Richard Burr’s vote to convict Donald Trump did not bring down the former president but it may have made Lara Trump “almost certain” to be nominated for the US Senate, key Trump ally Lindsey Graham said on Sunday.

“Certainly I would be behind her because she represents the future of the Republican party,” the South Carolina senator said of the former president’s daughter-in-law, adding that the future should be “Trump-plus”.

Burr, a former chair of the Senate intelligence committee, will retire as a senator from North Carolina at the end of his current term.

On Saturday, he and six other Republicans voted to convict Trump on a charge of insurrection linked to the US Capitol attack. It made Trump’s second impeachment the most bipartisan ever but he was acquitted nonetheless.

Burr’s state Republican party condemned what it called his “shocking and disappointing” vote.

Shit is supposed to come out of your ass, not your mouth.

4. The future will be "Trump-Plus."

God help us, no one else will.

[machoneman]

5. She'd be better off changing her name by divorcing!

[Frustratedlady]

6. She'll be even worse than MTGreene, if that's possible.

The Trump family is like a bad virus. You think you've recovered, but then it hits again.

14. Need to put up someone really GOOD in FloriDUH

I know absolutely nothing about Allen Ellison.

[Zipgun]

56. I really dislike the use of FloriDUH. The reality is that the state Democratic Party has been in

disarray for years. Infighting, disorganization and cronyism has crippled it and the GOP has exploited its weakness. Ellison is a weak candidate in my opinion. There has been little to no cultivation of new politicians from the party. For example, during the last election cycle it was outside progressive groups that recruited multiple candidates for several state and local offices that the FDP was willing to cede to the GOP without a fight. To make matters worse, the FDP charged high fees for access to voter information to any candidates that wanted or needed the information.

[VA_Jill]

58. Sorry you don't like it

but you've just given several pretty good instances of why it's the case.

[Zipgun]

72. So because the party is in disarray you should insult me and other Florida democrats. Got it. Thanks

I show up to vote, so do a lot of other democrats. I encourage other people to vote, talking to them about why they might want to vote for democratic candidates, again, as do a lot of other democrats in Florida. But sure, keep insulting us, because that's the way to support and inspire.

[VA_Jill]

74. Oh please.

I lived in Tennessee for 35 years. I heard it all. Don't take it so personally.

[Yavin4]

9. Lindsey Graham reminds me of Grand Maester Pycelle and the Lannisters. n/t

[mr_lebowski]

19. Except the IRL version of the Lannisters NEVER pay their debts

But yeah ... I get the reference. Esp. to Pycelle

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Lindsey makes more Republican noise than Donald Trump leading me to believe

or suspect, that Donald Trump is not well.

Make any sense?

[VA_Jill]

16. If he is not

Lindsey the Remora will have to find a new host. Any guesses?

[bdamomma]

34. that thing

at Mar A Lago, always gets his goons to do things, boy Lindsey has sold his (what) soul. He will go down it's a matter of time.

[NCDem47]

11. Graham has an oversized opinion about his role in national politics.

Just STFU and focus on working for your SC constituents. Stop poking your nose in other state races. You're not in charge of anything now.

[rickyhall]

12. Fuck you, Gray Hamster, just fuck you.

[RandySF]

13. Can his nose get any browner?

[keithbvadu2]

39. Lindsey's nose

[johnnyfins]

54. Or oranger...

[brush]

15. We'll see about that. She may win the republican nod. but after...

Dem attack ads playing the Dem impeachment video over and over, and Stacey Abrams on the GOTV case, I think she'll bite the dust just like her orange anus father did.

[lettucebe]

17. Maybe the Airhead Party would be a good new name?

[dhill926]

18. I think LG underestimates how many people HATE the trumps....

it will be a bloodbath if she runs...

[patphil]

21. Graham continue to worship at the alter of Trump.

So he sees the government as being "Trump plus"? I mean, could the guy be any more subservient to Trump?
And, I imagine he already has a long "enemies" list that he plans to use if the Republicans ever get control of the Senate again.

We can only hope that he gets indited and convicted for attempting to defraud the 2020 Georgia election.
The war for the soul of our nation is still raging. We won a battle, but there will be many more to come.

24. Anyone have a barf bag handy?

[Harker]

38. Sorry.

Mine's full.

[Autumn]

25. What is it that would make a man sell out his country, his party in which he had an important

part, his supposed values for a man he despised? And now that Trump defense goes to a wife of a Trump, a son that Trump ignores. They have to have something on him. It's not because he is gay, that didn't make a blip on the news. Whatever it is, it's big.

[niyad]

63. I keep thinking it is epstein-level huge.

[speak easy]

79. Autumn. I think people overlook the obvious.

GOPers can committee to Trump 100%, not because they have a problem with white supremacy, nor authoritarian supremacy in general. Not because they have a problem with the hubris, the avarice nor the anti-intellectualism - but because they like it! It's who they are. True colors.

