    There is something sinister about these Republicans who use suspense to dangle the hope of decency prevailing over barbarism. This “will-I-won’t-I” thing is fine for The Bachelor. It isn’t OK when we’re talking about whether or not people will have healthcare or basic safety.

        The whole damn government is being run for ratings. Stay tuned … to find out if your voting rights/healthcare/basic dignity have been taken away.

        This is so true. No one should need people to beg and bare their souls so they can maybe, just maybe find it in themselves to sometimes spare people, the environment, wildlife, anything, from the worst. It’s sadistic.

        Give the masses reality TV for politics as well. They've been groomed to want it.

        I have given up trying to figure out who is the most despicable and morally corrupt in the GOP. It seems like an amoral sociopath contest between Kavanaugh, Trump, Graham, Hatch, Grassley, McConnell, Erickson... Pick your favorite gaslighter from the GOP...

        Oddly, we aren't talking about either of those things. We are talking about a SCOTUS nomination. SCOTUS isn't in charge of your basic safety and as far as I know there are no serious cases in the judicial pipeline challenging the ACA so can we dial down the drama a bit?

        Yes, I’m sick of it. Morning Joe started the day saying they didn’t know how Flake would vote. I switched to podcasts.

        One look at future political aspirations tells you all you need to know. They pretend they are being non partisan. It’s all an act from @JeffFlake & @SenatorCollins

        Our political process is now reality television with the old white men as the contestants before they flame out and die. They are all liars, hucksters, charlatans, and whores for the ratings of the ravenous republican base.

        I so agree, Anand! Collins may think she is demonstrating *careful consideration* of FBI findings, but she has surely decided how she will vote. Why this grandstanding?

        It is cruel. But Collins hasn’t one indicated that she would oppose. Manchin was the only senator I remember who came in support of al franken. So that’s that.
