Is The Term "TrumpNik®" Simply Too Complex for Republicans to Understand? To GET The Joke? The Term Requires That a Person to be Familiar With SPUTNIK, a Russian Communications Satellite and BEATNIK, an American Social Group...

Since Most Republicans are High School Dropouts, They are Likely to NEVER HAVE HEARD THOSE WORDS... Well, Here is a Brief Explanation...

Sputnik and The Dawn of the Space Age

History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a beach ball (58 cm.or 22.8 inches in diameter), weighed only 83.6 kg. or 183.9 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path. That launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. While the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race.

Beatnik was a media stereotype prevalent throughout the late 1940s, 1950s to mid-1960s that displayed the more superficial aspects of the Beat Generation literary movement of the late 1940s and early to mid 1950s. Elements of the beatnik trope included pseudo-intellectualism, drug use, and a cartoonish depiction of real-life people along with the spiritual quest of Jack Kerouac's autobiographical fiction.

At those Senior Parties all the students were breaking the Law... Alcoholics Often Lie about their drinking... Brett didn't think anyone would NOTICE him lying or CHECK the facts...

In a wildly inappropriate and unprecedented move engineered by the White House, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh got a national hearing in front of the friendliest possible audience, Fox TV. But even in that set-up, where he was given every opportunity to demonstrate his good character and his fitness to serve, he lied. At least one very demonstrable time.

Asked about whether he ever drank at parties in high school, he said first, "When I was in high school […] I was focused on academics and athletics, going to church every Sunday at Little Flower, working on my service projects, and friendship, friendship with my fellow classmates and friendship with girls from the local all-girls Catholic schools." Getting that boy scout image thing down as his talking points told him to.

Then he said "And yes, there were parties. And the drinking age was 18, and yes, the seniors were legal and had beer there. And yes, people might have had too many beers on occasion and people generally in high school – I think all of us have probably done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe a bit, but that’s not what we’re talking about." False statement... LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!
