The fear coursing through the GOP right now is both very palpable and highly pleasurable…

Oops, this may be the blow back from the staffer’s tweet which said Kavanaugh’s appointment was in the bag.

I haven’t seen this many waffles since that “All You Can Eat” special at IHOP.

This is going to leave Susan Collins very, very confused as to what steadfast position to now take for the next 60 minutes or so…

OT, but I can’t believe TPM hasn’t posted this yet…

And he’s going to get Mexico to pay for this one, too…

I was all ways taught not to make fun of the handicap.

… they were fuzzy on what that hard cutoff is.

If they had imposed a “hard cutoff” on Kavanaugh 36 years ago, they wouldn’t be in this mess now.

I’ve heard of the Waffle House before, but not the Waffle Senate.

Do I understand this correctly? Instead of a 10 AM (EDT) deadline — whiich is 7 AM (PDT) – the “flexibility” MIGHT be extended to 5 PM (EDT)? I guess the GOP really caved here. Fail!

Keep punching, we have them on the ropes. Dr. Ford is a very, very brave woman. Imagine what kind of hell she must be going through right now. Good on her and her legal team for continuing to fight.

Is giving a deadline and a take-it-or-leave-it offer to an assault victim going public with her story for the first time after keeping it bottled up for 35 years really such a good strategy? This seems incredibly callous and mean in addition to being idiotic.

If Blasey Ford goes before the Senate on Monday I would imagine her testimony would be raw, emotional, and incredibly powerful. Contrast that with Mark Judge not even bothering to show up. It won’t be pretty for the GOP.

I was in Marietta, Georgia once and they had all these Waffle Houses. Apparently are a big thing with the Dixiecrat GOP base.

You should check out The Waffle House Rule regarding disaster recovery. Very interesting.

I’m liberal and I like Waffle House. It’s a decent and cheap breakfast place.

Well, ok…I got nothing against decent and cheap breakfast places that allow liberal customers.

I would hold a press conference and call the GOP Cocksuckers on the committee a group of old men who are so hellbent on President Trump packing the Supreme Court so he won’t have to obey any subpeona from Robert Mueller that they refuse to investigate a case of attempted rape against a nominee.

Then I’d appear in front of the committee just long enough to say roughly the same thing in an opening statement TO THEIR FACES, then walk out, hopefully with all of the Democrats on the panel.
