#FakeNews Reporter Stages Dramatic Storm Footage;
Brian "Tater" Stelter Defends
Blood in, blood out.
So dramatic! Dude from the weather channel bracing for his life, as 2 dudes just stroll past. #HurricaneFlorence pic.twitter.com/8FRyM4NLbL

This looks bad, obviously. But FWIW, in @MikeSeidel's defense, the channel noted that "the 2 individuals in the background are walking on concrete" while he's on wet grass, and he was "undoubtedly exhausted" from constant live shots... https://t.co/KcnxW2Ejoi

Additionally, if you look at the blowing vegetation, it's blowing right to left. The "reporter" is pretending to lean into the wind, but they're leaning the wrong way to do that.

So, Vic - how's the weather?
ms mouse has some distant relatives in the Charlotte area (Matthew, IIRC) and was chatting w/some over the weekend. Said rainy, but no problems. So this AM we're watching the alphabet networks, she's reading some online newz, and an official twatwaffle is blabbering on about eastern NC being "impassable" and worse.
So, she picks up her phone and calls - said relative is on their way to visit/help out another extended family member, and they're on I 95, which we just watched as being impassable. Pics were sent, and the road is clear, open, sunny, and has some traffic.
So the issue is - has weather reporting succumbed fully to the Gell Mann amnesia effect? Short of calling family/friends/whoever in a given area, how can one reasonably comprehend what's happening?
Feh.

Rape button, Matt Lauer actually called her on it. The live shot was done by Michelle Kosinski. Lauer asked if the two people walking through were prophets or something since they could obviously walk on water. But, it's telling that now, the media doesn't admit to their dishonesty. They double down. Tater reflects today's attitude. The self-importance and condescension can be cut with a knife. How dare you question us. How dare you challenge us with facts.

If a congressman is not seated or removed from office, the governor will call for a special election. Congressmen are never appointed in these cases (unlike senators).

the Skank who has accused a decent man of horrible crime over 35 years ago at a party, yet she is supposedly not remembering all of the details. A woman wrote into Rush this morning who said she was raped decades ago, and remembers everything in detail.
Will she show up in the next 2 days in the Senate? She has the time because she spent the last few days, finishing wiping her social media accounts of all content and history before anyone could look it up. So she has time now. Of course, if this "incident" has so affected her in the last 35+ years, she should be desperately wanting to testify and seek the tables to finally turn.
I compare this woman to the response of the Olympic athletes who were abused by that doctor.
Will the Skank show up to the Senate? I doubt it.

I knew a guy in college who spoke 7 languages fluently. His native Hindi, English, and a host of other European languages. Hindi and English were obvious, but I asked him how he chose the others. His response?
"I know how to swear in 20 languages. Always learn how to swear first. The best languages for swearing are the best languages to learn, because you get a good feeling for how flexible and innovative the language is."
His favorite languages were English and Dutch, FWIW.

Yeah, they were hoping for a major hurricane and they got a Cat 1 -- which is not considered major. So they're playing up the rain totals as proof of global warming.
Their was some comment from a NC official type that actually rang true -- something to the effect that if you have two '500 year floods' in two years you might have to redefine the meaning.

To be fair, it's not all O'Rourke's fault. In fact, for a Texas Democrat, he's downright impressive. Texas Democrats are notorious for not being able to tie their shoes, so O'Rourke's relatively aggressive and disciplined grassroots campaign are unusual in the state. As close observers of state politics have noted, O'Rourke's lackluster showing in the primary says more about Texas Democrats than it does about O'Rourke.
I couldn't disagree more.
Nothing about the Beto campaign is grassroots. Nothing.

Previous hurricane I recall somewhat simular "let's make this dramatic" camera work for a live hurricane reporter.
To show how bad the flooding was, the reporter was broadcasting live from a small boat in the middle of the intersection. Looking good until a pedestrian walked through the shot with water only just past his ankles...

Shapiro is useless. He's, at best, only concerned with promoting his own brand, at worst he's an enemy agent. Also, there's probably more going on here than we can see right now.

Yeah there's nothing credible about her tweet at all. Zero. She claims something took place, with vague details, and the two guys she accuses say nothing of the sort happened. There's no evidence, and she sat on the story for decades, even through the federal judicial nomination, and now it suddenly comes up?
And the more we know about this woman the more we find out she's a SJW "resistance" type?
Nobody is giving this credibility, there are just lefties yelling about it because it is politically useful. When Kavanaugh is confirmed on Thursday, the girl will disappear, because her story failed to stop the appointment.

