Ms Bartiromo does not look very confident in Mr Graham!
Is anyone?
Its a big club and we aint in it. The Supreme Court is no different than congress. ACB was groomed in the swamp. The federalist society is party of the uniparty. Gatekeeper organization. Mitch and Lindsey are the gatekeepers of the swamp. They decide who gets in the club. I mean court. These phony confirmation battles are kabuki theatre. Gorsuch kavanaug and ACB are swamp. Wall Street and military. None of them give a damn about us. I heard kavanaug and Chrissy Ford’s dads had a big laugh and handshake after the beer loving frat boy was confirmed. Time to get red pilled folks. The whole damn system is corrupt. This is just like professional wrestling. Baby faces and heels working angles. Its all a work.we are the marks.
He is on his way out and his seat will go to a Dem.
I’m no fan of Lindsay, but he’s not going anywhere. SC turnout for Trump will be off the charts on November 3rd, and the overwhelming majority of those Trump supporters will vote straight “R” down the ticket. Not because they love republican’s, but because the alternative is simply unthinkable.
I PRAY YOU ARE RIGHT, we must not lose any REPUBLICANS now and we must vote in as many more as possible! For now we must save our country! VOTE ONLY REPUBLICAN!
Agree. Miss Lindsey’s not my choice, but if it’s him or the power-for-power’s-sake Leftists, I’m with Lindsey!
A little worried about this confirmation timeline. No margin for error. There’s cases needing to be heard very soon with serious election ramifications. Give the shenanigans one day. One. Then vote to confirm. Done.
Miss Lindsey is doing a great job at the moment of impersonating a conservative – he will shine in the hearings this week and lock in the SC vote.
His time will come, later, in PDJT’s second term. Perhaps by then he will voluntarily step down.
Too close to election and I don’t trust him
Sure he will
If Lindsay wasn’t in a tough re-election campaign, I would say that ACB would not be confirmed before the election. Ditto Mitch McConnell.
Expect a lot of manufactured drama to get them both (and Collins) over the finish line in their tight races. Script is already written. Mitch is the director. Casting is assigned. Enjoy the show.
I fully agree with you. If Mitch and Lindsey would be having their election in 2 years’ time, this would not be happening before Nov 3. This is only to help THEM, not Trump.
I disagree–Mitch wants the Supreme Court. It’s HIS legacy, in the eyes of many.
Mitch could care less about his legacy as much as he wants to be in the senate, preferably in the easy chair role of “loyal” opposition. The need for solid support from the courts is the insurance policy for Mitch and the puppet masters to help keep the Marxist Democrats in line. The GOPe resorted successfully to the courts a few times during the early Obama years over issues they actually cared about. Both Mitch and puppet masters know not to trust the Marxists nor overlook they often have no qualms over casualties to themselves.
Bingo. Mitch doesn’t give a shat about legacy. He doesn’t give a crap about abortion gun control or school prayer. Republicans need legal abortion for their mistresses and hookers they get pregnant. Alot of politicians have young blonde “nieces” working as interns. Abortion cleans up those messy situations. Plus dems love population control. Mitch’s donor class wants Wall Street and pro military judges on the court. The federalist society screens them, Trump nominates them, and Mitch pushes them over the finish line. The votes are all counted before hand. Its a big show and raises lots of money for both wings of the uniparty.
Perhaps you misunderstand my point: Mitch gives a damn about the judges appt. during his power reign. He sees himself as the guy who “got it done” and in reality, he is the guy. The appointment is the POTUS’ but the shepherding through all the obstacles is MM’s domain.
Indeed, though, truth be told, Mitch is the prime Senatorial obstacle to MAGA.
PLEASE REMEMBER…..!
Mitch McConnell is moving judges through WHO CAN BE COMPROMISED BY THE DEEP STATE!!!!!!
The selected judges can be leveraged. Never trust the Heritage Society or any other so called conservative advisory groups. They are as pure as The Presidential Debate commission, for God’s sake!
^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^
BINGO! BULLSEYE!
Everyone should MEMORIZE what WSB just wrote here..
I believe this is why some PT-appointed judges have ruled against the executive branch cases in the last two weeks.
Yup.
WSB??
?
Thank you for this very important reminder.
These are Mitchs nominees.
I’m from the Commonwealth, I think Mitch’s preferred legacy is to continue doubling his net worth every 3–5 years.
That and NO recess appointments.?
Ain’t over ’til it’s over. Republicans famous for wasting time. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? Let’s just drag this out and then find out something happened in the mean time and you know what? Well, sorry, we just couldn’t get it done. Let me you tell a truth. If Shumer was Senate leader RGB’s replacement would have been seated in time to begin the new Court year, 1 Oct. Effing Republicans are just that, pho-k ups. McConnell looks like a turtle and moves like one, too.
I know Trump needs a republican majority in the Senate, but at the same time, I despise Ms Graham as much as I despised Johnny McStain
I for one will be supporting LIndsay Graham as he works to get ACB confirmed to the supreme court and then wins his senate battle for re-election. I understand he is no saint but which of us is? He is all and all a warrior for freedom and supports Pres. Trump on nearly every issue. I have donated money for his re-election and I will be praying for him big time this week.
