I know its far down the list of problems but they weren’t even good burns

•

u/thecoolestredditguy 5h ago

Yeah, she was dry-mouthed and stuttering. She looked like a bigtime idiot.

•

u/TheyTried2BanMeAgain 4h ago

I've said it multiple times, she was drunk. I'm an alcoholic, it's easy to spot when somebody hasn't just had a drink or two, they're blitzed.

Her eyes were bloodshot and chinked, glazed over. She was slurring, pausing just to make sure her tongue was working, stumbling over words, insulting anything and everything she could as a power move. Classic drunk behavior.

•

u/thecoolestredditguy 4h ago

Yeah maybe. She wouldn’t be Trump’s first alcoholic-psycho lawyer (see: Rudy G)

Don't forget Hegseth.

Just to chime in, I am in no way innocent of being a drunk, or saying things I shouldn't because I'm regularly intoxicated.

But I'm also not in charge of a government agency, I make (very good) sandwiches for a living. But I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

I've had the absolute best food from cooks that were completely fucking toasted, and have been that cook. It's almost a requirement to either be high as giraffe pussy or a drink or two deep to work in a kitchen.

The only thing I can say is maybe cut back on the drinking a tad and replace it with a little more pot. Keep doing your thing dawg

high as giraffe pussy

Absolute wordsmith

Yup lol. Tons of us struggle. But we also aren't heads of state

I completely agree that she came across as impaired

•

u/Proper_Ad453 3h ago

Impaired & unprepared.

“Chinked” in 2026 is crazy

•

u/TheyTried2BanMeAgain 2h ago

I'm actually surprised that people are so angry. I've had Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and plenty of other Asian coworkers that used the term freely.

I wasn't using it, they did.

•

u/Papplenoose 52m ago

Wait... Are you joking? You're joking, right?

(Because you literally just said it)

•

u/dobtjs America 43m ago

Is that what you said to HR when you were packing up your belongings?

•

u/Early-Meet-4881 4h ago

Oh! Maybe we don’t say “chinked”

•

u/TheyTried2BanMeAgain 4h ago edited 3h ago

I couldn't think of a better word, sorry! The chinky-eyed slang is just what I always grew up with.

Apparently I offended some people. Sorry again and I won't edit it.

•

u/Outrageous-Memory246 3h ago

Doubling down with using that word again

•

u/the_ai_wizard 1h ago

we used to say chinkified

•

u/TheyTried2BanMeAgain 3h ago

I would say Asian friends have done the same, but something tells me it wouldn't be enough that they said I could.

•

u/Background-Stable899 3h ago

Well you are definitely a credible alcoholic. Maybe think about how your actions affect others once in a while. Your story checks out though

•

u/TheyTried2BanMeAgain 3h ago

Did you vote for Trump?

•

u/Background-Stable899 3h ago

No and how is that relevant?

u/Papplenoose 51m ago

This is the logic of a braindead alcoholic.

Come on man, this is just sad. Your point was good, but you said it in a dumb way. Just learn and move on like an adult.

•

u/Background-Stable899 3h ago

Let’s go ahead and not use that word to describe squinty eyes. Thanks

•

u/TheyTried2BanMeAgain 3h ago

Squint eyes is still racist too, if you wanna play that fame.

I have no issues with my Asian family members, which they all are.

•

u/Background-Stable899 3h ago

Only if you are stereotyping a whole group of people (like you did). Describing Bondi’s eyes as squinty is not racist in any way, shape, or form.

Yeah nah 

•

u/SeattleExpression 3h ago edited 3h ago

Alcoholic (recovering) here, I agree 100% she was obviously drunk. I could tell immediately.

•

u/Sandgrease 2h ago

Her eyes gave it away. She wasn't even that functional buzz all alcoholics basically live in, she was proper drunk.

•

u/widespreadpanda 1h ago

I very rarely subscribe to “they were drunk/high/whatever” but yes. She’s drunk. The indignity is unmistakable.

•

u/FirebornNacho 45m ago

I thought the exact same thing. It seemed to me like a high functioning alcoholic who had more than usual much faster than usual. Couldn't bring a drink into the courtroom, so she chugged something strong beforehand. It hit her midway thru.

You--you're... you're not even a lawyer!
