basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body.

that’s basically fine.

if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out. 

unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.

These words scan with a fantastic degree of confidence considering that together they make no sense at all

Is there actually any evidence for the Kavanaugh accusations beyond “she said” ?

Yes, a lot of it. I think he’s very likely to be guilty of the attack on Ford and the attack on Ramirez; I think it’s more likely than not he’s guilty of the attacks Swetnick described, though I’m significantly less confident in that case. 

First, Ford:

Reminder that the right on Tumblr and elsewhere are lying through their teeth about “no evidence.”  Would this be “beyond a reasonable doubt”?  Probably not (for sexual assault; it certainly is for repeated perjury), but that is not the correct standard for lifetime court appointments.  There is a clear preponderance of the evidence.

@argumate, because you let one of your askers say this unchallenged, presumably due to not following things as closely.

Even if every accusation against Kavanaugh was totally fabricated, that would still leave us with “would this guy who, when accused of something, dodges questions by shouting and crying about how much he loves beer make a good judge?”

Cable News Chyrons Tell The Bizarre Story Of Trump’s First Year In Office

tpfnewslive:

Donald Trump has officially completed one full year as president, and holy moly what a year it’s been. You probably don’t even remember how much stuff really happened in the last year because mentally it’s felt like 20.

There are things we never imagined could happen during an American presidency. Remember “covfefe,” or when Trump indirectly called a nuclear weapon-wielding foreign dictator “short and fat,” or when Melania swatted his hand away, or when it was reported that the president needed daily briefings with a lot of pictures?

There’s no better indicator of the bizarre day-to-day developments of President Trump’s first year in office than reading the wonderful chyrons, the headline captions you see at the bottom of your screen during a news broadcast.

So rather than attempt to describe the past year, we picked out some of the best chyrons to illustrate just what a Twilight Zone-esque 365 days we’ve had.