Given Linsey is (now) famous for his 180 degrees, how do we know this is not the real Lindsey (if such a thing exists).

[COL Mustard]

26. Lindsey Graham says Lara Trump Headed for US Senate

The Senate needs a cleaning lady? I'm not sure I'd trust a T***p to even do menial labor.

[Traildogbob]

27. Doesn't

That slimy weasel have a state he should be doing things for? He should Keep his nose out of other states when it is not firmly inserted up past trumps enormous prostate.
SC has their very own Trump. Golf, travel on our dime and stir up government take over.
If Dems AND never trump GOP ever needed a reason to get out and vote, Graham as senate Majority, McCarthy as speaker and Trump spawn and spawn in law occupying seats in government should be like a fire power up our asses.
Biden team needs to secure voter rights ASAP.
These assholes are fired up that no law will ever touch them.

[Hekate]

28. Dear Lindsay G: Why does the phrase Arsenic & Old Lace come to mind just now?

Even limp, spineless, worms can turn out to be poisonous.

[Jon King]

29. Do they not understand demographics?

NC is rapidly changing. Research Triangle and other areas are having an influx of tech workers. NC is becoming Virginia.

Graham makes no sense. A Trump would guarantee motivation for voters to vote against her. They will lose the Senate seat unless they nominate a moderate non Trump candidate. Graham is fighting a lost battle to return to the past.

[bullimiami]

59. burr is somewhat moderate for a republican. they think replacing him with a joke is a good idea?

[SMC22307]

62. RTP is surrounded by a sea of red. Lara Trump was born in Wilmington...

and I guarantee those Southern GOP women (Marsha Blackburn types) will fight like hell for her. Many of the retirees moving to NC are wealthy and tend to vote Republican. She'll wrap herself in the flag while waving the Bible and will garner the military and evangelical vote. Plus there are the MTG-type wackos - gunz! mah rights! And the mountain folk who voted for Madison Cawthorn over a Democratic retired Lt. Col. USAF. Many will vote for her to build the Trump "dynasty." We do not want Lara Trump on the ticket. If she ends up as the candidate, we better have a Stacey Abrams fighting for the Democratic candidate.

[Hip2bSquare]

30. Dear God will Lindsey STFU!!

Sheesh that loser just can't stop running his mouth. Crying like a toddler a few months ago worried if he'd get reelected and now he won't STFU.

We have got to find a way to free this nation of that loser and mcconnell.

[iluvtennis]

31. It's a sad day for the rethugs if Lara trump is the best candidate they can offer. Unqualified. nt

[IcyPeas]

32. and her qualification is that she is a trump?

I fear these hucksters aren't going away any time soon.

[riversedge]

33. "[Lara Trump] claimed Joe Biden was suffering "cognitive decline" and mocked his stutter. " She is

Lara is pure stinking swamp slime just like her daddy -in- law

Lara Trump, 38, is a former personal trainer and TV producer who became a key campaign surrogate. Among other controversies, she claimed Joe Biden was suffering “cognitive decline” and mocked his stutter. She earned widespread rebuke.

“These words come without hesitation,” Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the airline pilot and all-American hero who also stuttered as a child, wrote in the New York Times.

“Stop. Grow up. Show some decency. People who can’t have no place in public life.”

[bdamomma]

36. Just

more swamp.......Lara Trump.

[central scrutinizer]

35. Breaking news!

Sarah Palin has filed the paperwork to change her last name to Trump and plans to challenge Lisa Murkowski. When asked if she would complete the six year term, she responded, “What a silly question from the fake news, lame stream media!”

[bagimin]

37. A detestable lump of pus. n/t

[July]

40. So, she lives there?

Or just owns property there?

Or neither?

[More_Cowbell]

47. She was born there

Which, of course, doesn't make her qualified. But that's her "hook," I think.

41. Lindsey is such an attention seeker.

Lindsey is such an attention seeker.

Next, he will be tweeting a zillion times a day like his Messiah, Donald.

42. What does Lindsey get for sucking Trump's dick? n/t

[Harker]

43. Trump-plus might just be the ugliest sound I've ever read. n/t

[pnwmom]

44. He's flailing about, looking for some Trump, any Trump,

who isn't about to be indicted.

[George II]

45. "Lara Trump Headed for US Senate" - she's been subpoenaed to testify?

[appmanga]

46. Poor Lindsey...

...has become the worse kind of bottom feeder. He's becoming a self-parody to satisfy his master Trump. Put Lara Trump and the QAnon Congress lady together and you don't get enough intellectual heft to get a reading on a (no pun) gram scale.

[VA_Jill]

48. Lindsey is a REMORA

A suckerfish. One of those fish that attaches itself to a shark or other large fish with its sucker mouth. The diet of the remora, scientists have recently found, consists mainly of its host's fecal material. Below you see a shark with some remoras.

