When Betsy DeVos, Mick Mulvaney, and Elaine Chao say they are leaving the Trump Administration because they have principles, but we all know it’s less than two weeks before they would be out of their jobs anyway and they just want to save their social standing and careers in the future. Plus, they have no principles or integrity.
These reputational laundering attempts coming out in the final hours of the Trump White House are fooling no one.

Kavanaugh's Reputation
When no amount of background checks can find any amount of dirt on you. When you've lived a good life and can defend every single decision you made. When every person who interacted with you has only good things to say about you.
- I wish I had reputation as flawless as Kavanaugh's
- Yeah, I know, if FBI went 36 years into your past they would've surely find some missteps.
- I know. Only an honourable man with flawless reputation, like Kavanaugh, can get on a Supreme Court.

A reputation nerd is a preson whose post count on a forum speaks about his lack of social life. He is very famous on that particular forum, altough 95% of his posts usually have no substance. He is not a troll, but can choose to be, and others will still tolerate it. His messages are the filler junk you have to scroll through to get to the useful posts about a subject. He replies to every subject on the forum, even if he doesn't know anything about it, just for the sake of commenting.

On occasion, other reputation nerds with not so much thousands of posts will agree with the dominant alpha-nerd just to get his approval, and that is the difference between him and a troll. But the reputation nerd doesn't care, or rarely shows any emotion at all. If he does show emotion, it is usually fake and exaggurated.
In this case, Kid A is the reputation nerd

Kid B (10 posts): I'm looking for this game (explains game)
Kid A (10 thousand posts): It's torchlight rofl
Kid B: Oh, thanks man
Kid A: no I was joking, it is not torchlight. I don't know what it is.
