Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) says he threw his support behind President Trump as the House debated articles of impeachment against the President Wednesday.
Graham told the Times then that he warned Trump in a phone call against seeking a post-impeachment payback, and instead suggested him to āget back to being President and have a good story to tell.ā
āListen, when you look at the last week, youāve accomplished some things that would be a great year for any normal president,ā Graham saidā¦
Graham cited Trumpās success in packing the courts with his appointees.
āSo Mr. President, youāve got a lot to be proud of,ā Graham said. āTake your case to the American people. But if you get a second term, I think that says a lot about the impeachment process.ā
You bloody, southern fried idiot. That wasnāt Trump. That was #ditchMoscowMitch.
Graham is such a hypocritical sycophantic lapdog, I have run out of words. So I will remind you of his:
1 / Trump is ⦠āa race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesnāt represent my party. He doesnāt represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.ā
2 / āDonald Trump is not a conservative Republican. Heās an opportunist. Heās not fit to be president of the United States.ā
āSo Mr. President, youāve got a lot to be proud of,ā Graham said.
āThat inauguration crowd ⦠biggest ever.
The mounting federal deficits and debt due to the tax cuts for the rich and corporations ⦠incredible.
Stealing money appropriated for the military, including for schools on military bases, to build your stupid wall ⦠stroke of stable genius.
The corruption and criminality ⦠who could top that?
Being considered a fucking moron ⦠the biggest ever.ā
With the NBC/WSJ poll, the final numbers on impeachment are in:
Since Pelosiās declaration 84% Dems, 43% Indies and 10% of Republicans support impeachment.
Overall, itās 48% in favor, 43% opposed.
These are very strong numbers. What makes them even stronger is that the polls mix questions asking about āimpeachment inquiryā vs. āimpeachā vs āimpeach/removeā. If you pulled these out (and I havenāt done so) youād get inquiry in the high 50s, impeach in the low to mid 50s and impeach/remove in the 48-46 range. Impressive from the Dems. Very impressive. Itās a real life example of the Overton Window in action.
