WOW==> US congresswoman @JackieSpeier (D-CA) tells Chuck Todd: “there is about 15 million dollars that has been paid out by the House on behalf of harassers in the last 10-15 years” to settle sexual harassment claims… by the way that is US taxpayer money that was used!

Today is the 131st anniversary of the hole punch. Google has a doodle up for that today.

Here in Nebraska, Jane Raybould is an Omaha Democrat running to try and take Senator Deb Fischer’s seat.

She put out a campaign E-mail today condemning Deb Fischer for supporting Roy Moore in Alabama. (She also says she is splitting off part of her campaign fund to help Doug Jones, and is encouraging Democrats here to do the same.)

That’s a lot of payouts. “Between 1997 and 2014, a little known Congressional fund paid out $15.2 million to 235 people who made sexual harassment claims in Congress.” https://t.co/VGJIpPCXlf

Jane Raybould is an Omaha Democrat running to unseat Senator Deb Fischer next year.

She just sent out an E-mail fundraiser condemning Roy Moore, and Deb Fischer for supporting him.

She notes she will split off part of her campaign fund to help Doug Jones in Alabama, and encouraged Nebraska Democrats to kick in to Mr. Jones’s campaign as well.

‘Why aren’t the other hands up?’ A top Trump adviser’s startling response to CEOs not doing what he’d expect

President Trump’s top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, looked out from the stage at a sea of CEOs and top executives in the audience Tuesday for the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council meeting. As Cohn sat comfortably onstage, a Journal editor asked the crowd to raise their hands if their company plans to invest more if the tax reform bill passes.

Very few hands went up.

Cohn looked surprised. “Why aren’t the other hands up?” he said.

Just listened to “Find the Cost of Freedom” and in the lyrics:

Daylight again, following me to bed
I think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bled
I think I see a valley, covered with bones in blue
All the brave soldiers that cannot get older been askin’ after you
Hear the past a callin’, from armegeddon’s side
When everyone’s talkin’ and no one is listenin’, how can we decide?

It occurs to me that when they came out with the song, it was 100 plus a few years since the Civil War.

And now, we’re solidly 100 years within the time of WWI.

Founder of Florida’s biggest megachurch accused of molesting a 4-year-old girl

Pastor Robert Coy, the former Las Vegas casino entertainment director turned religious leader for one of Florida’s biggest megachurches, has been accused of molesting a 4-year-old girl.

Coy, who resigned from Calvary Chapel in April 2014 under circumstances that church leaders then called a “moral failing,” was named to police in 2015 as the man who molested the child, according to police reports first reported Tuesday in Miami New Times.

Army tube artillery nukes, 8” and 155mm, were only half that diameter. They were even louder, though (at the other end).

And the Japanese thought they could fire their battleships’ main guns as flak cannons. I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be to be in a dive bomber, staring down the barrel of an 18” cannon loaded for steel birds.

If your goal is bombarding shore fortifications and other hard targets, they’re still effective, to the point that various designs for the DD-21/ Zumwalt class/ whatever the new generation of surface craft will be have guns. But usually we want more precision than they can provide.

16”/50-caliber rifles can fire more explosive tonnage than anything except about a B-52 strike. The great thing about shipborne weaponry is sustained fire; it’s incredibly suppressive, and those 16” shells will do damage if they hit anywhere near something.

re: #75 Anymouse 🌹

SMOTI is clearly in the crosshairs here along with that Stolen Valor troll. Hoft was relying on that bullshit source and spread the bullshit story far and wide, as Hoft always seems to do without repercussion for his bullshit.

This is not the only time The Gateway Pundit, a heavily influential website in the pro-Trump infosphere, sourced an article entirely from a false claim by @Umpire43.

Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit’s owner, wrote an article in February of 2016 solely citing Umpire43, who claimed he “just got a robocall from a Nazi group and they made a mistake.”

Lewis claimed he was “able to track (the call) to ‘Conservative Solutions Pac’ THAT IS A RUBIO PAC.”

