   It was a sick joke (I apologize) @Sanguie, It was/is considered a date rape drug.

Eric Ericson and others say they have sources that have told them this tidbit:

While they fully expected the new FBI report to come back with nothing new, it actually looks even better than that.  They expect to get a few dem votes out of it, with the split being either 54-46 or 55-45.

I wouldn't trust a thing Ericson has to say.  Hope he is right, but he doesn't have an inside track on anything.

51-50.  Collins and Murkowski - yes.  Flake - no.  Pence decides.

Some red state Dems figure they might as well vote for the guy, seeing as he'll be confirmed anyway.

   It's obviously a lot closer than some of us think if McConnell is gonna delay again for a wedding.