Their was some comment from a NC official type that actually rang true
-- something to the effect that if you have two '500 year floods' in two
years you might have to redefine the meaning.
Posted by: Forgot My Nic
That, or you didn't have a flood for 499 years, and you won't have another one for another 499 years.
That's how blocks of 500 works.
What if you had a flood in 1018 and didn't have another flood until 2018? That's two 500 year floods.
Posted by: rickb223 at September 17, 2018 01:06 PM (Kq2SQ)
Ugh, what utter stupidity and ignorance regarding statistics and probability.
A 500 year event does not describe a guaranteed frequency of an event. It is ON AVERAGE, the frequency, not a predictor. Stupid should hurt more.

It's far more serious and insidious than that. They started concentrating on middle aged women digging up "repressed memories" of their fathers having raped them daily, at home, from the time they were 8 months old until they were 12 years old ... but they totally forgot, until now, and all of a sudden they can remember every little detail from when they were 1 year old ... Serious shit that fvcked up a lot of families that were unlucky enough to have unstable daughters who got willingly or unwillingly got roped into this stuff.

I may be missing the question bc tl
r, but if you plot the intensity and frequency of storms and other natural events, it's amazing how linear the relationships can be.
I don't recall if rain events are literally linear or some kind of exponential, but it's pretty easy to predict likely maximum return for a given period, or on the other hand the likelihood of a given size event in a year's time.
The judgement part of setting building codes is what level of return is an acceptable risk. It boils down to putting an actual dollar value on human life which is a ticklish thing to do.

Trump can now nominate a super-conservative, and the Democrats won't be able to do anything but shriek and bleed in public.

There's a super-sketchy guy at my church who has an official "diagnosis" of being the victim of satanic rituals. The "psychologist" who gave him his diagnosis did some sort of repressed memory pseudo-science garbage to get him to remember.
In reality he's just a screwed up guy who does a lot of drugs to forget how much of a screwup he is.
He spends the majority of his time trying to get government services because he can't work due to the trauma of being the victim of satanic ritual. The rest of the time he bothers church leadership trying to get freebies from the church. Oh, and drugs. He fills a lot of time with that.

The Repubs will have a larger majority in the Senate, probably adding 3 to 5 seats. Thus a 54 to 56 seats, maybe even more. So bowing down to Collins and Murtkowski are eliminated. Flake and Corker? Gone.
Trump can now nominate a super-conservative, and the Democrats won't be able to do anything but shriek and bleed in public.
So do you want Kavanaugh, or a super pro-Lifer? There are at least a couple of them on Trump's 25 list. Because you KNOW Trump will do exactly this to them.
And I will drink their tears in glory.

If by this you mean the "500 year" label being thrown about loosely. I agree. But setting the predicted magnitude of what that event would be is pretty easy statistics.
Of interest, maybe; the wind speeds reported on news for tornadoes are always crap.
Wind storm testing was done on model buildings in wind tunnels, and the damage observed at various wind speeds.
We set the magnitude of a tornado in the wild by comparing damage to that observed in the lab.
It's very much a matter of judgement, and depends entirely that the buildings in the actual tornado were constructed in the same manner and quality as the test buildings.
At any rate. Once someone says "it's an F 3" then the bubble heads on TV look up the table and say the "wind speeds were reprted as ...". No one measures this wind speeds, but the general public is certainly understand the impression that we do.

_______________________
Some people may have forgotten, but during the 1980's or 90's, Roseanne Barr was convinced that her parents had sexually abused her for years when she was a kid. She went on a bunch of talk shows and spoke about it, she was on the cover of People magazine as an "incest" survivor, and she wrote about it too. She gave explicit details, saying things like that her father had forced her to play with his penis, etc. Her parents, and her siblings, strenuously denied Barr's claims, and even took and passed polygraphs.
Years later, in the early 2000's, Barr said the sexual abuse never happened. Unfortunately, by the time she admitted that, her father had already died. Barr blamed the false memories on the variety of psychiatric drugs she'd been taking at the time she made the accusations.

We are "overdue" for a major eruption of Mt. Rainier based on study of geological history (500-1000 years, on average). We didn't keep "records" during that time in the way we think of records and measurements now.
The point is that past history is not a predictor of future events. A statistical average frequency of 500 years completely allows for back to back 500 year events, though the probability may not be as high as say a larger time separation on the order of the average frequency.

A 500-year flood has a 0.2% chance of being met or exceeded every year. This is the definition. A 100-year flood has a 1.0% chance of being met or exceeded every year. This is how the flood events are calculated.
The names are misleading. It's all about risk and how much risk the government is willing to accept regarding flood insurance and infrastructure construction. For example, when a bridge is designed to meet 100-year floods without overtopping, this means that the government is willing to bet that the bridge will not have to be replaced unless a +100-year storm occurs. Which means that they have a 1.0% chance of having to replace it every year.

