Lindsay Graham: I've Pressured Trump To Start Bombing Iran

Senator Lindsey Graham (MAGAt-S.C.) told Axios on Saturday that several people around 'MuriKKKa's child rapist are advising him not to bomb Iran. Graham urged the pedophile to ignore them. With two aircraft carriers and hundreds of warplanes preparing for what could be a major military operation, top WH advisers tell Axios that therapist-in-chief still hasn’t made up his mind.

He is such a freakin' war hawk. He really wants to bomb something, somewhere.

and actually launches nukes? The Iron Dome won't stop fallout if they are detonated or destroyed above Jerusalem. It really would be WW3.

What a perfect description of he and many of the other Rump Repugs (Rumpugnicans?)

obsequious
/əbˈsēkwēəs/

Obsequious describes someone who is excessively eager to please, flatter, or obey others—particularly authority figures—in a fawning, servile manner to gain favor. It implies a lack of sincerity and a submissive, compliant attitude. Common synonyms include fawning, servile, submissive, sycophantic, ingratiating, groveling, toadying, and compliant.

Perfect.

I enjoy listening to UK broadcasters (and politicians). Sadly, the dialect we North Americans generally speak is a poor alternative.

...is not likely to spontaneously break out. I am sure Israel is urging the same as Graham. But what comes after could be as destabilizing regionally as what is there now, or worse. Israel probably is willing to take the risk. We should not be as eager. Given Trump et; al's inability to focus for more than a day or two, it will be like Venezuela. We declare victory, leave the pile of rubble in the rear view mirror and drive off without really fixing anything. I guess Trump could hand all this to the Board of Peace and collect a few billion $$$ more for his private international slush fund.

He looks like he's really enjoying something in that pic.

So is that supposed to be Lindsey's new tough guy image? Start a stupid war for no reason?
