While Trump is talking so kindly about Putin, on the other side of the globe...
In Russia, only 26 percent of those surveyed voiced a favorable opinion of the U.S., a drop from 41 percent in 2017, and just 19 percent Russians have a positive view of Trump
This is from a Pew poll.
@JayHawkFanToo I see now. It's quoting Howard Walsh, the attorney. :thumbsup:
Patrick Mahomes is Steph Curry.
@JayHawkFanToo i read the report. I have to say, it is a pretty clear indictment of Rachel Mitchell as a hack.
This quote bothers me a lot, I'm a stickler for quotes actually being quotes. And unless Leland Keyser talks about herself in the third person, this is not accurate:
All three named eyewitnesses have submitted statements to the Committee denying any memory of the party whatsoever. Most relevantly, in her first statement to the Committee, Ms. Keyser stated through counsel that, “[s]imply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford.” In a subsequent statement to the Committee through counsel, Ms. Keyser said that “the simple and unchangeable truth is that she is unable to corroborate [Dr. Ford’s allegations] because she has no recollection of the incident in question.”
Who is saying "simply put" here, the person being quoted or the person pretending to give an impartial report?
When you don't conduct an investigation you almost certainly will not have sufficient evidence. To say that you don't have enough to prosecute is frankly, stupid and pointless even if you qualify it, because you know this isn't a criminal trial.
Her bosses were not interested in an impartial truth, they were looking for a hack job by a woman who they could pretend was doing things by the book. And they got exactly the show they paid for.
@mayjay haha thanks
Why does Mahomes have a dude hanging on his collar when he shakes hands? Nobody else has a guy hanging on him.
Game over!
Nice pass rush. Fast.
Need a stop here.
Stay on your feet man!
This is the first time I've gotten to watch Mahomes. He is not disappointing!
What a great pick that was! Looked like a sure thing reception.
Thanks guys!
He's a big healthy boy!
Is this still happening? I thought it had to do with having to restart nginx after my config changes, which I just did. The problem would have been that http wasnt redirecting to https, which it should be now. Try to go to / vs / vs / ... latter two should redirect to / and all should work.
Guys, for those who may have been unable to access the board today, I'm sorry. I learned in the middle of the day that people hitting http instead of https were not getting the correct redirect to https. I think I did not restart nginx after my config changes last night, and today my third kid came into the world! So I wasn't able to restart nginx until now. I think we should be straight. If in the future you can't access the site, if you hit up the kubuckets slack site and I should or one of the other guys on here should get a notification and hopefully help out (thanks @bskeet)
@BShark can you throw a link to this?
ok done.
Going to update the SSL in a few minutes. Board will go down briefly.
@DoubleDD Most of us did some things as kids that were regrettable. Some of us did things that were extremely regrettable. Some of us were never held accountable for these actions. And some of us lie about those things now, and attack others in order to get what we want, instead of making amends.
This is not primarily about the past. It is about what kind of man Brett Kavanaugh is when confronted with his past. If he said he was a stupid high school kid, and he's not that kind of man any more, I might not like it, but it would be a lot more acceptable than using the Deny Deny Deny playbook and being belligerent in answering Senators.
Cold open from SNL was pretty good yesterday
DoubleDD said:
Kavanaugh has a track record that is pretty impressive. There is a saying That a person shall bear the their fruit. How can Kavanaugh be such a serial rapist for a couple years. Yet spend the rest of his life being a champion for women's rights? Doesn't add up.
Did Bill Cosby add up?
Your link is about women who have never met Kavanaugh and proved what?
It's more like this piece:

@BShark :+1: good man I'll go abbreviate mine
@BShark alright maybe it wasn't civil. Dropping the F Bomb. Unfortunately I feel :100: how you do. So we both aren't very civil right now, possibly.
@DoubleDD no, I don't know that. I do know Trump is banking on that happening. Says he doesn't need a backup plan for Kavanaugh. Meanwhile shutting Swednick out of the investigation, which is absurd. Let the FBI determine whether Swednick is credible. Not for Trump to say.
That's what the investigation is for, to review the evidence.
