Just asked Graham about the criticism from Paul and Lee over Iran briefing. “I think they’re overreacting. I’m going to let people know ..to play this game with the war powers act, which I think is unconstitutional, is that whether you mean to or not, you’re empowering the enemy”

Whatever the kompromat is, it can’t be bad enough to drag your balls over broken glass this way.

1. Paging RandySF:

I would like to nominate this for Tweet of the Day.

[Nevilledog]

2. He does have a way with words.

[Alliepoo]

3. I second that nomination!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. LOL!

5. There is no kompromat

Rumor is he might be gay. Maybe there is video of him with a Black man, that would kill his GOP career.

But no, he's simply a political whore, Trump is in power, so he is Trump's lickspllitle. As simple as that. I don't know why people are so quick to assume blackmail. Bad people don't need to be blackmailed into doing bad things.

8. It's this. He is hitching his wagon to a decaying star. Just as he did with McCain. He is NOTHING

on his own.

11. It's the sudden 180 degree turn after a single private golf game with Trump. nt

16. Please knock it off with the Graham might be gay/Graham is a woman crap. n/t

[Skittles]

17. I disagree

the turnaround was too sudden and too complete

[stillcool]

6. yup...he's like a condemned man...

whatever he did, he wants to take it to the grave. I would have a little room for empathy, but he doesn't have to be such an ass. Or, maybe he does, in order to sell it.

7. He sure has a way with words

[Grammy23]

9. I'm just imagining the visual with this one.

Kind of nightmarish. Kind of poetic justice.

[George II]

10. "You're empowering the enemy"...Senator Graham, just who is this enemy of which you speak?

[pangaia]

12. I wish SOMEBODY would just flat out ask on national TV,

what somebody has on him to make him turn into a traitor....

[Pepsidog]

15. Yes-Please just ask the question. Please somebody Ask The Question !!!

[Glorfindel]

13. Ah, Mr Pierce...what are these "balls" of which you speak?

Ol' Linsey ain't had nothin' to drag for nigh onto 20 years, broken glass or not.

[Pepsidog]

14. Wow does he look like shit.

[Mopar151]

18. Like a dog

Shittin` peach pits....

[11 Bravo]

19. Lindsey's a remora, always looking for a bigger fish to attach to.

It used to be John McCain, but he's gone. Now Trump is the biggest fish in the toxic sludge that passes for the Republican pond, and Lindsey has latched on like a starving baby onto Mommy's teat.

History, prior to completely dismissing him, will note that when all is said and done he turned out to be a truly sad and pathetic little man.
