Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey---are you ready to play "Thumper"? No, I am not talking about

that cute li'l bunny in the "Bambi" movie. I'm talking about the "THUMP" you are going to make when Trump tosses you under the bus with everyone else who has failed to praise him as effusively as he believes he deserves.

Have you read this, Lindsey?

----"Trump recently asked prominent allies to tweet negative things about Graham, and he has been complaining that Graham is a hanger-on. 'Trump has said, ‘Since [John] McCain died, Lindsey follows me around and shows up to play golf and I don’t even invite him,' according to the source briefed on the conversation."

That's just a snippet from an article in "Vanity Fair". You used to be called a "good friend and close confidant". Now you are called a "hanger on"?

Not good, Lindsey. Not good at all. You have gone from "Trumper" to "Thumper".

Say "Hi" to Sessions under there, OK?

We could end up with both Sessions and Graham back in the Senate next year... ugh

Hoping the voters of South Carolina and Alabama get smart.

(no, I was NOT gonna' "go that way"!).

What will hurt is to lose his place in line with those others that "trusted and loved" IQ15 - and now have been sent to the back of the line.

Seriously, Lindsey - isn't it is too bad nobody ever told you ANYTHING about of IQ45's history - failed businesses, fraudulent business associates, times in court, etc., etc.

Well, hell, Lindsey - just go ahead and plow ahead with your "investigations" -you're just digging your own pit deeper and deeper - IQ45's gonna' dump you faster than a COVID-19 mask that Obama wore - and nothing's gonna' save you now.

a TA Meeting (Trumpsters Anonymous) and they're all sitting there in a circle (yeah, they're all "jerks" - but don't go there with that joke!): Michael Cohen - Lindsey Graham - Jeff Sessions - Reince Priebus - John F. Kelly - Sebastian Gorka - Michael Flynn - H. R. McMaster - John Bolton - Sean Spicer - Anthony Scaramucci - Omarosa Newman - Chris Christie............

(Yeah, I know - that's quite a list - and that's only the "big names" in the group!)

GUEST SPEAKER TONIGHT: Moscow Mitch McTurtle!

The opening lines at the meeting:

"Hi, I'm (say your name) - and I was once loved by "The Donald" and I sold my soul to help him "Make America Great Again" (pause while members grab buckets because of "barf reflex" ). I now realize that I had been "blinded by the light" (I'm thinking its from the orange paste and hair.....) and must now remove my head from that dark chamber that "follows" "The Donald" and take responsibility for the harm and injustice that I was a part of what this mis-administration has inflicted on our country.

(pledge/opening statement continues)

"OK, I was kidding. Yeah, he's a jerk. We knew that. It's not all good, but I'm gonna' be OK no matter what. But, hey, if you want me to feel bad - funny, that's not my kinda' thing............."

“(Graham just) shows up to play golf and I don’t (sic) even invite him’...

Yeah; the Secret Service let THAT happen. So who was the 4th who got pushed aside when Lindsey barged into your foursome...?

back into theaters in the early 60's, maybe 1963, like a lot of those classic Disney films do - cause it came out first in 1942. I was around five years old and Bambi scared the bejeezus out of me. I had dreams. His mother getting killed, the forest fire...that was SCARY stuff. I mean, right up there with the flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz. Did you know the book was banned in Nazi Germany because it seemed to Goebbels to be an allegory about the Jews?

Isn't it funny how the past sneaks up on us once in a while?

As to Lindsey - sure. Trump would throw everyone in the world under the bus without a second's hesitation if he thought he could benefit in some way. The guy has NO moral compass at all. None. He doesn't seem to be capable of any kind of empathy. Remember when he had to be coached to seem to feel sympathy for the school shooting survivors? Had to have a cue card.

So, yeah, one peep out of Lindsey too many and we can wave to him as the bus crushes him.
