    Even if you know nothing about Lindsey Graham, Trump loves him. That alone should tell you what kind of human being he was.

      And, since Trump‘s reelection, he absolutely loved Trump. Which is really fucked, because 10 years ago:

        I do actually have (some, rapidly eroding) pity for the people that fox has brainwashed into acting against their own interests by preying on their fear.

        Lindsey graham understood exactly what trump was and he decided to sell us all out anyway.

            This is, unfortunately, what happens when you disconnect from electoral politics and let the dumbest among us determine our leader.

            It's sad really

            Inb4 VoTe hArDeR, as if not voting would have solved this problem and isn’t actually the cause of the problem we are right now.

            Vote with your heart in the primary and vote with your head in the general. Taking your ball and going home when you don’t like the options available don’t delegitimize the election, it only makes it easier for the team you hate to win over the party you only dislike. And, as we can see, letting the party of ‘get fucked, poor’ win means we all suffer.

        This was when he thought Trump was telling the truth about “no new wars.” The evil bastard was scared he wouldn’t get to keep the murder machine running.

          This was 10 years ago, long before the “no more wars“ bullshit. Trump didn’t start that up until after he left office and someone pointed out that he didn’t happen to start any wars while he was in office the first time, and he leveraged that into a campaign slogan for his next run for office

          But I understand… It all seems to run together now

    The only redeemable quality was his constant support for Ukraine. But outside that, he was a slimeball pilot fish who would always follow whatever the GOP leader said

      He is happy seeing Ukrainians die killing Russians vs him seeing Americans die. He also loves that Ukraine’s and the EU’s military spending was keeping his portfolio happy. Your tax dollars entering his pocket via defense spending = consistent support from him

      Lindsey openly said that he was supporting the war in Ukraine to kill as many Russians as possible.

      He’s far from the only supporter of that war that’s happy to see Ukrainians die in the trenches just to kill Russians. You might want to consider who you’re throwing your lot in wiith.

    Lindsay Graham liked one thing - war.

    He did not have a concern about sending his supporters to die for him, if the money trickles back to him. In fact, he did. He has always been pro war, and any Democrat who has kind things to say about him paint a really clear picture who they serve, and it ain’t Americans.

      What on earth are you talking about? The boards of Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics contain several Americans.

    Mary L. got the only fragment of a soul that was locked away in some dark recess of the Trump DNA.

    Props to Fanone for continuing to speak out.

    And, of course, Rest In Piss Lindsey Scumbag Coward Graham. The world rejoices.

      With her name she gets a lot of power in the form of a platform. Well, an initial platform, at least. I only know of her because she has been insistent on using her platform well — that is, she says things worth listening to

        Finally realizing that even with his police “in group” status he was just a throw-away piece of trash, like those he put the government boot to, and that made him really angry.

      I mean, yeah. Maybe none in this thread right now, but there’s always one who comes along spouting their centrist drivel. How is pretending like they don’t exist helpful to anyone?
