You purposely went there. Trump underpays his hotel workers in FL and they are illegal immigrants. And Trump, himself, molested many women.

However, I was speaking about men helping women advance in the workplace. I guess you don’t know anything about doing that.

Give up on Hillary. She’s so much smarter than your ilk.

There are actually 33 people who guessed 61 or more in the poll. I find that pretty amazing, BUT.....

Wouldn't it be a hoot if they guessed correctly.

It would be. But if Claire McCaskill actually votes no, 61 is going to be difficult to achieve. Maybe 56-58 seems more reachable at this stage.

So you can't actually dispute what he said. Only that you are mad about it.

Biden: “Senate consideration of a nominee under these circumstances is not fair to the president, to the nominee, or to the Senate itself,” he continued. “Where the nation should be treated to a consideration of constitutional philosophy, all it will get in such circumstances is partisan bickering and political posturing from both parties and from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

I assume you mean "withdrawing" from the nomination process. Sure, it would be "special".

IF the Senate can't vote him out of Committee to go to the Senate Floor - it would indicate that they believe Dr Ford and believe that Judge Kavanaugh is guilty of "sexual assault" > "attempted rape" > "attempted manslaughter/murder". I would expect this ruling from the Leftists, but Judge Kavanaugh can be confirmed with the Republican vote.

In that case - if he is not Voted by the Republicans to advance to the Senate Floor - THEN the Republicans MUST move to bring orders of Impeachment against Judge Kavanaugh to remove him from the Federal Court. They actually have no choice in that.

It's all wrong.
And yet we do it all the time when it comes to Catholic priests molesting little boys.

And when those MEN come forward 40 years later - we applaud their courage; we wipe our tears for innocence lost.

Little different when a women does it, huh?

In another stalling tactic, Ford's lawyer has said she may be willing to testify later next week, if terms can be agreed upon. It's a stalling tactic because they were 18 hours away from having the hearings canceled and the vote scheduled. Now they hope the Senate can be stalled while "terms" are negotiated.
