Whatever credibility Lindsey Graham had left was officially flushed down the toilet this week and then washed into the sewer this morning.
Speaking to reporters yesterday, Graham was clutching his pearls, saying he and his colleagues were lucky to be alive after domestic terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol during a joint session of Congress.
But in a follow up tweet today, he said he doesn’t think Donald Trump should be held responsible for any of it because, well, blowjobs.
“They could have blown the building up!” Graham told reporters yesterday while speaking about the insurrection. “They could have killed us all! They could’ve destroyed the government!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Anyone in charge of defending the Capitol failed. The first thing that has to happen is to hold those accountable for failing to defend the nation’s Capitol while the Congress was in session.”
“If this is not a wake up call,” Graham added, “I don’t know what is.”
But apparently he’s still half asleep because this morning he fired off a tweet saying that Trump, the man directly responsible for what happened, shouldn’t be impeached because it might set a bad precedent.
Any attempt to impeach President Trump would not only be unsuccessful in the Senate but would be a dangerous precedent for the future of the presidency.
It will take both parties to heal the nation.

As soon as he said this, people were quick to remind Graham of that time he did support an effort to impeach a president.
The year was 1998. Graham was a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives and tasked with being the impeachment manager for the Clinton hearings, during which lawmakers spent countless hours discussing blowjobs.

Reminder: Lindsey Graham served as an impeachment manager for the Clinton hearings.

That’s not what you argued for Clinton. And he didn’t try to incite a violent overthrow of the seat of government. So.

I just want to remind everyone want Clinton was impeached for. Lying about a blow job. Lindsey Graham was pretty upset about that.

Here is how Lindsey Graham defined an impeachment standard said when he was the House Manager prosecuting Clinton: “Doesn’t even have to be a crime. It’s just when you start using your office and you’re acting in a way that hurts people, you have committed a high crime.” https://t.co/rYgD5AtsNX

Lindsey Graham impeached Clinton for a lie in a civil deposition about an arguably consensual blow job
Guess Clinton should have sent armed insurrectionists to the capitol instead Graham would have been like “oh, don’t overreact”

Lindsey Graham is singing the same tune. Lindsey Graham, who wanted Clinton impeached for a blowy.

Lindsey Graham only wants an impeachment if there’s a blow job involved.

Here’s a video of Graham during Clinton’s impeachment trial arguing that “high crimes” don’t “even need to be a crime.”

Graham is terrified. An impeachment could bleed over into the crimes he committed by trying to subvert Georgia’s election, possible election fraud in his own election, and investigations into the Russian Dark money that was donated to him over the years.

Truth! He’s terrified of the blow back.

This snivelling, repugnant little bottom-feeding closet-f*g is the worst of America. Go straight to hell you disgusting parasite.

I want to sit on his chest and pummel his face until it looks like a lasagna that was dropped on the floor.

Lindsey’s a raging hypocrite, we all know that…sadly, he just got re elected for 6 years- South Carolina will forget and re elect him again in 2026.
NateOcean
I was about to say the same.
I’ve been keeping a running list of of the worst hypocrites of the century (mostly Republicans).
But I think we can close out the competiton now. Graham has clinched it.

Every last republican that supported Trump, working in any government position, from the janitors all the way to Trump himself, should all be fired or removed from their positions, blacklisted, arrested, and put in one big trumptard prison out in the nuclear test range and just left to rot there. They’re not worth the cost of feeding.

Kinda funny to see how upset Congress gets when the bear is knocking down their doors. Although Trump is to blame for the inciting to riot, Congress should stop and see this as an awakening moment. To be fair, this countries politics and politicians who have done way too little for way too long for the American people is what is really at the base of the publics frustrations. Liberals have been frustrated by watching the Republicans only pass legislation that helps their businesses. The Conservatives have been frustrated by watching the Democrats “give away the bank” to people they see as undeserving of “handouts”. Social media has only served to make the divisiveness worse. My point is, if Congress had been doing their job correctly and doing it for the good of the people for the past 20 years, We the People wouldn’t be so pi**ed of about the state of our country and we probably wouldn’t have seen the BLM protest nor the Trump supporters attack on the Capital.

