1. Tough talk from the safety of the peanut gallery.

The Confederates are still trying, desperately and feverishly, to win the Civil War.

Tough talk is all they got...

2. Interesting - apparently Graham is worried that Kim will try to "play" Trump.

Maybe that's because Graham knows Trump can be played. All Kim has to do is throw a fancy party for Trump, flatter him and tell him what a great leader he is, and Trump will give away the store. Kim will get all the nukes he wants.

3. Kim's going to show him what a real military parade looks like, and the Con will swoon.

4. Graham has non-parody interviews with Hugh Hewitt. He is DEEPLY propagandized.

Graham is right in the middle of the low-infomation, know-nothing GOP propaganda machine.

Look at this interview with corrupt liar and propagandist Hewitt:


http://www.hughhewitt.com/senator-lindsey-graham-on-fisa-special-counsel-tariffs-north-korea-and-rick-grennell/

:vomit:

HH: Last night, Trey Gowdy and Bob Goodlatte sent a letter to the Attorney General of the United States asking for a special counsel on the FISA deal. Robert Mueller can’t handle it, because it’s his buddy, Comey, who’s involved in it. You have sent a letter with Charles Grassley. Now, we’ve got four senior members of the Republican Congress. Why will the Attorney General not do the obvious thing?

LG: I think probably Sessions had to recuse himself from even making this decision, because you’re talking about investigation the campaign he ran against. It’s probably Rosenstein who should make this decision. I can’t believe that we’re not going to have a special counsel in these circumstances. The Department of Justice and the FBI got off the rails. They can’t investigate themselves. The inspector general is a fine fellow, but he doesn’t have the institutional power really to do an investigation to deal with people who are not currently employed at the Department of Justice. If there was ever a moment for a special counsel, it is now.

HH: Well, Rod Rosenstein should be recused from this, too, because it goes to the conduct of the Department of Justice during his tenure as a member of the Department of Justice.

LG: Maybe so. Well, he was in the chain of reauthorizing the FISA warrants. I can’t stress this enough. Mr. Steele was a paid operative of the Democratic Party. Fusion GPS was being paid by the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign. He used his Russian sources, money given to him by the Democratic Party in America, to go out and dig up dirt on Trump. The dossier is totally unverified, and he had a political agenda. This is a dangerous precedent to set.

HH: Okay, last question on this…

LG: The FBI agents in charge hated Trump and skewed the investigation, I think, favorably to Clinton in terms of the email investigation.

HH: You just answered my last question, because that’s where it eventually goes, and that’s why there is reluctance to look back, because it will expose the Department of Justice in manifest ways.

LG: I think there was corruption at the Department of Justice in terms of handling the email investigation of Clinton.

Lie after lie in there.

6. Very disturbing. HH is a loon, but Lindsey is quite comfortable

it looks selling the country to the Russians.

8. Dangers of building a right wing propaganda machine

Your politicians even get ensnared, like Graham. I thought he was an intelligent guy.

[poboy2]

10. Could be up to just trying to get on Trumps good side for something.

Tough talk, just what Trump wants.

[Zorro]

11. Nah, he's always been a southern fried dumbass

He showed himself to be a prissy dipshit during the Clinton impeachment hearings. A leopard can't change its spots.

[sharedvalues]

14. Well that too.:)

He’s a dumbass for sure.

But he goes on Hewitt’s show regularly. Hewitt is a right wing propagandist and liar. Hewitt corrodes this country and Graham helps him. Also Graham believes Hewitts lies. It’s sad.

[MoonRiver]

13. You thought...what?

7. I had the same reaction as Josh Marshall.

What the F does that even mean?

[Upthevibe]

9. My question exactly.....

[BannonsLiver]

12. Pretty sure uncle Vlad and Co. have a pee pee tape of Lindsey

[sharedvalues]

15. Graham may just believe the right wing media

I see graham repeating right wing propaganda talking points. It could be as simple as Graham believing the liars at Fox and Limbaugh and Hewitt and Breitbart, etc.

[BannonsLiver]

18. That would make sense

Except for one thing. Graham suddenly changed from critic to psycophant virtually overnight. I just don’t buy the idea that after one round of golf they are all of the sudden besties.

Lindsey is gay. Let’s just be real about that. In our world that makes him just another person but in the swamp of Old South conservative politics it makes him a parhia. I think Lindsey’s deepest darkest fear is being outed, and to that end it’s possible if not probable the Putin-Trump cabal have some kind of kompromat on him, almost certainly related to his homosexuality.

16. Re "playing trump"; Well Mueller must be wasting his time then?

[spanone]

17. lindsey is always going for the war component....such a bullshitter
