The highlight of the Republican portion of Mueller hearing today was watching them just sputtering invective without actually asking a coherent question. And Mueller's patent response was f'n hilarious.

My new go-to phrase when dealing with asshats from this point forward: "I take your question."

Thank you, Bob Mueller.

Pulled this from an article in the responses:

https://qz.com/1674164/muellers-i-ta...-legal-expert/

Quote:
“‘I take your question’ is used often when the witness doesn’t know the answer to the question,” she said. It’s distinct from a straight “no” because it indicates that the answer may well be knowable, just that this witness doesn’t know it.

From a technical perspective, the answer can preserve the question for follow-up on the record. After the hearings, committee chairpersons give their colleagues a deadline for submitting additional questions based on the witness’s testimony and Mueller might be asked to provide a more substantive response.

Johnson notes that in the context of today’s hearings, and specifically the first instance when Mueller said “I take your question” after what she calls “a rant” by Republican Louie Gohmert of Texas, the response is also a way of saying, “I got you. I hear you.” But it doesn’t mean Mueller has an answer, and in this case it seemed to mean that the former special counsel wasn’t happy that Gohmert left no obvious question for Mueller to answer.

People tend to rationalize and double down whenever prophecies or big conspiracy events are supposed to happen.

I think there's a point where normal human rationalization goes into dysfunction, though, and I think if anyone is still a Qanon follower is probably veering that way.

I obviously didn’t steal your puny amount of money, do you think I could buy such a huge place using such a tiny amount of money raised, I think not, which is proof I didn’t steal it.

In related news, the savage beat-down Germany received in WWII was Germany's apology for the Holocaust.

And as the Singular great War of the 20th century taught us, once you fight someone and win, you never have to fight them again. and Germany was never a problem again.

Me too! I still think it kinda was, except that instead of states' rights to designate human beings as chattel is was actually about states' rights to apologize for slavery by conducting a lengthy, costly, vigorous, armed, to-the-death defense of slavery.

Yessir, that makes perfect sense.

Wohl is a complete shit, but I wonder if his location is doing that because he's using an web anonymizer and forgot to turn off locations on Twitter.

i.e. it's because he's stupid, but not because he's intentionally trying to seem worldly.

Wait, doesn't the Bible say that humans were created from ... dirt?

You know, if you have even the most basic understanding of evolutionary biology, you know that all living things are related through common descent -- that is, we share common ancestry with all of the other wondrous, beautiful, and just plain fascinating creatures that inhabit (and have inhabited) this globe. According to the Bible, however, we're just glorified dirt.

I know which of those two notions I find more ennobling.
