Re: I believe her
Insisting on no burden of proof whatsoever leads to this kind of dipshittery. https://twitter.com/CalebHowe/status/1045682767458127873 I think there is a standard implicit in a confirmation proceeding (given the Senate's "advise and consent" role): it is the nominee's burden to persuade t...

Re: I believe her
It is not surprising that things got left off as "he-said, she-said." It is only slightly less surprising that people are still suggesting that due process and the accuser having a burden of proof matter here, at all. Insisting on no burden of proof whatsoever leads to this kind of dipshi...

Re: I believe her
Yeah. Just saying Murkowski's role in this process comes at an interesting point given the controversy at home.

I assume you're familiar with what Murkowski has going on in her home state?

Re: I believe her
I agree that could be where this is going, but I'm not sure that gets the GOP to a better landing spot than "maybe she's telling the truth, but it's a politically-motivated truth and process!" Ok? I don't doubt that a great deal of strategy has gone into the timing of revealing things. At ...

Re: I believe her
There is no question in my mind as to whether she is being truthful as to her recollections. There is obviously a mile (and, I suppose, some statutes of limitations) between that and criminal culpability or civil liability for Kavanaugh. But that's not why we're here. By far, the more important part...

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...
Presumption of innocence? Due process?
You know this isn't a trial, right? You know that "not getting put onto the Supreme Court" and "getting thrown in jail" are different things, right?
Of course you do - of course you know better.

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...
I mean, there is a Merrick Garland-shaped glass house in which there's presently a lot of rock-fighting. It is ludicrous to say there isn't a rush to confirm Kavanaugh, to "plow through" the proceedings, one might say. You cannot tell me that, were the midterms not right around the corner,...

Re: 2018-19 College Basketball Expert Picks
I don't see a good path for Weber to win COY without winning a share of the Big 12. The expectations will be for KSU to finish in the top-3, so there isn't much room for Weber to exceed expectations without claiming a share. I would guess that either Self will win it (by going 16-2 or better), or so...

Re: Kavanaugh accuser in a nutshell...
Like I said, I'm up for an investigation. It just has to investigate the right people. Up until last week, Ms. Ramirez couldn't even remember for sure if Brett Kavanaugh was at a party where something clearly traumatic happened to her. She admits to being blackout drunk and not remembering much els...

Re: Evaluating Bill Self's future at Kansas and five candidates to one day replace the Hall of Famer
First of all, the last sentence is hilarious. "He's at a direct rival of Kansas." Bull. But... From that list, it would either be Hoiberg or White. I mean, I went to battle with this on .net, but I still think Bennett would be my top choice if Self leaves in the next 5 years. But we are s...

I would bet on the field over the identified pool of five.
