“Hey we got one over here, we got one!”

Maybe it’s my despair of the current racial-political climate speaking, but what I notice is the portly usher doing his best to shield/shelter the racist bros, while hustling out a bystander that had the audacity to document his loudmouth, racist ways. The user spit out a boilerplate “this is private property”…

Real fucking brave, spouting that racist garbage. Then he sees himself getting filmed and immediately realizes his ass his going viral. What a little miserable fuck.

...And substantiated boasting, too, for that matter (although even that would inevitably be subject to exaggeration). It’s slut-shaming no matter what, and no one deserves it.

Didn’t Dr. Ford have to go into hiding because of death threats she’s been receiving?

Oh! Me! It happened to me, too!

DON’T RECORD ME DOING A RACISM!!!!

Kavanaugh didn’t have to go with the “I was a virgin and never drank” lie. He could have said, “I was a typical wealthy spoiled prep-school kid,” who drank and continued to deny the allegations. But like all the other Republicans, they love to present themselves as if they lived in the movie world of the 50's with…

“Don’t record me!”

Oh man that look when his dead eyes get live with panic is just...delicious. I could snack on that all day.

“I just want a fair process where I can be heard,”

You can see the guy’s white-collar career flash before his eyes the moment he realizes he’s been caught on video screaming racial epithets.  

As a former teenage boy myself I could actually buy some of his yearbook bragging as a virgin overcompensating- that actually seems plausible.

Selective decency/selective outrage.

Over and over, my attention keeps going to the conservative women defending this piece of shit and casting doubt on the accusations. What’s most amazing to me is - Dr. Ford IS those women, even though she votes Democrat now and seems like a nice moderately-progressive white lady. She grew up in a conservative,…

This is all repulsive, start to finish, top to bottom. The report of GOP staffers learning of this and then gunning the accelerator? There aren’t enough barf bags to contain my disgust.

He is the only one who thinks US v Nixon was wrongly decided and also posits that the President is immune to subpoena or prosecution. 

Jia Tolentino in the New Yorker recounts her sexual assault at a high school party as to why she did not tell her parents or go to the police. We are told by society that men’s feelings (and experiences /voices /perspectives) and more important and have more value to society than women’s feelings.

That’s not a Twitter mob, that’s the audience (the same one the advertisers are paying for access to). The cultural landscape has definitely shifted, but not being willing or able to shift with it just means Buruma was no longer qualified for the job he had

He didn’t suffer “the same fate” as Ghomeshi; he made an incredibly dumb decision as editor to run a very misleading piece and had to give up his job over it. He is not the first person to lose their job over making a dumb, work-related decision.
