Come to think of it, I'd probably pay to see that.

And Grassley very loudly stated (paraphrase) "there was 45 days from the time Ford wrote the letter until it became public and no one asked for an investigation!"

He was pissed and his voice was rising.

Even when DiFei thought to welcome Dr. Blasey Ford after Chuck didn't.

Maybe Grassley forgot to use his Gold Bond Powder today and his shorts are riding up.

which are now only held in friendly confines - and his temper is getting shorter and shorter.
Couple years ago he dropped the mike and walked out.

I used to ask questions, but I am intimidated anymore.
I asked him about holding up Garland once and got one of those voice elevated responses laden with lies.

nothing. It is a shame that he responded to your ? re. Garland w/ emotional overtones, and not a fact laced series of responses. Drama queen (Grassley).

Take care, rurallib!, and don't let them intimidate you! These people are simply thugs and bullies who would like nothing else better to do other than attacking innocents and the like simply because they didn't like the questions being asked, good solid questions too.

he's got to deal w/ the likes of Grassley, and all of the other scumbags around Grassley. And it's funny, they both represent states that border each other (Iowa and Illinois).

Every other human emotion is gone in him. He is simply an angry shell of a human being.

They know their legacy of privilege is dying out, and they can't stand the change in control.
