Republicans should show a little compassion

Towards a … woman? Not in this lifetime, DiFi.

“Dr. Ford is receiving death threats. She’s had her identity stolen and her email account hacked.”

And that’s just the response from Mitch McConnell so far!

Republicans have to show how manly they are by pushing around a woman.
They,like Trump, are not men but slimy little cowards .
If you back a coward you are a coward.

Said Barbara Speicher Grassley:

“Can you imagine what a joy it is to be married to Chuck? Every single goddamn thing he has to niggle and correct me. If I say let’s do something on Thursday, he says Wednesday instead. He’s such a controlling psychopath, its driven me to a life of writing confessional books about my personal relationship with God.”

[Note: That last part is true: on the website for Loving My Lord Through Poetry it says: “Barbara Speicher enjoys writing personal accounts about God in her life, in addition to penning scriptural reflections in poetry and song.”]

While we’re on the subject, it would be nice if somebody would point out that the GOP looking for a female outside attorney to question the witness because there are no GOP women senators on the committee is really twisted.

If Senate leadership doesn’t want women on committees, this is what they’re going to have a problem with – everyone on earth knowing that the sitting members of the committee can’t do their job.

If the problem is not enough GOP women in the Senate, well, that’s just another problem they have to address.

Having someone from outside the Senate sit on a committee to question an important witness because you’ve determined it’s impossible for the people on the committee to do the job should make Grassley and McConnell laughingstocks everywhere.

The problem is the GOP is Evil Incarnate and must be Destroyed.

Feinstein is shoving it right up the GOP ass, and Pelosi is polling higher than Trump, but let’s get rid of these two old broads. We need more youthful Dems, like Bernie!

Thank you for the well-crafted snark! These two old broads are sometimes the ones that save the day, and we need them to help show the newer folks how to do it right.

If this occurs, then I think that Dr. Ford should begin each answer with a variation of “I think it’s unfortunate that the male Republican Senators had to hire a woman to ask questions for them, and I think it’s unfortunate that you took the job. I had enough courage to come here and face them, you’d think they’d have the courage to face me. But to answer your question…”

Feinstein is right. She asks for Thurs, and Repubs give her the shiv for absolutely no reason other than to inconvenience, or not give in to any requests of the alleged victim.

Garland Lives! (beyond 293 days), so there is no rush for a SCOTUS nominee.

I’m hopeful that she never responds to the questioner, and instead looks straight at those deplorable pieces of shit in suits with R’s in front of their names and responds to them!

Well, this story has been updated on many other sites. Grassley now says that if Dr. Ford doesn’t reply by 10 pm tonight that she will appear on Wednesday, they’re going to vote on Kavanaugh on Monday. Will the GOP really do that? I don’t know. I suspect they know that for every day they delay, more dirt might come out on Kavanaugh - but I’d be surprised if they were sure they had the votes.

If it comes to this it is really important that Professor Blasey points this out during the hearing. It’s disgraceful and cowardly.
