The Trump Admin has made too many good thinking Americans agree with poo poo heels like John McCain and Ben Shapiro. This should not stand, and would be a hanging offense in any sane country.

Because yes everyone will be worse off but the wealthier you are he more extreme a life style change you would see. Going from $50k/yr to $30k a year sucks a lot, but it wouldn’t be quite the privilege shock of going from $10m/yr to $50k Even that likely compares well to being dead, which is the likely outcome for the working poor / impoverished in an accelerationst model Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Sep 26, 2018 |

The Kavanaugh thing has brought back something that I hadn’t thought about in years. I went to high school in a fairly wealthy area in Southern California, and the “popular” kids were among the super rich, upper crust, hard drinking/partying type with way too much money and not nearly enough common sense. To give you an idea of this, there was one guy who spent tens of thousands of dollars tricking out his Suburban so that it was lifted like 4’ off the ground, then got so hosed up at a party that he ended up waking up with his truck parked on top of another parked car and a police helicopter hovering overhead. And he was actually one of the less lovely of the whole cohort. My senior year, a scandal broke open that involved a lot of the shithead rich jocks and preppy types. They had this thing called the “31 Flavors” club, where a group of them had a competition going to see how many of the 31 hottest freshman girls they could nail (remember that a good portion of these dudes were already 18.) Some of the teachers got wind of this, and got the administration and LE involved. They never got enough hard evidence to go after them, but our senior class president ended up getting his title stripped because his booze-soaked website, which was oh so cleverly named after the school and contained pictures of him and his buddies partying, got discovered. One of the pics also involved someone “helping” a girl who went to another high school flash the camera. This is why I have no problem whatsoever believing any accusation that places Kavanaugh at the center of a hosed up whirlpool of rich white kid entitlement and sexual assault. If these shitheads in my class thought they could get away with it- in an age where the consequences of putting dumb poo poo on the Internet were becoming increasingly profound- then imagine what a dweeb like Kavanaugh and his ilk thought they could pull off when the armor of upper class privilege and accompanying code of unaccountability was even more impenetrable. I left high school hating anyone who drank, thinking it turned people into assholes at best and predators at worst. It wasn’t until I was nearly 21 that I realized that booze isn’t the issue, it’s the people who use it as an excuse to be the monsters they’ve always been or aspired to be. I hope what’s happening to Kavanaugh is a shot across the bow for my former classmates and that they’re living in fear now.

Every year this one rich family vacations in my town and their poo poo-head kids do everything in their power to try to get arrested, but they know they won't be. They're banned from every business and college property (leaving about 5% of the town for them to actually be in), but they know they will get away with it. Last summer they decided to start picking up some of the camp kids (by the way these assholes are in their early twenties hitting on 14-16 year olds). Finally they got cuffed for solicitation of a minor and abduction! ...and then released the next morning, no charges pressed, no consequences. Rich fuckwad kids will do whatever they want because they know they can get away with it. Kavanaugh's no different and he and his friends had no problem bragging about it until now.

Some idiot my brother graduated with crashed his truck on a night out with his girlfriend. I don't recall whether or not they proved he was driving drunk underage or not. The cartilage in her nose gets really hosed up in the crash. So he calls his dad and they clean her up and dump her in her bed at home like nothing happened. Her nose was basically hanging off her face so their weak little cover up job doesn't work out and her parents sue them. Don't know what happened after that except the dad hired this scumbag attorney who is friends with my grandma, and he was acting like their actions probably seemed innocent and proper at the time.

Trump is basically the definition of rich white kid who was handed everything in life and can only fail upwards despite being an idiot and a gently caress up. This, unfortunately, has been true for most of human history. It's just jarring to see in the 21st century, and in a supposed advanced nation.

Skripal Suspect Boshirov Identified as GRU Colonel Anatoliy Chepiga quote:Bellingcat and its investigative partner The Insider – Russia have established conclusively the identity of one of the suspects in the poisoning of Sergey and Yulia Skripal, and in the homicide of British citizen Dawn Sturgess. The whole article is worth reading, Bellingcat is insanely good at this stuff
