1. Could the sun have come up yesterday and every day prior?

If our side was half as "vicious" as our opponents, we'd know exactly WHY. Just sayin.

2. On top of that, it always rises in the east. Strange,

...I think you're on to something big.

[Jughead]

3. Trump has Graham's blue dress locked away for future use.

4. do you think graham was the only politician that epstein, or in this case roy cohn

had video of? trump abused cruz and Rubio pretty severely at their debates. now they are groveling like the rest.

5. Maybe, but I don't think it's about sexy tapes

Most assuredly these guys took bribes or phony campaign contributions and the proof "somehow" fell into Chump's teeny-weeny hands. I have no doubt that Chump is good at blackmailing people.

6. The Columbus Day 2017 or 2018 Trump/Graham golf outing got Ms. Lindsey's "thinking right."

Something happened to make Graham Trump's boy.

[Kingofalldems]

14. Graham even claimed after the round that Trump shot a 74.

Trump really has him in his pocket.

[Botany]

17. Either Russia and or Jeffery Epstein got some kompromat on Ms. Lindsey and sometime between ...

... the 1st and 18th hole Trump showed Graham the video. I am going for under age boys, whips,
a cowboy hat, drinking, and cream cheese.

7. I'm sure Trump and Putin dug up kompromat on everyone, including acceptance of dirty money.

[malaise]

13. Yep

I'd like to know the role of the National Enquirer

21. David Pecker gave Trump a dossier

Of course, the Russians have emails and photos

I think it's something criminal involving a prison sentence

[NewJeffCT]

8. While it would not surprise me

who is Don Winslow and why should we take him seriously?

11. :) "author most recognized for his crime and mystery novels."

His bio sounds like he'd be fun to chat with.

But I question the judgement of anyone who'd point to incompetent and cowardly Trump alone.

Republicans in government have become so ideologically extreme and intensely corrupt, and the behaviors of a number of powerful people so bizarrely changed from what they once were, that I'm prepared to believe most are seriously vulnerable to blackmail and others are already serving handlers, some probably mostly willingly.

But the list of foreign and domestic enemies whose interests require keeping controllable and amenable Republicans in power, and Democrats out, has to be very long.

[Luciferous]

9. I think that's been pretty obvious since he did a 180 right after the election.

[DeminPennswoods]

10. Sure Trump's capable of threatening anyone,

but Graham wants to keep his seat, Trump's still popular in SC and Graham has embraced him because it helps Graham politically. Although how much longer that's the case, who knows? What will be interesting to see is if Graham abandons Trump once he's not politically helpful.

[Freethinker65]

12. Symbiotic relationship

Graham needs Trump to feel important, get media exposure, and he enjoys playing second fiddle to the powerful.

Trump benefits from Graham, who once seemed more moderate and was besties with maverick McCain, for his past stances on Russia, military use, and Trump himself. Having Graham's support now, on things Graham was vehemently against prior to this WH confuses things.

Trump, no doubt has dirt on Lindsey (more than the pretty obvious), but Lindsey by now after palling around must have some pretty juicy stuff on Trump and the state of Trump's mind. Trump loves to boast of getting away with misdeeds and crimes, it shows how "smart" and powerful he is. The "when you are a celebrity, they let you do anything" like...conversations must be endless.

Neither gives a damn currently about the country.

15. I learned a long time ago that "friends in law enforcement" with the tales to tell

that would blow the roof off if everyone knew it, are usually fairly low level people trying to sound important and in the know by spreading rumors to show off for their friends.

And people senior enough to know this kind of information don't casually mention it to random crime novelists.

[JakeBailey]

16. My theory has always been that Trump has threatened to out Lindsey...

as gay.

[ksoze]

18. Would be more surprising if he was outed as "straight"

[Horse with no Name]

19. A story that I heard was that the Russians also hacked

The RNC.
You didn’t hear much about that but the funny thing is, even the never-trumpers marched in lockstep.
Wonder what kind of oppo research they found?

20. He needs to tell us what it is or he's a worthless coward wasting our time.