Give the guy a break -he is human and doing the best he can for us all. Saint no… but let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.
I agree, we’ve got to hold our nose and vote for Lindsey. We sent him some money. If he gets ACB approved then he will win re-election. We need to get rid of him in the primary and he’s had no competition. I’m in SC-01 and want to rid ourselves of phony Joe Cunningham, I hope we do, but uncertain at this point!
Hold our nose and keep our powder dry. Awful lot of defeatist comments these past couple days here. There are two sides here and the other side is not pulling up and we must not either. I’ve likely been to more rodeos than most here at CTH. There is no alternative than full bore ahead and win every seat possible up and down the tickets, regardless of personalities. Let our POTUS sort put the weak links later. He is no one’s fool IMO. Chin up treepers.
In light of the fact that she was confirmed as a federal judge in 2017, are hearings even necessary? Why not just vote instead of subjecting her to the vile abuse of the left?
Did repubs learn nothing from the Kavanaugh disaster and how they tormented him and his family?
Excellent questions.
I think her hearings and the asses the Dems are probably going to make of themselves attacking a woman who IS a white suburban mother with stellar academic achievements and legal scholarship will HELP re-elect POTUS.
Pennsylvania women, take a look at her: she’s what you want for your daughters, great role model, and for your sons, great partner for your sons, not their adversaries and attackers.
We need the hearings to show people how despicable Kamala Harris is.
If dropping out of the primaries before a single vote was cast didn’t show us how abhorrent she is, surely her despicableness was on full display just a few nights ago at the VP debate.
Harris wants to interview ACB remotely. Too much of a coward to face her in person. She shouldn’t be given the opportunity.
Best comment so far!
As if Kamala’s “joke” on the Ellen Show about killing Trump and Pence wasn’t enough
These people are bonkers, dangerous inciters of hate and violence
Shouldn’t be anyplace close to positions of power. Not even dogcatcher. Dogs deserve better
including the very snarky Martha McCallum of Fox News in her interview of then-Judge and Mrs. Kavanaugh –
that was the turning point for us (my mother and I) on Martha McCallum just as the August 6, 2015 Republican Presidential Candidate debate was the end of Megyn Kelly in our household
Yes, I remember that ‘interview’ which was more an interrogation of some presumed guilty than a ‘fair and balanced’ interview.
Among other accomplishments, President Trump has been very successful in tearing off the masks of these pompous jerks.
**some s/b ‘someone’ presumed guilty…
No, hearings are not necessary. And Mitch could take a floor vote right off the mark.
Remember, there are no Republicans or Democrats…just UniParty desperate to keep their crimes and blackmail silent! Keeping their power.
Yup. Well said, WSB.
Apparently Schumer said that Dems won’t provide a quorum in the judiciary committee. Libs seem to think that some GOP senators will have to stay “quarantined” an won’t be able to vote. Pshaw.
Fine then just call the vote and skip all the rest! No Constitutional requirement that the Senate Judiciary Committee provide a quorum and a vote first!
What are they going to do with Harris: allow her to try to tear ACB apart or soften her questioning in hopes white suburban women won’t be reminded of the bitch that Harris is.
Great article on https://www.bizpacreview.com that’s a frightening tell abt Commie Harris and the Marxist platform that has hijacked the undemocratic party. I don’t think voters r aware of what this conniving, unpresidential puppet will do to our Republic if elected. Her Marxist platform = green new deal total attack on capitalism, income redistribution, open borders, defunding police, removing 1st and 2nd Amendments, identity politics, and equality of income. She is further left than 97% of the dems in the US Senate and will rule as a dictator via executive decrees. Wake up America!!!
Democrat platform is the same platform as the United
Nations…
Well now, there have been a few times in the past few months since COVID reared it’s ugly head that the Senate Judiciary Committee did not have a quorum to hold a hearing. The latest was October 1st, when Lindsey announced that there were not enough Republicans’ present to form a quorum, so he just had a ‘chat fest’ with mostly Democrat members.
Funny thing was that a few times during the “chat” he agreed with and granted Dem. committee members request to “enter into the record” some article or statement they wanted entered officially. If it is not an official committee meeting, how do you officialy enter something for the record?
Anywho, this “quorum question” will be a bone of contention to start off ACB’s hearing.
Other than that, I picked up from Lindsey’s answer to Maria’s question of schedule that the 1st day will be introduction, member’s 10 minute statements, and ACB’s opening statement. Starting day 2 Committee Members will have 30 minutes each for speechifying, er, questions for the 1st round of questions and 20 minutes each for the 2nd round. Then outside interested parties, both pro and con get to speak and the Committee vote will be 4th day, Thursday.
This time around, I don’t think I will have the time, reason, desire, or patience to watch the full 4 days of speechifying and Kabuki theater.
After The Disgraceful Sham, otherwise known as the Kavanaugh confirmation process, I won’t subject myself to another such travesty. How they dare to refer to one another sa “honorable” is beyond me …
Dims are not needed for a quorum.
