Open Thread

Discuss things not related to Dr. Blasey Ford and her endless excuses and evasions.

Oh, wait. I found #TheHottestTake. The hottest take of all.

See, if you believe in the Bible, get this, you must believe Blasey Ford's fuzzy memories.

Because, like, her own testament was written closer to Current Year.



Weird thing about a testament, though: It requires testifying.

Something that Feminist Saint Ford is, for whatever reason, curiously reluctant to do.

Here's this dear-heart's bio, by the way:

Well here is here an extract from her letter...
"Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school
in the early 1980's. He conducted these acts with the assistance of

63 There was a link someone posted recently (probably here, though I don't recall) that noted that an awful lot of time passed between when Plato wrote "The Republic", and when the earliest copy existing today was made. This was contrasted with the Four Gospels, and the link noted that considerably less time had passed there.

The takeaway from that was that people question whether the Four Gospels are legitimate, in part due to the gap between when they were written, and when the earliest still-existing copies were written. But no one questions whether "The Republic" was a forgery, even though there's a much, much bigger time leap involved there.

That's what this idiot's tweet brings to mind.

In any case, looking to the Four Gospels for insight into that period of time is of limited value. But there are plenty of secular sources from the era - such as Josephus - that answer the needed questions. And any historian of the era with an ounce of sense would easily school this idiot.

Some of it is just HS girl internet drama.

Basically, Jim/Metokur/Antibully is mocking Sargon for taking himself too seriously. Sargon was invited to speak to the EU Parliment by UKIP or some such, about the new internet filtering that's being demanded. It didn't work, obviously, and Jim posted some teasing taunts about Sargon and his ill-fitting suit.

Sargon, who apparently is thin-skinned, has been nursing a grudge against Jim for a while for his teasing and released a long video taunting Jim in return.

So then Jim put out another video and livestream, taunting Sargon some more....


It's just internet drama. It's about personalities, not anything of substance.

220 You cannot deny the parallels, though, between people who were willing to testify under torture, and threat of death, with those unwilling to fly to DC. Exactly alike.

On threats, Garaghty made a good point. EVERYONE who is at all visible in politics gets these threats. He cited himself as someone who is minimally notable; he gets them too.

That's additional to the question of whether these threats ever were made. I recall the Peterson-Newman show's aftermath, when she claimed she had gotten such threats. It came out that all she got was stuff like "Dumb bitch". Of course, if you're a full fledged snowflake, that makes you feel unsafe or something. Just like a rape.

It's somewhat remote and permissive, I guess - but I've always wondered how Lebanese and Iranian Shi'a terrorists mix in and get along in that completely different environment. Probably just the organized-crime base of the area is their substrate.

Well night goes on, we're getting friendlier (and drunker, of course) and we start making out. Move to a "private" room. About 5-minutes in I to reach for some boobage (which were, must be said, spectacular) to have my hand pushed-back down into my lap.

You said "I think Whelan's tweets were ranging shots. I think that was the message being transmitted - we know who the other person there was.

That woman probably has the hard evidence or testimony."

Do you think that Whelan would do this and not just name names? He dragged another person's name through the mud to try and make some retarded point about "it might not be Kavanaugh" with no evidence at all. He is an attention whore. Dropping the twats name would get him mucho visibility, something attention whores live for. And what testimony or hard evidence do you think this girl would have? You realize that "hard evidence" is a fact (or facts) that can be proved. What do you think she's got besides "I did see it" or "I didn't see it". No proof either way, although it would screw Saint Ford over in the court of public opinion.

I am reasonably convinced of events in Judaea 2000 years ago because I can read books written about the area by people who were there at the time, or nearenough in space (Philo) and time (Josephus). People who were honest (well, okay, Josephus was a tad self-serving, but he was good at discussing people he hated, like the fanatics who kept trying to get him killed).

What's in The Gospel According To Ford? She very likely hasn't even written the story of the right guy. This is like finding some biography of Barabbas at a bus station with the wrong title, in crayon

342 In a perverse way, I can't help but be impressed with the efficacy of the Dems, albeit in service of Satan himself. And yes they have the crowing sycophants of the media on their side.

But, they spun this whole shitburger out of thin air. They have one broad who lived near Kavanaugh. That's it. Zero witnesses. Zero actual evidence and
a story so vague it doesn't rise to the level of a rumor. And they have tied the process in knots. I wish Conservatives were half as dedicated and effective.

345 > Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, has been forced to add a Code of Conduct to the Linux kernel and then suspend himself from the project for a period of time.

Nah, he voluntarily stepped down because he was sick of dealing with the reeeeeee! mob.

