He's suing them
Is he though? It may be in the title but I believe it when I see it.
I'm sure they'll double down.
Voat has existed for years because of how gay Reddit is but they're mostly compromised by the same 1488 types as Gab
"The official said that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) "flagged" the content for Twitter and the platform deemed it was part of a "misinformation campaign" that was being viewed as a "targeted voter suppression initiative.""
James Wood entertained the possibility the image was "fake" in his tweet
He said just the possibility the image was real was scary enough, which is just the truth
So the DNC's 2018 election strategy is to go around flagging right-wing Twitter accounts to get them suspended? Wtf.
you can say whatever you want as long as you have the right opinion
*as long as you're verified ubermensch
It's not that they're flagging twitter accounts, it's that they want total control of the narrative on all platforms. This is just one tiny exchange in a greater war. They're winning.
Total information control.
All uncheck'd untermensch will be processed
All they're doing is scorching these social media platforms.
Look up anything on Google or Youtube and the first 30 hits are probably mainstream media sources that are vassals of the DNC.
They're scorching them for *you*. But not for the mushy middle that doesn't notice or care about people like Woods. Most folk don't even know who he is because he hasn't been in movies for decades.
We've known about info manipulation on social media since long before 2016.
In 2016 their hope was to take over forums. People noticed but were unable to stop it. Reddit has completed the purge of all right-wingers and most other smaller forums are infested if not dominated.
It's as if they want breaking up Google/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube to be on the ballot in 2018.
Reddit was a shithole long before 2016
Sure, but it was theoretically possible to be something other than hard left or apolitical and exist on the site.
Also fuck you for making me go to reddit

How many of these should we do?
Wonder how accurate it is.
Apparently they sampled 1700 people.
Only that?
I trust Styx with all my polling news
@Timcast Regarding that Letter from the ABA asking for an FBI investigation you mentioned in today's Kavanaugh video https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/american-bar-association-committee-still-stands-behind-kavanaugh
lol 1700 people isnt much and tbh were they in a libtard state? furthermore people are #walkingaway from the drama created by libtards
FBI will not be investigating the allegations made by Michael Avenatti's client, Julie Swetnick
Swetnick has made sexual assault allegations before, against a former employer
And one of her ex boyfriends obtained a restraining order against her
Kavanaugh appears to have lied under oath when answering questions about boofing, and devils triangle, and renate alumnius
and answering questions about blacking out with "Have you ever blacked out?"
I found definitions for boofing and alumnius that matched his claim.
boofing is commonly referring to drug use and/or anal sex
for each of those words, you'd have to prove the definition him and his friends used at the time of them being used to prove he lied
I don't know anyone who refers to boofing as farting
Devil's triangle according to Kavanaugh is a drinking game that no one has ever heard of before. The rules are unclear because the man who invented the game, Brett Kavanaugh, was unable to explain the rules under oath.
> more dislikes than likes
it's not an accurate definition
"Pamela Munro, Slang U: The Official Dictionary of College Slang (1989), however, has entries for boofa and boofed:
boofa stupid person, loser, dork (pronounced {bรบfษ}, like "boo" plus "fa" as in "sofa") | Jimmy's such a boofa! All he does is waste time playing with his Rubik's cube; he doesn't even speak!
boofed puffed out, bouffant (usually, of a hairdo; pronounced {bรบft}โrhymes with "poofed") | After she got a perm, Jan's hair was totally boofed. {[from] bouffant, perhaps influenced by poofed}"
"And Jonathon Green, Slang Dictionary (2008) has several potentially relevant entries:
boof n. {unknown} {2000s} (US prison) contraband hidden in the rectum.
boofa n. (also boofer) {BOOFHEAD n. (1) ["Lincolnshire dial. {1940s+} (orig. Aus[tralian]) a fool, an idiot, a simpleton"] or BUTTFUCKER n. ["one who engages in anal intercourse"]} {1970s+} (US) a fool, an incompetent.
boofed (out) adj. {S[tandard] E[nglish] bouffant} {1980s+} (US campus) puffed out, usu. of hair.
"
Anyways thereโs no way to prove without cross examination how they defined the terms.
agreed senators will have to take him at his word because there's no way to prove otherwise
devils triangle would damn near impossible unless the context makes its not possible for it to be a drinking game
as groups of friends usually have names which mean something very specific to them that may mean something completely different in the surrounding culture
He was 100% lying about those definitions, it's clear to me
They were also from a catholic school so it was out of the mainstream.
it is what it is, no way to prove otherwise
his explanations and mock definitions were laughable, I don't think anyone really believed him
can't prove it and even if he had not lied, it would have proved nothing more than immature teenagers are immature.
