The New York Times published a long story about Deborah Ramirez’ experience with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s during his time at Yale and found that yes, actually, it was the talk of the freshman class and his literal dick-swinging happened on at least one other occasion. Liberals, however, care less about that than they do about the newspaper’s since-deleted tweet promoting the story, which began, “Having a penis thrust in your face at a drunken dorm party may seem like harmless fun,” a construction that indicated its author has warped definitions for the words “harmless” and “fun.” Trump responded to the story in stable genius fashion, rage-tweeting that Kavanaugh “should start suing people for liable, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue.” Easy-to-reach conclusion: The wrong people are being kept in cages.
