How do they propose to do that? I'm pretty sure the longest nanotube wire ever reported is under a meter long.

There's a John Ringo series, Troy Rising, that discusses things like this. It depends on an injection of alien technology.

Actually you may find it interesting. The aliens in question go nuts for maple syrup which makes them intoxicated. An earthling corners the market and uses the commodity to buy the advanced technology.

[Extraneus]

What a rude questioner. Who is she?

[Pinandpuller]

In the Bible stumbling refers to what one believer does to another. Not an unbeliever. How do you make an unbeliever stumble in their walk with The Lord?

[Extraneus]

Hawaii senator? Very rude bitch. I'll look her up now.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--According to your belief but I believe Mark 9:42 shows any so-called believer who stumbles an unbeliever through their persistent behaviors unchristian would be better off having not been born at all...--

Again, you don't seem to understand you can't proclaim yourself an unbeliever and then tell me I'm condemned by the very thing you don't believe.
And because you are almost wholly ignorant and blinded by your own ideology you unilaterally declare unchristian anything that disagrees with your entirely materialistic, earthbound, temporal, pseudo-marxist, anarcho-idiocies. You can neither condemn anyone [other than yourself] nor do you even know what does. If you did you would not be the lost, vindictive, insecure person you are.

When you're willing to embrace the whole counsel of God get back to me, little one, until then I have cast my pearls before your snout long enough.
I shake your willfully blind and deaf dust from my sandals but will continue to pray for your presently doomed soul.

Quote:

My brother is in Las Vegas, preparing our dream house.

He says that tons of blue-collar Americans call in to the shows and discuss Trump.

Whenever there was a problem, HE CAME PERSONALLY.
(21) And at the end of every project, he had a sit-down banquet for all the workers and their families.

This was the only time in their lives these people got to be wined and dined.

They LOVE Trump.

The female Hawaiian Dem Senator is hammering Kavanaugh for being colleagues with some male California Judge who has been charged by women to have been sexually harassed by that California Judge. The Hawaiian Dem, Mazie Hirono, is angry that Kavanaugh did not speak out about this way back when, while Kavanaugh says he knew nothing about any of this alleged sexual harassment.

Just for interest: Senators Elizabeth Warren, left, Mazie Hirono and Richard Blumenthal last month in Washington. Ms. Warren and Mr. Blumenthal said on Friday that they would transfer money they had received from Harvey Weinstein to charity.

Mazie is the gal in purple.

If the staffer really is senior and has concluded Trump is emotionally unfit to be POTUS, then the staffer has the duty to resign and spell out in detail his or her case.

Correct.

[GUS]

Maryrose, maybe the fat ugly TARDS drink too much milk.

[Miss Marple (the real one)]

Ignatz,

I keep checking his tweets. I will post anything new.

I doubt it is simply about the op ed. I wonder if there is evidence on selling classified military info to foreign powers who are not allies. I have long thought Hillary and others have been doing that.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--In the Bible stumbling refers to what one believer does to another. Not an unbeliever. How do you make an unbeliever stumble in their walk with The Lord?--

Shh, Pin. You'll overload Ben's circuits.

Mark 9:42 42"If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me,-to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.

After all Sessions is just a staffer

[Extraneus]

I have to turn the good Senator off, daddy. What a rude bitch. In a just society, Kavanaugh's wife would slap her right across the face.

This is the original thread from the wrapped version I posted at 6:57. I am putting the link up because some of the comments are interesting.

--So...funeral porn is over and now we’ve moved on to outrage porn?-

Unfortunately Washington DC has become Hollywood the San Fernando Valley for ugly people. :)

[daddy]

Dem Senator Mazie Hirono is neither "concerned" nor "troubled." She instead is "bothered."

I'd almost go so far as to says she is "hot and bothered" but she'd probably accuse me of sexual harassment, so I'll just stick with 'bothered."

[James D.]

In a just society, Kavanaugh's wife would slap her right across the face.

Screw that. In a just society, Kavanaugh’s wife would be able to call her out for a duel and shoot her at dawn on the Capitol lawn.

[Ralph L]

IIRC, Corsi co-wrote the Swift Boat book, so no wonder the knives are out for him.

[Demented and Cemented]

When one claims a mantle, like say..conservative then it's perfectly fine for a liberal not sharing those hallowed values to call out hypocrisy.

What manner of logic are you employing in your ridiculous responses..Trump Bluster?

If you need it broken down further take a stool softener Ignazi.

[Demented and Cemented]

Are you two scholars suggesting 'do into others as you would have them do to you'

Holy Batshit!

Tom R | September 05, 2018 at 02:51 PM

TomR, I’ve stayed out of this mostly, but this: “support a thorough investigation into all possible leads” frosts me.

One, by law, a crime had to be named in order to appoint Mueller. None ever was. Wanna riddle me why this whole thing is AOK again?

