1. Srsly?

This is Democracy?

This is leadership?

This is nothing but old white fuckers with shit for brains

[blogslut]

2. Hold strong, Dr. Ford.

She's doing this well.

[ProudLib72]

3. So many trolls! Does he pay them all?

They must be making serious bank off this.

4. "....or we to u"

[Anon-C]

28. STOP!

[LakeSuperiorView]

5. Good God, we have gone from "Four score and seven years ago" to "if u changed ur mind."

Twitter is the worst form of communication I have ever seen. No wonder Twitler is so fond of it - it fits his illiterate mind.

40. Watch or re-watch the movie Idiocracy. It's where we are headed.

[musicblind]

6. Then give her the extra day.

It's not like she's asking for the moon here.

Honestly, they could give her a full month and still push the confirmation through in the lame duck session.

The only reason they are doing this is because people like Grassley and McConnell hate women.

[tblue37]

42. They fear that with extra time the other shoe(s) will drop. nt

7. Russians

Working overtime on twitter tonight!

[EffieBlack]

8. You're a U.S. Senator and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, dammit!

Stop acting like a 13-year-old trying to ask a girl to the dance via Twitter. You look ridiculous.

[sheshe2]

32. His wording is creepy.

He makes my skin itch and feel the need for a shower using a Brillo pad.

[brer cat]

36. we to u.

The fdng fthrs are rolling in their graves.

[LibDemAlways]

45. It ought to be beneath the dignity of any government official to

use Twitter as an official means of communication. I cringe when I see journalists reporting on the latet Tweet from the orange idiot. And Grassley's pathetic abbreviations are laughable. It all cheapens the discourse. Whatever happened to the decorum of official press releases from the offices of the President and members of Congress? Bread and circuses.

9. Is he still alive?

Damn, these republican bastards seem to live forever.

11. Flake and possibly Collins? They want the process to play itself out.

Grassley overstepped and was forced to walk it back.

[bluestarone]

25. that's what i'm thinking

Along with Murkowski?

12. Did Chuckles overplay his hand?

[Scurrilous]

13. He must be a Prince fan.

15. He's out of his mind tonight.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. Just tonight??

[MelissaB]

22. LOL! No, not just tonight.

What was I thinking?

[Rhiannon12866]

24. ...

[Glimmer of Hope]

17. Is this for reals?

[Rhiannon12866]

23. It sure looks like it's really him - unless he's been hacked, that is

But I'm guessing it's really him posting these, he seems to have Trump's grasp of Twitter...

[regnaD kciN]

29. "I can hear the cuckoo singing in the cuckooberry tree..."

Got into the bourbon a bit early tonight, Chuckles?

[Rhiannon12866]

31. I'm also guessing it's way, way past his bedtime...

[Garrett78]

19. Lying SOB. She made it clear long ago that she wants to testify and he knows it.

The timing and terms is what's been up for debate; not Dr. Ford's (death threat-defying) willingness to testify.

Fuck you, Grassley and every other Republican.

[dalton99a]

20. Such chivalry and magnanimity

from a moral midget

[eleny]

21. Being grateful for his granting a one day extension makes me feel demeaned

Twisting in the wind waiting for that old prune to throw Dr. Ford crumbs like this makes me angry. Time to go read a book. This has been an awfully wrenching day. My heart cries for Dr. Ford.

[MelissaB]

26. Yep, it has been a loong day.

Hang in there, eleny.

[eleny]

27. Thx!

Nite! To be continued tomorrow, for sure.

34. Their barely veiled contempt of her is so ingrained them they don't even see it.

[Jarqui]

30. The Grassley would be greener on 60 Minutes

Bet 60 minutes would love to hear from her witnesses too.

and maybe the Montgomery, MD county police :

I'd tell these GOP Senator a-holes to take a hike and watch how a real investigation is done.

If there is no statute of limitations on the criminal charge, I suspect there would be no statute of limitations on a corresponding lawsuit. Her lawyers might look into that before all the dust settles because of the damages to her and her family's lives.

If she does all of that, Grassley might finally clue in that his candidate is going to be tarnished and messed up for a couple of years.

[BigmanPigman]

35. I hope she files charges.

I want them to investigate the male, drunk friend that was in the room as well.

[Leghorn21]

33. In March of '17, Grassley begged Red Don to call him - something's deeply off with this guy:

U.S. senator resorts to Twitter to try to get Trump’s attention

Josh Katzowitz—Mar 20, 2017 at 4:33AM | Last updated Mar 20, 2017 at 4:57AM

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) isn’t afraid to use Twitter to try to get President Donald Trump’s attention. Indeed, he may have no other choice

Last month, he issued a number of tweets meant for “Whoever monitors twitter at WH for President Trump,” asking for accountability and transparency from the administration, and on Sunday, he addressed the @POTUS Twitter account and asked for help with immigration issues.

Maybe he just a bit more than he needs to
- but he ain’t right, for sure

37. What a pathetic suck up to the Orange reprobate

I can just picture him in his office with staffers discussing this drivel. My bet he got a young "female" staffer to peck this out on a Windows 10 PC. If his millennial IT person is female be sure at some point in the process he called her "honey".

They are far apart in their negotiations.

44. Ford asked for another day to decide. Probably she needed to process her meeting with the FBI

She was meeting with FBI agents about the death threats her family has received at 8:00 PM Eastern time while she was being told she had decide if she would agree to the Republican terms by 10:00 PM. No way could she weigh all the consequences of her decision without at least a night to sleep on it after meeting with the FBI and some time to talk with family, friends, and trusted advisors. She is rightfully concerned over her safety and was not going to decide before meeting with the FBI last night.
