It does make sense, and it's not silly.

Devil's triangle is not a drinking game, it's a sex game.

Conservative men who support this liar are therefore invited to "trust" him---by sending their young daughters to a frat where they will play Devil's etc.

It's as always, one of Fugelsang's nail on the head jokes. Perfect and succinct.

How many people you know get this level of embarrassment from a 35 year old yearbook? He started out well enough admitting it was embarrassing but compounded it by manufacturing obviously stupid back story excuses. Even if his hippocampus did not register what happened all those years ago in a drunken cloud unlike Dr. Ford he compounds his awful late adolescent abuse.

A made up game of quarters with three cups arranged in a triangle. The rules are unknown because the inventor of the game, Brett Kavanaugh, could not explain them under oath.




And a new word was added: Kavanauseous - The feeling you are ready to vomit after going 100 kegs or bust at Beach Week.
I’m gonna be a member of the Beach Week Ralph Club for sure! Man o’ man, am I Kavanauseous!

who would blame her. There are parents like that; I know, my mother was one. Something similar happened to me and I didn't dare tell my parents. My mother's only question would have been "What were you doing at a party where kids were drinking?"

on their lies because they know The Devil's Triangle is not a drinking game. They would never send their beloved female family members because they know it's a sex game.

Republicans simply don't care. They aren't people with a different view on the role of government or tax policy. They're bad, rotten to the core people. There, I said it.

in reply. This smacks of the patriarchy. Men do not own "their" wives or daughters. I get what he's trying to say but he could have/should have found a better way to phrase it.

the wives and daughters of the senators, etc, not to indicate possession in a legal or moral sense. "Their" wives and daughters" would be the ones they care most about. Same as you would say "their sons and husbands".
