Storm looks totally disgusting, no class at all! TRAVELER WARNING ISSUED FOR TURKEY: Chatter from terrorist groups suggests plot to kidnap Americans. I know some Turks. Great friends of mine. They always tell me, "You're so smart, your hair is so golden and lustrous, everyone says it." Terrific people. Not so great at hand-washing, though. THIS MUST CHANGE! TROPICAL STORM CANDACE CHANGES PATH, NOW THREATENS SOUTH CAROLINA: This one, folks. What can I tell you? She's what I call a "real beaut." Like this Christine Ford woman. Keeps changing her story. I'm going to Alabama, I'm going to South Carolina, I don't know where I'm going, I had one beer. I'm a doctor, now I'm a baby. I'm afraid to fly, oh wait, now I'm building my own jet-pack. If this storm wants to hit someone, it should come at me. I can take it. ONLY I CAN FIX! AMBER ALERT: A seven-year-old girl, Heather Swinton, is missing in Kansas. WHERE IS MICHAEL AVIATTI? Guy rubs me the wrong way. Maybe rubs kids the wrong way, if you know what I mean. I MEAN HE DIDDLES CHILDREN. Not right! DOW JONES PLUNGES. Just kidding, folks. The Dow Jones is huge. Huge. People are telling me, Donald, I've never seen the stock market so high, it's incredible, I can't believe it, unemployment is at record lows, you're the greatest thing for black employment since slavery. #MAGA! PRESIDENTIAL CLARIFICATION ALERT: My drip of a son-in-law is bitching at me that I shouldn't have said that thing about slavery. Come on, these are jokes. Where are my blacks? They know what I mean. Kanye and me, we're cool. You see his wife? Phew. Ass like a dump-truck carrying eight tons of fuck. I'm getting off-track. I do that, I do that sometimes. Dat ass doh. But seriously, the black employment rate has never been higher. People tell me, they say Donald, this is incredible, black and hispanic unemployment is at record lows, it's unbelievable, we all doubted you, we all said you couldn't do it, you have incredible skin, you went to Wharton. Jim Acosta's a fag! Oh, to add in some real news: John Bolton said "Palestine" today and put it in " " " air quotes " " ". Which is fantastic. — David Rutz (@DavidRutz) October 3, 2018 Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I got willowed, and I'm not letting my below brilliant and obvious observation go without allowing the horde to see.
-------------- And, right on schedule, Murkowski (and Collins, I think) upset by Trump's tone, his "mocking" of Ford. ---------- Until and unless there is a vote, these are freebies for the two of them. They get to appease the left without having to worry about pissing off the right. Hold the vote and let the chips fall where they may. At some point, they will not be able to hide behind rhetoric and must cast a vote - only then can they truly be held accountable. Until then, we should expect them to speak favorably toward Ford - as it is just a free pass. Posted by: SH at October 03, 2018 03:25 PM (sX1BW) 56

SH, correct. And on that point, willowed from last thread, I'll repost:
Latest schedule intel is Friday cloture vote, so no confirmation vote before Sunday, earliest. Mitch better be as serious as he's seemed on this. Break the decades-long GOP moratorium on consequences for outrageous behavior within the caucus - i.e. consequences for Murk and Collins if they follow through on their idiotic musings. Even more important - hold the vote, do not withdraw. GOP has desperately pushed politics out of politics - avoided having any incumbents make any hard choices - for years. Big part of the national crisis. I fear the wholly inappropriate, inertial, ingrained approach of withdrawing the nomination will be considered - which would amount to an enormous victory, probably a final and decisive one, for the idiot vandals now trashing what's left of the civic culture.

before Sunday, earliest. Mitch better be as serious as he's seemed on this. Break the decades-long GOP moratorium on consequences for outrageous behavior within the caucus - i.e. consequences for Murk and Collins if they follow through on their idiotic musings. -------------- Perfect - hold the vote on Sunday. Gives me something to watch other than the NFL. Withdraw is not an option, and would be a huge disservice to Kavanaugh who deserves to know his fate after sacrificing so much.

