Graham was visibly angry, and rightly so. He is right.

Palmer Report? Is that the far lefts version of InfoWars? InfoWars is garbage but at least the website is put together well. This looks like something uploaded from a Windows 95 computer. At least they are trying to look like fake news. That is honest.

You would be too if Putin's Russia likely had dirt on you and you were an American Congressman.

Yes, I think Darth Vader is an apt description here.

So, doing the math, from the 51 senators, even if we lose 2 (Murkowski and Flake), that's 49. Add back Manchin, and that's 50. Done.
It may just be wishful thinking on my part, but I think all 51 Republicans will vote yes. Plus whatever Democrats do.

That's why they didn't show the therapist's notes. Would have highlighted how wrong Ford's memory was.

Well, Murkowski, Flake, Manchin, and Collins had a closed door meeting. Surprisingly, the only one of the 4 whose political future probably hinges on a yes vote is the Democrat Manchin. Maybe Manchin was getting confirmation on the other three voting no so that he could publicly come out as a yes.

After Kavanaugh’s Stand, Republicans Abandon Him at Their Peril
Let’s first begin with obvious points, points I’ve made time and time again. Emotion isn’t evidence. But emotion has power. When you combine emotion with evidence, there is greater power still.