Hoft is a notorious disinformation peddler on the far-right. The Gateway Pundit has framed three separate people for terror attacks in 2017 alone, frequently citing a single tweet by deleted Twitter accounts to blame uninvolved far-left groups.

Hoft claimed the Charlottesville car attack on a Michigan man who was attending a wedding thousands of miles away, and labeled him an “anti-Trump protester.”

In January, Hoft posted a photo of an entirely different person with the name Esteban Santiago after someone with the same name shot 13 people and left five dead Ft. Lauderdale’s airport.

He also claimed CNN aired a lightened photo of the man Hoft and InfoWars host Paul Joseph Watson misidentified as the Ft. Lauderdale shooter, citing a single tweet by a deleted Twitter account. CNN did not air a photo of the misidentified man, let alone lighten his skin tone.

Hoft also misidentified the Las Vegas shooter hours after the terror attack, citing an anonymous 4chan post. Gateway Pundit identified the man as a Democrat, then deleted the post entirely.

Hoft did not respond to a request for comment at press time.

***

In this way, Hoft and Umpire43 are alike. Even amongst far-right websites and forums, @Umpire43 was a known pusher of fabricated information.

It still doesn’t stop Trump from relying on these right wing agitprop sites, or from Hoft having a shit-ton of influence despite being nothing but a liar and bullshit artist.

Mostly it was related to cost. Sure, we could fill their firepower gap with Tomahawk missiles, or a fleet of cruisers with 5” deck guns, but both options turned out to be much more expensive than the cost of maintenance of a 50-year-old battleship. In the end, the rise of relatively cheap and effective tactical air power (here’s looking at you, A-10 and F/A-18) is really what spelled the demise of the close-fire-support battleship.

re: #98 freetoken

The Iowa class was developed at the same time the rise of the aircraft carrier (Essex class) during WWII. Battleships quickly turned from being the lords of the sea to being support ships to protect the carriers with their guns, along with the ability to do shore bombardments. They quickly became obsolete in doing the mission intended - going after other surface combatants like battleships and enemy carriers.

After WWII, they were mothballed and then returned to service to do more of the same during Korea and then Vietnam - amphibious assault prep, shore/inland bombarbments, and carrier protection missions.

Each passing year saw less of a reason to keep the ships. By the time Reagan came, the ships were meant to be scrapped, and he brought it back and even contemplated shifting them into missile platforms.

But it’s the fact that missiles could go much further with even greater accuracy that meant that the Iowa class was obsolete. Who would need to have a surface ship firing rounds 20-40 miles (or let’s say even 50 miles inland) when you could fire a Tomahawk 200 miles or 1,500 miles. Only downside is that each missile costs a couple million dollars as compared to few thousands of dollars per Iowa shell round.

Of course, with railguns coming into service in the next few years, we’ll see longer range and lower cost than the Tomahawks.

There was still a sad decency that separated him from the Class of 2007. He was one that got away.

We tried. We really did. In the end, like the rest, he chose party over sanity, and jumped off the cliff with the rest of the lemmings. I liked Dark. I still can’t bring myself to say “fuck him” because, wingnut though he be, he tried for a long time to resist the call of the derp side.

Shiplord Kirel’s link to the Death of Christianity in the US article in Baptist News Global from the previous thread is worth a repost.baptistnews.com

It concludes well:

The Evangelicals’ Jesus is satanic, and those who hustle this demon are “false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve” (2 Cor. 11:13-15, NIV).

You might wonder if my condemnation is too harsh. It is not, for the Spirit of the Lord has convicted me to shout from the mountaintop how God’s precious children are being devoured by the hatred and bigotry of those who have positioned themselves as the voice of God in America.

As a young man, I walked down the sawdust aisle at a Southern Baptist church and gave my heart to Jesus. Besides offering my broken heart, I also gave my mind to understanding God, and my arm to procuring God’s call for justice. I have always considered myself to be an evangelical, but I can no longer allow my name to be tarnished by that political party masquerading as Christian. Like many women and men of good will who still struggle to believe, but not in the evangelical political agenda, I too no longer want or wish to be associated with an ideology responsible for tearing humanity apart. But if you, dear reader, still cling to a hate-mongering ideology, may I humbly suggest you get saved.