What I expect to happen: he takes a well-deserved vacation (dude has been on the job with no real breaks since 1992), then in six months or so he forks off "Finnix" or some such. All the good programmers immediately jump ship to that, and Linux becomes a decaying backwater for virtue-signaling SJWs.

379 While wasting some time today I looked at the negative (Amazon one-star) reviews of Fred Brook's "Mythical Man Month". Ignoring the one honest one, the three duplicates, and the one that didn't seem to realize the book is about software, not building pyramids, the "reviews" were more rants exposing the ignorance of the reviewers.

"The technology was old" -- because Brooks was there and doing that in the 1960s. But he was writing about people, and the people haven't changed.

"It was too religious!" -- seriously. He used a couple Biblical references and made an aside comment about the traditional view of marriage. Most of the references fall more into the realm of "western civilization cultural references" -- like the Tower of Babel. If you don't get them, the problem isn't his religion, but your ignorance. If his view of marriage bothers you, well, toughen up buttercup, because he's not unique and some of the vibrant cultured foreigners you're importing make him look like a radical feminist.

"SEXIST!!!" -- He was writing between 1965 and 1975, revisiting the book around 1995. He didn't follow the fetishes of the 2010s.

The most sexist thing he wrote? "You can get nine women pregnant, but they won't have a baby in a month."

*sigh*

There has never been a group of more callow, childish people than the SJWs.

393 @317 - I don't think Whelan's tweets were a mistake, I don't think he was attention whoring. I think they were deliberate and had a purpose. Kavanaugh, Judge, and Garrett were on the football team together and are presumably friends. Whelan is friends with Kavanaugh. I think that he would know that a backfire of a internet detective theory would be a negative, especially after promising a refutation. I don't know the guy, so I could be completely wrong.

But Whelan telegraphed that the 5th person at the party was known. And if that person is not being contacted and promoted as a corroborating witness by Ford - she is probably being contacted by the WH team.

What kinds of information could be a complete refutation? Maybe identifying the house? And the date? What if she had pictures from the party? It wasn't a time when everyone always had cameras, but the yearbook photos showed that pictures were taken at parties....

This is all conjecture of course. Whelan might have been drunker than Cooter Brown and tweeting out of his ass.

434 I think it was this morning's Instapundit where I read that some scientist had a bunch of papers retracted. He got investigated after he was caught handing a page of numbers to one of his grad student peons and telling her that there had to be something useful to be gotten out of the numbers. A big no no in stats, it messes up validity.

The kicker was that he was the guy whose "science" underlay Michelle Obama's school lunch program.

Speaking of her, and her $3000/ticket VIP tour, everyone knows she had a bunch of plastic surgery since 2016, right? Not insider knowledge, but it's hard to see how it could be more obvious.

439 One of the lessons that I teach when dealing with law is that if someone goes above and beyond to give additional procedural rights that are not called for, they generally win at the higher court and the court of public opinion. Grassley and to some extent other Republicans are killing Ford with kindness.

As a result, it ain't playing the way that Dems thought it would (CNN focus group for example). It is possible that the Monday hearing might move things one way or another if she appears credible but I would say that the odds are you have Justice Kavanaugh next week.

If Kavanaugh is approved, the FISA information breaks, etc. things are going to be interesting at election time. With the new early voting, stuff will break earlier in the cycle--for the Dems, Mueller has to come through early as they rely heavily on early voting. Trump though has proven to be able to break their media coverage and really all the Dems have to present the voters is they hate Trump and you should too. Difficult to run on (see Republicans in 9 and it is killing some of their policy ideas that could have given them some traction with independent voters.

488 Speaking of the Book of Wisdom, the opening is pretty damn apropos:

Listen, all you who are judges here on earth. Learn to love justice; learn to think high thoughts of what God is, and with sincere hearts aspire to him. Trust him thou must, if find him thou wouldst; he does not reveal himself to one that challenges his power. Man's truant thoughts may keep God at a distance, but when the test of strength comes, folly is shewn in its true colours; never yet did wisdom find her way into the schemer's heart, never yet made her home in a life mortgaged to sin. A holy thing it is, the spirit that brings instruction; how it shrinks away from the touch of falsehood, holds aloof from every rash design! It is a touchstone, to betray the neighbourhood of wrong-doing. A good friend to man is this spirit of wisdom, that convicts the blasphemer of his wild words; God can witness his secret thoughts, can read his heart unerringly, and shall his utterance go unheard? No, the spirit of the Lord fills the whole world; bond that holds all things in being, it takes cognisance of every sound we utter; how should ill speech go unmarked, or the scrutiny of justice pass it by? The hidden counsel of the godless will all come to light; no word of it but reaches the divine hearing, and betrays their wicked design; that jealous ear is still listening, and all their busy murmuring shall stand revealed.

