    @jon-nyc said in Fantastic summary of what Russia has lost: @Jolly said in Fantastic summary of what Russia has lost: Some decent points, but From is a war-mongering neocon and I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. Sad, because I used to like some of his stuff. That’s kind of ironic because his peak neo-con shill moment was boosting a foreign adventure that you supported. Still do. Next.

    @George-K said in Crappy Chicago Architecture: @mark said in Crappy Chicago Architecture: #4 is just laughable. It actually looks like a bad photoshop job. I think you're right. It's Harold and Kumar's house.

    Kalus McCleod, the thickly muscled claymore wielding Nordic warrior in a kilt. TG, shame on you for picturing that. Klaus is not an object.

    Our excise tax on cars is $25 per $1000 of it's value. A bit of a nasty surprise this year.

    @Horace said in For the antibody testers among us: Oddly “mixing and matching together” seems to go better with “are good” rather than “is good”. But the “together” should indicate you are treating them as a single system of actions. Which you are. But they're still separate actions.

    Jazz singers are a necessary evil that are brought into the band so that people will turn up to listen to the rest of the musicians playing their solos.

    @taiwan_girl said in Bruce Willis suffering from aphasia.: @George-K Does the sickness effect only communication, or also the ability of the brain to think? Mostly just communication, though if the damage is severe, of course it can affect cognition. Broca's and Wernicke's areas are close enough to the frontal lobe that a tumor, or trauma could affect thinking. However, usually it's just communication, which is terribly frustrating for these patients.

    A case of an “activist judge” not only overriding the policy of the executive branch but also booting the lawfully elected officials in the executive branch, eh?

    Yeah, it's Mollie Hemingway, but here's what was done to Kavanaugh BEFORE the Blasey-Ford accusation surfaced: Supporters of Kavanaugh being called “complicit in evil” by Sen. Cory Booker soon after he was nominated. ProPublica trying to concoct a “scandal” about Kavanaugh’s baseball tickets with a far-ranging search for information about his habits at baseball games. Teen Vogue columnist Lauren Duca saying during a “Rise Up for Roe” speaking tour that “textualist originalist” is just code for “white supremacist patriarchy.” That might be news to Judge Jackson, who described her own approach to legal interpretation in terms of text and original meaning. The press sending public information requests to the town of Chevy Chase, where Kavanaugh’s wife Ashley worked, seeking her emails on the Chevy Chase township board. Democratic senators actually refusing to meet with Kavanaugh until over a month after his nomination was announced. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell met with Jackson less than a week after she was nominated. Then Minority Leader Chuck Schumer claiming that keeping any documents from Kavanaugh’s time working at the White House confidential for only Judiciary Committee members viewing them was “bogus.” Democrats this time around refused to even seek documents from Jackson’s time serving on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, let alone to delay the process to allow their production. Protesters conveying their extreme disrespect for the nominee by dressing like handmaids in red gowns and white bonnets — and others including a man dressed as a giant condom who were no better. Interruptions — by senators themselves — from the moment the hearing opened as part of an orchestrated plan to delegitimize the hearings, starting with Sen. Kamala Harris. It took nearly an hour and a half for Chairman Chuck Grassley to finish his ten-minute statement. By the first lunch break, there had been 63 interruptions. Sen. Durbin’s ten-minute opening remarks took a whopping ten minutes, with zero interruptions. Protesters funded by Planned Parenthood and other dark-money groups standing up and shouting and getting dragged out by police every few minutes, with arrests totaling over 200 by the end. An online furor accusing former White House staffer Zina Bash of trying to transmit a “white power” symbol when her hand appeared to make the “OK” sign. Sen. Patrick Leahy accusing Kavanaugh of perjury by performing ridiculous linguistic gymnastics. Harris kicking off her presidential campaign by trying to trap Kavanaugh with Perry Mason–like questions about whether he had discussions with employees of Kasowitz, Benson, and Torres. Whatever she thought she was driving at, her questions were barely intelligible, and it turned out there was no there, there. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse holding up signs touting his conspiracy theories about conservative groups and trying to probe any connection between Kavanaugh and the Federalist Society, which fell flat given the fact that every sitting Supreme Court justice, and even Senator Whitehouse himself, had at some point spoken at Federalist Society events. Sen. Booker’s stunt trying to break rules to leak confidential documents that would make him a martyr to (as it turned out) non-existent Republican pushback on his disclosure requests. Booker compared himself to Spartacus, and the materials he released simply showed Kavanaugh giving reasonable advice in support of positions Booker himself believed in. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg noting that the nomination process was “a highly partisan show” and that we should go back to how things were.