Graham is cutting it too close to the election.
He’s trying to make his sorry ass look important.
Screw Schumer.
Cut the hearings short and bring it to the floor.
The Dems are going to squeal and holler regardless.
Yep.
There may be advantage to watching the Dims tear up a mother of seven, and a woman of faith, just to remind R’s, to not vote for snakes.
However, the date is late enough, to allow Lindsay’s fellow corrupt R’s to vote against confirmation, should SD’s Declassification Plan go operational.
Lindsay is allowing corrupt R’s to continue to hold the veto card, or stall until after the election card, should Full Disclosure go operational. The ninth Justice is likely essential to Trump’s election victory, as many Lawfare scenarios have the election, likely not decided favorably for Trump, WITHOUT the ninth Justice.
Putting this Confirmation Show on the national airways, sucking the oxygen away from everything else, including a potential Declassification Op, also promotes the Corrupt R’s, when they need help, because too many Patriots are fed up with them.
That is a very interesting take on things. Makes sense to me.
Another good reason to delay the declassification plan.
Graham Cracker is full of hot air and he cowardly didn’t answer the question on issuing a subpoena to force the lying traitor McCabe to testify to the committee he pretends to run.
My eyes saw RED!!!!!
WHY DID MARIA LET GRAHAM GET AWAY WITH NOT DEMANDING A SUBPOENA AFTER MCCABE REFUSED TO A VOLUNTARY TESTIMONY???!!!!
I was so upset with her. She let his motor ass kick in!
Lots of missed opportunities with Maria today.
Looks like she was under orders from Fox’s Uniparty/Deep State management.
Like the way she defended the garbage of CW during her chat with PDJT. It’s really pathetic,,,,all of them. Garbage.
Indeed!
WSB??
All of the fox talking heads paychecks come from the same source.
Graham Cracker is full of hot air and he cowardly didn’t answer the question on issuing a subpoena to force the lying traitor McCabe to testify to the committee he pretends to run.
The eunuchs are whining that if the democrats get control, they’ll destroy the country.
If they’re so concerned then how about growing a pair and stop playing nice with those totalitarian wannabes.
Some of us have been asking ourselves the same question for decades and that is why we are not Republicans but independent thinkers.
Hey Lindsay, it was not big news that HRC started this whole sham, maybe to political hacks like you but not to us in the real world. And he evaded the question of whether or not he is going to subpoena McCabe, news flash, he isn’t.
A comment on “packing the court”. This is the most obscure political term I’ve ever heard! Everyone from Trump to Pence to Cruz to Graham, Carlson to Dobbs to Levin, use it without explaining what it is, and why it is so damaging to Americans. Unsurprisingly, the left is repurposing it to mean whatever works for them: GOP filling the open SCOTUS position, the 300 filled judgeships, the lack of diversity judges, etc. Our side needs to play a lot smarter, especially if we continue to point to Biden’s refusal to answer about “packing the court”.
So, “Flimsy Graham” responds again!
Thank you “Flimsy” for recounting all we learned this year without your help. You promised hearings, none happened.
You were angry after Justice after the Kavanaugh hearings. Nothing again.
You promised subpoenas, never happened. You only gave invitations.
WTF!
thanks for nothing and good luck winning
Lost me at; “the covid threat is real”
I can’t listen to this man…complete corrupt slime ball who was/is part of the coup…is there some reason there has to be 4 days of hearings for SC…this is totally unnecessary…just approve her….if you do not you will lose.
Exactly
“In July 2016 the Russians revealed a plot by Hillary Clinton to smear Donald Trump, and the CIA briefed Obama on it. He did nothing about it”
We always KNEW this would lead back to the ZERO.
Treason is the charge. Treason and Sedition and LYING.
As to going big, that would be a YUGE mistake and the UNIParty knows it. They will encourage President TRUMP to do it anyway. To HURT HIM and US.
IT IS WRONG! They CANNOT BE TRUSTED with a PENNY, let alone TRILLION$.
McConnell and his little toady Lissy Graham are hapless effete scum. I won’t tolerate any noise about what a wonderful job McConnell has done on the judges. His only “job” was to announce a schedule for hearing and votes. This is not hard work and it’s not rocket science. Any 2nd year legislative aid could have (and probably did) accomplished this. Republicans out-voting Democrats. It’s like voting for Senior Class officers in High School except easier.
Meanwhile, they wait 2 weeks to begin UNNECESSARY “hearings” in anticipation of the requisite one week delay requested by any committee member according to the rule, all with NO DATE set for a final vote in the Full Senate.
This allows the Democrats to speechify and abuse a perfectly decent woman and distract from the fact that the Senate is complicit in the attack on OUR President.
God forgive me, I hate these people.
My wife and I watched Sham on Fox News tonight. It was about the Kavanaugh hearings and the smear attack the dems pulled late minute. A hit job that nearly took out Kavanaugh. It was Lindsey Graham who turned the tide in his rebuke of the dem circus with Harris, Durbin, Booker and others. I appreciate Graham now more than ever. Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed with 50 votes. I hope we take all 3 chambers of government on Nov.3rd.