It concludes well:

Thanks. I facebooked that. I think someone else had posted one of the other articles, but I’m going to put it here. It’s about the church shootings and our desire to be safe:

Looking for security at church? That’s what got us into this mess.

In our grief and fear it is natural for us to desire security, but before we move too quickly to security, let’s stop for a moment and remember that security is what got us here. We asked for security and the military industrial complex that feeds the Pentagon’s demand for efficient killing machines infected our society with military grade weapons. We demanded these weapons of war for our security abroad and they are now in our cities and our homes. We have militarized our police forces and our neighborhoods. Now there are more guns than human beings in America today because of our concern for security. Security is what got us into this mess in the first place and I’m not sure increased concern for security is going to get us out of it.

There is no security plan that will save us from an AR-15 assault rifle. There is no security plan that could have prevented that tragedy in Las Vegas or Texas. The real problem we face is not security but gun violence. Since 1968, 1.5 million people have been killed by guns in America, more than all the wars in American history combined. Since 1980, almost twice as many people have been killed by guns in America than have died from AIDS. Gun violence is a public health crisis and an epidemic on par with war and AIDS. It is a uniquely American epidemic and we must do something about it. We must find the strength to change, but the change we need is not in the level of security at houses of worship. The change we need is a change in the way we think about guns.

If we want true security, we must not fall victim to the fear that calls for false measures of security which don’t really make us safer but simply assuage our anxieties and ignore the real problem. We must reject all forms of false security and work for true security.

Let’s discuss true security. True security is a world without automatic weapons. True security is world without domestic violence. True security is a world without toxic masculinity and patriarchy. True security is a world without homophobia. True security is a world without white supremacy and racism. True security is a world without hatred, dehumanization and oppression. True security is a world without economic disparity. True security is a world without politicians in the pocket of the NRA.

When he said he would never vote for Trump and then disappeared it was pretty telling what he was gonna do. That selling of his own soul probably made him realize he no longer fit in around here. I have no respect for someone going against their own word.

He was a lonely and sad guy who desperately wanted to belong to a team. He was conflicted, however, by the two teams in his life - Republicans and LGF. He didn’t like to think too hard about any particular idea or concept, and that got him in trouble here a lot, since he didn’t expect to be challenged on wingnut dogma, but unlike more hardcore wingnuts he would withdraw and shrink away, rather than doubling down and yelling louder. But he was happiest when he felt he was clearly part of the team here, such as when external enemies were being attacked, such as the stalker blog or CCJ.

In the end, LGF became less friendly to Republicans as a whole, mostly because the country’s politics demanded that choice of Republicans - accept more and more extreme positions, support more and more deranged individuals, or you’re with the liberals and hate America. The Conservative cult bet that most Republicans, properly indoctrinated, would stay with their team even if it meant personal pain and supporting blatant evil, and they were right. In the end, DF couldn’t bring himself to give up Team Republican, either because it offered more emotional reinforcement, or because it didn’t ask hard questions and gave you the comfort of hating liberals and not having to worry about ethics or morals.

But many people were talking about Moore, a Southern Baptist, member of Gallant First Baptist Church and U.S. Senate candidate who is the subject of intense national conversation after allegations from five women that he targeted them for romantic and sexual advances when they were teenagers and he was a county prosecutor in his thirties.

“romantic and sexual advances.” Perving on young teenage girls is not “romance,” speaking from my professional capacity as a Romance novel editor. It is sexual harassment/assault.

So, did Democrats have a whisper campaign and a TARDIS to go back to 2002 to put all this in motion, or did media know Moore was a sleazy sex predator who couldn’t be trusted. It’s the latter. It’s always been the latter. https://t.co/GXU5Kha2Dg

The right wing has lost their fucking minds, and Fox News is the medium by which they’ve misinformed and lied to their viewers for a generation. Those actions have consequences.

