I'm serious here. Has anyone thought up an appropriate T shirt and coffee mug for Lindsay Graham?

His love and worship for Trump knows no boundary. It's downright embarrassing.

Please, someone come up with something...let us all know when you do! I'll buy 20...

Or effort. I really could care less what he says or does , the man is a spineless hypocrite only worried about his own backside, so no reason to waste time on him or slogans about him.

He's fallen and he can't get up.

These aren't worth much, but then neither is he.

Unless they really have necrophilia, or maybe murder/rape of children photos.😳

I keep picturing Graham in a basement with his hands tied above his head, wearing a rubber ball in his mouth as a gag, until they decide to trot him out to glow over how big of a crush he has on Trump some more. The rubber ball is to shut him up and he is tied up to keep him out of everyone's way the rest of the time.

That's the biggest crush I have ever seen one man have on another. It would almost be cute if it didn't involve Trump. I kind of feel bad for Graham, because when this crush wears off, he is going to be so embarrassed. He just doesn't know it yet.

So, a shirt with him in a basement with his hands tied over his head and a rubber ball in his mouth, mumbling about how much he loves Trump would be perfect, imo.

There is also that Pilot Fish thing going around. I'm sure someone could Photoshop a Pilot Fish with Graham's face. I'm not good with Photoshop and only have the ones called Photoshop Elements or something like that, lol. I'm sure that would work though.

Whatever they make, I hope they use one of the pictures of him with his recent extremely bloodshot eyes. I think he has been crying or maybe is starting to realize how embarrassed he would be if he had whatever scruples it takes to feel embarrassment. Those bloodshot eyes just get me every time. He has got to realize by now how much of a fool he has made of himself.

The pilot fish (Graham, Lindsey) is a spineless Senator of the jackass family, Carangidae.[3] It hails from South Carolina.


Description

The pilot fish congregates around the Russell Senate Office Building, where it eats ectoparasites on, and leftovers around the host species;[4] younger pilot fish are usually associated with jellyfish and drifting seaweeds.[5] They are also known to follow ships, sometimes for long distances; one was found in County Cork, Ireland,[6] and many pilot fish have been sighted on the shores of England.[7][8] Their fondness for ships led the ancients to believe that they would navigate a ship to its desired course.[9]

Ex-GOP strategist Schmidt: Lindsey Graham is just a pilot fish who follows bigger fish around

I didn’t get it, and I’ve always been among those who at least suspected that Graham is being blackmailed by “somebody.” And that may yet prove to be true — but former McCain campaign strategist Steve Schmidt has an alternate explanation, and I have to say it’s fairly compelling.

In a recent Rolling Stone feature titled “How Lindsey Graham Lost His Way,” Schmidt insisted that Graham hasn’t really changed at all — because he’s always been a kiss-ass, and Trump’s ass is simply the most convenient place to pucker up these days.

“People try to analyze Lindsey through the prism of the manifest inconsistencies that exist between things that he used to believe and what he’s doing now,” Schmidt says. “The way to understand him is to look at what’s consistent. And essentially what he is in American politics is what, in the aquatic world, would be a pilot fish: a smaller fish that hovers about a larger predator, like a shark, living off of its detritus. That’s Lindsey. And when he swam around the McCain shark, broadly viewed as a virtuous and good shark, Lindsey took on the patina of virtue. But wherever the apex shark is, you find the Lindsey fish hovering about, and Trump’s the newest shark in the sea. Lindsey has a real draw to power — but he’s found it unattainable on his own merits.”

Bob Barker Company, America's biggest vendor of prison supplies, sells a very nice line of orange silicone coffee mugs which, according to the sales copy, "cannot be turned into a weapon." They also sell t-shirts in many attractive colors.

Be forewarned: You have to buy a full case of either. There are 48 mugs per case.
