Actually my PVR will remember to do that for me. I was thinking how TV technology has changed since the first season of SNL - if I recall my remote control was bigger then a PC key booed and it had a cable on it that had to hook up to big convert box. TV have come a long way too. Cheers and happy weekend!

Does the FBI fold its tent and go back to its cage/kennel and the trumpicans can take a victory lap and tell how hard they tried? Seriously folks? After we see what happens we'll know if this was just a planned dog&pony show to placate those who WANT THE TRUTH. Won't we? Yep we will.

Will he be so cavalier and contemptuous and condescending and crazy to try that? UNDER OATH? He isn't that smart though he thinks he is.

Why didn't they? Well one can assume they fear what is still buried and yet to be uncovered. "We'll see what happens". Let's wait and not anticipate an exigency that may never be realized or materialize. Shall we?
We know he is biased by his writings on the subject years ago. Put him in the catbird seat and that gives super don all he needs to skate. How perfecter could it be than that?

So for an ENTIRE YEAR the seat was left vacant IN DEFIANCE of the Constitutional right of the president to fill the vacancy. But Graham doesn't seem to think that was a bad thing to do at all at all at all. However he did think having the FBI investigate the allegations again Kav and delay the vote by one week is reprehensible and an evil scheme by Dems to steal the seat. Graham has sincerely and seriously LOST IT! Yesterday he was pit bull YELLING in the Senate with accusations that would curl yer hair and now? What a swell guy!. He doesn't have the decency to be embarrassed by his over-the-top performance nor did he apologize for his outrageous rant. As I said irony we live with daily. Also lies and deceit and screaming and yelling and attacking and pounding and shouting. How fun! :( less

Lots of testosterone floating around and it was indeed a spectacle than which there has never been any noner or whichier anywhere assuredly. It occurred during a so-called hearing in front of Senators. It was THEATER OF THE ABSURD. It was not dignified (Dr. Ford was very dignified) nor decent nor in keeping with the seriousness of the situation. It was a bunch of boys standing in a circle watching a fight yelling "fight fight fight fight fight". Grade school schoolyard "boys will be boys" bullsh ** went on the entire time. Lindsay Graham went out of his way to embarrass himself and the very next day smiled ever so sweetly and said "someone has to explain this to trump and I guess it will be me" or words to that effect. The "this" to which he referred was having the FBI investigate the allegations. He turned so docile. The super don capitulated. They are a bunch of geesy gooses. They certainly aren't me... less

The #METOO movement gets stronger every day. More and more WOMEN are stepping up and getting into politics. Men used to rule the world. We're gonna take turns, right? Fair is fair, correct? Women might take over and see if they can do a better job. What could it hurt?

Several pinned Jeff Flake in an elevator and demanded he look at them and listen to them. They are tired of being pushed aside, set aside, ignored. Watch out. Once the tide turns y'all better learn how to swim or get out of the way. Jeff Flake didn't like being confronted like that. Who does? But he did the right thing. He didn't run away from it like all the other chickenny spineless white males have done in D.C.. Once upon a time in another land maybe that was how all men reacted. Listened and learned and cared enough to do the right thing. Maybe. less
He say he cried like a baby. I doubt super don was suitably impressed when Kav broke down and cried and cried and cried and cried. Not an image of strength.

I love to read but need to feel it's worth my while as I get so little reading time... I also like listening to books and have very fond memories of when my kids were little and I'd listen to books while doing housework and chores.. But these days again with so little time I find I sit down to listen and fall asleep.. I miss large chunks of the story as I am often multi tasking.. so I think it has to be something I don't have to pay too much attention to... less

Pleasing or displeasing folks?
Did he work his way through college and pay for it himself? Did he win scholarships? Did his parents foot the bill? He seems to come from a life of privilege. His attitude reeks of it.

Was she focusing on the July 1 entry about the party at Timmies and Skis (bruskis..beers) and the names of a few there, 3 of which were already disclosed by Dr. Ford? Might that be when Dr. Ford was attacked by Kav? Why was the female questioner pulled otherwise?
