A New York Times article scrutinizing inside jokes in the 1983 yearbook of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s Georgetown Preparatory School hid multiple problems with its claims, including that it was sourced to a rabidly anti-Trump politician in Maryland and his associate.
The article reveals inside jokes about a friend of Kavanaugh and his classmates named Renate Schroeder Dolphin. The classmates are featured in a picture with a caption “Renate Alumnius,” which the Times’ named and anonymous sources argue is bragging about sex. The classmates strenuously insist that the reference was nothing of the kind and that none of the men had sexual relations with the friend. They say that they attended each other’s dances and prep school functions and maintained the friendship throughout the next several decades.
The original article published online on Monday night was quickly scrubbed of a reference to a “Mr. Madaleno.” The Times uses full names on first references to sources and titles on second references, though it was the first time his name was mentioned in the article. The claim of sexual braggadocio is sourced earlier in the article to one named and one anonymous individual who claims to fear retribution. NewsDiffs, a site that tracks changes to articles at the New York Times, caught the rapid deletion of his name. Reporters Kate Kelly and David Enrich did not explain why it was removed.
Richard S. Madaleno Jr., a classmate of Kavanaugh’s at Georgetown Prep, is a state senator in Maryland who recently lost a bid for the Democratic nomination for governor. He garnered headlines for a campaign ad that featured him kissing his male spouse as a rebuke of Trump. ....

How many times must we do this drill? They simply continue to twist the truth into their latest lie.
Orwell's 1984 was long long ago. But we still have it.

Top definition of: Renate
A sweet, beautiful and loving girl, with an unique name. With a great personality. Pretty shy and loves long talks and cuddling. She isn't like all the other girls, she's very unique. She has high standards and is very caring. The type of girl every boy wants.
Could there be a higher complement of a girl? It did not imply a vulgar or obscene meaning that the NYT implied.
Certainly not surprising that The Slimes would hide facts.
Ad? Barf.
President Trump nailed it twice this week. First at the UN General Assembly, in his opening speech. He nailed it. Told them that the US would never surrender it's sovereignty to the UN or any other nation. Then today he nailed it with the lying press and their arrogance at the Press Conference. He showed them that they are NOT IN CHARGE. (Both were great addresses)
There needs to be serious, severe and permanent pain administered to those in the media that play at smear games.
I believe it started today in President Trump’s Press Conference. He nailed it. They are NOT IN CHARGE! Period.
He is by far the best President in my lifetime. I honestly believed no one could ever take that title from Ronald Reagan,. Reagan is still a favorite in my book, but Donald J. Trump has surpassed him, in my eyes.
Thank you. I totally agree.
And the crap he has had to endure. It is TIME to end that nonsense and actually punish the subversives he has silently fought for almost 2 years.
Before that I would think it was the girl’s actual first name.
Her real name was “Renate Schroeder Dolphin?” And she was nicknamed “Renate Alumnius.” Well, “alumnus” is Latin for “student.” The extra -i, I suppose, is affectation. I would assume that she was brainy.
Here is the stupid NYT article that caused all the controversy about the name:
Kavanaugh’s Yearbook Page Is ‘Horrible, Hurtful’ to a Woman It Named
This total nonsense is why we should never believe anything written in the NYT. (and many other sources)
