I remember that sniveling little twerp on the Cable shows during the Lewinski-Paula Jones time frame.

He’d get on and start crying and I mean literally crying about the world coming to an end if the H.O.R. voted out articles of Impeachment against Rapist Bill.

> LOL. Their strategy doesn’t even qualify as 2-D chess

Um no. It's a brilliant tactic meant to agitate the leftists into doing "whatever is necessary" to stop the appointment.

If anything, this might indicate it's a good time to check your emergency supplies...

I have a hunch McCain is deteriorating fast.

I have a hunch a morphine drip has entered his mind.

What does the Kavanaugh hearing have to do with Michael Cohen? It is clear that Schmucky Schumer is hoping beyond hope that Trump is somehow impeached due to something connected with the Michael Cohen hubbub and therefore would not be eligible to push Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. That’s somewhat akin to Schmucky pedaling a bicycle furiously with his spindly legs and hoping he can attain enough thrust to make it to the moon: a pretty darn long shot. Crawl back into your hole, Schmucky; you are a disgrace to humankind.

Donald Trump did NOTHING illegal! The so called experts flooding the media including Fox reporters are totally ignorant of the law. I don’t care that some have legal degrees, they are downright stupid in their interpretation of the written law! Their lead monkey says something and all the rest ape him straight down the line. Cohen’s lawyer should be charged with misleading his client. OBVIOUSLY, he is in the pocket of the left!

Cohen was coerced into pleading guilty to a non-crime.
.......................................................
Absolutely correct. His lawyer, now asking for a go fund me of a half million for Cohen’s legal expenses, should be charged with selling out to the prosecution and not advising Cohen correctly on the LAW!

Trump did NOTHING wrong according to the law. This is all on the kindergarten level and no adult should buy the garbage being shoveled by Meuller and Co.

Exactly...Schumer has used everything he can possibly come up with to delay the hearings until after the confirmation of Kavanaugh in hopes of getting control of at least the House, then try to impeach even if the Senate won’t vote guilty.

The pompous a$$ should crawl back under his rock.

“The established Republicans and Democrats ought to do this Republic a great favor and take their ill-gotten gains and fade into the sunset.”

We, The People, need to take up The Constitution, and MAKE them do it, by whatever means may become necessary.

But I know Upchuck has his own reasons for the delay, namely, to see how the mid terms pan out.

I disavow any knowledge of this :)

"It's a game changer. It should be. ... In my view, the Senate Judiciary Committee should immediately pause the consideration of the Kavanaugh nomination," Schumer said from the Senate floor.

Which other Presidential duties should be "paused"? No, you need to impeach and remove him or sit back down, Mr. Minority leader.

The hearing should go on as planned. Enough of the Democratic baloney.

Well, ole Orin Hatch says, "We gotta see how all this plays out."

So, don't expect the republican party as a whole to come to the aide of Trump. Expect the leadership to suggest Trump not campaign for republican candidates, claiming that Cohen's statements look bad for 'The Donald'.... and.... and they should hold hearings on possible Trump criminality before the midterms.

Today the sun came up in the east and threatens to set in the west, so according to Chuck Schumer, the Kavanaugh hearings must be postponed. That’s the logic is the lying, ethicless Schumer.

Here’s a Hatch statement on CNN a little over an hour ago, doesn’t sound to dire.

“”Well I’m not very happy about it,” admitted Sen. Orrin Hatch, the Utah Republican and Trump supporter who is retiring next year. But in a jawdropping spin, Hatch said the President shouldn’t be blamed for the actions of his staff.

“Naturally it makes you very concerned, but the President should not be held responsible for the actions of the people he’s trusted,” Hatch said, ignoring the fact that Cohen alleged Trump directed him to orchestrate the illegal payments.””
