Now what will McConnell do?!?!?

Oh shit...never a good situation. The ball is in his court. The fake prez still has to OK an investigation and he hates the FBI (this is what CNN is reporting).

But alas, RWer shithole licker that guy who will take Rosenstein's place will probably get the investigation (1 week).

Lifetime of pain and suffering, 1 fucking week of investigations, maybe.

What Flake promises is to vote if the investigation is re-opened specifically to investigate what Dr Ford has claimed.

McConnell really has no choice.

Democracy in action!

This is one of those historical moments people will remember for decades.
