“Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Tuesday that he thinks President Donald Trump is ‘too smart’ to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller…”

Donald Trump wouldn’t recognize “smart” if it painted itself neon-purple and danced naked in the Oval Office singing, “I’m a Yankee Doodle Smarty”.

(Apologies to Edmund Blackadder)

That’s funny, Senator. A lot of people used to say the same thing about you. It only took stupid comments like this to make people realize, you’re as dumb as a box of rocks. Igneous-ramus.

I can’t find any reliable news agency confirmation, but I keep seeing reports of Russian SU-35s, in the air over Latakia, with anti ship missles and that the Russians are blocking our drone signals. Fake News?? Anyone with better information?

He didn’t talk about how smart Trump is on Fox so, when it comes to the intended audience, it will fall on deaf ears.

‘Au contraire, mon frer’ -

Didn’t Mangolini rhapsodize on the ‘smarts’ of ‘Little Anthony’ Scara-whozits’??!!

Finally Eric has a role in the White House!

Was it this?

Listen to these valiant men as they mount their bully soap boxes and courageously vent their spleens, timidly saying: “troubled, concerned, disturbed and worrying,”

krux · April 10, 2018, 5:06pm

I’ve got nothing. Where are you seeing the reports?

srfromgr · April 10, 2018, 5:09pm

See above link. At first I thought I saw latkes in Ralph’s post. I have no idea where to find Latkes in Syria, but I know they taste good. Come to find out, Latakia is a seaport in western Syria.

ralph_vonholst · April 10, 2018, 5:11pm

Yes, that must be it wrt the drones. Interesting article and I think we’d be kidding ourselves if we think the Russkies haven’t figured out how to jam the predator and reaper drones too.

favoritecurmudgeon · April 10, 2018, 5:11pm

This is how I read it. Maybe even a warning?

tena · April 10, 2018, 5:12pm

O you hope - keep flattering him Ms Lindsey, that actually might work.

ralph_vonholst · April 10, 2018, 5:12pm

Yes the well known potato pancake center of Syria. Damn Apple auto correct.

hgc10 · April 10, 2018, 5:12pm

Hey, Ambiguously Gay Senator, Did you think that Trump was smarter than to fire James Comey?

srfromgr · April 10, 2018, 5:13pm

tRump probably gave Putin a heads up in their last late night talk, without anyone from our side listening in on the call, as usual.

26degreesrising · April 10, 2018, 5:18pm

Absolutely right. Graham’s hoping he can lead this dumb horse to water and not face the terrible repercussions to his party should Trump act like the idiot he actually is, and Graham well knows he actually is. This is a courtier’s bouquet of flowers for the king.

sanni · April 10, 2018, 5:20pm

Graham has first hand experience of where this thing could go.

They absolutely do not want to have to act. They know they will have to if forced.

I suspect most of the GOP Senate can’t change their pants often enough these days.
