Afternoon, everyone… Long week so far, no?

Saw this video earlier today… I kinda loved it.

I don’t know what went on 30 plus years ago with SCOTUS nominee, Brett Kavanaugh… Very few people do. I will wait for his testimony later this week, the testimony of the accusers/victims, and the subsequent investigation before I make an intelligent decision.

I withhold judgement on guys like Brett even though I myself have NEVER assaulted a woman, NOR have I exposed my genitals in a drunken stupor. Part of the reason is my immeasurable respect for members of the fairer sex, and the other part is my pendulous belly and downstairs neighboring “small bird/big nest situation” make exposing said genitals barely noticeable… So seems like the whole thing would be a fruitless endeavor (literally… no one would see my fruit).

I am old enough to remember the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas story from the early 90’s. This one is similar only on the surface. Anita never claimed any physical abuse, her claims were much more recent than the ones levied at Kavanaugh, and the committee she testified in front of was filled with old white guys.

In the end, I remember vividly that Justice Thomas’ public approval rating actually went UP 5% after Anita’s allegations came to light.

Disapproval for Kavanaugh, however, is at an unprecedented level for a Supreme Court nominee amid these allegations. According to some generic USA Today poll, it’s actually the first time a plurality of Americans have opposed a Supreme Court nominee since polling on the issue began.

That is why ultimately I think Kavanagh does not get the SCOTUS appointment. The presumption of guilt, coupled with the vitriol towards Trump, coupled with the #metoo thing, leads me to believe that… Rightfully so, or not… Brett is fucked.

But that’s not what this blog is about… It’s about the video above.

I am Switzerland on Ted Cruz. I really don’t give a fuck about him either way.

Sure, he has a Grayson Allen-ish punchable face, I giggled at the videos of him playing hoops, I enjoyed watching him cold-cock* his wife at a campaign rally…

But I have become so disgusted with politics over the past decade that I don’t have the motivation to deep dive into political figures like him. My resulting ignorance has afforded me the luxury of not having to get into political discussions with people I don’t like.

When I am in mixed company, and someone tries to get political with me, I just give them the conversational equivalent of, “No habla, Ingles.” and then walk to the bar.

Whether or not Cruz and Kavanagh are buddies is inconsequential for me. Like I said, I don’t have a horse in that race yet. What’s important is that you can’t fuck with a guy when he is eating.

I started this blog saying “I kinda loved” the video, but maybe “love” was the wrong word. I only love that this video exists, because it justifies everything that I feel is wrong with this country lately, and I despise the pricks in the video itself.

Specifically, the mousy broad in the black and white striped shirt. Go back up now and look at her gain. I think I have seen her before… Probably at every rally/protest/vegan buffet ever held. And this women in particular (we’ll call her “Velma”), is what is wrong with our society.

She is so fucking triggered, that she mobilizes everyone in her coffee shop and disrupts a man having a nice dinner with his wife. The video goes viral, and as a result, she sleeps soundly alone on a futon in her parents’ basement believing that she fought the good fight.

Good fight, my ass… She’s a fucking pariah.

So if you’re mad at the fact that defensive linemen are no longer able to sack a quarterback…

Or if you’re mad that liberal feminists reinvented actual feminism into some bastardized combination of man-hating and victimization…

Or if you’re mad that tribalism has turned this country into a place where people no longer believe they share the same goals and values because random assholes work tirelessly to split Americans in ever smaller groups that are at each other’s throats…

If you’re mad… Don’t be mad at millennials. It’s not them. They’re probably still asleep.

If you’re mad… Don’t be mad at liberals. It’s not them either.

I found the Outbreak Monkey for all of this… The Douchebag Patient Zero, if you will.
