How will the RNC emails be weaponized? Or, are they being held under threat of release? Another future tool of creating division!

It would beg the question why the RNC had anything incriminating.

There is likely nothing in the GOP email regarding Graham that would be a problem. He was against Trump the entire time.

No, its more likely that his Pecker buddy at NE has some photos of Lindsey with a male lover or possibly worse. They were probably collecting blackmail info for him leading up to the election. While some Republicans/Conservatives can say they "know" he is gay, it would be 100% different if a picture of him embraced, kissing or holding hands with another man was out there. And if its a "massage parlor" or "pool boy"... that's the "worse". If Trump is blackmailing Lindsey - and I firmly believe he is - its about his sexuality.

Once his father being an admiral was known, McCain was used for propaganda purposes to show how well POW's were being treated.

In resonse to the question, "Was John McCain tortured?" leading responses were in the afirmative. Regular beatings, broken ribs, rebroken arm and leg, solitary confinement, interrogation. And I think that denied medical treatment qualifies as toture as well. Pentagon records confirm his torture.

I've never been a big fan of McCain. After all, he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. She is the reason Trump is now in office. I know how big a mistake that was.

However, I am so tired of Trump and his continued attacks on this otherwise accomplished man. He sure made his mistakes, but he served his country well.

To say that he wasn't tortured seems like an authentic piece of fake news.

Graham could never have withstood a single day of the rigors of military flight training.

So, I guess the reason he couldn't raise either arm above his shoulders was the result of too much golfing?

I guess we differ on our definitions of torture.

The solitude and deprivation? Not so much.

Put a ball-gag in his mouth, however, and he’ll bend over. Backwards, forward, every which way but loose. Or so I suppose.

Guess we’ll never know. Unless... someone releases certain videos.

.. the kind of sucker fish that attaches itself to a shark...

goes where the shark goes
eats scraps the shark misses...

And when Lindsey's shark died, he just attached him self to the biggest passing shark nearby...

and started going where the shark goes
and eating scraps the shark misses...

I recall someone saying he wanted one of those jobs as a lifetime judge. So he will bend over for Humptytrump and swear his allegiance to the orange one for it.

"I will not be an ass kisser to no President. I will serve you, the people of South Carolina. You come first."

Lindsey Graham has failed the people of South Carolina. He failed his dearest friend, John McCain, by swearing alliegence to Donald Ttump. The people of SC be damned.
