DC Tom

It's a trivial leap from kids determining their own gender to kids being able to consent. But then, we've seen redefinition of "consent," too.

Judge can't override federal criminal procedure and 28 USC 1867. Again, do your research. It's not me saying it. The law says it. The courts can't order a person to do an illegal thing.

The law says the grand jury testimony is secret. Not the Republicans.

Jesus...I didn't like her before the internet even existed. I don't need a dark web to tell me she's human scum.

BUT THERE'S AN EMPIRICAL CONSENSUS!!!!!!!

Welp...McCabe's dead.

You could do the same research I did. Read the House rules of parliamentary procedure, tell me what the impeachment procedures are, and how they're being followed. They don't think that way. Congress is just an advocacy group to them, with no real power. They're not capable of understanding that anyone could perceive a House Democrat would be a threat to Trump...only another executive candidate could threaten him. That's why they're pursuing a coup, and not exercising true checks and balances. Only another executive can challenge his power.

There's no evidence, and no process.

I was gambling in Havana, I took a little riskSend lawyers, guns, and money, Dad, get me out of this!

He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom. Excitable boy, they all said. And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home. Excitable boy, they all said Well, he's just an excitable boy. After ten long years they let him out of the home. Excitable boy, they all said. And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones. Excitable boy, they all said.

You're asking seven year olds if seven year olds should be given adult rights?

That still makes me laugh out loud. I can still remember not even 5 years ago when you were almost as rabid a Democrat as anyone on this board. Your turn from the Democratic Party still amazes me sometimes. I mean, agree or disagree with you, the one thing no one should accuse you of here is being any sort of party apparatchik. You think for yourself. You may not do it well, but you definitely think for yourself.

I see no reason to listen to his remarks any more. He's got something like a 300 word vocabulary, and at this point this verbose ***** has put all 300 words he knows together in every possible combination. There's no way he can possibly say anything truly new.

If they're smart, they'll try to assassinate Warren or Biden next. I mean...their first inclination has to be to assassinate Trump, or Pence, or Barr. But that would be a "Reichstag fire" moment, and counter-productive. Killing off a Democratic front-runner will distract from the Barr/Durham investigation, and they can find a way to blame Trump for it, and it would probably cement the election for whichever Democrat wins the primaries, particularly if they can blame a white supremacist. Probably Warren, so they get the misogyny angle too. Then Hillary steps in "because as a government official of almost thirty years, despite my reluctance I feel it is my solemn duty to once again serve mysel- er, my country in this time of grave crisis."

I was going to say, Forrestal wasn't corrupt. But he did work with John McCain I. And John McCain III caused the fire on the USS Forrestal. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!

Doesn't McCabe work for CNN now? Did CNN just interview CNN?

So by Monday the Democrats will support a complete troop withdrawal from Syria, and accuse Trump of wanting to start a war with Russia?

Pelosi's been a terrible speaker ever since she went to Syria to pursue a completely separate Congressional foreign policy with Assad.

Chuck Todd didn't even go into his usual TDS rant this morning on the radio. Just pointed out that, to an outside observer, the US government looks like it's at war with itself. To which I could only think "Yeah, some of us have known this for three years now."

The person who told me not to spit in the face of the gift pizza horse had no such excuse.

This is witness intimidation.

That's the best mixed metaphor I've heard since "Don't spit in the face of the gift pizza horse."

They forgot power is nothing if you can't wield it. Or, in other words: Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

Likely not. Realistically, the amount of power a wind turbine would draw off a wind front would be negligible compared to the power of the wind front itself. Interestingly, I can't even find any data on "what is the power of a gust of wind?" So I can't even begin to approximate it. Could probably figure it out from first principles (largest turbine in the world is 164m across, and generates 9.5 MW of power. Assume a 50 kph wind, calculate the power of that wind over a 21,100 square meter front over an hour. Divide 9.5 MW by that number. That's the upper limit for the percent of energy lost by the wind to power generation. And in reality, it'll be a fraction of that, because wind is not that localized. A wind front is measured in tens of thousands of square kilometers, so the above calculation is high by a factor of...about a hundred thousand, give or take a factor of 10? There's a "butterfly effect," sure, but not a directly measurable influence under anything but strictly local (i.e. within a couple hundred feet of the turbine) measurement.

I confess, I didn't. I'm a bit busy today telling real-life idiots they're real-life idiots.
