Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yes, she really is this stupid.
Maybe she can't fake being smart.
She's so bad at faking smartness that she can barely be dumb.
Evil, that evil.
It’s just mind boggling, someone who went to school for at least six years and passed the bar could actually be that dumb. Arrogance that suggests Dark Triad?
As they say- do you know what they call the person who comes last in medical school? Doctor.
Still, the bar exam is no easy peasy task! Unless they bribed the proctor, which is also possible but I’m trying not to go full tinfoil hat!
It’s one thing to be “smart” enough to memorize answers to a test. Hell, I’m damn good at it myself. But it’s another thing to have common sense and good judgement. Obviously this lawyer is a prime example of being one and not the other.
Yup, my high school valedictorian was the dumbest person I've ever met. But she could regurgitate information on a test without understanding it.
I never thought I was smart or dumb, just like a really, really good test taker. I didn't retain close to what I should have from my university years.
Same. Pretty much I retain information just long enough for it to be useful, then I forget it as soon as I start learning/doing something else.
You can not memorize the bar exam.
How else do you explain being able to pass any exam, bar or not, if you do not memorize answers? Granted, I'm not suggesting that anybody knows the exact questions on any exam, but rather that you study material that gives you the answers to whatever questions may be asked.
I'm guessing it's easier in some states than others and I'm also guessing she chose an easy state.
I retract you can not memorize a bad exam. Thinking of Miriam Bialik’s photographic memory. Agree some states have low bar exams🤣.
And that is the difference between ‘knowledge’ and ‘wisdom’.
