While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rails against President Donald Trump for approving a fatal attack on Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani without consulting Congress, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that he got a special early briefing while golfing with Trump in Florida.
Well, then, Congress was duly informed and Pelosi’s concerns are completely unfounded.
Fore!
So only GOP trusties get briefings on foreign affairs now?!
What American is Graham referring to that was killed with impunity?
The contractor.
Lindsey: “oooooooh, look at me, I’m soooooo important, I’m BFF with the prez…”
Dickhead.
Oh, yes, and to both you and your master: f*ck you very much for this wag the dog asshattery.
Lindsey Graham is a pathetic suck up.
So Congress wasn’t briefed, but Graham (who’s not even the chair of the foreign relations committee nor sits on any other committee related to military conflict) finds out in an insecure location before-hand and apparently has no issues with this.
Not to mention Eric Trump. Probably the other dim son too. And Jarvanka.
Trump has absolutely no idea how to be anything but a spoiled and indulged mentally ill manchild playing with matches.
Effing ERIC TRUMP may have known before relevant congressional committee members.
I will be less than shocked if we learn that various Trump family members bought oil stocks right before the attack.
This is how they roll. They’re an empire of one. He thinks he’s a Sith Lord, apparently unaware that Siths don’t need to cheat on their score cards.
Totes normal, right? /s
Nothing to see here /s
His need to boast about access trumps (ahem) his usual desire to claim that trump did everything by the book.
Tuesday, December 31, Trump went to his Palm Beach golf course, stayed for 49 minutes then went back to Marlago.
I wonder who he called on the telephone.
Also family members even though they have no official government position. Eric Trump recklessly referred to something big about to happen in a tweet that he later deleted.
This gives me no confidence that even a modicum of thought was put behind a hugely consequential act. Apparently, we learned nothing from killing Saddam, and now are going to relive that on some level.
Sorry, @moreyampersand. I see you got here first.
This wasn’t about foriegn relations, it is about reelection.
So Lindsey, and a political spokesman for Trump’s reelection naturally would be briefed and Democrats not briefed.
In this correct context, this makes a lot of sense.
One wonders what McConnell is getting briefed on.
Does he golf?
Makes perfect sense. This is an election play. Eric is part of his dad’s reelection campaign.
