Unfortunately, you certainly can’t count on the TV or newspapers as a means to find out what is going on. I had some time available and sort-of got sucked into the drama of this, and FR is still the best way I know, but it takes a lot of reading and your own analysis.
Grassley DID handle the committee. He got the vote out of the committee on schedule, with reset for Princess-Pea and her last-minute Sex charges. BK was recommended to be confirmed by the committee to the full Senate.
He did some very good work to make this happen against absolutely intransigent opposition.
The votes are still NOT there in the Senate, last I have seen, and it is not just Flake. There are other R’s that are more solid No votes than him.
The FBI “investigation” to see if there is any “there” there in Princess-Pea and the others is taking place during time already required to elapse before a full Senate vote.
Trump is using this time to have rallies in states where week Senate Dems exist calling them liars and worse. They’ll have to break with Schumer to have any chance this November.
So, be of good cheer. Stay away from TV. And laugh at the desperate headlines that I think are “woking” a lot of deplorables, out there.
