LinkSwarm for September 28, 2018

Friday, September 28th, 2018

We have survived Kavanaugh Week and made it to fall. On to the LinkSwarm:

  • Republican senate insiders are saying they have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh.
  • Alan Dershowitz: Kavanaugh has “more corroboration on his side”:

  • Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office gets respectful messages opposing Kavanaugh. Ha! Just kidding! “I hope you get raped.” (Hat tip: Ace of Spades HQ.)
  • Why are Democrats so violent?” (With examples.)
  • The Kavanaugh attacks were so vile they turned Lindsey Graham into Phil Gramm.
  • Entire nail salon full of women agree: “I’m disgusted at the whole thing. It’s totally political.” (Hat tip: Director Blue.)

  • Russian collusion theory: sad as a wrinkled little balloon.
  • Tweet:

  • Dem Rep Brings Convicted Money Launderer onto Full-Time Staff.”

    Democratic representative Alcee Hastings (Fla.) has officially brought a convicted money launderer onto his full-time staff after paying the individual for “part-time” work over the past several years.

    Dona Nichols Jones, who has received compensation from Hastings since April 2014 for what was listed as “part-time” employment as an aide and community liaison out of his Palm Beach County office, is now listed as a “staff assistant” in his office, Legistorm filingsshow.

    Dona Nichols Jones is married to Mikel Jones, who worked for Rep. Hastings from 1993 to 2011 as a district administrator. The couple was convicted of money laundering, conspiracy, and fraud in 2011 after they had used hundreds of thousands of dollars from a business loan for personal use.

  • Multi-deported illegal alien arrested for multiple baseball bat murders.
  • More on Linus Torvalds caving to Social Justice Warrior demands.
  • Online voting: Why you should be terrified:

    Online voting is a persistently bad idea, one that is only liked by people who are completely ignorant of the security issues, and yet one that seemingly will not go away. If you are suspicious that Stalin’s dictum of it’s not who cast the vote that matters, what’s important is who counts the vote is in play here, you’re not the only one.

  • Did three unnamed UT officials just pull a dirty sex smear on Republican State Senator Charles Schwertner? (Schwertner​ is my state senator, though I do not know him personally.)
  • Cop: “Pull over!” Driver: “No! I drive a Prius!.”
  • A San Antonio Baptismal Book from 1703.
  • “Denton, Denton! You’ve got (clap) baby punching!” (Hat tip: Dwight. You’ll just have to figure out the obscure tagline reference on your own…)
  • “Delay Tactics: The Democrats Just Demanded The Senate Watch All 639 Episodes Of ‘The Simpsons’ Before Kavanaugh Vote.”
  • The Finalists for the Wildlife Comedy Photo Awards.
