Kavanaugh: No More Nineties Reboots, Please | Full Frontal
Ramirez acknowledged that there are significant gaps in her memories of the evening, and that, if she ever presents her story to the F.B.I. or members of the Senate, she will inevitably be pressed on her motivation for coming forward after so many years, and questioned about her memory, given her drinking at the party.
In a statement, two of those male classmates who Ramirez alleged were involved in the incident, the wife of a third male student she said was involved, and three other classmates, Dino Ewing, Louisa Garry, and Dan Murphy, disputed Ramirez’s account of events: “We were the people closest to Brett Kavanaugh during his first year at Yale. He was a roommate to some of us, and we spent a great deal of time with him, including in the dorm where this incident allegedly took place. Some of us were also friends with Debbie Ramirez during and after her time at Yale. We can say with confidence that if the incident Debbie alleges ever occurred, we would have seen or heard about it—and we did not. The behavior she describes would be completely out of character for Brett. In addition, some of us knew Debbie long after Yale, and she never described this incident until Brett’s Supreme Court nomination was pending. Editors from the New Yorker contacted some of us because we are the people who would know the truth, and we told them that we never saw or heard about this.”
She says it took her six days of hard thinking and speaking to her attorney before she decided she believed that she was positive it was Kavanaugh. Again, no other witnesses are backing her up and the couple that did say they heard of some sort of incident involving a plastic penis and a party think they heard Kavanaugh's name mentioned but they weren't present at the party.
I have to say, there was far more credible information against Clarence Thomas and a panel led by Democrats voted to pass him on to the senate. It is worth investigation? Maybe, but how do you prove it? Both accusers admit they were heavily intoxicated at the time and both have no credible witnesses. If you do have an investigation and he is found innocent, would a Democratic senate even still consider him for SCOTUS? I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Sadly, it looks like he may be fucked even if he isn't guilty.
@Mordhaus, btw, it looks like another woman has come forward.
Again, this isn't proof, but it certainly strengthens the case for investigation.
Laxatives fed to Seagulls on the beach
I don't wanna be a 24kt dick here, but I fucking HATE seagulls.
Seagulls and Canadian Geese are both the assholes of the avian world and fuck 'em both. God was in a shitty mood when he created these flying abominations. Oh, and pelicans. Yeah, fuck them, too. A pelican took a shit the size of a dinner plate on my (at the time) brand new '97 Z-28 Camaro. Right on the fucking windshield, too. I mean, one minute, I'm enjoying myself at the beach and the next minute I'm looking at a greasy green rotten-fish-reeking shit covering half my goddamn windshield. I have no clue what pelican anatomy looks like, but they must be 99% rectum and 1% ill intents. What a wonderful time to discover I was outta windshield wiper fluid, too. Two little squirts and then my wipers were just smearing semi-digested fish across my windshield. Oh, that FUCKER! I know which one did it, too -- it was the one sitting on a post like three feet away laughing at me. Oh, sure, I could have beaten it to death with a tire iron, but then *I* would have been the one in trouble. You can't ticket a pelican for taking a massive dump on your car, but beat one to death with 2 feet of galvanized steel and you're the one who has to explain it all to a judge.
People feed those rancid fuckers, too. I hope the next cocksucker who tosses a Ritz in the direction of a pelican is staring at the sky with mouth agape when the damned thing decides to void its football-sized ass. That'd be karma right there, and fuck all the people right now going "that's not how karma works!" They can just start putting their Dharma-believing asses to work cleaning my windshield with their tongues.
Please forgive me: I've been drinking for the last six hours and I've gotten maybe a little feisty.

