitical individuals who are starting to wonder if Ford's story is fake, since she keeps refusing every hand that Grassley extends to her.
I'm hoping the old man is wily like a fox VS going senile. LOL

Grassley KNOWS her story is BS they have done their own investigation he KNOWS she wont show AND if she does theyve got her for lying either way Grassley knows everything is in the bag!! I just HATE that Kavanaugh and his family are being strung along like this!!!
To: Zhang Fei
Its not Grassley. Its the squishes - Flake, Murkowski and Collins. My contempt for those putrid sacks of sh!t is beyond my ability to easily express.
Saying anything more would get my comment deleted by the mods.

I just HATE that Kavanaugh and his family are being strung along like this!!!I do too, but we should be getting used to it, since this is how the corrupt Dem party has worked since before Obama worked his mojo, and made them think they were invincible.
That superiority complex is what's going to take them down, I hope, because they keep making amateurish mistakes that makes it easy to see what their game plan is, even to nonpolitical people.

This is a sad joke.no Grasley is the joke.
To: Trump Girl Kit Cat
He has NOT offered to change the day of the hearing ONLY to give her another day to decide if she will be there on Monday I THINK! You've got it right, but it still irks me that Grassley is being this accommodating to the nutty professor.
Apparently he has to, to squelch any possible objections from Collins, Flake, and Murkowski. He needs at least two of their votes, or Kavanaugh is done.

On a personal level, I understand where they’re coming from. They’re at-will employees subject to abrupt termination at defined intervals who have to walk a tightrope between doing what they want to do and what a majority of hundreds of thousands or even millions of voters want to do. And once they’re voted out, they become essentially panhandlers at the doors of corporate boards. And if they become employees - how do you reconcile yourself to either starting as some nobody middle manager or becoming an ornamental ex-pol like a Picasso on the wall of some corporate building? Elected pols aren’t civil service people - they have to hustle after losing elections.
Having gone through the human dimensions of the job, I’m still very disappointed when these people fail to live up to their promises. But don’t think of them as pols - think of them as car salesmen with quotas - but of voters they have to avoid alienating, while hanging on to yours.

Wait, didnt he already give her until Wednesday to drive from CA to DC, the last time he granted an extension?

Wait, didnt he already give her until Wednesday to drive from CA to DC, the last time he granted an extension? Not to my knowledge.
Grassley has repeatedly extended the deadline for her to agree to appear this coming Monday, but has not changed the drop dead date of the hearing itself.
Per the latest information, the committee will vote as scheduled on Monday.

Nope. He is giving her until Wednesday to testify, not Thursday, as she asked for. She will go first, not Kavanaugh, and will be asked questions by a lawyer. Those are Grassleys stipulations. Now he has extended the deadline for her to respond to Saturday.
To: SpeedyInTexas
Every one of these vacillations and deadline changes cost more Republican votes in November as disgust grows over what has become a joke and the Democrats make a mockery of the Senate and the confirmation process.

Tell that to the four squishy GOPer whose fence-sitting is holding up the process. If Grassley doesnt get their votes, forget about this going forward.

He has no power over flake. Flake is leaving this term.
Ditto for Corker. Until they, along with Murk and Collins are on board, theres no confirmation.

He should have told her commie lawyer “NUTS”
To: SpeedyInTexas
Bastard. I knew he would cave.
I guess the word "Deadline" doesn't mean much. Britt Hume told Tucker Carlson that the GOP Senators were terrified of offending the #MeToo movement.
They sure don't give a damn about offending Judge Kavanaugh, his wife, his daughters, and millions of Conservatives.

He’s giving the democrats enough time to find four skanks and orchestrate a press event with Gloria All-Red.. Expect something Monday or sooner.

I think Ford’s story is a total lie, at least concerning Kavanaugh. That’s why she “can’t remember” anything. If she named names, she’d be exposed by all those named people as a fraud. She has had 36 YEARS to get her story straight, but the clown Grassley still gives her more time.
