'I Saved His Life': T---p 'Very Disappointed' in Kavanaugh's Failure to Help Him Steal Election

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-says-hes-very-disappointed-in-kavanaughs-failure-to-help-him-steal-election

President Donald T---p is trying to settle another score with someone he wrongly believes could have helped him steal the election. This time, he’s turned his fury toward the man he fought so hard to have installed onto the Supreme Court, Justice Brett Kavanaugh. T---p told author Michael Wolff that he feels badly let down by his SCOTUS pick.

“Where would he be without me? I saved his life,” T---p said in an interview with Woolf. “He wouldn't even be in a law firm. Who would have had him? Nobody. Totally disgraced. Only I saved him.”

The ex-president raged on: “I can’t even believe what’s happening. I’m very disappointed in Kavanaugh... In retrospect, he just hasn’t had the courage you need to be a great justice. I’m basing this on more than just the election.”

T---p defended Kavanaugh when he was facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct ahead of his confirmation, saying that his nominee was “the one who is actually being assaulted.” Wolff, whose new book Landslide hits shelves Tuesday, has previously been criticized for an over-reliance on anonymous sources and use of disputed quotations.

"I" saved him... he was supposed to be loyal to "me."


45 is all about the "I" and "me"

You need to ration your syllable-count. You'll exhaust yourself...

... this catches my attention:

"Wolff, whose new book Landslide hits shelves Tuesday, has previously been criticized for an over-reliance on anonymous sources and use of disputed quotations."

Just one example of the things that bother me about DB: they give a source for the meat of an article and then almost as a sop for the side, malign the source without citing even one source or an example.

1. Who's criticized Wolff?
2. What is an example?
3. Are they trying to impeach their own story? And Why?

exactly what he would say.

The problem is OVER fifty million Americans want Kavanaugh to violate the constitution and illegally install trump the traitor into office.

They dont care that it is illegal and wrong. THIS is what some of us screamed about YEARS ago but to no avail, the non stop TRASHING of Hillary continued anyway.

To this DAY I know folks on that side of the left who still bash her, who can BARELY say something nice about Joe or Kamala, THIS is why we wont survive.

Well, he'd be an appellate court judge, a pretty powerful position. He would likely not have been exposed as a partisan hack, sexual abuser, frat boy idiot. Sure people likely knew all of that stuff before the nomination, but when you get elevated to the highest court in the nation, you get put under a microscope. While I am sure Kavanaugh is enjoying the power of being a Supreme Court Justice, it isn't like he was plucked from the gutter and put into power. Trump turned Kavanaugh's life into a tabloid story just because he thought that Kavanaugh would actually be Trump's judge.

Kavanaugh is not Trump's judge, he is an ultra conservative trojan horse. Very horrible in his way, but not explicitly corrupt like a mob lawyer or a bought judge. Kavanaugh is about the work of the Federalist Society, not Trump's bidding.
