        I mean, I’d make the same joke about hulk hogan if there had been a parks and recs blooper about it. Assuming it is about her explicitly being a woman is a bit of a stretch.

          I love how the Connect app has user notes, so I can appreciate the irony that I already marked DragonTypeWyvern as “Sexist” before.

            Incels have accused me of that before, so that tracks.

            Apparently pointing out their sexism is the real sexism.

            For further details refer to the other dork getting mad at this comment chain to see the kind of company you keep.

          You, yes. Me?

          Probably a little, everyone is a product of their environment. I don’t immediately claim women I don’t know can’t have earned their intellectual accomplishments and must have traded sexual favors for them though.

          Seems pretty stupid, tbh, especially when her dad was famously a lawyer himself and she can certainly afford tutors.

            You: “Leave Britney Kim alone, you don’t know her, you’re sexist.”

            Also you: “I don’t know you but will call you sexist because I didn’t get the joke.”

            Also, did you just assume my gender?

    plans to leave fame behind

    Sssssuuuuuure you do. People like her are a fame tautology. They’re famous because their famous.

    A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn’t relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? “Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?”

    I don’t know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don’t get to live any dream you like.

      Remember that time she intentionally published her own sex video and then lied and said it was a leak?

      Or the fact that she willingly Married Kanye West…

      she might might relegate it to a PARTNER in law, she will advise said partner, rather than representing a case?

      I think her dad was a trial attorney. Maybe that has influenced her interest (and possibly there’s some hidden genetic talent there too).

        Yeah, defended some minor sportsman. It’s not like the family name only got famous through the blood of innocent victims or anything like that. The Kardashians were picked up by MTV back then only by pure happenstance.

          Wait, no - I was wrong. Not a trial attorney. Not even a licensed attorney at the time of the murder. He had to get his licenced renewed to be a volunteer assistant attorney on the OJ case. BUT did create MovieTunes, the business that brought you music between movies in the theater. Huh!

    Isn’t there an infamous video of her dad removing a briefcase (evidence) from OJ’s house in front of reporters? I’d be deeply suspicious of any lawyers from that lineage.

        Robert Kardashian was part of OJ’s defense. There was speculation that the bag contained evidence of the murders. When the bag was entered into evidence, its contents were not. Kim Kardashian claims she went through it at the time and it only contained toiletries.

          Sounds a lot like they got away with it. I’m not saying what they did is right, I just think it sounds like the perfect kind of lawyer for the federal admin of today.

          Because toiletries are naturally the kinds of things you find a briefcase, right?

            It was apparently described as a “Louis Vuitton bag”. I don’t know what it actually looked like.

    Kim Kardashian, Attorney General.

    Lmao. It’s already evil. Might as well make Dotard’s government hilarious too.

    Her dad is Robert Kardashian, who helped defend OJ for murder. Her wanting to become a trial lawyer isnt that surprising.

    edit: wrong robert, though Shapiro was also on the team

      Wait I thought Caitlin Jenner was her dad? (Well, mom now but you get what I mean.)

      I’m so confused about how that family works. Why do they have two last names? Divorce?

        Yep, they divorced and then mom married into the Jenners. Kim et al. were born when Robert was the dad though, so no last name change for them. The kids that came about after would have been called Jenner.

      Not 0% which is a crazy thing to speculate. I say that because she was friendly with trump while a$ap was in jail.

      I actually think she would be an improvement from the current DoJ…what a crazy time to be alive.

    Trial law is incredibly difficult. Even if you’re not chasing billable hours, you have deadlines, procedures, sleeping at the office, doc review, managing people, being managed by partners or other attorneys, travel….the list goes on.

    Only a few people stay in it, either for he money or they chase the stress.

    I suspect she will be used to bring attention to a law firm. It’s not unusual to have attorneys that do little work but have connections.

    People in this thread are judging her hard. Any other glass ceilings you want to put over her? I bet it fuels her desire to do this. She’s going to end up being the ultimate role model of anyone can aspire to do anything regardless of their past. I for one welcome her efforts to grow up and contribute to society differently than she has in the past.
