A group of 77 Nobel laureates — a coalition from the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry and economics — wrote an open letter to the Senate on Monday urging lawmakers to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bid to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Placing Mr. Kennedy in charge of DHHS would put the public’s health in jeopardy and undermine America’s global leadership in health science,” the letter, obtained by The New York Times, reads.

I guess he's a shoe-in now

This is the interview of Nancy Mace that cost George and ABC $15M.

As Megyn Kelly so aptly pointed out, George was Bill Clinton's attack dog against every woman who came forward against Bill.

He held her down and fingered her. Couldn't prove penile penetration so it was sexual abuse not rape according to the definition in New York state law.

No criminal conviction

No criminal conviction

Yeah because the statute of limitations had expired.

In any case, anyone who gets off forcing themselves on a woman desperately resisting is a sick person.

No criminal conviction

No, but he lost a defamation law suit, having claimed that the victim lied about it. The court found that she had not lied.
Thus the court confirmed that he had done it, but because of the statute of limitations he cannot be charged with the criminal offence.

It would still count as rape in Sweden.

One of the reasons our rape statistics are pretty high is that we have a broader definition of what rape is than most other countries.

The statute of limitations exists for many reasons. How on earth does one defend oneself when 20 years later someone says "this happened to me" and there's no ability to even marshal evidence beyond testimony. Memory suffers after 20 years -- do you really believe your perception of what happened to you 20 years ago is the same of your perception 2 months after the event? And how about the date? Most people accused of a crime have the ability to prove they were elsewhere -- its the most common type of defense (that's often sorted before charged). Where are your alibis 20 years later -- or how does it matter when you aren't even provided the date on which the event occurred? You can't even find and interview the store clerks or get the surveillance to find out if she was there (or to corroborate that you weren't).

I'm not expressing a view on whether Trump did this or didn't do this. I am not in a position to know. The point is that statute of limitations recognizes that at some point, nobody is in a position to be able to really know (or marshal a defense).

Rourke revealed that he has had a personal vendetta against Trump after an incident in which Trump sued both him and Tupac Shakur in the 1990s. Rourke has since been very vocal in his criticisms of Trump's presidency, referring to him as a "Garbage Can" president.

"Tupac and I were staying in the Plaza Hotel when we were shooting Bullet together. I caused maybe 6-7 thousand dollars worth of damage," he explained on the Real Quick with Mike Swick podcast. "This scumbag Trump sued me for $27,000, plus he put about six paragraphs of the worst, negative, demeaning disrespectful shit you could write about people. So, it's personal for me."

DOGE's first test with the government spending bill, which they are effectively torpedoing, but with no plan B.

Democrat votes are needed as the Freedom Caucus won't vote for any bill. That was the point of this negotiated bill.

Elon getting a crash course in politics.
