In relationship to Christmas!
History is bad and we need to retcon it
BTW Centrist, is your name supposed to be satire?
Yes and it’s sad anyone needs to ask
No, I ask because it's already been Poe'd
Yeah I changed it after that article lmao
Alright then.
We’re in the best worst timeline
If we had German culture worldwide would we be in the best wurst timeline?

nvm. we had one shot at that, and Hitler was a Hipster vegan.
Hipstler, if you will.
Mama Merkel makes the worst wurst timeline tbh
Mama Merkel makes for a mediocore kebab timeline.

Anyone else see this article Vox is running where they included a chart of every question Kavanaugh apparently didn't answer?
I looked through a lot of the marked statements for both testimonies and I feel like (unsurprisingly) there are some uneven standards being applied to make things look much worse than they are
The article says the methodology was they marked questions where no answer or an answer that didnt address the qestion were marked in red
"DId you enjoy raping women like a choo choo train? Yes or no question."
Right, or the constant badgering of "do you support an FBI investigation directed at yourself"
"What do you consider too many beers"
"I don't know - whatever the chart says"
marked as not answering the question
```
MITCHELL: Did you ever tell — did anyone ever tell you about something that happened in your presence that you didn’t remember during a time that you had been drinking?
KAVANAUGH: No, the — the — we drank beer, and you know, so — so did, I think, the vast majority of — of people our age at the time. But in any event, we drank beer, and — and still do. So whatever, you know.
```
Marked as not answered. The first word in his response is literally the answer
Or marked as no answer when he's providing context to Mark Judge's book and saying "you'd have to ask him" whether or not referenced kavanaugh was in fact him
Alternatively you have stuff like this marked as answering the question from Fords testimony
```
MITCHELL: OK. Between the letter date, July 30th and August the 7th, did you speak with any other person about your allegations?
FORD: Could you say the dates again?
MITCHELL: Between the letter date of July 30 and August 7 — so, while you were still in Delaware — did you speak with any other person about your allegations?
FORD: I’m just trying to remember what dates that.
```
I mean that's being nitpicky honestly but the uneven standard and the way each testimony is presented using this "data" is obnoxiously biased
Not to mention it ignores the types of questions being posed to each person (primarily yes/no vs. open ended)
@Bones There's also fucking Booker asking him if he wished Ford hadn't stepped forward.
What kind of question is that?
Yeah I mean, there's no real way to answer that and come out the other end unscathed
That was basically the point of the entire hearing.
Generate controversy to fuel controversy.
There’s some info in <#399204742846349312> about it
oh
