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.
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.
What a coincidence: I think Lindsey Graham’s birth was a mistake.
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.
so do something about it? impeach him, or even pass a resolution denouncing it
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.
it’s kind of astounding Graham still thinks he’ll be safe.
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.
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!
lindsey, you lost all credibility in 2017, so please, shut the fuck up
You’re going to have to roll that date waaayyyy back.
oh sure. he’s never been credible. but everyone lost any reason to not know that in trump’s first week in office
Ladybugs were a mistake.
Lindsey Graham breathing is a mistake.
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.
His meemaw was very upset about it.
I literally couldn’t care less what this spineless piece of garbage thinks.
If only there were some indication that this is what he wanted to do so Lindsey could have encouraged people to vote against him.
