Another instance of Trump doing what he made it very clear he was going to do, and people act surprised. No shit Graham, Trump was a mistake and you supported him as hard as possible.
it’s kind of astounding Graham still thinks he’ll be safe.
Corrupt politicians and judges can help usher in a fascist dictatorship, but after that, the fascist dictatorship doesn’t really need them anymore.
I would be worried to be literally any Congress member right now. Not only are some of them actively breeding extremists, that they barely have a leash on. But once Trump eventually kicks the bucket, all of that rage will be unleashed upon them for everything shitty that’s happened since Trump took office.
Republican politicians are tying their own noose right now, and they don’t realize the threat will come from in their own house.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
👏,👏 Congrats, you want a cookie? /s
I’d like a cookie please
Sure, you actually deserve a cookie 🍪
Fight tyrants, get cookies! Woo! 🍪
He must have found where Trump hid one of his vertebrae.
Nah, he just does this every so often. He’ll say something surprisingly sensible and moral like this when speaking of the cuff or reacting to new events, and then quickly backtrack on it when he remembers what the GOP want him to say. He knows his usual stances on topics are wrong, he just forgets to keep that to himself occasionally. It’s extremely frustrating being one of his constituents.
Lindsey “I’m Captain Hindsight” Graham, everybody.
Thanks for the useless fucking commentary, Graham. Can I get the winning lottery numbers from three lotteries ago and yesterday’s weather, too?
Four cops were killed in that insurrection, right? Did he pardon their killers?
Hmmm not sure, but here some of the violent ones that were pardoned.
He pardoned people who got 20 year sentences for that shit? Wow. Thank you for the link.
Lindsey Graham breathing is a mistake.
Well yeah he has to say that because otherwise he won’t get media coverage. Asshole knew beforehand the other assnole was going to do it and didn’t say anything.
Let me check to see if Trump gives a fuck. Be right back. . .

He doesn’t.Okay…… this made me laugh out loud. Scared the cat.
Poor kitty!
I give it 24 hours, give or take, for Senator Spineless to remember who his masters are and publicly backtrack on this comment. It’s weirdly not rare for him to say something good and sensible like this, but it’s unheard of for him to not quickly denounce such statements in favor of the party line.
Without action, any republicans ‘tut tut’-ing trump is just blowing smoke. I care as much about this as Collins or Murkowski aggressively furrowing their brows at trump for 4 straight years.
Fun, lighthearted, fact: the term blowing smoke originates from an old drowning resuscitation practice, in which blowing smoke up the butt of a drowning person was supposed to bring them around.
Obviously it didn’t work, but people still did it for a long time in spite of that, and thus “blowing smoke up my ass” as a phrase to mean being intentionally dishonest.
A little context; This began as American First Nations medical tech. Tobacco smoke enemas were used to treat a variety of conditions, including constipation, bowel obstruction, and colic. They eventually abandoned this because of the toxicity of nicotine. The drowning bit was a last resort treatment. We don’t have any info on it ever working. As far as old medicine goes this isn’t the biggest offender.
Ladybugs were a mistake.
From “I’m sure he’s learned his lesson” to this. Republican Senators really give off that “I actually don’t give a shit, I’m here for the paycheck” vibe.
They aren’t there for the paycheck, they’re there for the payoffs.
Graham in particular.
As far as I can see, he has no principles or ideas of his own. When they need a sound bite, whoever owns him (or maybe just whoever’s renting him this week) swaps his gimp suit for a three piece suit and takes the ball-gag out of his mouth, then trundles him out in front of the cameras to deliver a canned statement.
so do something about it? impeach him, or even pass a resolution denouncing it
I literally couldn’t care less what this spineless piece of garbage thinks.
