No kidding. It's like watching a great TV series and thinking that the next season can't possibly be as good as the last one. And then it is.

Looking forward to at least six more seasons.

My apologies for calling you a "limp dick".
You came through in the end.
Thank you, sir!


Does one dose of Viagra make one not a "limp dick" forever?

Pecker still stalled the whole thing for a week. My guess is he'll still be floppy dick Flake long after this.


Agreed, not happy about him stalling the vote.
But the delay did help mitigate the accusations and he voted for Kavanaugh in the end.
It's a great day!!!

I may be in the minority here, but IMO, the week delay was a blessing in disguise. We got to dig a little deeper into the Feinstein train, including Monica McLean. And the protesters, the left showing their true colors, the extra week basically gave the Democrats more rope to hang themselves.

Ladies and gentlemen, I marvel at all that Pres. Trump has accomplished in LESS THAN 2 YEARS!!! America is truly a better Country, and Trump has 6 more years to go. I am really getting used to this winning thing!!

I don't think you are in the minority at all. I agree completely and it seems most others came to this same conclusion after seeing how things unfolded.

If you had told me before all this started that Cocaine Mitch and Lindsay Grahamnesty were going to lead the charge I wouldn't have believed you. Kudos to them for standing tall!

Not to mention Susan Collins slamming the door in the god awful dems' faces with that great speech on the floor.

Trump has really brought together all corners of the Republican party by showing them that fighting the commies head on is the only way to win.

The delay and the FBI report is what Collins needed to push her over the top. Same goes for Flake.

Kudos to Sen. Grassley. He didn’t have a strong hand, with a slim majority, undercut by waffling RINOs. But he played his cards well, with a couple of nice finesses: The nonaggressive, but effective questioning of Ford. Acceding to the Dem’s demand of a further FBI review, which he knew would help advance Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
