From Yale newspaper:

"Legacies often know how to play the admissions game well, though, and many, like Ryan Sahn ’08, use their legacy status as a strategic advantage over competition. Sahn, whose mother and grandfather are Yale alumni, applied early to Yale. Sahn said he would not have applied early decision to Yale were it not for his legacy status."

If grandparents don't count, it would have be irrelevant for the article.

So back to you. Regardless, you're moving the goalposts. Kavanaugh's claim was he had no "connection" to Yale. He did. That claim was absolutely false, and unless he didn't know where his grandfather attended school, it was knowingly false and made under oath.

I’m moving nothing. You’re planting goal posts in quick sand. The MOTHER in that quote was the legacy connection. Without that you’re damn right the grand parents don’t count.

Prove admission assistance or GTFO

Basically he's a despicable human who represents nothing you would ever want a child to aspire to be. Some find that off putting in a president.

So just to be clear, you wouldnt want you son to become a successful billionaire, who has powerful connections all over the world, to have a beautiful family and become president?

Most of us don’t GAF as long as he does his job and he’s doing that in spades. Already completed more in 1.5 yrs than Big Ears Barry did in 8.

By "most of us" you mean the red hatters. We already know you don't GAF about anything beyond immediate pocket book issues and a more 1950's looking America. The rest of us DO GAF.

I would never in a million years wish Trump's life and values on my son.

1950s looking America would be great. Sadly, we now have purple haired people with face tattoos and bones through their noses and that’s totally acceptable these days. No mental issues at all with that perfectly normal bunch...

See second q&a in this interview with Yale president. Grandparents count as legacies. So, about the GTFO thing, so unbecoming of a frustrated debater.

That rock and roll is the devil's music. And what's with these girls piercing their ears? The world's going to hell in a hand basket.

All this is a classic poor loser. It's not so much about Trump but it's the fact it ain't the hildabeast. It's icing on the cake for them that it's Trump. They can't fathom their comunosocialist leader lost to Trump.

Instead of asking why, they throw tantrums and try to destroy anything good. They have to try to pull others down to their level of misery. It's a sad existence. I almost feel sorry for them but then I realize they brought it on themselves.

A) No seriously. GTFO if you’re going to play that weak case. You’d get laughed at in a debate.

B) On grandparents.
L: There are people at Yale who can trace their ancestry back to some of the earliest students, but I don’t know which family has the longest run of consecutive generations at Yale. It would be interesting to pose this as a question to your readers. It would be nice to hear from anyone whose family has been represented at Yale for, let’s say, six or more consecutive generations.

Dads not sending money to Yale in this context. There’s zero evidence of admission assistance here. Zero.

What? Once again you're proving my point. You guys claim this whole thing was a democratic hit job, but then you turn around and admit that some republicans are now on the fence that would have voted for him if not for the hearings.

You really are this dumb? It was a dramatic hit job. Even considering the possibility that she the accusers weren't hired, the Ds had this for a month and a half. They had her accusation while they were questioning him the first time. They could have had their investigation for as long as they wanted it, but it wasn't about her. It wasn't about him.

It was about slowing this down. It was about politics when they were the weak and powerless party. It's always been about stalling, hoping to take midterms, and voting against him no matter what.

It was always the Ds. All of the Ds posturing for the media while congratulating her as a hero and calling him an evil rapist. It was all of the Ds that treated him with a presumption of guilt. Said he has references to gang rape in his yearbook.

Just because a couple of RS are slow playing it now as a result of the Ds creepshow doesn't mean the Ds didn't put on the creepshow.

It's amazing. You really, genuinely are this dumb.

Dude, it's clear that having a grandparent alumnus qualifies you for legacy status at Yale. That's clear from the article. There's also nothing to indicate that the failure of an alumnus (grandpa) to donate can rob an applicant (Lyin' Brett) of legacy status. Finally, the claim was he had no "connection" to Yale. He has a clear connection to Yale. End of discussion. You need to sober up before you continue this because you're not processing info. You out drinking with Bart?

I fully expect Jim Jordan to have three years of congressional hearings on staffer updates to urban dictionary entries.

Non sequitor or disingenuous deflection? I’ll let you decide.

You should start a go fund me for that staffer and put your 20 bucks in there. Mad Max is gonna dime her out and she majorily took one for the team.

No I meant anybody who could objectively quantify the health of the US economically and security wise. And that definitely leaves you moonbats out.
