Something's going on behind the scenes

[procon]

The staffers, who are usually bored to the point of dozing off, are very active today. People are moving around, whispering back and forth, or even talking loudly enough that the speakers have to comment on the interruptions. Notes are being written and passed around, verbal messages are being rushed in to the room by anxious looking minions. People are darting in front of the camera in a blur of rapid motion.

What might be causing this sudden flurry of activity???

5. MSNBC says "Senate Judiciary vote on Kavanaugh at 1:30"

[avebury]

7. Grassley might be trying to rush the vote because he is afraid

that Flake will bolt to a no vote.

8. Maybe Flake will vote no unless there is an FBI investigation.

Maybe not.

10. Maybe Kavanaugh is running a train in the cloakroom?

[procon]

11. No! Just stop, that's not a topic for misplaced humor, not for sleazy Republicans, and

definitely not for any Democrats.

[GemDigger]

12. For some people humor is the only way to get through this.

[Fozzledick]

13. What humor? That's the line they've already crossed.

It's not a joke, it's the sick reality that they're voting for! Welcome to the new "normal".
