The question isn’t whether Michael Wolff is a nice person. The question is whether he’s accurately reporting events and statements made. I mean, I’ve met Carl Bernstein and he’s an asshole. Didn’t make him wrong about Nixon.
So we are stuck watching the Game of Assholes play out.
The Game of Assholes is my favorite TV show – for me to POOP ON!
When you play the game of assholes, you poop or you die.
So do y’all think that Kavanaugh learned this from watching Trump, or is it just endemic to jackasses like them?
This may be the most back-scratching-est administration in US history! #MAGA!
And don’t forget Kavanaugh had a lot of debt mysteriously paid off (thousands of dollars on baseball tickets? Please) and while I don’t want to go full CT and don’t generally dislike Justice Kennedy, his son’s involvement in Deutchse Bank is concerning.
Truly, this all could have innocent explanations. Maybe they have been revealed and I just missed the stories. But there’s a lot of quacking and a lot of feathers about Kavanaugh’s ascension so I don’t feel it’s out of bounds to at least think about ducks.
Isn’t this a case of “It’s who you know”?
Kavanaugh Has a history of hiring women…but only very good-looking women. Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld is a remarkably attractive young woman. The whole situation gives me the creeps.
“I am a big big mentor to young lawyers, especially women lawyers. No fatties or uggos, please.”
Well, of course it’s not. The correct version is: It’s whom you know.
Christ a-mighty. Chau-Rubenfeld’s MOTHER, the original “tiger mom” and Yale Law School prof, supposedly told students that Kavanaugh hired female clerks who “looked like models,” and offered privately to give them advice on how to tart themselves up for him.
Is this some weird daughter-pimping thing?
Kavanaugh has a history of hiring women whom Amy Chua has groomed by telling them how to dress and act sexy to appeal to him.
Others were, um, skeptical. And now, less than a year later, the skeptics were proven right.
Amy Chau has, and continues to deny any impropriety.
OMFG what a shock: someone associated with the Trump campaign sees nothing wrong with bending rules and taking unfair advantages, but somehow needs to lie about having done so… totally didn’t see that coming. :rolleyes:
Three posters in a row passing off unsubstantiated rumors as fact.
What’s “unsubstantiated” about the report that Chua-Rubenfeld will be clerking for Kavanaugh? About the other parts of it, ISTM quite clear from these posts and the previous ones that everyone discussing them is aware that Kavanaugh’s reputation for bad behavior with women is based on multiple rumors but no definitive proof.
Not sure why your panties are so bunched about people’s speculating about rumored bad behavior, in a Pit thread no less. Is there some reason you think it’s okay to spread unproven speculation about, for example, why people don’t like Ocasio-Cortez but not about why people don’t like Kavanaugh?
Oh, right :smack:
So the fact that Sophia is now clerk for Kavanaugh after Amy vigorously defended him during his confirmation hearing does not strike you as fishy at all?
The man’s far too busy trolling to worry about fish.
“Trawling”, amirite? Right? <tap, tap> Is this thing on?
Another person who will be convinced that she has succeeded in life on her own merits.
Trolling ‘is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water.’
Hence, ‘internet troll’.
