À propos de Kavanaugh

While watching Brett Kavanaugh on TV last night, I realized deep down he's just a pathetic excuse for a person.  A Supreme Court nominee who acts like a high school kid who has been caught cheating.  I have the impression that his whole life and career depended on dirty secrets and lies.  Probably Kavanaugh, Drumpf and their partners thought that by concealing 90% of the "Kavanaugh papers" they could safely rush the Senate into a quick nomination.  The longer this process takes, more allegations of all kinds will come up.  Once again, I can't get over the fact that a potential Supreme Court judge is a lying, spineless, schmuck.

The Drumpf wall

--Lyrics adapted from Pink Floyd's The Wall 

We don't need
  no fabrications
We don't need
  no more vitriol
No more poison
  in the newsroom
Donald leave
  people alone
Hey!
  Donald!
  Leave people alone!
All in all you're just
  another schtick in your wall.
All in all you're just
  another schtick in your wall.

We don't need
  no fabrications
We don't need
  no more vitriol
No more poison
  in the newsroom
Donald leave
  people alone
Hey!
Donald!
  Leave people alone!
All in all you’re just
  another schtick in your wall.
All in all you're just
  another schtick in your wall.

Character singing.
A man sings.  He is not a singer.  In fact, he sings terribly but he likes to sing and he does with enthusiasm.  He's not embarrassed by his lack of singing ability.  He doesn't care about his wife's reactions either.  He just sings from his heart and doesn't give a damn about the rest of the world.
For instance, Jack Nicholson in Heartburn.

Employers get a free lunch out of you, and more than that.

Working on weekends
for no extra pay,
feels like quite the end,
effort without pay,

"Job basis", "exempt" or some other kind of BS.  It means working overtime without getting paid for overtime.  It works that way.  They classify your job as managerial even if you don't manage anybody or they argue that you're getting paid too much to "deserve" overtime pay.  It's unfair.  It's demeaning.  It insults your intelligence. But it's legal illegal.  The law is wrong,  The law allows employers to squeeze all the juice they can out of you and then throw you away, like you'd to with a lemon.