Checking out there position on a ship location chart that is up-loadable real time I saw some amusing things. The ship was passing Oahu's West coast going North/Northwest going towards Kauai when I notices an USN ship designated "Torpedo Retriever" about 5 KnM to the East between the ship and Oahu. And I though "What the heck is that?'. Looking around there was a token that explained everything about 20 south ....marked "USN Submarine". Guess that's what need it torpedoes retrieved. Whats going on someone playing Battleship out there?

Now Brandon, where were you on say June 15, 1982. Were you at home, or were you traveling? What city, what state? What did you do? Who did you talk to? Who saw you. If you were single and dating, who did you take out that night? Where did you go? What did she eat? When you took her somewhere at the end of the evening, did you go to her place or to yours? What did the two of you have to drink? Did you read Methodist hymns or did you jump her bones? If you didn't go all the way, how far did you get?

@ChadPergram

Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte GOP: I was stunned to see that the Judiciary Committee noticed Judge Kavanaugh's vote for Monday morning, in the midst of our ongoing discussions regarding the terms and conditions under which Dr. Christine Blasey Ford could testify before the Cmte

Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte: Incredibly, you did so well before the 10:00 pm deadline you..arbitrarily imposed just hrs before. The imposition of aggressive & artificial deadlines regarding the date & conditions..has created tremendous & unwarranted anxiety and stress on..Ford

Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte: Your cavalier treatment of a sexual assault survivor who has been doing her best to cooperate with the Cmte is completely inappropriate. Yesterday, we had what I thought was a productive dialogue about the conditions..Ford would find acceptable

Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte GOP: It is now abundantly clear that regardless of the assurances Senator Grassley has made, you have been tasked with pressuring Dr. Ford to agree to conditions you find advantageous to the nominee

Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte GOP: In an email sent today at 4:01 p.m., I advised you that..Ford had traveled to meet with the FBI..about..death threats she had been receiving & we would need until tomorrow to confer w/her & to be able to provide you w/a well-considered response

Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte GOP: Rather than allowing her the time she needs to respond to the take-it-or-leave-it demand.:you sent us an email at 5:47 pm - which you again gave to the media first -
insisting that we accept your "invitation" for a Wed hrng by 10:00 pm tonight

Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte: The 10:00 p.m. deadline is arbitrary. Its sole purpose is to bully Dr. Ford and deprive her of the ability to make a considered decision that has life-altering implications for her and her family

Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte: She has already been forced out of her home and continues to be subjected to harassment, hate mail, and death threats. Our modest request is that she be given an additional day to make her decision.

623 I think it's clear at this point that the Dems don't want her to testify. If they thought her testimony would kill the nomination, they would have jumped at the chance to get her out there. They're not even allowing sympathetic media interview her!
They simply want to delay it and look kinda good doing it.
The Repubs, on the other hand, seem VERY interested in her testimony. Another clue that her story has major issues.
At this point, I trust Grassly to do the right thing.

I put up HardiBoard elsewhere on the house, as one-piece sheathing/siding. The gable ends are well under the roof overhang, and have 1/2" OSB on the studs already. So these siding boards are strictly to make-pretty. I probably won't use actual butt joints, but cut the ends of the boards at complementary 45 degree angles; so scarf joints, I guess.

654 My name is Linda. I was sexually assaulted when I was 6 years old. I remember exactly where I was, what time it was, where it happened. I remember the furnishings in my home. I remember the tea pot on the stove. I remember what I was wearing. I remember where my friends were. I remember the day and I remember what the weather was like.

I was living in the projects back in those days in Washington State. I was a child. The only other person that knows of this is my mother. When I told her what happened, she filed charges against the old man that assaulted me.

We went to court. I was put on the stand. In front of a courtroom of people, in front of my accuser. The Judge who presided over that case asked me if I could state where the old man touched me, assaulted me, raped me. All I could say was "down there".

Because I did not know the technical word for "down there" was a vagina, the man who assaulted me got off scott free. I was six years old. I remember every scintilla of details, even down to the clothing I was wearing.

The man who did this to me got away with it because I didn't know what the word 'vagina' meant. I was 6 years old. My mother and I had to ride down an elevator with my assailant. I want the accuser of Brett Kavanaugh to be held to account.

When you are sexually assaulted, you never forget it. The date. The time. The place.

If you would like verification of my case you can contact me Lgreen33578@gmail.com.

Thanks for reading.