^
also, how much do you want to bet that one of the other allegations, saw the words devil's triangle in the year book and used that to make the allegation
the 1 that tired to say he was in a threesome at the rape house
Itโs really weird how Ford purged all her social media stuff. Including her yearbook.
wonder what was in that yearbook
wanna play character assassination
There was an archived version.
They drank a lot and did lots of drugs.
Slept around.
I donโt have the link though.
i was about to say "hmmm, kav was an immature teenage according to this, and you look like a massive slut..... why should we believe what either of you say about your high school careers? sounds like you were both typical teenagers doing stupid stuff that you really really REALLY don't want attached to your names now."
yea her yearbook would be really interesting to see
just to give more context to her character
also possibly to her ability to remember things
Has pictures and quotes.
Source itself seems iffy.
boy howdy
yea that's suspect
lets spin a different narrative: Ford attempted to seduce Kav at a party, Mark interrupted them, everyone high and drunk off their tits. Fast forward several years, Ford and her liberal friends are worry about their team losing power in the supreme court, Ford tells them of the time she almost seduced him and they get an idea: what better way to derail a republican nomination than shatter this image of the perfect Christian school boy. Up the stakes by playing the victim to weaponize dem supporters. Its old enough that it will be hard to call it fake, and it doesn't need to stick in a court of law, it just needs to put enough doubt into the minds of people voting him in. Just to be safe, they scrub the record
I doubt those yearbooks are even real
there's quotes about binge drinking, munchies, and consuming liquid ether
and it's not some clever slang like Kavanaugh's year book
None of that shit would be approved by the school
Wouldn't make it out of the year book editing room
Itd be cut
were you in school in the 80s?
Nah
age for alcohol wasn't raised until around 1984
Maryland, where Kavanaugh lived, raised in the drinking age in 1982
When Kavanaugh was still 17
anyways the underage drinking doesn't bother me
Most high schoolers have drank underage at some point.. maybe not as much as Kavanaugh
most do, but my point was that i doubt anyone on that school board, particularly around that time, would bat an eye
because seniors drinking was probably a norm
Ford's "yearbook" includes quotes like "As Father Powderly told us, reason and control are the first functions to go after the consumption of liquid ether."
that seems pretty fake
why?
sounds like my health class in high school
It's on a page of the year book describing all they partying they were doing
that their health teacher warned them about the effects of drinking alcohol?
or other drugs
Powderly sounds like someone from the church.
"when you do drugs, these are the first functions you will lose." the part any teenager would then tune out is "which is why you should never touch the stuff, it will lead to bad decision making and all this other stuff"
Do you think a top Jesuit prep school is going to allow their yearbook to print stories about their students recreationally using dangerous drugs
because that was the context
year book is fake af
Drugs were very mainstream back then.
not in jesuit prep school yearbooks
if my high schools sister school allowed something like that, i would not be surprised.
depends on the schools rep at the time
Georgetown prep was highly regarded, and still is
keep in mind, i say a school in 2010 releasing that wouldn't surprise me.
elite school
surely there is a copy of this year book floating around on the internet from an official source
Or a physical copy from classmates.
Iโm curious as to why you think Kavs yearbook was real but Fords isnโt when they both contain pretty much the same stuff.
Because there's lots of sources reporting Kavanaugh's verified year book
Surely the parents wouldnโt have allowed Kavs either right?
And only a few right wing propoganda sites are covering this fake yearbook
It seems like a double standard though.
No major news outlets, not even Fox have any coverage of her yearbook
Iโm not talking about how verifiable it is. Iโm talking about how plausible it is.
You donโt think itโs plausible that they would have approved its release.
yea you could be right
maybe it is a real yearbook but not verified
A few other sites have the same yearbook photos
It would make sense for most MSM to not cover it, but Fox is the interesting one there. You would think theyd have enough info (or manpower) to verify the veracity of Ford's book.
Ofc, that could be ongoing too
Fox exists more to make money than anything. It's investigative powers aren't that strong either. Many institutions will simply refuse to work with Fox or give any information whatsoever to a journalist who describes themselves as working for Fox. Most of Fox's money is made off its pundits anyway.