If I get this right, he was one of the guys who swooped into post-Soviet Russia and got rich off of some dirty deals that were illegal in Russia...but such laws were generally not enforced.
He was an early ally of Putin.
By the mid 2000s they weren't on good terms and Putin went after him for the laws that Browder almost certainly did break (even if they had generally not been enforced) .
At this point Browder became an anti-Putin crusader and managed to get the Russia prosecution of him declared to be political in Europe and the US - claiming that Putin was coming after him because Putin is (obviously) a corrupt SOB.

If you look at the actual data plotted out, it's amazing how steady the relationship appears to be.
The prediction models have a pretty good basis in reality, at least for wind and rain events. Earthquakes do too, and I would guess volcanic eruptions but we don't design buildings for those do I don't know anything about them.
The difference in my mind is that we understand the build up of forces over time for earthquake and volcanoes, and have some ability to (try anyway) to measure that strain building up.
So it's probably logical to talk about "being due" for an earthquake or volcanoe, but nonsense to talk like that about a tornado or flood.

But while her clients claims have raised bipartisan concerns about Kavanaugh, Katz, a longtime Democratic donor known for representing sexual harassment accusers, also has a history of downplaying or dismissing accusations made by women against Democratic politicians -- including former President Bill Clinton and former Minnesota Sen. Al Franken.

At this point Browder became an anti-Putin crusader and managed to get the Russia prosecution of him declared to be political in Europe and the US - claiming that Putin was coming after him because Putin is (obviously) a corrupt SOB.
Do I have all this right?

Yup... what people do not understand is that once the Soviet Union fell, Russia entered a Robber Baron phase of Capitalism.
One where there is collusion between those getting rich, and a government who wants an expansion of the economy.
Think George Hearst and Politicians of that timeframe.

Yes. As I wrote above, a 500-year flood has a 0.2% chance of being met or exceeded every year. It has nothing to do with whether or not there was a 500-year flood the year before.

McConnell will not bring a losing vote to the floor. What Flake just did was ensure that every wavering Dem in a Red state can now vote against Kav with no blow-back.
I'm sure those dems are well aware that Flake isn't going to be in the senate come Jan.

Again, it depends on what No means, were Flake to flip. The committee may report the nomination to the Senate favorably, unfavorably, or without recommendation, or it may choose to take no action at all.
If Flake flips to Nay, it probably means Unfavorable Report to the full Senate. McConnell can put it on the calendar for Executive Session, with unanimous consent, or a vote of 50+1. Maybe even just by himself but it has to wait a day, I think.
If the committee chooses the no action recourse, any Senator can use a discharge petition to get it out of the committee's jurisdiction. That may be fillibusterable but McConnell could take that to the Parliamentarian since it would sort of eviscerate the previous unconstitutionality ruling of filibusters on Federal Judges.
Really, it's in McConnell's hands as long as he has the 50%+1 of Senators present.

Posted by: speaking of wildly optimistic at September 17, 2018 01:31 PM (C6xeQ)
You do understand the House doesn't have anything to say on Supreme Court appointments, right? Or who actually votes on impeachment? And yes, I know what the Dems are doing. Even if they take the House, they can stomp their feet all they want, and yes they will, but Trump will be fine. It would mess up Trump's continued success, however.
===========
*sigh*
Just because its the stupid democrats plan, doesn't mean I don't understand how things work.
The house votes on impeachment. The senate votes to convict or not.
After the house votes to impeach. Regardless of Senate outcome -- the new "rule" will be that an impeached president, can't nominate a supreme court justice and we will have to wait until the next election until a new justice can be nominated. Watch and see.
They think they'll win that election too and will be the one picking the next supreme court justices.

This.
The whole idea here is to provide air cover for Dems running for re-election in pro-American states. Now they can vote against Kavanaugh, keeping the Reds off their backs, and claim to pro-American voters that they did so because they were "troubled" by the specious allegation. That will mollify some of the pro-American voters, perhaps enough to save the Dem candidates.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were both whacked, frankly. Maybe the accuser sought out a therapist who would be sympathetic to this sort of thing.
I just read the Wiki entry on the McMartin case, and the lead interviewer of the kids was a former lobbyist for NOW, and pretty obviously in the bag for this sort of thing. The whole picture became a lot clearer: the interviewer probably had an agenda from the get-go.

The above note says it all. Some staffers methodically assembled every single whopper about Trump that the Left has created, and put HRC's name on it. That The Atlantic would publish it is further evidence of the magazine's irrelevance.
