I suppose that the hoary old cliche, “better late than never” is applicable here. Trump fluffer extraordinaire Lindsey Graham finally decided to throw in the towel on his golfing buddy the insurrectionist.
Graham: When Wisconsin's Supreme Court rules 4 to 3 on Trump's election challenge, "I agree with the 3 but I accept the 4. If Al Gore can accept 5-4 and he's not president, I can accept Wisconsin 4 to 3."

Graham on calls for Pence to reject Biden's win: "If you're a conservative, this is the most offensive concept in the world. That a single person could disenfranchise 155 million people."

To paraphrase Shakespeare: “Politicians. Nature gave you one face and you paint yourselves another” — and then you go on, repainting and repainting to suit the whim of the moment. I don’t know who or what to believe anymore, but I do know I don’t believe much of anything coming out of Lindsey Graham’s mouth and that has been the case for quite some time.
Too little, too late.
Whatever.
I’m sorry, this sounds rude. I am just fed up with what a Republican has to say about anything.
No worries. Lindsey is hard at work trying to convince us that he’s pulled his head out of Trump’s ass. Won’t work.
Stained forever.
Sometimes rudeness is not only earned but deserved and necessary.
Sometimes it’s not even rudeness. Just the truth hurting.
He strikes me as a feckless idiot.
It’s fun watching them try to run away from the Felonious Fuckstump now that it’s all over. Hahahahahahahaha
Two faced – not Lindsey. Does he have MPV (multiple personality verbiage?) ’cause he has more than two faces in the political game.
Indeed. Tomorrow he’ll do another of his famous 180 turns and say the exact opposite. Guess it just depends on which day he happens to take his meds.
Graham gets zero points here. That it took THIS to get him to turn says little of his judgment.
I’m surprise Graham doesn’t get motion sick from all the swinging back and forth. Yes, Trump’s been a “consequential president.” He’s revealed the weaknesses in our system of government and how easily our laws can constitution can be circumvented, showing us where they need to be strengthened.
Leningrad lindsey is the reason i like tarintino’s character played by brad pitt, aldo the apache. Everytime he asked a captured nazi what he planned to do with his uniform, they always said burn it. So he gave them something they couldn’t take off…a carved swastiker on their foreheads to not allow them to deny their past. Hmmm…i’d give them the choice of a branded ‘R’, or life in prison for sedition from inside the highest offices in the land.
After some thought, make that a capital scarlett S. For sedition.
I watched this. I agree with Graham’s speech, but I’m sick and tired of his flaccid, unprincipled leadership. He stood by kids in cages, and it was only when he was put in danger that he deigned to speak out against fascism.
Being a good public servant means being good ALL the time, not just when it’s convenient, and it means serving the public ALL of the time, not just when it’s advantageous.
I don’t trust LeningradLindsey