Two, why the hell would any sane person support a completey untethered prosecutor with full power and budget of the federal government running a star chamber into “all leads” of some unnamed crime, prosecuting anyone for anything at all for no reason than to coerce/extort testimony against someone who hasn’t been charged with one single, solitary thing?

You believe this is what the Constitution can and should sanction?

WTF?

[Jim Eagle]

So, a Jap, who's ancestors bombed Peal Harbor and started a war that had to end in nuclear annillilation, is questioning a guy about abortion.

[Another Bob]

Frau, that Spengler piece was the best thing I’ve read in a couple weeks. Thanks for the link.

[henry]

Just saw on Twitter that PP is funding a huge effort for the blue wave. (Must be all those tax dollars they get that will stop when the blue wave is their power circling the drain with the tidy bowl man's boat).

They are all in. They have to delay Kavanaugh, then win enough seats to ensure impeachment. Long odds. But Kavanaugh is now and forever, so I expect a huge racheting of insanity.

The left is sticking their necks out. Perhaps Trump is ready for a 2x4 across that glass jaw. Declassification is the big rumor, per Sarah Carter.

[Pinandpuller]

Heck Jack, with her heritage shouldn't she be asking him about Lawrence v Texas? Are sex dolls human?

[James D.]

So very tragic and his children are so young.

[henry]

Beasts, yes. As far as I can tell. I haven't kept close track, she may predict 47 of 3 things no one else predicted that came true. Better than most others anyway.

[Cornhole Conservative]

As to the writer’s identity. I think it’s more likely than not a politician. The author seems eager to establish their conservative bona fides by stressing free trade and foreign policy hawkishness. A friend of mine thinks the author could be a woman and they’re guess was Nikki Haley. If she spent more time in Washington, I’d agree but the author is someone with frequent access to the West Wing.

One of the more obvious suspects is Director of National Intelligence and former Indiana Senator, Dan Coats. Coats has been repeatedly been cut-off at the legs by Trump. He should have resigned long ago. If it’s you Mr. Coats, please step forward.

The weirdest possibility is Mike Pence. The op-ed’s author used the word lodestar and expressed admiration for John McCain. A guy named Dan Bloom has done some quick linguistic research and has noted that Pence has frequently used the word lodestar in speeches. He’s an unlikely candidate after spending every day since he was put on the ticket with his head up Trump’s ample rump.

In the end, it does not matter who this cowardly conservative is. If they believe that Donald Trump is mentally unstable and temperamentally incapable of doing the job, they should stand up and say so..

[Extraneus]

Well said, ABob.

I'm willing to consider that Sessions, Huber and Horowitz might have some sort of virtuous plan, but not Mueller.

[Blustering Cons]

Impeachment is a constitutional mechanism. The Twenty-Fifth Amendment is a constitutional mechanism. Mass resignations followed by voluntary testimony to congressional committees are a constitutional mechanism. Overt defiance of presidential authority by the president’s own appointees—now that’s a constitutional crisis..

[Pinandpuller]

I wonder if she knows how to make an Onion Volcano?

[Eye Doctor .]

When have you EVER seen a virtuous plan play out in a scenerio like this?

Ms. Mazie of Hawai'i uses her time not to ask questions but to *read* indictments against Republicans. She obviously did not write the material herself. She is pitiful.

JiB,

You induced me to explore the AFIT thing a bit more given it seemed to be so thinly covered. Here is a guy you might know who went through the program.

A graduate of Lubbock High Class of 1949 and Texas Tech, Class of 1954, Col. Edward Duke Geotze was selected by AFIT (Air Force Institute of Technology) to attend Arizona State University, where he received an MBA in management.

Entering the Air Force through the ROTC program at Texas Tech, Col. Goetze became a command pilot of B52s and F4s with over 4900 flying hours. A veteran of two tours in Vietnam, he was awarded the Silver Star, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Medal with 13 Oak Leaf Clusters, and the Air Force Commendation Medal.

Several items where an individual was listed as AFIT and ASU simultaneously, but they never really come out and say the relationship, but whatever it is, it seems to still be going on.

[Giddy]

C'mon. Admit it. Ya'll knew it would end in flames and you don't care who burns to a crisp..

[Extraneus]

She obviously did not write the material herself. She is pitiful.

Did you watch? I never saw her in the video I watched. All they showed on my feed was Kavanaugh, but I thought she was even better after reading her #MeToo dreck, during which she interrupted him so rudely. Glad she spent so much time on that.

Sorry, playing catch-up from earlier:
For anyone who believes in the concept of Constitutional rule of law, Mueller is obligated to investigate any possible leads that are related to possible Russian collusion.

Tom R, I don't think you bothered to respond to my point yesterday about the double standard, so I'll repeat: Does "any possible lead" include Democrats? Because there are an awful lot of leads straight to Hillary and her campaign that Mueller appears to be ignoring.

That's in addition to the questionable constitutionality of Mueller's office, and the fact that no crime was specified, as others have pointed out.