I don’t disagree with you on the general point, but try this. First, BLM protested because cops are killing innocent Black people and have for decades; Congress has a role in addressing this problem, and has done so in fits and starts, but the reality is that this requires a rethinking of policing, the prison industrial complex and so forth. It goes far beyond Congress.
The Don the Con protesters’ attack on the Capitol was not provoked by Congress but by Trump and his Congressional allies. Don the Con has been president for four years. Why are his supporters so p!ssed if he had power and the GOP also controlled both houses of Congress his first two years? He didn’t build the wall. He didn’t stop undocumented immigration. He didn’t win the trade war with China. He didn’t come up with a new health care plan. He didn’t even create all the jobs he claimed; in fact, his economic record before 2020 was not even as strong as Barack Obama’s last four. Who has gotten rich these last four years. The super rich! Not his “common man” supporters. HE IS A CON MAN! Wake up! He’s always been a business disaster masquerading as a success, and like the Wizard of Oz, once you pull back the curtain, the incompetent mediocrity is clear.
Don the Con’s supporters had their man in power, and he essentially blew the country up, just like the last Republican president, though Don the Con did so in record time, four years. The country is in a spiral downward, with Covid-19 raging, the economy in shambles, unemployment nearly 7%, our international alliances shaky, China stronger than ever, Russia also stronger than ever, and our seat of federal power exposed as less guarded than a New York parking lot. As a result Don the Con lost the 2020 election. It was not stolen. Democrats did not have to steal it because Don the Con has been an utter disaster. 81 million people voted against him, and HE LOST. It was decisive. 7 million more voters elected Biden and Harris, and gave them 302 electoral votes, the same amount Don the Con called a “landslide” in 2016, when he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by 2.8 million voters.
You cannot blame Congress for Don the Con’s loss, but Congressional Republicans and even Vice President Pence, whom the domestic terrorists wanted to murder, are to blame for boosting Don the Con’s psychopathic ego and his authoritarian fantasies, while also looking the other way at his innumerable crimes. His criminal band of domestic terrorists need to be told the truth, as Mitt Romney said, and prosecuted for their crimes. Don the Con also should be in prison, getting intensive psychological help, for the rest of his days on earth.

The right wing troll account tries to “Both sides” a violent anti-American riot by Republicans at the U.S. Capitol.
Oh, and let’s see, Democrats “Giving away the bank”, hmmmm, interesting that the deficit has gone up under every Republican since Reagan and down with every Democrat.
But since you’ve exposed yourself as the same right wing troll account I guess I shouldn’t be surprise you’re pushing the same old lies.
trsxyz
You make some excellent points. Trump is to blame for inciting this riot. And I agree that everyone (Liberals, Conservatives, Democrats & Republicans) are deservedly angry at Congress for not doing their job over the last 20 years, and that this riot should serve as a wake-up call.
However, I do take exception to your statement that “Liberals have been frustrated by watching the Republicans only pass legislation that helps their businesses”. A more accurate statement would be that Liberals are frustrated by watching Republicans loot the Treasury for their own personal enrichment at the expense of the Country at large. And at Republicans skill in seducing working class Americans over to their side. Even though their policies and actions are not in the best interest of working class Americans.
I won’t accuse you of being a right-wing troll. But I think you’re either too generous (or naive) in your views toward the current state of the Republican Party and their motives.

The root of the problem is in our education system. A nation of 300 million people should not have to import computer programmers, scientist, doctors and nurses from other parts of the world because its population can not do the mathematical calculations required to perform the jobs. Science is taught in metrics, not feet and inches, and our lack of focusing on the quality of education is why we are now a nation looking for a knight in shining armor.
Were Americans good at basic math the first thing they would have noticed about that stimulus check we are all still waiting for is fifteen dollars per hour is no longer a living wage in any city across America. If you multiple fifteen by forty you get six-hundred dollars per week, twenty-four hundred per month. In the city of San Francisco rent on an efficiency apartment with a stove, Murphy bed and a shared bathroom with all the other tenants on the same floor start at $3k per month. The housing situation in NYC is so bad people making $40k per year no longer qualify for one bedroom apartments and live in SRO’s (single room occupancy hotels or basically homeless shelters in all but name). No matter how you do the math we ARE a nation of nothing else but working slaves. This attempted but failed coup could never have taken place unless the conditions seemed were ripe and it HAD to have involved military officers whom may have lost their nerve or were arrested and we don’t know about it yet.

Lindsay is just mad bc he can’t get a bj unless he pays for it by a male escort. What is the matter with SC that they voted him back into office? And worse what is wrong with the Democrats that they can’t get him voted out of office like they did in Georgia?
garybw
Lindsay was mad about the blowjob, cause she wasn’t chosen over Monica
Kangol2
Don the Con’s domestic terrorists came marching into the Capitol on Wednesday looking to hang the Vice President Pence (they shouted this aloud) and harm Pelosi and Schumer, and who knows who else, perhaps Graham as well, and he was rightly afraid. But he is not going to fully turn on Don the Con because he has made his bed with him. He has been a theatrical opportunist for years, and he is probably still calculating his future career, concerned that he might need those Don the Con supporters at some future point. He should cut his losses. As his heckling in the airport demonstrated, they’re cultists and impervious to facts or reason. Lindsey nor anyone else is going to reach them until they’re deprogrammed.

Poor Miss Lindsey. This miserable, lonely, two-faced hag’s vagina is full of moth balls and cedar chips all held together with cobwebs.

I think the answer is less “Isn’t this awful” at this point than “What are you going to do about it?”
And the answer, as always, is “nothing but whine about it.” Which is why America just gets worse. At least get off your butts and write a Congressperson or something.

Poor Lindsey – look at his eyes. What’s he using? Does alcohol do that to the pupils? He never sTruck me as the type to throw a party? Maybe he’s been crying because of all the lies he’s told
