Miss Lindsey has no credibility. No one listens to him. He’s just pretending to care because it will go badly and many will die.

It’s tough choosing which side of history to be on. That’s why God created fences to sit on…

Clutch those pearls, LIndsey. What are you actually DOING about any of this?

Lindsey lives in pain because of his support for the orange one.

It must be a horrorshow inside his head.

What happens in Georgia will impact us in South Carolina.

Yet again, it takes an actual dangerous situation for a conservative to understand what liberals and progressives have known for decades (centuries?).

We respect Georgia’s right to determine its own fate, but we are all in this together.

What happens in Georgia will impact us in South Carolina.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except when it’s a virus. In that case you are passing that shit around.

Lindsey Graham should resign his Senate seat and return to his starring role in "Petticoat Junction."

Graham worries Georgia’s reopening is ‘going too fast too soon’.

Let’s see… Georgia…

cases: 19,881
deaths: 799
case-fatality rate: 4.02%
population: 10,617,423
tests: 88,140
% tested: 0.8301%

:thinking:

Ya think?

Miss Lindsey backs the reopening of South Carolina, however, mostly due to the possible delay of the Spring Cotillion Season, an unmitigated tragedy if ever there was one. Once a deb, always a deb.

Also pretty sure that the Gov. of Georgia won’t be listening to a Senator from South Carolina much.

just a little grumbling from lindsey as he goose steps along. I believe the fascistgoopers call this ‘collins concern’.

Miss Lindsey is a fascist boot-licker, but he is NOT stupid. Unlike Kemp - he knows the likely result of this is a raising infection level which cuts short any economic revival Kemp is hoping for, resulting in more economic damage and a lot of deaths of georgians. Miss Lindsey can also read polls showing that it is the old who are most freaked out by Covid-19, and old folks vote.

Miss Lindsey is on the ballot this fall. Miss Lindsay knows that whatever happens to Trump happens, but he also knows that if it gets too out of control in GA, and it spills over to South Carolina, well that might cost him reelection. And Miss Lindsey is only in it for Miss Lindsey.

He was great as Miss Pittypat Hamilton in Gone With the Wind however.

And he’s hedging his bets. If it’s not a complete tragedy he can say “see I was right to open…” and if it goes badly he can pull out the “too soon, too fast…”

“What happens in Georgia will impact us in South Carolina.”

At this point in time, so? Seems an irrelevant concern since you live in the swampy ass of Trump.

Too late to redeem yourself, Graham. You already sold your soul.

He just doesn’t like the idea of SC losing business to Georgia.
