Lindsey Graham is a vile POS. He tweeted this at 5:21 today.

[catbyte]

I'm speechless.

I’ve never felt better about the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh than I do right now.

Having said that, I respect my colleagues who have requested the supplemental FBI investigation, which will be limited in scope and time.

It can be done quickly and then we will be able to move forward to an up-or-down vote in the Senate next week.

1. Fuck you Lindsey.

Will someone just out this pig already? Anything to get rid of him.

[ProudLib72]

5. They are SM

But like all things, we must be patient.

Although were something to happen to him over the weekend, I would not shed a tear.

[smirkymonkey]

6. You and me both!

[Shaddox]

2. Whatever they have on Lindsay must be beyond comprehension

[RhodeIslandOne]

10. I bet it really isn't....

Except in South Carolina.

[DesertRat]

3. That cartoon says it all

[spooky3]

28. Agree nt

[MontanaMama]

32. That cartoon

illustrates exactly how this feels. It just hurts.

[uponit7771]

37. +1

[Fred Sanders]

4. Wishful thinking by the Herr apparent to the DOJ throne he craves.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I am already seeing TV ads on MSNBC

by the dark money group that is now saying, "This is a smear campaign against a good, innocent man.
Support Kavanaugh ".

[nolabear]

12. Yeah, I wish they wouldn't carry that shit.

It’s a rough reminder of what is really important all the way around.

[nature-lover]

8. This is #32 in his script titled "My Tweets to Show trump What a Great AG I'll be."

[bdamomma]

9. His colleague

John must be rolling in his grave. Really. Lindsay is a tRumpster.

[libdem4life]

11. It's pretty much about his "sexual orientation"

Evil and covered up to the Rs, No Big Deal to the Ds. But it's out there...that's the source of his hysterical bloviating. IMHO

[roamer65]

21. Lindsey is a repressed homosexual.

It’s sad, really.

[tableturner]

24. NOT repressed.....hidden.

[FakeNoose]

33. It's an open secret in Washington - nobody really cares

But in his home state he has to keep it quiet. This guy had a military career during the "don't ask don't tell" years. You'd think he would be better disposed towards the Democratic Party because of that. He's such a nasty little shit.

[libdem4life]

40. He cares. As an R...it's not a good thing.

[Dave Starsky]

41. Oh, I think it's much worse than that.

Underage boys, probably, with Russian video to boot.

Only that kind of kompromat could so sharply snap a guy from one of Trump's only Republican critics to his biggest ass-kisser ever.

[libdem4life]

42. Sounds about right...unfortunately.

[FakeNoose]

43. It only takes one to tell the story, then a whole new #MeToo outrage

What a nasty shit he is! I'll bet Cheeto told him about the kompromat too, just to keep him in line.
Suddenly this all makes sense.

[guillaumeb]

13. Graham has no respect for anyone.

He might fear Putin, or whoever owns his soul.

[mountain grammy]

14. Drop dead Lindsay

And I really mean that. Drop dead.

[Blaukraut]

15. Yup. He needs to go. If the only way he goes is by dropping dead, so be it n/t

[Texin]

22. Sad to say I wish this every single day about all the current rethugs (save Flake tonight)

[Solly Mack]

16. I can't remember a time when he wasn't a vile POS.

He has hidden it better at times - but he was always a vile POS.

[IluvPitties]

17. What a piece of dung he is.

[pecosbob]

18. His rant on the floor yesterday

made him into the biggest demagogue the Senate. Pretty tall order to replace Ted Cruz...but he's getting his ass kicked by Beto and won't be in the Senate much longer.

[Blue Owl]

19. I can't see real good -- is that Lindsey Graham or a pile of vomit?

[dalton99a]

20. Lindsey Graham is the Devin Nunes of the Senate

vile and servile

[Texin]

23. I've been stunned, actually, at the complete turn he's taken since his friend McCain died.

I do know that people don't fundamentally change the essence of who they are. But he'd kept it closeted just like his reputed sexuality during the life of his presumed friend. I don't know what's happened recently that has led him to abandon all semblance of human dignity and compassion, but clearly something or someone has. Indisputably.

[democratic friend]

35. Definitely not excusing his repulsive behavior,

But could it be grief? His relationship with McCain was a bit weird. Almost to close. Could he have loved him more then typical?

[Samspadesnark]

25. Dream on, Lindsey darlin', dream on.

No one – not you, not Sarah Sanders, not Donald Trump, not Charles Grassley, and not anyone else – tells the FBI how to do an investigation and how long the investigation must take. The FBI is not your personal political handmaiden. It is an independent agency that prides itself on its independence. It will investigate Brett Kavanaugh with the depth and scope that it sees fit, and in the time frame that it believes is required.

Frankly, I hope the FBI completely re-opens all of its background investigations into Kavanaugh, just as it has re-opened investigations into numerous other Trump nominees. I hope it focuses in particular on Kavanaugh's gambling and especially his unexplained finances: how he lived like he did on the salary that he makes, who mysteriously paid off his substantial debts and why, and what they expected in return, what he promised them, and what caused those debts to run up in the first place – because it sure as heck was not baseball tickets. If Kavanaugh has an unexplained or unknown substance abuse problem that requires a lot of money, or other personal failings that are ongoing expenses to him, I hope the FBI overturns every single stone to find the answers. The last thing America needs is a Supreme Court Justice who is subject to blackmail or who is financially obligated to other people (or, God forbid, other nations).

And the foregoing things do not even begin to address Kavanaugh's numerous prevarications, some of which he seems to have made under oath.

The question is not whether Kavanaugh is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of any crime. The issue is whether he has told all of the truth, both under oath before the Senate and in all of his submission papers, and whether he is in fact the best-qualified person for this position.

I hope in their same investigation, the FBI will discover the identities of all the people who have made death threats toward Dr. Ford and her family, the other women accusers, and now toward the republican senators who are calling for an FBI investigation (after Ann Coulter was dumb enough to tweet her prediction of death threats toward them). A proper investigation might take months, but it for sure will not conclude in 5 working days. SMH at the impudence, arrogance, and self-entitlement of the republican party.

[oasis]

36. Great post. Welcome to DU.

[JDC]

26. Pure bluster

[Initech]

27. Like I said - they got their marching orders from the Kochs and Putin.

They are going through this if it kills them.

[The Genealogist]

29. Does he take his pants off before dry humping Donald Trump's leg?

Just wondering, he must go through a LOT of pants if he doesn't. What a pathetic sycophant.

[eleny]

31. Lol!

[eleny]

30. No

Just no.

[donkeypoofed]

34. Your auditioning for the A.G. job are going very well!!

And I'm sure your audience of 1 truly appreciates you. Enjoy your new job (when you get it shortly after mid-terms).

[Squinch]

38. Their demeanor is worrying me. I won't be satisfied until this is over. I think they think they

have something up their sleeves.

[Vinca]

39. What's happened to Lindsey? Ever since McCain left Washington he's been getting

nuttier and nuttier. You'd think he could find a better new BFF than the Orange Fuhrer.
