Hmmmm...

What a fallout, Re: the whole Kavanaugh thingy. I've been observing it with morbid fascination of some sorts, frankly. And I've been having yet another one of those "WTF, America!?" moments. Seriously.
First of all, is Brett Kavanaugh, like, the ONLY judge left in America? I mean, WTF? Why not just move on from this royally flawed time-bomb of a man and nominate someone who can actually cruise through the whole nomination process? The GOP has to die on THIS hill? Why!?
What amazes me that the more unhinged about these guys' supporters would genuinely believe Hillary Clinton ran a child sex ring out of a pizza restaurant - but won't believe a sexual assault victim who passed a polygraph.
And WTF is wrong with these people and their stupid excuses? "Why is she coming out NOW, hmmm?" Well, as Samantha Bee said, the woman that Brock Turner raped reported it immediately, and I guess that wasn't fair because it would ruin his future - but now Christine Blasey Ford is reporting Kavanaugh's alleged assault 36 years later, and somehow she's ALSO ruining his future? How much future do rich, white guys get to have? Eh?
And all this GOP spin on what a Devil's Triangle and what Boof means. WOW. In case you aren't 38-58 years old, Boof doesn't mean Fart, it means anal sex. Period. The Devil's Triangle isn't a drinking game, it's a 3 way sex with 2 guys and a girl where the guys don't make eye contact. Because it ain't manly enough. FFFF isn't the way his friend started the word "fuck", it means Find'em, Finger'em, Fuck'em, Forget'em.
When I say I want to "burn Lindsay Graham's house to the ground", I'm of course referring to a very popular drinking game that everyone knows about. Right?
I could go on, but you already know it doesn't matter anyway. I would've had more respect for him if he had walked out and said, "I apologize. I probably did all those things but I really don't remember them now. We had beer. I like beer. We liked beer a lot, so we drank beer. A lot. I'm not proud of the way I behaved back then (at the time we drank beer; because we liked beer), and I wasn't alone in that behavior. But I promise you I'll work for a better environment not just for our young girls but for all of us. I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused, and I promise to work to amend that". That's what a real judge would sound like. Not the vile, entitled, beer-faced motherfucker and poor excuse of a human being that we saw.
The GOP's behavior doesn't surprise me even one bit, sadly. Just look at their record. In 1974 they voted against allowing women to apply for a mortgage or credit card without a man. In 1978 they voted against banning employers from firing pregnant women. In 2012 they voted against the Equal Pay for Equal Work for Women Act. And now they're prepared to go to tremendous lengths to "ram" a vile misogynistic asshole into the SCOTUS, just because he has vowed to push their anti-abortion agenda through.
And the Douchebag-In-Chief is setting the tone for all this. After all, he was the one who mocked a prisoner of war. He mocked a disabled reporter. He mocked a family who lost a son in battle. And now he has mocked a woman who was sexually assaulted. How are we to expect even a trace of basic humanity from this guy and his horde? What gives!?
I think I know what's going on there. Here's what all this might be about:

But haven't you heard that Dr. Ford's brother worked with a distant relation of Peter Strzok?
And the Arch of Baal was erected in Washington DC? LITERAL CHILD SACRIFICE!
The logic is inescapable! Think of the children!