My guess is that Collins and Murky can do whatever they want with relative impunity. The margin in the senate is too narrow to impose consequences, and unless the GOP runs the tables it won't change too much in November. The most that could be done to them is primary them. And Murky probably isn't vulnerable to that, if her last go-round is any indication. I'd love to see them horsewhipped. But I'm not holding my breath.

That previous thread was a hoot. The whole problem is trying to assess injustice at a group level instead of an individual level. So a whole lot of people feel aggrieved who were never wronged, and they blame a whole lot of people, most of whom did no wrong. All that bullshit used to rationalize that central stinking idea, which is self refuting, since the race, gender or sexuality could be reversed in order to justify to hatred and oppression the other side.

"Ana Maria Archila is from our district, is from Queens," Ocasio-Cortez, prompting a round of applause. "In fact, she is an immigration activist, which just goes to show intersectionality and how interwoven all of these fights are. Because she is putting everything on the line and risking deportation ... not even for a direct immigration action but for the action of all survivors. And that's how we need to be. We need to be championing the causes of our neighbors. That is what creates power and movement, coalition building."

These people are so disgusting. Why do so many perceive them as brave? Instead of being grateful for being treated as well as they are, they behave like belligerent petulant thugs, always pushing the line farther and farther. It should be a massive turn off.

Notice how Ace's humor mocks the left while simultaneously poking fun at Trump's insane communication style -- and no one here is clutching their pearls and acting offended that The Great God Trump (as the left mistakenly thinks we regard him) is being disrespected.
Compare that to the pious awestruck reverence of Obama that the Left self-enforced on itself for 8 years (and continuing to today). No criticism of him, in any form, is ever allowed. This is why we are #Winning. Because the humor is now on our side. In the '60s, lefties were deemed the loose-and-crazy funny one, while conservatives were uptight humorless squares. Now the roles are reversed. Although the left continuously tries to pretend that they on the ones with the humor. But no one believes that framework any more because it is self-evidently no longer true.

Oh, zombie, correct, good point.
The difference in sense of humor - the EXISTENCE of a sense of humor - is exhibit #236 that there really is not comparison between most people on the two "sides". And Trump has me laughing, in some way, from some angle, nearly every day. I find it possible to laugh AT, and WITH, Trump, simultaneously. An unusual, if not unique, situation.

300 I was amazed to see Sharpton was only 64, because he looks like he's 80. Usually black guys age well, don't start looking rough until they're Bill Cosby's age, but Sharpton has used up most of whatever life he had in him. Just looking at him, he looks like he's got a couple years left in him, maybe. Not much more.
_____________________ Remember back when he was a fat load, and used to wear those cheesy velour track suits and lots of heavy jewelry all the time? He had weight loss surgery. That's how he lost the weight, basically had no choice but to lose weight. But like a lot of other men who had that surgery (he had the more radical kind, and it was quite a few years ago, so not as relatively simple as it is now), he had a lot of health complications from the procedure. That's why he always looks like death warmed over. Posted by: Boofffff Patrol at October 03, 2018 04:12 PM (fqUgw) 428

NGU, my first reaction to the S-300/Syria thing is outstanding - now we'll have live-fire data and experience on how to defeat that system, after Israel wipes it out. Second thought is more of a puzzlement: Moscow is quite sensibly being very careful with Israel in Syria, they communicate constantly. I think Israel vetoed this transfer, but Moscow did it anyway. Not consistent with recent pattern, not very smart.

>>>>Haven't seen anything more about the ex-BF, but the retired FBI agent/buddy of Ford's, McLean, denies that Ford ever coached her on taking a polygraph.
----- Here's the thing though. The ex-boyfriend didn't say that Ford "coached" McLean, he said that Ford explained how the polygraph worked in order that McLean would feel less nervous about the test. "Coaching" implies that Ford was teaching McLean how to beat the polygraph. So McLean saying, "She never coached me," can be technically true but does not address the actual claim. It also does not address the questions that Mitchell asked. Posted by: Ghost of Lee Atwater at October 03, 2018 04:15 PM (lNdj3) 457

