Gamble vs US, the reason they are pushing through Kavanaugh

[edhopper]

They want to protect Trump and his cronies from State prosecution and give trump the power to complete pardons.
They need Kavanaugh on the Court before the case gets decided. It's why they simply don't drop him for another nominee, they know he will vote against the States.

4. Perhaps

You can still do the bidding of someone you hate, especially if they have a ledger showing exactly how much money you have taken from a foreign government!

My theory is that the Republican leadership has been taking money from Russia...money that was funneled through different shell companies over the years, possibly since the last Republican administration, and Putin being the KGB Colonel he's always been, has kept the books showing who got money and the amount they received. How else do you all of sudden go from hating the idea of Trump being president, like Graham, to spending your free time kissing his ass, like most of the Republicans are doing?

Graham is reported to have been given at least $800,000 by a man connected to Putin's oligarch friends!

So you see they may hate him, but as long as he holds all the cards, they will do what he tells them to!!!

2. that's the white

man fucking entitlement privilege thinking that they are immune to the law.
