3. I wish I had known this before I got into w/ my a-hole uncle

He's a Trumpbot and Kavanaugh apologist extraordinaire. I was wondering why he texted me out of the blue this afternoon. I threw this latest Kavanaugh scandal in his face but he used a crapload of laughing emojis (like a friggin' 12-year-old) and dismissed it as "fake news". I didn't think anything of it at the time because he always dismisses any news item that puts the felons and ReThugs he worships in a bad light as "fake news". And then this comes to light.

I don't give a damn what he thinks, but I hate giving him free ammo like this. Why can't NY Times fact check this stuff first? There's no doubt that Kavanaugh is a lowlife scumbag, but a muck up of this magnitude only serves to makes him like exactly what a-hole cons like my uncle have been whining he is the whole time: The hapless victim of an unscrupulous, politically-driven witch hunt. He's NOT, of course, but that's the kind of crap we're gonna hear all over again.
