Acting head.

Lindsey Graham makes sense now knowing how he was probably blackmailed by Trump. In his many, many, many visits to soldiers overseas he’s had “relations” with some of them. To have this info released would destroy his career in a Southern stronghold, but more importantly (since he’s already set for life) - would hurt the one thing he prides himself on more than anything else. His adoration of American soldiers and the military services. To lose their respect would crush him.

You know the old saying about Republicans and live boys or dead girls.

Lindsey would probably be on the receiving end given how he has prostrated himself before his orange idol.

Oh, some of them will still adore him…

Just so I’m up to date, the Kurds are still gonna get totally fucked, right?

It’s just gonna be that they get fucked by Assad now, instead of Turkey?

Until they decide to ally with Putin, I guess.

Yep, they will still be fucked even if they side with Putin because Turkey got a taste and they will take that back home. Also ISIS. But Assad will wipe them out regardless. They’ll disappear and Russia will conveniently be looking the other way.

They will not get “fucked” by Putin. Putin is a kind man, a good man, even. A man of integrity, of shirtless masculinity and virility of bear. You see Putin from Western eyes, not eyes of Kurd.

Да. Путин самый превосходный человек.

As if there was any doubt…

Spoiler alert: it’s a shitshow.

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise

The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred Halls of Truth
Ancient nobles showering
Their bitterness on youth
Can’t we find the minds that made us strong?
Can’t we learn to feel what’s right
And what’s wrong?
What’s wrong?

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise
Can’t we raise our eyes and make a start?
Can’t we find the minds to lead us
Closer to the heart?

Trump sure as hell doesn’t work for us:

I’m guessing it’s all the rent boys.

Nope. 12-year old Russian girls.

Is that seriously the thinking on that question, that Graham is a pedophile? How would that not have come out by now?
I always heard that it was an open secret that he’s gay (and of course not “out”).

I doubt that. There has been rumbling from a few people who may know something that DJT has dirt of a ‘very personal nature’ on Graham, whatever that may mean (if it’s even true), but I’d assume that it’s basically that Graham is gay, in which case WGAS (other than some of Graham’s voters, who may well GAS).

Well the reason to GAS is because of his politics and policies that would be openly hypocritical for it.

Also the fact he is in secret about it would create leverage on him for any ‘in the know’ which could manifest itself in many unfavorable ways.

Such as his going out of his way to bend over for Trump.

I see what you did there.

I doubt Lindsey’s deal is “just being gay”. Everyone knows he’s gay. It’s who he’s been gay with that issue. Troops, or younger lads. Who knows. what we do know is trump shit on his best friend in the world, John McCain, and continues to do that. Lindsey despised trump for the longest time, and then after one meeting, he was his lapdog. Any time he’s tried to stand up for what is right, he’s quickly brought to heel.

Graham isn’t being blackmailed into supporting Trump by nefarious agents - just by republican voters and his naked thirst for power and influence. He cozies up to Trump because it increases his influence. When the worm turns, he’ll plunge the dagger as deep as he can into trumps back to show his “independence” . They probably both know it too.
