    The Supremes

    Nope. They didn't interfere with, obstruct, or impede the administration of justice and literally no one believes this will influence Kavanaugh to be more favorable to the protestor's side.
  2. Jokes on the west. That yacht needed the 30K mile maintenance still. Hahahaha suckers. Putin remains a master strategist.
  3. Almost certainly won't be any. Who the fuck knows what their reproductive systems are like? They aren't stupid enough to broadcast it to the galaxy.
  4. It is stupid as fuck to actively try to contact other species. We should be listening, but not overtly broadcasting our existence, technological capabilities and location. The Universe is over 13 billion years old. Human civilization is only ~10,000 years old and we figured out most everything we know in the last sliver of it. Any other civilization we contact is almost certainly going to be much older and have had considerably more time to advance technologically. There's no guarantee they'd even see us as sentient.
  5. It's not supposed to, but the GQP is playing Calvinball. It works however they say it does.
  6. Sorry if posted. We've seen many of the Russian tanks launching their turrets for distance and seen descriptions that the problem is their ammunition in a circle around the turret. Here's a cool graphic that shows the problem. The Russian tank commander and gunner sit on top of the ammunition. A shot through the armor here and they are going for a short trip to space. The driver is in position to be decapitated. Knock out the tank, you've knocked out the crew permanently as well.
  7. ^This. It will be GRUHorn when he switches to the next sock account. His severe lack of intellect and perspective shines through like a beacon.
  8. The petitioner asked for both discovery and for MTG to be deposed. There was the option to do both, but the judge refused. Discovery and depositions were the only chance to actually ascertain the truth. https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/08/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-candidacy-challenge-lawsuit/index.html Whether that is conventional, or not, what followed was a farce. The judge repeatedly allowed MTG to impugn the evidence this decision forced the petitioner into presenting and to not answer the questions. My understanding of court rooms is that a judge doesn't usually allow the witness to attack the integrity of the petitioner, CNN, Facebook, Twitter and/or Nancy Pelosi with extended diatribes that are clear non-responses to yes/no questions. Earlier in her testimony MTG testified that NO ONE used her Twitter account without her authorization. Later, every time she was confronted with a post/like, she claimed to have no idea who was posting/liking content. The judge told the petitioner she had answered the questions and to move on rather than allowing them to nail her with this. MTG brought up Q unprompted and disavowed believing in it. The judge did not allow the petitioner to pursue this and cut them off when they said they had a right to follow it up. The judge repeatedly refused to allow the petitioner to examine whether MTG violated her oath of office, because that's apparently not relevant. The judge did allow MTG to claim multiple times that Nancy Pelosi was a traitor, who had violated her oath of office, because that apparently is relevant. He refused to allow them to explore comments she made about citizens going to DC to take over Congress and flood the capitol in 2019, because they were too long in the past and made before she was a Congressperson. 2019 was too long ago to possibly be relevant. Those are just a few. It was bad. The reason we didn't get any answers from this hearing is because the judge didn't allow it.
  9. MTG has the same attorney Cawthorn did. He spent a significant amount of his close making this argument. He kept saying that the Amnesty Act of 1872 provided both prospective and retrospective immunity and that the Amnesty Act of 1898 confirms this was intentional by only providing retrospective immunity. Absurd.
  10. But it won't take off from the treadmill, unless the lift to drag ratio is over tree fiddy.
  11. Indeed. A difference without distinction.
  12. I don' know if I've never seen a player that reminded me of Reggie Miller before. Jabari Rice reminds me of Reggie Miller.
  13. No.
  14. It was a farce. There wasn't any discovery, depositions, or witnesses. Petitioner was reduced to submitting copies of stuff they downloaded off CNN, Youtube and Facebook. He showed them, MTG attacked them as biased sources, or of being edited to make her look worse, usually without answering the question. Judge told the Petitioner to move on.
  15. Looks like speculation we provided the intel to Ukraine that enabled them to target the Moskva was correct. The US had a P8 Poseidon flying around Romania within 100km of the Moskva in the hours before the Ukrainians lit it up. The P8 turned off the transponder several times, presumably flying out into the Black Sea. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ukraine-war-us-spy-plane-on-patrol-in-black-sea-before-sinking-of-russian-flagship-moskva-fblbg0znd
  16. Well that's shorter than Stupidcallowdipshitliaralzheimercromagnon.
  17. She did just that over and over to anything remotely incriminating all day. She didn't know anything about anything. Her memory has mysteriously gotten a lot better now that the defense is presenting. A few hours ago, she didn't remember anything about Twitter. Now she remembers very specific exonerating stuff. Described in detail how they made an "exonerating" video.
  18. Too late to edit, but here's the lyrics translated. @atomheartbevo posted them a while back.
  19. This is the best one, hands down when considering the lyrics. and speaking of artillery, the US, France and Canada are all sending a bunch of howitzers. We're sending 72 of the 155mm and 72 vehicles to tow them. Counter battery capability included. France is also sending 155mm. Don't know the caliber of Canada's, but I'd assume it's standard across NATO. We're also sending unjammable drones. We're going to get to hear this song a lot more in the next few weeks. Ukraine will finally be able to dish it back at the orcish artillery.
  20. Had just edited it. Check it now.
  21. According to the online calculators it's ~$33,000, so you could probably get 2 if they are domestics.
  22. Oh, Putin definitely isn't satisfied with only Transnistria and "Colonel" Lukashenko tipped their intent with the map he stupidly showed. You're right that Putin wants to rebuild an Empire, but it's the Russian Empire he's obsessed with. It may sound like a minor distinction, but it's not minor to Putin. The Soviet Empire had room for other ethnic groups. For example, Stalin was Georgian. Putin believes the Russian Empire should be ruled by Russians and the other ethnic groups in their vicinity should be subservient, or dead. He wants to be Tsar, not a leader of Commissars.
  23. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_military_presence_in_Transnistria They've had boots on the ground in Transnistria since 1992.
