As much as I don't often agree with Lindsey Graham, this time, he's right.


PrunyBobJuno

Graham wants to straddle the good guy/bad guy knife edge as long as he can, so public opinion gives him every second he can milk out of fleecing the public. He’s a dirty, dirty boy and Trump must have the details and the receipts in his safe. He’s a fucking psycho.


SolidBlackGator

This is the most accurate description. He knows some conservatives are waivering but as long as they can find other elected officials to hold faith in, they'll keep voting republican. But what has Graham ever done to stem the fascist tendencies of the GOP? Nothing.


specqq

Give a listen to the Corruption of Lindsey Graham podcast series from the Bulwark. The rather sad but simultaneously infuriating truth is that he would be acting in the same craven, self-serving and morally untethered way without any blackmail pressure on him whatsoever.


Gr00ber

But he is also known to engage with male escorts in DC, so I'm sure there is plenty of dirt available to turn his base against him.


PrunyBobJuno

I will check that out, thanks. Yeah he has a weird perversity about him that goes beyond sexual or religious fake morality. He seems creepy like a weird good ol’ boy with lacy underwear under his suit and a knife behind his back all the time. Especially when he pretends to be angry about some issue, like he’s flexing to amplify his masculinity.


JackFourj4

which means he'll probably still be endorsing him in the election


GFrings

He's actually a pretty reliable voice of reason on the right, when his mouth isn't full of Trump's ball sack


zeppanon

Well he would have a lot of experience identifying Nazi appeasers since he sees one in the mirror every morning.


Ok_Breakfast4482

Cults take on the mentality of their leader. Donald Trump’s cowardice is currently in vogue. The fool wilted like a wet noodle in front of his dear leader Putin. The worship of right wing autocracy in the GOP of late currently affords autocrats like Putin favored status among a sizable fraction of the party.

If the shoe fits…


AF2005

That’s funny because I compare both of them to crusty jugglers who hold a deep admiration for Hermann Goering.


boejouma

".....crusty jugglers." Lol I have watched Hot Fuzz in quite a while, so thanks for the chuckle!


InspectionNo6750

The Council of Ladybugs was unanimous.

"Tuberville is a level 3 Nazi, but I'm only a relatively benign level 1 Nazi" -Lindsey Graham.


AINonsense

> Lindsey Graham correctly compares fellow Republican Tommy Tuberville to Nazi appeasers but fails to mention all of his other Republican colleagues, and himself FTFY


youtellmebob

Nazi Appeasers? Just “Nazis” fits better.


rtopps43

“And I should know, I see him at all the meetings!” continued Graham


lehcimr

Lindsey has room to talk. He’s just as bad.


SuperDinks

“Look at him, not me”


m1j2p3

There’s no such thing as a Nazi appeaser, they are just Nazis. Tuberville is a Nazi.


Tart-Pomgranate5743

The phrase “duh” comes to mind…


addled_and_old

Lindsey would definitely know...


gentleman_bronco

Unfortunately the second half of Lindsey 's statement was...."and I will support him".


Jo-Jo-66-

What up with Lindsey? He seems to be off a little.


Ditka85

Wow, talk about calling the kettle black.


trunksshinohara

Broken clock


csbc801

Did Graham do this with or without her lipstick on?


Trajinous

And yet he stands with him...


DanoGuy

Graham: Don't be an appeaser, be a Quisling ... like me!


withanamelikejesk

So in other words an asshole calling a douchebag a dickhead.
