lol, it's coming out now that one of Ford's ex boyfriends wrote a letter to the senate testifying that Ford had previously prepared a friend for a polygraph, contradicting her own testimony.

Wait why would she say that?

I laughed because all they wanted was a public report from the FBI...and now it's under wraps

The information coming out since the hearing is making Ford look incredibly uncredible.In response, Democrats are changing tactics to focus on Kavanugh's response to likely bogus claims and his drinking habits 30+ years ago.Good old American politics.

Whew they fucked themselves? That's hilarious.

Good investigation by NYT. Turning $1 million into a few billion, relatively impressive, though not quite so impressive with the real estate boom in mind. Turning half a billion into a a few billion? meh. Of course, nothing here is anything that would disturb his supporters.

In less surprising news:

First-hand accounts of an ex-party member of CPUSA (Communist Party USA), where party meeting devolved into orgies, party funds were spent on prostitutes & lesbian female members were peer pressured into sleeping with transgenders.

Whew. ​

 

[The Ozzman]

Love how Party funds were spent on non party things. How communistic of them.

Since Leave supporters score higher on conscientiousness but lower on neuroticism and openness, and given their general proclivity toward conservatism, we hypothesized that preference for realistic art would predict support for Brexit. Data on a large nationally representative sample of the British population were obtained, and preference for realistic art was measured using a four‐item binary choice test. Controlling for a range of personal characteristics, we found that respondents who preferred all four realistic paintings were 15–20 percentage points more likely to support Leave than those who preferred zero or one realistic paintings.

Salt of the earth.
