Kavanaugh incurred tens of thousands in credit card debt buying Washington Nationals tickets: report
The Hill ^ | 7/11/18 | By Emily Birnbaum

Posted on 07/11/2018 4:28:07 PM PDT by NohSpinZone

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh amassed tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt in part by purchasing baseball tickets to Washington Nationals games, according to a Washington Post review of Kavanaugh’s financial disclosures and information provided by the White House.

Kavanaugh has reported having up to $200,000 in credit card debt during the past 10 years, according to the Post's report. In 2006 — the year he was confirmed as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit — he reported having between $60,000 to $200,000 in debt.

Liberal math. In the last ten years based on 2006. OK.

Feel the spin. Feel the narrative. The horror. The horror.

Tell me how the media is not an "occupation media?"

Shouldn't we all be for liberating ourselves from the occupation?

Note the propagandistic phrasing. It sounds like he bought 10s pf thousands in baseball tickets.

Is this all the Democrats’ multi-million-dollar opposition-research team could come up with?

If so, Brett Kavanaugh should be nominated for sainthood as well as to the Supreme Court.

Yep. $1,666.66/month, over ten years. But put that way, it doesn’t have any shock value. Especially if he paid it back, on time. BUT $200,000 IN DEBT!! (Over 10 years)......the Lefty Low Info Voters will be VERY UPSET!!

Interesting. I carry about that in monthly expenses on my credit card as I use it to pay for everything. I also pay it off every month. So I guess I’m $200K in debt by the definition of these hack writers at the Hill.

...he reported having between $60,000 to $200,000 in debt.

So is it closer to 60 or 200?

Sorry, fanboys, but I have to add this poor judgment to what I already know about him morally, that he lied to protect the Clinton admin from having to deal with a murder case, making sure Foster was considered a suicide. Knowing that Foster definitely didn’t off himself in the park, it means there were others involved in Foster’s death, obviously (dead men don’t drive well), and Kavenaugh was eager to cover the suspicion right up.

So as good as he looks on paper to you, and sweet and homey as his speech was, he just MIGHT have some serious moral failings when you start to wonder.

Of course anyone should be able to use credit cards to buy sports tickets. I also do. But what tickets I purchase, at the end when the cc bill comes, I pay it in full. And I’m not a super smart judge. I don’t run up hundreds of thousands in debt over it. Not a man who follows sober decision making. He is a man moved by selfish interests, and I’m not happy with him as a choice.

He did it for the airline points. Smart thinking.


Omgosh. You guys. My dad used to put huge purchases on his cc for miles. But then he PAID THE BILL. He didn’t run up $200k debts over sports tickets!

[...according to a Washington Post review...]

[...amassed tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt in part by purchasing baseball tickets to Washington Nationals games]

[Kavanaugh has reported having up to $200,000 in credit card debt during the past 10 years...]

[In 2006.....he reported having between $60,000 to $200,000 in debt.]

[By Emily Birnbaum]

Emily (and probably Her Editors) spent some time writing/revising this screed to try to slant the reader towards believing that the maximum amount was squandered by this "Wastrel" Supreme Court nominee.

Emily and The Hill are clearly doing their very, very best to be "objective" Presstitutes!

Low by normal standards, for a guy in the professional classes.

Expected net worth is 10 times your salary divided by your age. That’s (211,00 * 10 ) / 53, about $400K. He apparently has less than 50K in financial assets.

He also taped a Washington Nationals baseball game without the expressed written consent of the Commissioner of Baseball.

I don’t know, how long did he carry the debt? Maybe it’s a nothing burger if he carried it for 2 months.
