Trump Republican Party alt fact, Trump in the clear with his bootlicker judge, from NYT:

WASHINGTON — White House officials insisted on Thursday that Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, was not referring to Mr. Trump’s recent denigration of judges when he said privately that he was disheartened by attacks on the courts....

In reply to Thursday morning, former Sen.

That's interesting and strange because I happened to run across video of Trump discussing it last night on a news channel as I was surfing. (don't know where it was from, who was asking him to comment, sorry! It was clear it was from yesterday) and I thought it very clear that Gorsuch's criticism had affected him. It was like seeing a different Trump, minus the usual bombast and hyperbole. He was talking softly and reasonably, with no anger about the executive order, and he was emphasizing that he thought it was well written and worth defending, that he did it for the good of the country. He talked about getting expert input, stressed reading it over carefully--really stressed that, so he's taking the "doesn't read executive orders" criticism to heart-thought it "beautifully" written. He almost seemed sad. I have no way of knowing whether handlers prepped him for this new character and convinced him to do it. All I know is that I saw a different kind of Trump than any other time since inauguration.

In reply to Trump lashes out at

Thursday morning, former Sen. Kelly Ayotte -- Gorsuch's liaison to the Hill -- offered her own, more watered-down statement explaining that Gorsuch "made clear" that he was not "referring to any specific case," but that he said "that he finds any criticism of a judge's integrity and independence disheartening and demoralizing."

Surprise, the real story from TPM. If you or I had criticized the judge it would have been the same, sad.

Specifying the president would be an inexcusable counter-revolutionary action. It so less accountable to say "any" instead of "when the President".

surprise, surprise, surprise-NOT. This is what trolls do, exactly. From a stint as a volunteer online moderator, I learned: the # 1 golden rule: no personal attacks! Without that rule, everything falls to shit, trolling galore. Gorsuch knows how to behave: he attacked the statement, not the speaker.

Trump lashes out at Blumenthal for relaying Gorsuch's 'disheartening' comments

@ Politico 1 hr. ago

[....] “Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie), now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?” Trump responded Thursday morning on Twitter. He followed up with an attack on CNN for not pressing the issue during an interview with the Connecticut senator. "Chris Cuomo, in his interview with Sen. Blumenthal, never asked him about his long-term lie about his brave 'service' in Vietnam. FAKE NEWS!" Trump tweeted. [....]