How a 1929 Silent Film Created the Countdown to Launch
Before the space shuttle would launch, the main engine would ignite first. After six seconds the two solid rocket boosters would ignite and the shuttle would launch.
The six second delay was necessary because the main engine ignition would rock the "stack" or the entire assembly of the shuttle, fuel tank and boosters forward. It took 6 seconds for the stack to return to the upright position.
This 6 second period of sway was referred to as "twang."
Figured I'd pass that little bit of info on to you in case you're ever asked about twang on a radio quiz show.
Today i learned the water used during a launch is used to dampen sound waves.
Award winning teacher Kerstin Westcott's resignation speech
Former Washington Middle School teacher Kerstin Westcott resigned in front of the school board after detailing incidents of violence, abuse, and fear for the safety of students and staff.
Westcott goes on to detail the following incidents that happened during the 2016-2017 school year:
-"Student set 3 fires in the bathrooms-we were never evacuated"
-"[Redacted] was kicked in the face during a fight and his glasses were broken"
-"Drugs and cigarettes have been both sold and used in and around the school"
-"So many fights that students have started arming themselves with weapons (including brass knuckles, knives, a large stick, and a lock) with which to fight"
-"Student jumped and beaten to the ground and kicked in the head and stomach repeatedly while she was down"
-"Student approached a teacher personally and said he had a gun and was going to shoot that teacher"
-"Student told staff, 'I am going to kill the teacher. I am going to get a shotgun and find out where he lives. Watch me. I am not kidding.'"
During a fight, Westcott recalls an administrator telling a teacher, "We're numb to fights around here. Is it a real fight?"
The letter says 11 percent of Washington Middle School students were in the "red zone" for behavior, meaning they had committed at least six major offenses during the school year.
Cliff notes, please.
Car pulls out of rest area without looking
That rest stop is very poorly designed. An on-ramp onto a freeway should be long enough to give merging traffic enough distance to accelerate to the speed of traffic on the freeway. Also, there should be signage to indicate there might be merging traffic.
To me, this looks very much a case of poor driving all around. The truck driver obviously wasn't paying attention to the on-ramp. He had six seconds to react and did nothing to avoid a collision for five of them. I imagine the letter of the law says that it's the merging car's responsibility to merge safely, but if you're driving in the outside lane past an on-ramp, you ought to be watching for merging traffic. Just having the right-of-way doesn't excuse you from being vigilant about avoiding accidents.

You mean cops doing their job.. Yep I support. ( Are there some bad apples Yep - like any group)

Ferguson's own "gentle giant" Michael Brown , Innocent young man. BS he got every price of lead he deserved.
A poem I found about this man.
There once was a Punk named brown,
Who bum-rushed a Cop with a frown.
Six rounds later, he met his Creator,
Who sent him to Hell in the ground.
... except when government employees murder Bad People, like foreigners, non-whites, or too poor to afford a good lawyer... right, Bob?
2 Convicted of rape. One gets 6 months the other 15 years
Wonder why the video says he was facing up to 14 years for the 3 charges. The prosecutor (from what i read) wanted six years.
Turner, 3 cases of felony sex assault for one act. It seems the prosecutor was asking for more than the max....
Felony Sexual Battery: This has a range of punishments. The defendant could receive a term of imprisonment in county jail for up to 1 year and a fine of up to $2,000. However, California state laws also allows for imprisonment for 2, 3, or 4 years as well as a fine of up to $10,000.
Keep in mind, different states have different laws and sentences.

Planned Parenthood helped abort SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND FETUSES LAST YEAR. The NRA killed no one. Sleep on that.

VENOM Official Trailer (2018) Tom Hardy Superhero Movie HD
So, when Sony made their deal to hand over the film rights to Spider-Man, they retained the villains? Heh, I guess they nearly have enough to make a Sinister Six movie and try to reproduce the magic of Suicide Squad.
Woah. . . I just did some googling and not only was Sony planning a Sinister Six movie, but Suicide Squad was profitable. fml
Largest Turboprop in the world Antonov AN 22 Manchester
A few years ago I had lunch at a restaurant with my extended family for some event (can't recall specifically), and as we were standing around talking in the parking lot afterwards, the AN-225 flew over us. We were pretty close to the airport and it was either landing or taking off, so it was quite low to the ground and surprised the hell out of us. We didn't have the slightest idea what it was, but the configurations of the landing gears and six jets made it clear it was damned unusual. Found out later that the beast was one-of-a-kind and a bunch of people were at the airport watching for it, which made it clear how lucky we were to randomly catch that.
I had no idea there was a propeller-based counterpart. I don't know enough about aerodynamics to understand how stacking the propellers like that makes any sense, so I'm just going to assume it's some sort of Soviet technomagic.
Should I Be Concerned?
That's gotta be either Aeroflot, Iceland Air or Easy Jet.
Oh, wait, you're actually flying somewhere so it can't be Iceland "Thanks for the six-hour wait in Amsterdam, you fuckers!" Air.

Politico has a long piece on Boehner. It includes this little gem:
So the Grand Bargain was pretty much a done deal between Obama and Boehner.
Think about it: Bubba's plan to cut Social Security was foiled by Lewinsky, and Barry's plan to cut Social Security was foiled by the "Gang of Six". True Champions of the Plebs, both of them.
Senator Jeff Flake's Retirement Speech-Short Version
"Indecency of our discourse"... his voting record is as indecent as it gets. And that includes his vote to shred the CFPB's arbitration rule six(!) hours after this speech. Same for Corker. As much as they seem to be aghast at what a dumpster fire the current administration is, they sure don't have mixed emotions about getting in line when it's time to cast a vote.
Real champions of the common folk, these two.