So, while right wingers continue defending Moore, claiming this is all a setup or conspiracy, it turns out that all the signals were there that Moore was up to no good had anyone actually dug deeper or believed any of the women who were coming forward at the time to warn of Moore’s actions.

Now, we’ve got Shep Smith taking on Hannity’s bullshit and Fox viewers are besides themselves because they trust Hannity over an actual reporter/journalist. This is where we are with Fox. They’ve weaponized agitprop to the point where millions of people simply can’t think for themselves or understand the issues. It’s all besides the point because Fox doesn’t want you to think or understand.

They simply want you to be misinformed because it’s easier to manipulate a misinformed public into doing the right wing agenda than an educated public.

They were also “rattled” when they were asked to denounce white supremacy a few months ago. They had ignored the resolution, had adjourned the convention and were on their way home when the news broke that they had failed to address the matter. It was only then that they went back and voted for a revised version of the resolution. They can be as “rattled” as they want to be, but based on their past actions, they’re still cowards.

Yup.

In 2000, Carter severed his membership with the Southern Baptist Convention, saying the group’s doctrines did not align with his Christian beliefs. In April 2006, Carter, former President Bill Clinton, and Mercer University President Bill Underwood initiated the New Baptist Covenant. The broadly inclusive movement seeks to unite Baptists of all races, cultures and convention affiliations. Eighteen Baptist leaders representing more than 20 million Baptists across North America backed the group as an alternative to the Southern Baptist Convention. The group held its first meeting in Atlanta, January 30 through February 1, 2008.

After listening to her, I am infuriated beyond words at the complicity of the Republican party in this continuing treason by Trump, Tillerson, and other members of the Trump family and cabinet.

It’s not even a demand letter. It’s a baseless and empty threat, because the reporting thus far appears impeccable and well sourced.

It’s all about the intent to silence the local media outlets who were largely ambivalent to these kinds of claims against Moore for decades and only got interested once the national media outlets began digging into the dirt. If you silence the local media, Moore thinks he can withstand the claims and win the Senate seat.

He’s counting on AL voters being more interested in supporting a Republican than voting against a pedophile and sex predator. To the AL GOP, it’s more important to vote party over anyone who is a Democrat, even when your GOP candidate is a pedophile and sex predator.

There’s so much bullshit coming from sites like Gateway Pundit, it’s actually kind of pointless to try to refute it. The people reading and feeding on this rancid garbage couldn’t care less about refutations— in fact, the more liberals work to refute their crap, the more they enjoy it and the more popular sites like Gateway Pundit become.

That is shown by the Fox people wanting to turn off Shep Smith. He tries to give them some actual facts and they get pissed. That want the confirmation news that confirms their suspicions and hate. There can be absolutely nothing positive said about any Democrat. Now we see they can’t even abide some of the Republicans.

And as the Snopes article notes, Doug Jones was cutting law classes at the time to watch the trial that Mr. Baxley prosecuted against the ringleader of the 16th St. Church bombing. It was that inspiration that caused Mr. Jones to go after the remaining murders.

So Jones fights racism and doesn’t molest 14 year old school girls.

Yes, contraceptive use for married people.

After listening to the Roy Moore quote on “creating new rights in 1965”, I think it makes sense that he was referring to the Griswold decision. These fundamentalist Christians are as opposed to contraception as they are to abortion. They are all in on the government regulating private consensual behavior between adults, even those who are married to each other.

I think it’s even more base than that. 1965 saw passage of the VRA and CRA.

Those established and protected rights for minorities.

They further expanded the rights previously granted under the 13-15th Amendments.

And many in the South still see that as a grievance that must be undone.

Wasn’t the Griswold decision only about legalizing contraception? Race wasn’t an issue there.

IIRC, Griswold was about privacy.

