Kamala did pass the California Bar exam–on her second try. Now the overall pass rate for first time California Bar exam takers is in the low 50’s–the 2021 summer bar exam had a 53% pass rate. California is the home of a lot of 2d tier, 3rd tier and even 4th tier law schools–and those schools graduates get slaughtered.

But the first time Bar exam pass rate for graduates of Stanford Law, UCLA Law and Boalt is usually in the 93 to 96% range. The first time Bar exam pass rate for Hastings Law graduates is typically in the mid 80’s–a lot better than some schools–but worse than the top 3.

Law graduates have been taking Bar exam review courses before the exam for at least 50 years now—I took the review course before taking the Bar exam in 68. (I passed–but I finished reading the review outlines the night before the Bar exam). If you are somewhere in the middle or towards the bottom of your class–as I suspect Kamala was at Hastings, being lackadaisical (not to mention lazy) during your Bar exam review prep is a good way to fail on your first try. You dig harder the second time and maybe you pass–as Kamala did.

This woman is scared as hell because she, deep down inside, more than anyone else, knows she’s incompetent.

As to being scared, darn straight she is. KH is terrified because she KNOWS her reasoning, logic and interpersonal skills are on par of a mid-level manager at the California DMV.

The Obama people were exceptionally incompetent, too, but the merdia glossed over shit all the time.

Remember when the Brit PM visited, with the ceremonial “exchange of gifts”… the PM brought a desk set which came from the timbers of a sister ship of the Resolute, which was the base timbers used for the desk in the Oval Office. For the last 100+ years.

The “gift” from Obama was… 200 movies on DVD, with a DVD player.

Not only is that “gift” lame by comparison, the truly clueless part was that the DVDs and the DVD player were American — meaning that they were neither compatible with Brit power, but American TV is NTSC, not the PAL used in the UK.

My own PERSONAL guess is that they told one or both of their daughters to do it, without grasping that there are protocol experts who routinely do this kind of thing. You could have involved the daughters in it, after having the protocol experts propose a number of suitable options, let them pick it, which would also teach them about a subtle but moderately complex aspect of international relations. But instead they embarrassed the USA.

They did it again when they visited the Queen.

1 — forget what gift she brought, but the gift for HER was an iPod loaded with Obama’s speeches… (insert painful eye-roll, here)
2 — Michelle, like the moron she is, touched the queen in a palsy, we’re all friends kinda way. One of the FIRST things any protocol expert would tell you is really really simple: NEVER TOUCH THE QUEEN unless she asks you to, or at least has tripped and is about to fall and hurt herself.

The third example of incompetence is when Teh One BOWED to foreign leaders. How effin’ CLUELESS do you have to be to grasp that, not only are YOU, the PotUS, not some random bozo off the street who needs to not upset “Der Leader” of whatever Insignifistan you’re visiting, you are the President of the richest, most powerful nation in the entire world. You do not “bow” to any other human on Earth…. Bowing is a sign of SUBMISSION. You are not submitting to these assholes. The only reason they’re not bowing to YOU is because Americans are not complete dicks and forcing everyone to knuckle under 24/7/52
