Nothing like Grassley clearly trying to refute allegations before Ford even testifies. Voters need to stop voting for old people with decaying minds please. I also liked him citing to FBI reports not having a whiff of the allegations against Kavanaugh and then later on quoting Biden on how useless these reports are.

Meh. The questioning of why women who were assaulted don’t come forward earlier is a dumb one that is used to downplay the seriousness of their allegations all the time. Why didn’t Sandusky’s victims come forward earlier? Nassar’s? Why do many people molestsd by priests not come forward? The bottom line is assault of a woman should not be a politicized issue. Anyone who has done that has no business being a judge, let alone on the Supreme Court.

There is documentation of her talking to her therapist and husband about this years ago and she supposedly passed a lie detector (not that I put a huge amount of weight in those). This isn’t the first time she brought this issue up. Why she is going public now is obvious, she doesn’t think someone who tried to sexually assault her should be on the Supreme Court. Not hard to understand.

I hope he maintains this and the Fangraphs stuff is really encouraging but I can't stop myself from thinking that a lot of pitchers would have a pretty good month getting two starts against the Tigers, a start against the current Twins lineup and the Rays (noting that the Yankees shelled him).

Well considering the Pope has a hand in covering up sexual abuse of children not exactly the best example.

Sadly not really since Mollie Tibbets' murderer being an illegal immigrant makes all those items a footnote for his supporters and the GOP.

The Manafort and Cohen news is going to get buried by the Mollie Tibbetts news for anyone that is a Trump supporter so none of this is going to move the needle even a little bit.

Damn, that would have been fun.

Almost positive neither are and both would almost certainly be valued more than the 1st round pick the Nationals will get if Harper signs elsewhere this offseason.

Yes, just about anywhere where there is a Catholic church this is happening. Chile is having major investigations into the church right now, a number of instances in Europe, Australia, etc.

Is there anyone amongst the Catholic Church leadership that isn’t a criminal? Shut down the entire church, it’s remarkably corrupt top to bottom.

No posts about Trump admitting that the Trump Tower/Russia meeting story he and his family has been telling this whole time was completely made up? I’m shocked that the guy who can’t do anything but lie was lying about that.

Cast was announced today too. Mark Hamill returning and they are going to use unused footage of Carrie Fisher. Not sure how that will work but will be interesting to see.

Agree on moving the car and if not taken out of context the girlfriend's statement that she has a right to park wherever she wants is absurd but at the same time that guy apparently seeks out conflicts like this and we have no idea what he was saying to the girlfriend. That guy is a raging asshole and I wouldn't be shocked if he was hoping someone was going to push him down like this so he could shoot them.

That Florida case is disgusting. Somehow if the races of the two men were reversed I don’t think the charges come out the same.

It is lotto protected. That is a great trade by OKC.

What a garbage organization. I wouldn't even ever bother engaging them in trade talks unless they were giving players away.

Trump doing exactly what Putin would want him to at every turn. Just awesome

Sure, why not.

Yeah, I won’t be watching an NBA game this year. These guys have the right to do what they want but I hope they realize how awful this is for the fans and that you will eventually make people not care about the league.

They basically have zero shot at competing this year and are banking on Leonard and another free agent next year. Of course LeBron will be 35 midway through next year so who knows how much he has left in the tank.

What a joke that they didn’t call those penalties on Russia

It is obviously way down the list of tiebreakers so it isn't the end of the world and I don't recall it coming up before but I find it really dumb that can ever play a role in who advances.

The fair play tiebreaker is so freaking stupid. I'd rather have a random draw be the decider before fair play because then teams have to play until the end rather than doing literally nothing for the last 15 minutes of the game like Japan/Poland.