[Gore1FL]

49. It will be interesting to watch the cancer of that family continue to destroy the GOP. nt

[Evolve Dammit]

50. Fuck all things Drumpf. Immigrant family comes to America (after grandfather deported from Bavaria)

son Fred joins the KKK and at some point they change their family name. Now the spawn villianize, victimize POC, immigrants and workers abroad for pure profit and pleasure. They are fucking sick "people" for at least 100 years. Anything for a buck and fuck everyone to get it. "You're a killer or a sucker"; Fred to Donald. Well, he certainly is a killer. In every way. Go get 'em justice system.

[bucolic_frolic]

51. Lindsey should become a bookie

An ill-bred walking wardrobe malfunction.

53. Okay

you are going to owe me a keyboard. I just spit Sprite all over mine!

[Generic Other]

67. All the vowels on my keyboard are cracked

because I started banging out my messages! They are covered with bandages and gorilla glue.

[bullimiami]

55. he is such an ass. so an unqualified nothing of a person married to a useless heap of richling dung

just because it has an R attached and some infamy is automatically a shoe in?

maybe, maybe not.
im happy for her to try and find out.

everything the republicans have touched they have corrupted and turned to shit.
impeachments, justice dept, post office, medal of freedom, elections, the senate, every federal agency, the presidency, the vice presidency, scotus. EVERYTHING.

[DeminPennswoods]

57. Unfortunately the Trump "magic" is not transferrable

It attaches only to him. Lara's a TINO; the cultists know a pretender from the real thing.

[NCjack]

60. Lara Trump? I don't know of any Lara Trump in NC politics. Oh, that Lara Trump.

NC doesn't want her carpetbagging ass in NC. If she shows here and gets on the primary ballot, a lot of folks will be shifting temporarily to GOP to vote against her. You know, just like GOPers do to us.

[CottonBear]

64. Unfortunately, she's a native North Carolinian from Wilmington. NT

[NCjack]

65. By the time we finish with her, she prefer the label "carpetbagger".

[Vivienne235729]

61. Lindsey Graham is eyeball deep in something that is highly illegal

For him to be working THIS hard to keep the facists in power. I sure hope the truth comes out....and/or Georgia takes him down.

[Vivienne235729]

66. So LG is moving to be DJT's mouthpiece now?

[Joinfortmill]

68. Never happen.

[nwduke]

70. He just didn't mention

That she is actually running for the senate seat in Uruguay, South America🤪🤪🤪🤣

[BradAllison]

71. Thanks for the senate seat, assholes! (n/m)

[EndlessWire]

73. They have started campaigning

and it is presumptuous of Graham to presume that she will automatically win. Same for Ivanka.

Makes you want to vomit to think that he is saying that the future of the GOP is Trump. The Government to be overrun with Trump's extended family.



In any event, just presume that anything LG says is something that Trump told him to say. What is wrong with these people? Why do they keep getting reelected?

[MissMillie]

75. Any chance there's a "Stacey Abrams" in NC?

And get that voting rights guy--Elias--down there to make sure further voter suppression doesn't get passed into State law.

[raccoon]

76. I hate him, I gave money to Harrison's campaign....

We’re stuck with him for at least 6 more years...

77. Dog Rescue Charity Linked To Lara Trump Funneling Money Into Donald Trump's Pocket

This family is pond scum and drifters

Link to tweet

A dog rescue charity with links to Lara Trump has spent as much as $1.9 million at former President Donald Trump’s properties over the last seven years and will drop an additional quarter-million at his Mar-a-Lago country club this weekend.

According to a permit filed with the town of Palm Beach, Florida, Big Dog Ranch Rescue estimates it will spend $225,000 at the club where Donald Trump has taken up full-time residence since leaving the White House. All the profit from that spending winds up in his pocket.

Internal Revenue Service filings show that the group has spent as much as $1,883,160 on fundraising costs at Mar-a-Lago and Trump’s golf course 18 miles north in Jupiter starting in 2014. Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, started being listed as a chairwoman for charity events in 2018, and the group’s president, Lauren Simmons, visited the White House in 2019 for the signing of a bill addressing animal cruelty......

Daughter-in-law Lara Trump has been advertised as a “chairwoman” of the charity’s fundraisers over the past several years. The spending by a charity she is associated with at her family’s businesses mirrors practices at Donald Trump’s now-shuttered Trump Foundation and Eric Trump’s Eric Trump Foundation, which also spent donor money at Trump properties.

The self-dealing by the Trump Foundation was so egregious that New York state Attorney General Letitia James cited it as the reason the charity could no longer operate.

Donald Trump over the course of his presidency funneled $8.5 million of Republican donor money into his own cash registers by directing spending by the entities he controlled, including the Republican National Committee, toward his own businesses. He similarly directed several million taxpayer dollars into his own properties by insisting on spending his frequent golf vacations there, thereby forcing Secret Service and other support staff to spend money at them, as well.

82. She's a criminal like the rest of them. If the dog "charity" operates in any state other

The state will grow a brain. Same mindsets in kanaas...unfortunately...
