I felt the same about Brett Kavanaugh. A lot of us know Brett. We don't like Brett. Brett is a bully, a sneak, an unserious person, and a suck-up to the powers that be. He doesn't have an original thought in his brain but can be counted on to do whatever underhanded job is required of him. In a regular occupation, he'd wreck the lives of people in his immediate orbit. Elevated by Trump, he's helping to wreck democracy.
Just like Pete Hegseth.

He reminds me of Matt Gaetz. And that's about the biggest insult I could throw at him.

Trump's iron fisted control of our future with no one to stop him terrifies me.