Project Veritas is the best investigative journalism outfit on the right. And they seem to be run out a garage and can be deceptive (like investigative journalists lol).
It's one of the many weaknesses of the right.
Listen and look for "court-balancing" as a new phrase in lefty media.
"Court-balancing" being packing the court such that it meets some progressive standard of diversity.

Interesting side note: The high school requirements to enlist in the US armed forces are now higher than to enroll in a US university. I doubt it is the armyโs requirements that have risen.
Funny enough, the army claimed they raised their standards this year
But that might just be cover for the fact that they didnt meet their recruitment target
They want to dissolve the executive because of whose in power, and they want to pack the supreme court and expect a blue wave
Do Dems ever fucking think long term
I was sure they were pro electoral collage before
But now want it gone cause they didnt like how it gave the rural people power.
happens every election
the loosing side bitches about the college
Then when they win they keep it cause it helped them win
discussions are unsafe ๐
Do not question the narrative, citizen. Abortion is a right, and a choice every women is competent to make.
She wasn't even disputing whether abortion should be available.
Merely stating that there is evidence that previously having an abortion could increase the likelihood of premature birth in future pregnancy. That's not saying "there should be no abortions" that's saying "you should be aware of this information".

Flake, Murkowski, Collins and Coons masterminded the FBI investigation.

You knew they'd try this angle eventually.
Perjury is nice because it's really easy to trap people.
Or make it up.
```Flake, Murkowski, Collins and Coons masterminded the FBI investigation.```
What if the FBI Investigation about Kavenaugh investigates Ford and shows she was a Party Whore at the time??

Do well son. ^^^
The great big 'google classroom/R.E.' is also a little bit worrying.
If you are already a muslim, will you fail the test?
tl:dr.
The kids got a written assignment: write a letter to your family explaining why you converted to islam
IMO it is full on indoctrination.
Analysis of Article 13 by a renowned german law firm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtL5VThobJs
Pretty much what i said myself. @Timcast your news videos are at least as problematic as memes, for the record. They are copyrighted at least in europe they are (everything anyone creates is) and with the plattforms being responsible in case copyrighted material does find its way to their plattforms thats a problem as it is hard to prove of that much content that you didnt publish elsewhere before that you hold the copyright - and they wouldnt want to risk it as it could be expensive in case they miss something.
"We know there's been a criminal incident," District Attorney James Martin told reporters at a news conference Sunday. "We have a high degree of confidence that the perpetrator was probably killed in the incident."

Well, our Verfassungsgericht might still kill that law. And when it comes to the Normies and Facebook is full of that shit, the revolution is near...
I don't think that it's a good idea to enforce the Law.
Especially when Facebook and co will be very careful with the Implementation of the Upload filter and you can not upload anything that has any copyright in Europe on it, wich then will include pictures of Cars and other shit, people will get angry. And when the right ones are around that point towards Axel-Springer and other News Outlets, people will boycott those...
Holy crap. I was in Allentown, Pennsylvania like a decade ago.
Eh a car bomb ain't gonna spruce that place up at all.
Wanna bet that the Bomber is a membe of certain Ideology??
Someone called?
I don't know what you would conceivably target in Allentown.
Boom boom boom boom shoot you like a bomber
@Stefan Payne "Anything that has copyright in europe on it" - that includes stuff produced elsewhere, just fyi
Like, there was this case recently gutenberg.org i think?
yeah, thats it
Its based in america and they share books there which are public domain in the US due to the copyright running out.
Well, the copyright ran out in the US where its like 70 years? Whereas here its 70 years after death of author. So they were still protected.
So, no, the picture being taken in say the US doesnt help there.
@Bones Can you really perjure yourself on a subjective opinion of what constitutes a lot of drinking?
I don't even think he said he didn't drink a lot, or didn't drink excessively.
I'm not really clear on what specifically the article is claiming is perjury. I was under the impression it was the "I never got blackout/passed out drunk"
Which is itself kinda uhh...
a vague, qualitative judgement
If he were asked "have you ever been drunk enough that you would not remember key details of when you were intoxicated" then maybe, but then again
how could you prove that Brett Kavanaugh saw, heard, or experienced something in a way which could be expected to be remembered
such that it could be considered forgotten in the morning?
It is ultimately internal, subjective, and qualitative
And as long as he is consistent with his _own_ statements about his _own_ subjective, internal, qualitative opinion of that, it seems to matter very little what others say.
even if they say it also under penalty of felony.
