None of these conversations actually occur but people autistically picture it
1. CIA sitting the president down and telling him whether aliens exist and all the Details
2. Defense attorneys asking their clients if they did it. Laymen don’t realize that ALL of the defense attorney’s clients did it and he’s been through the wringer 1000k times. Why tf would it matter anyway lol

These days I think everyone imagines that everyone else's life is like a Netflix TV show with snarky millennial dialogue and they try to set up their own lives like that too but obviously it never works that way

god knows how this president does it, but most senior exec branch pols get formal verbal brief meetings from bureaucrats that can get pretty adversarial

What constituted acing OCI? Was a v10 offer enough? Or was it Wachtell, Cravath, or bust?
If I only applied to one v10 and got an offer, does it count as acing it if I only used the interview as a way to get a paid trip to NYC for the weekend?

I’m talking about the kind of stuff that people picture that doesn’t happen. No one had pictured what you’re talking about except political science majors

I don’t want to Out him. She’s doing crazy shit on her own volition. I mean as the Patriarch he’s complicit on some level. So yeah he’s “having” her do these things.

Frank conversations are happening every day in corridors of power. The amount of backbreaking work and intellectual scaffolding required to maintain civilization is immense and underappreciated by ordinary people. Which is fine.
