Imagine, if you will, a man. A Republican man. And then imagine me talking to that man, after he claims he doesn't get what the big deal is about this whole "scandal."
Me: What's your favorite sport?
THEM: NCAA Basketball
Me: How's your bracket looking?
THEM: Not bad, not bad. It was worse last year, let's just leave it at that..........
Me: Okay, have you ever been watching a championship game and in the final seconds, the ref made a horrendous call, which lost the game for your team?
THEM: Happened a few years ago, yes.
Me: Now, I know that YOU don't bet on college basketball, but let's just imagine that you had a big wad of money riding on that game. Let's say it was your kid's college fund. How would you feel then?
THEM: I'd be pissed off.
Me: But, what would you DO about it?
THEM: Well, I'd scream bloody murder at the referee.
Me: But, what if the bad call wasn't reversed, and the referee wasn't fired, and you started expecting that the fix was in?
THEM: I'd scream bloody murder to the NCAA Commissioner.
Me: Okay, well what if thousands of people complained to the Commissioner just like you did, but it came out in the paper the very next day, that the Commissioner had been firing perfectly good referees and replacing them with people who were loyal to him. Referees that would make calls the way the Commissioner wanted, instead of following the referee's manual? And what if it came out later that one of those referees that was hired was the one who made that horrendous call that lost you that bundle of money? What would you do THEN?
THEM: I'd rip his fucking nuts off!!!!!
Me: Whose nuts?
THEM: The COMMISSIONER'S NUTS!!!!!
Me: Well, there you go. That's the US Attorney Purge scandal...............in a nutshell.
