That yearbook, though. Can't stop thinking about his yearbook.

And how it reflected his state of mind at the time.

"Renate Alumnus" and "Devil's Triangle" in particular.

It literally made a chill run down my spine thinking about it.


And to think he had the audacity to blame his fucking high school yearbook staff yesterday.

My brother...who is also a former drunk womanizer...used to use this phrase...
He called it...
Find em
Finger em
Fuck em and
Forget em.
He and his pig buddies used to say the 4F’s all the time in high school and college.

Most guys just call the game of quarters,,,, quarters.
Devil’s Triangle generally means a sexual threesome of two men and one woman.

My school was in India and we did not have year books. Schools were over crowded and most could not afford to buy year books.

So my question is are the year book editors in school allowed to edit comments by the individual students?

Most of the things are cryptic in-jokes, however.

And I haven't ever heard of a yearbook staff actually adding salacious content, which is--honest to God--what Kavenaugh claimed yesterday.

...and that alone should disqualify him from sitting on any judicial bench.

Before I got sober 15 years ago, I drank with the best of them for DECADES. In all that time, I never once heard of a drinking game called "Devils Triangle" and I've played them all. The "Renate Alumnus" lie is an even bigger load of shit, yet he sat there and spewed it out of his mouth just as easily and calmly as you please.

And those despicable Repugs sat there listening to that garbage and KNEW he was full of shit but didn't give a fuck.

The overall length of the text is incredible. I've never seen that in a yearbook.

This is a guy who went to Yale, but he has sports but no other school activities in his profile. No student government, debate club, national honor society, spanish club etc. Maybe these activities are posted elsewhere but if not, so weird. It would seem like someone who was so intellectual would want some of those clubs.

Other than sports, the rest of the text is semi cryptic notes of "good times" in high school. But some are blatant. I worked on yearbook in high school - a teacher advisor reviews all of the content - how did some of this content even get approved?

He was asked about a handful of these notes, and lied about the meaning of several of them. If he were being investigated, they would have asked him about every single one, they would compare with other students including Judge to see what others said. They would interview the other students. Lots would be learned that way.

Lastly, the notes simply convey the kind of person he was. Yesterday conveyed he hasn't changed much.