And much less so in a random, professionally-cut interview under no penalty, with a decidedly-hostile news organization.
This is a "She said, they said otherwise."
https://twitter.com/EFF/status/1046559134173130752 CA brings back net neutrality and makes building local broadband networks easier
Reading the report Schedrevka linked. It's refreshing to see that this is a matter of record.
This is seriously the most sane print on paper I've read in a while.
@aukkras No, what they've done is _made local broadband networks a concern of the state_, which will probably go very badly since this is California we are talking about.
When "city planners" determine how many fibers travel to you, and force you to pay into _their_ scheme, you are well and truly had by the balls.
Everything bad that's happened with the internet since the repeal seems to be stuff that has to do with tech giants originally built with government grants now owning all the platforms.
Aside from the Verizon throttling that fire department I guess
If they wanted to make building local broadband networks easier, they would find some way to enhance the permitting process for laying new fiber, and reduce the cost of buying space in cable conduits.
(and include cable conduits with new major road projects)
Well, it's not so much that Verizon throttled the fire department
it's that the fire department bought the wrong package, consistently overran their allotment, and then when the system automatically throttled their connection for misuse, they suddenly cared.
Yeah my mistake
it's great that it didn't just shut off, or some nonsense like that.
then they go crying to the press
"boo hoo we bought too little internet and it ran out"
I forgot the big worry without net neutrality is that like, Comcast will selectively throttle content
It's not like they woke up in the morning and thought "ahh, let's interrupt a city service"
"selectively"
I mean, Comcast has a thousand good reasons for shit to be delivered at different rates anyway.
from the basic technical perspective, their own first-party services, and services directly affiliated with them, are likely to be served from directly inside their own colocation centers.
(or even closer to the edge)
which means that they don't pay peering charges, and don't have to power up nearly as much equipment to make it work
seems to me that that should be allowed to be cheaper, it is in fact more efficient.
(not that that means you'll want Comcast's shitty streaming service, because chances are they will not get the hot licenses Netflix gets, nor those juicy juicy Netflix originals; ditto for HBO)
And sure, they're sleazy, and constantly trying to take advantage of you
but they're not so unscrupulous that they would do things so obvious that you would complain en masse.
Comcast is a monopoly, they're always gonna fuck me one way or another
they are rarely a monopoly
They are in my area
I doubt that
you can probably get directional radio
just maybe not DSL or cable or fiber from anyone else
I was in one of the areas selected for a download cap so I thought I was but I can look into whether that's changed
And honestly Comcast having their service in your county is a matter of them being proactive with your crony government.
Comcast are the ones willing to send the lawyers with nice steak dinners and hot tubs
Comcast is a lot better than they were 15 years ago anyway
Your politicians are the ones who say whether people get to use the utility poles or not.
The folks at Comcast are subject to pressure, if they become much worse than an upstart alternative could quickly become.
This is why even when they are your sole wireline fixed internet provider in an area, you get the benefits of at least the threat of competition. (though geography sometimes means that if Comcast is available where you are, they are operating at a loss)
My grandmother has a modest vacation property on a lake, and the building is a duplex.
One half is fully in the county to the north, the other half is split down the middle by the county line. That side of the duplex can sorta technically get Comcast, our side can only get satellite.
Even the _satellite_ provider needs permission from the county, it's ridiculous.
Internet Brought to you by the folks who gave you the 2.2 Billion Transit Center that is falling apart a month after it opened.
GREAT PLAN
If anyone can find a reference to the actual deal or a good analysis calling out key passages, it might be worth doing.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-trade-nafta/nafta-talks-run-up-against-deadline-u-s-tariffs-remain-tough-issue-idUSKCN1MA0UJ
Futures smell the success up on the Sunday nite trade.
I'm slightly curious if Trudeau snuck any of his "feminist economics" nonsense in the deal. And I'm confused what Canada got out of the deal. There must have been *something* but it's not clear to me what it is.
They get the lifting of any US tariffs ... I think they had to give up some farm tariffs. It has been brutal down on the farm. I know, part owner of a farm via inheritance and the pain is here. So this should help the agri-business.
I should say "some" not "any"
But the bigger issue is still china for farmers. Soybeans at multi-year lows ... 8.44 a bushel.
In 2012 the high was 17.50 ... ouch. Depressed farm land values and no farmer is investing in equipment, etc ...
