I have been told by two sources that years ago Brett Kavanaugh experimented with pineapple on pizza.
One time Brett Kavanaugh brought 18 items into the 15 items or less line... then paid with a personal check.
Brett Kavanaugh leaves the seat up.
DEVELOPING STORY: Sources have told me that Brett Kavanaugh wore white shorts on September 5th, 2017. The day AFTER Labor Day.
Sources have told me privately that on more than one occasion he failed to fully rewind his rented VHS tapes.

I don’t see the “pretty funny” here. Nor is this actually trending on twitter. Why lie?

Yeah, it is actually trending on Twitter.
And, it’s pretty funny because it shows that while the Dems want to demonize this man, they’ve got nothing.

It’s why you can’t get a security clearance with that balance sheet.

He also had no means of paying all that debt off at once. And the WH does not say inheritance or other legal windfall. They say repaid for baseball tickets. Really?

And no— 200k in credit card debt with a HHI is not normal. Educational debt? Maybe. But not mid 50s and not credit cards.

Because no bank would give a UMC DMV person that much unsecured debt, with that HHI. His balance sheet shows he was on the verge of Chapter 11 (chapter 7 is for the Poors).

Tell me what law Karavanaugh broke by paying down his debt. He would lose his security clearance if he is unable to, or refuse to, pay down his just obligations. Never heard of someone losing security clearance by following the law.

200K worth? When that's your annual salary?

Mystery money. Where did the mystery money come from to pay off his debts? That’s not “fake news.” That’s a big dang deal.

Generally, the problem is if Kavanaugh didn't disclose his debt and someone, somehow discovered he lied on the disclosure form. No one's suggesting he lied. And if you can't imagine how someone could pay off a $200,000 cc debt legitimately, it's probably due to your lack of imagination, wishful thinking - or more likely your politics getting in the way of critical thinking. I can imagine many ways in which someone could pay down his or he rdebt, so this is a non-issue until someone on the left can be more specific about what Kavanaugh did that is so illegal.

And no one is saying he did anything illegal - yet. It’s just eyebrow raising, and not the judgment you want to see in a current federal judge and Supreme Court nominee, for him to have only mid-five figures in assets outside of his retirement and personal residence, and with all the past debt, and with all the debt suddenly paid off. Bad things happen when judges are broke.

He's been a judge for a long time, been in public service even longer. If this is all you've got, if this is all Washington Post has got - that he took care of his just legal obligations - I think he'll be fine.

This was day 2. You think everything is out already? OK.

+1. WaPo does death by a thousand paper cuts. See also: Scott Pruitt and Trump/ Russia. Wait for it... next news drop in the next week.

Yeah. They probably hired 20 people to research his background in an attempt to dig up any dirt they could find. Like they did with Trump. Good luck with that.
Democracy dies in Darkness, my foot.

Democracy dies at the WaPo. Their new slogan should be “Republican? We’ll investigate. Democrat? Nothing to see here."
