That's not going to happen. There is no chance. Daines already said he has immediate arrangements to get back to DC for the vote if needed.

Yep he already said he will leave his daughter's wedding reception if he has to.

[Zealot]

Well he's gonna need to use those arrangements as it stands now, hope he taught his daughter that putting an alleged sexual assaulter and probable alcoholic/definite perjurer on the Supreme Court is more important than her wedding.

Pretty sure she knows if she even cares. I've met a lot of moms and women this week who have told me that they still don't understand why men can't just grope us against our will.

Wot

Obviously said by people who haven't had the experience.
People tend to double down on shit like that. I refuse to believe that they actually believe the shit they are saying right now. They're just worked up into a frenzy that they say the stuff they don't mean. Doesn't stop me from thinking how stupid it is to have that opinion just because you're mad about the other political party.
Exception goes to the old lady who was telling me how back in her day women got all kinds of butt smacks, forced kisses and touching and they were fine with it so wtf is wrong with women today that they think they don't want that anymore.

The old lady isn't wrong that the shit happened. She was just treating me like a weirdo for saying I don't want to be inappropriately touched against my will.

How many layers of irony are you on right now?

its like an irony parfait over here, everybody likes parfaits

Inb4 McCain knocks down the door as soon as "would anyone like to change their vote' is said, and shouts "the senator from Arizona would like to change his vote". He hobbles up to the desk, gives an emphatic thumbs down, and collapses into a pile of green dust and rotting flesh.

Whichever way the vote goes, can we call the outcome boofing?

eg.
I didn't think I was gonna get promoted but I boofed it.
I was up for a promotion at work but I got boofed.

Flake and Collins both released statements saying they are "yes" votes on Kavanaugh. Murkowski is a "No". If Manchin is a "no" as well that is tie isn't it? which means he gets confirmed? Or is my count off?

[Tyche]

If Collins is a yes, Manchin is irrelevent

that is correct. if Collins and Flake are both yes it's over. she's supposed to give her Senate floor speech in 15 minutes and land one way or the other.

Counts off. A strict party line vote would be 51-49. 1 going No would equal tie. 2 going no from Republicans would torpedo it.

So excited to see the women demographics come election day. Do college educated women pull it off? Or are non college educated woman where it's at, electorally?