For segregationists, any choice they have made has been so that they can divide people off to their side in order to keep oppressing minorities. Sure, you might think you’re protecting the unborn, but they’re going to vote to hurt blacks, and tell you “just one more election.”

This is a sort of diary that a local artist kept during the days after the hurricane:

Hey seeing you and the reminder about hurricanes triggered a thought. I finally heard about my friend on Vieques. Not directly but through other friends.

She said the island is a total disaster, but she is staying to help out at the doggie shelter and her own dogs. She does some work at some kind of a resort on the other side of the mountain where she stays. If I remember correctly, the guy who designed it made it hurricane proof. I guess it stood the test. Also, her communications are a mess. I’m just glad she is okay. She is a tough gal. Just what you would expect from an artist, Dead Head, Democrat Puerto Rican!

“That is shown by the Fox people wanting to turn off Shep Smith. He tries to give them some actual facts and they get pissed. That want the confirmation news that confirms their suspicions and hate.”

There are quite a few right-wingers who are upset with Shep. A common theme in the tweets I read was that they tune into Fox to hear unbiased news reporting. I kid you not. Shep told them the truth, and they’re rejecting it because they’re used to being lied to and have become accustomed to being fed baseless conspiracy theories and propaganda that leads them to believe BS. I suspect that deep down within themselves they know DT is a failed leader and could be trouble in regard to Mueller’s investigation, so they are looking for anything to remove the focus from him. They chose poorly when they voted for him, and nothing is going to change that. Most of the sane people in the world know that DT ain’t sh*t. They can keep polishing that turd, but that won’t transform it into a piece of fine chocolate.

“Keyes ran for President of the United States in 1996, 2000, and 2008. He was the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Maryland against Paul Sarbanes in 1988 and Barbara Mikulski in 1992, as well as in Illinois against Barack Obama in 2004. Keyes lost all three elections by wide margins.”

Joy Reid had the Rev. Dr. Barber on and he thought this was all a play on civil and voting rights bills of ‘64 and ‘65 and a nod to the Alabama fundie religious racists. “Those” people and the ungodly Democrats and Immigrants are out to kill off Republicans don’t you know and it starts by taking down Roy Moore.

I did hear most of that interview (house chores sometimes come first) but I don’t really think that was Moore’s point. His previous remark referenced another Supreme Court decision. In the clip, he was not discussing laws passed by Congress but Supreme Court rulings that created rights out of nothing.

He’s a frigging kook. The family I knew that supported him looked down on mine because we didn’t wear Christianity on our sleeves.

re: #346 whitebeach

All of our timers are ticking down, bear, including yours. And I’m several years past 68, so I’m having a little trouble seeing how you’re not running a stereotype.

I’m 63 and I didn’t feel ageist about posting it because I know that all of us oldsters know that we are living on a limited number of years. I don’t feel any need to treat that as an unmentionable fact.

I’m also making the point that it’s the AVERAGE age of Fox viewers. I think if you looked at the average age for any other network new shows, it would be 10-20 years younger.

Australia?

Absolutely no answer to your question in regards to the Moore escape to Australia - but if you would like some relief from US politics, Australian politics at the moment is in the laugh or cry category.

Politicians are being thrown out of parliament basically because they have been found to be dual citizens of Australia and one other country (illegal under the constitution) & in the latest episode of this saga a replacement for one of these folks in the Senate may be ineligible because she worked for the Federal government after losing the election to the ineligible person. (To be eligible for election you cannot be working for the Federal government).

And the same sex marriage vote is advisory only - however legislation will probably be introduced. Tony Abbott who is a resounding NO vote represents an electorate which went 80% YES, while a number of members who are big YES voters come from electorates where the vote was a resounding NO.

The “advisory” vote was expensive, rather pointless, matched the opinion polls and appears to have no impact on how MPs will vote.

I read the letter and in my humble legal opinion it is a transparent pathetic scare tactic. I would advise a client to not worry and ignore it and if it was addressed to me I would laugh at it. It is pure bluster with no legal legal leg to stand on. They went after a local paper in the hope of intimidating them.
