From the left for voting in favor of Kavanaugh or from the right for asking for the supplimentary FBI investigation?

The article makes it sound like that specific threat is from a member of the right.

Either way though, Flake is probably going to get death threats from either side. No matter what he does, someone is going to be upset. That seems to be the problem with being a moderate or swing voter.

I'm currently in the middle of North Carolina. Most of the immediate concern here is the flooding. Aside from simply swamping things with water, the other big issue is that our sandy soil doesn't absorb water well, meaning that things like trees and telephone poles have tendency to become loose and then fall.

I ran across an interesting pistol today while browsing the web. One of those pretty guns that I wouldn't actually want to shoot.

In short, Kim has the choice of either submitting or being destroyed. 

I mean this as a genuine question of curiosity: What prevents Kim Jong Un from going back to life as usual?

Given that today 6.5mm ammo is talked about like its the second coming, why the hell did the japanese switch from a 6.5mm to a 7.7mm round, given that the 6.5 seems perfectly adequate?

The Japanese weren't the only ones making such a switch, and I think one could argue that it was almost a trend.   The Italians, Dutch, Sweden, Austria, and a handful of other countries had adopted 6.5mm cartridges around the turn of the century.  The Italians too were switching to a larger diameter (7.35mm) just before World War 2 (though the war interrupted those plans).