@DoubleDD I never said he was guilty. I said the Republicans almost screwed up by not allowing the investigation to happen, as I believe we should know as much as we can from an impartial third party. I also think that when the ABA calls for an investigation you should listen. No, I dont believe garbage about the FBI being biased.
Trump is limiting the scope of the investigation, not allowing Swednick to be interviewed and not allowing the investigation to look at discrepancies in Kavanaughs story about not drinking heavily.
I also don't like how Kavanaugh acts; I think he acts like a d-bag, and I don't understand why this guy is the best we could find.
@DoubleDD also, when you say "found guilty" I'm afraid you've fallen for the innocent until guilty BS the Republicans are peddling. This isn't a criminal trial. I can't stress that enough. This is selecting a Supreme Court Justice. Someone whose history should be Sterling, beyond reproach, not someone who acts like an entitled child when testifying before Senate, or pretends that he was of drinking age when he wasn't, and pretends like he didn't drink heavily when he clearly did. Just tell the truth.
@DoubleDD Right, because all three are liars working for deep state Democrats. Because that's logical.
@DoubleDD or three women.. you know, whatever, details shmetails.
Maybe we should start referring to the losing side as "the simple majority minus two"
@mayjay you are correct. I misinterpreted something I had heard. :thumbsup:
@kjayhawks fwiw I think a lot of your concerns are valid. However, in the case of Kavanaugh, I don't see a person I want on the Supreme Court. And I don't think it's appropriate to try to ram this guy through simply because they think they can. I don't like the nuclear option and I think both Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid are fools for taking us there. We should be putting moderates on the bench. Not ideologues.
Moving my reply out of bball thread...
Republicans almost screwed up the Kavanaugh thing. Too eager to get this guy in. Trump has 5 other candidates in the hopper and Gorsuch took 61 days. Senate recesses for the holidays Dec 14 and assuming the Senate goes Dem, they swear in on Jan 3 right after recess. So Reps have a two week cushion window give or take before they risk having to present a more moderate candidate. Now if Kavanaugh gets two thumbs up from FBI they can say I told you so. But the alternative of ramming through a candidate with red flags was really looking dumb. The Clarence Thomas circumstances emboldened them. 20 years after Anita Hill he's still the quiet* consistent conservative on the court. But still, why back a candidate with skeletons? Surely there's someone better than Kavanaugh on the list who is equally conservative.
*= originally said "opinionless", pointed out as incorrect by Mayjay
@jayballer73 have some people gone after you for your grammar? sure. I've been on your side when I see that. This is different; this is about making it easier for people to read at a glance. It's formatting that is specific to how the board works, and not obvious. Nobody thinks any less of you for not formatting your lists. JayhawkFanToo was just suggesting how to get the formatting right, and his suggestions were correct.
To answer your questions, when you post those lists, yeah I can read it, but do I struggle? Would it be a lot easier if you put the extra line breaks? Absolutely. I don't read them when I am in a rush because it takes a lot of looking back and forth to figure out where things line up. So respectfully, you're tripping on this one, and nobody is talking down to you. Work with us man, we like your lists.
@jayballer73 Please back off from the ledge and come back to us. You got people who want to understand what you have to say by helping you format your posts. This is a good thing.
@BShark In this case, I edited your post to remove the > before each line to avoid confusion when he tries to quote it.
@jayballer73 I agree with @JayHawkFanToo here and I detect no snark on his part, just an attempt to be helpful. I find these posts very difficult to read as well. His suggestions are on the money.
The dash would be at the beginning not end of the sentence.
"- test" like that, except without the quotes... yield this...
- test
Also, he's saying if you hit enter twice after each sentence...
...It will break it up
Mind giving it another shot?
Remember when Udoka accidently destroyed Tucker Vang with an unintended punch? I'm worried he's going to accidentally pop someone's head like a pumpkin this year.
@DanR lol
@Gorilla72 wow that's dumb.
@BShark thanks man. She's 12. Her name is CJ. My other cat was Julian. I guess we had both longer than we had their namesakes. And she has a very different disposition.
Sorry to hear your cat is on the decline too.
My second cat is dying of cancer (first died from cancer two years ago). She is the nicest creature I have ever met. F--king feline lymphoma.
Yeah .. this could get ugly.
Oh God.
Let's go! Need a score here.
