the GOP often doesn't put people into positions of power unless they are compromised and can be controlled through extortion.
Putin does it to Trump
the GOP does it to Kavanaugh, and no doubt intended to keep doing it when he was on the SC
Look at Mitch McConnell. Almost certainly gay, he never steps out of line and continues being an enormous demon.
Lindsey Graham. Almost certainly gay, he has now been brought to heel by this cabal.
Dennis Hastert. Elevated to a position of leadership despite a total lack of charisma (that I could find). His one advantage? A child molester, he could be controlled.
Clarence Thomas. Sexual predator, yet amazing consistent in his commitment to being an awful anti-human on the SC. Hmmm.
John Roberts? One wonders.
Kavanaugh's crimes made him the perfect SC nominee for the organized crime syndicate currently in charge of our country. A made man, with no room to repent and do anything good for the country (as if he ever wanted to).

(56,828 posts)I've heard rumors about Graham for years, but never McConnell? He also has 3 children from his first marriage.

(11,254 posts)but I've read recently that he may have had a gay discharge from the military, and that his current marriage is a beard.
I may be guilty of passing on false rumors about McConnell. maybe he really is just that shitty of a person.

(11,254 posts)how they are extorting people carefully under wraps.
That's becoming a less viable strategy now that women are coming forward more. Thank you to them.

(64,985 posts)A supplicant. Gets to SCOTUS despite a highly sketchy past by doing exactly what he was told.
It's a logical point of discussion, at the least.
