Because They Lie Sometime Just For Practice
To be honest, one of the most soul-busting things that I believe happened under Trump was Brett Kavanaugh. I saw first hand not only the slippery intelligence of the man they put on the Supreme Court but also his character. Both were just a shiver looking for a spine to run up.
Now comes the story of Amy Chau, the self-described Tiger-Mom, who defended Kavanaugh with all her might. At the time, her glowing recommendations for Kavanaugh gave rise to suspicions that she was doing it only to get a SCOTUS clerkship for her daughter should Kavanaugh be approved.
She denied it. Even her daughter, Sophia Chua Rubenfield, did. A year ago —
We silly liberals, seeing closed-door deal making behind every Republican insider event.
Both mother and daughter denied it was ever happening and we were all just crazy, wild crazy, to suspect it would.
Yesterday:
So, when they deny something, write it down somewhere. It won’t stop them but it will help you keep your sanity and your Republican cynicism.
Thanks to Don A. for the heads up.
Yes, they lie without hesitation, without conscience, and without impunity.
1So out of surprises since before IQ4.5 descended the escalator. Old Scratch McConnell inoculated us into the perfidy of the Republicons. Merrick Garland. The ‘retirement’ of Justice Kennedy which of course had “nothing” to do with Kennedy’s son working for Deutsche Bank and a mega loan to a certain Individual1.
BTW fwiw Sophia, the JAG isn’t exactly “joining the army.” Ask Lindsey, if you have a free moment from being chased around the desk by Boofie.
2Some people will make their bed and lie in it.
But the well trained Tiger-Daughter? She can lie standing up too.
3When did the Republican Party merge with the American Gaslighter’s Association?
4I beleive that it was RBG in a recent speech that mentioned that beer bust brett was the first Supreme Court justice that had ever hired an all female staff.
5Do they, as people have commented on his past hires, all aspire to being models in appearence?
could this just be a “grooming” excercise by brett?
You can tell they’re lieing because their lips are moving.
6Wonder how the also-rans feel about this? Living where I do I know there are always long lists of candidates for these jobs and they are as ambitious as an political candidate. Too bad we can’t hear from them.