____________________ I'm curious to know what Chris Garrett ("Squi" on Kav's 7/1 calendar notes) had to say to the FBI. Did he also say (like Kav, Judge, Smyth, Keyser) that he has no knowledge of the party Ford described? Also, Garrett is the guy who Ford "went out with for a couple months" before the party, and the guy through whom Ford says she met Kavanaugh and Judge. Ford went out of her way to try and protect Garrett in her senate testimony, even refusing to utter his name. There is also speculation that Ford changed the number of people she said were at the party in order to avoid implicating Garrett as the person whose house the party happened in. So it will be interesting to see what, if anything, Garrett has to say about Ford's claims. Posted by: Boofffff Patrol at October 03, 2018 04:22 PM (fqUgw) 506

Actually SH I don't think that covers it, this time.
Issue is whether there is any evidence for very recent, very non-credible, claims made against Kav. That simple. There won't be any. GOPers can cite that. Dems have *already* pivoted to other non-issues (drink!), or just gone completely stupid (Booker, explicitly saying the facts, guilt or innocence, aren't the point!). Aside from the most brain-dead and NPR-addled among their "base", this gets zero traction - and in fact hurts them with anyone paying attention, as I've been asserting for a while now.

502 THat doesn't make any sense. How can the sender know ahead of time what model of phone will receive the alert? If I send out an email, for example, I have no idea if the receiver is using a Cray supercomputer from 1972 or a 2018 Fitbit. Via what mechanism can the sender "only" send the text to "newer" phones? What if I originally had an old ipHone, but 15 minutes before the alert being sent, I went out and bought a new iPhone and put the old SIM card in it?
Posted by: zombie at October 03, 2018 04:19 PM (c+2jX) It's not a text alert, it's an emergency alert. The cell towers shoot it out to every connected device. In that sense, it's regional. So if, say, Southern California had some kind of emergency that the rest of the world didn't, the cell companies could send the alert to those 100 towers and all phones connected to them. Older phones can't read and display the message, it's not an SMS text. Posted by: Harry Paratestes Wha---??? If what you're saying is true, then what is the "app" that receives and displays the message? If they "shoot it out to every connected device," then that would include my phone too, right? And I have the latest version of iOS, so fi there is some pre-packaged built-in app for these alerts, then my phone would have it. I still don't understand.

Rhomboid - you are bringing logic and reason to an emotional battle. It doesn't matter what it says. It could say Ford is the biggest liar that we have ever seen. Turns out neither her or Kavanaugh even lived or visited Maryland during the years 1981 - 1985. To the left, it would still implicate Kavanaugh.

It's a different system from normal text messages. Those are sent to individual phones. The alert messages are broadcast messages to all phones, not to a particular phone (which makes sense, because sending a separate message to every phone would bog the system down). They are in a completely different format, and on a completely different channel. The cellular modem in the phone has to have the right software and hardware to watch for these broadcast messages. Older phones don't have that. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia* at October 03, 2018 04:27 PM (f5LwH) 536

You can't turn them off. It should pop up on your home screen like any iPhone notification would. If you didn't, and yet are connected to a wireless cell tower, it's because, shocker, the government (or cell company) fucked up in sending out the message.

No, SH, I'm distinguishing between various camps. As I said, the worst won't care, because facts and plausible assertions etc were never a basis for their "opinions". But that's not the majority in this case, not even close. Common sense predicted that, and polling confirms it.
Last-second smear job of Kav will come up empty, with no corroborated claims. This will be known by most. It will return them to default position - few people get too worked up about SCOTUS nominations - which is that qualified nominee gets confirmed, meh. But I'm speculating it's a bit more complicated than that, this time. This has generated even more enthusiasm among already interested anti-Dem voters, and is surely alienating some anti-Dem/GOP/Trump-curious voters (anecdotal evidence abounds).

Yes, all phones manufactured after a certain date (I think 2012) have to be able to receive these "Presidential notifications." You can't turn them off. It should pop up on your home screen like any iPhone notification would.

If not in a formal majority committee document, then in floor statements, Grassley, Graham, et al need to sum up and talk trash on all this.
Grassley is beyond livid, and has let a bit of that come through in various letters over the past two weeks. For a confirmation debate on the floor, he really needs to come out and document, in detail, the bad faith and obstruction that has characterized the Dems' approach on this nomination from the outset. It's been histrionic, clumsy, obvious, outrageous. It may and should result in formal actions against members and staff, in addition to the referrals the committee has already made about false witnesses. This is all that is needed. Though it would be nice to remind everyone, and put in relief, the unbelievable statements of various Dems, discarding the logical and civilizational cornerstone of presumption-of-innocence. The Dems have almost certainly done themselves electoral damage here. For the country, it is important to document and publicize their depravity.

Ms. Monica McLean retired from the FBI in 2016; apparently right after the presidential election.

Now, where did Ms. Blasey-Ford testify she was located at the time she wrote the letter to Dianne Feinstein, accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh? [Transcript] MITCHELL: The second is the letter that you wrote to Senator Feinstein, dated the - July 30th of this year. MITCHELL: Did you write the letter yourself? FORD: I did. MITCHELL: And I - since it's dated July 30th, did you write it on that date? FORD: I believe so. I - it sounds right. I was in Rehoboth, Delaware, at the time.

As Yogi taught us, predictions are hard, especially about the future.

Posted by: buzzion OK, following your instructions, I just did that. There are two options, "Amber alerts" and "Emergency Alerts," both of which are turned off.

Zombie, by the law they passed, you can't turn off a Presidential alert. You can turn off all other emergency alerts, but not the national system. So, you still should've gotten it. It's likely a problem with the carriers, from what I've been reading, because apparently a lot of people didn't get it. Again, this is the purpose of such a test. This is the first test of the nationwide system. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at October 03, 2018 04:53 PM (f1Vqw) 696
592 Is this "ability" a hardware feature -- some kind of special Orwell-chip in the phone -- or a software feature? And even if it was hardware, it would require some kind of software to make the user aware of the message. What is the software called? What doe it look like?
Posted by: zombie at October 03, 2018 04:32 PM (c+2jX) Hardware feature to receive the message, software functionality built in to your operating system. The same way you get an alert that you got a new text message. There's no separate app or software running, its part of the operating system. Posted by: Harry Paratestes Ah, OK, that explains it. I either don't have the hardware feature, or found a way to disable the notification system, or both. I don't get an alert that I got a text message. Nor when I get a phone call. Turned all that shit off when I first got the phone. Posted by: zombie at October 03, 2018 04:53 PM (c+2jX) 697

If you want to imagine it like you have settings on your computer that only an administrator can make changes to. You aren't the administrator, but you can see those settings, but when you try to alter them you can't select them. This is like that, except not only can you not select it, the administrator has hidden the on/off button from you as well. Posted by: buzzion at October 03, 2018 04:58 PM (zRwJ/) 706

Zombie, it's called the WEA system, Wireless Emergency Alerts. They mandated all cell phones be able to receive them by a certain date. The system has been in place for years, and the NWS uses it for weather warnings (tornadoes, floods, etc) and locals use it for Amber Alerts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Emergency_Al erts It's just a simple broadcast system. You phone is radio. It receives the broadcast. It displays it. It's similar in concept to the Emergency Alert System for radio and TV. They always do a weekly test with that shit right when I'm watching something interesting, and the cable box then switches to some channel to display it. All the systems are now integrated into something called the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Public_Alert_ and_Warning_System Posted by: publius Hmmm, fascinating! You get "alerts" on your TV too? That's strange. I've have never gotten an alert on a TV screen, nor seen one on anyone else's TV screen. Granted, I don't watch TV much....

I'm still rocking the OG iPhone 5, which predates your 5c by a year. And you can't turn the notification off. It sounds like a decent number of people here didn't get the notification, so either a) government fucked up b) cell companies fucked up c) a lot of people didnt have service when the alert went out or some combination of the 3. Posted by: Harry Paratestes Fascinating! Your phone predates mine, and yet you can't turn the alerts off -- but I was able to! (Somehow.) Or maybe it was never sent. But since I've never ever gotten any kind of alert or notification ever, I suspect I somehow turned it all off. Posted by: zombie at October 03, 2018 05:03 PM (c+2jX) 711
