Graham Tries To Invoke Sympathy From Media While Decrying IG Report Coverage | Talking Points Memo

After saying the Russians would never attack Ukraine, recall Trump replying to G Stephanpoulos when he was reminded that the Russians invaded and annexed Crimea. Trump gulped and said “…in a certain kind of way”.
Classic Trump nonsense.

I’ve heard he’s a mimosa man, preferably with a paper parasol sprouting out of it. He’s considers them the ideal palate cleanser following a good self-felch.

"If that’s what you get out of this report, you clearly didn’t read it,” Graham said. “If that’s your takeaway, that this thing was lawfully predicated and that’s the main point, you missed the entire report. How do you get a headline like that? That’s what you want it to be.”

“You’re all stupid. You don’t even know how to read and comprehend the meaning of a report. I’m smart, though. I’ll tell you what it really means. Bill Barr is smart, too. And honest. He’ll tell you what you should report as fact and truth. And President Trump … never told a lie in his life. He’s a, like, really smart stable genius. You can report what he says as the truth coming directly from the Chosen One.”

Who’s Graham’s opposition candidate again?

Yes. Yes they would be OK with it.

The Russians are seen as “White, Christians” and Putin as “A Great Defender of Christianity” (a view he has carefully stage-managed via massive bribes to the entirely corrupt Russian Orthodox Church who now do his bidding at every turn) thus they are A.O.K. with the Talibangelists that dominate the Republican Party now.

Face it. As long as White, Male Christians get to be in charge and rule with an iron fist over all the “mud people”, they don’t care if it’s all run by Dictators, as long as it’s run by THEIR Dictators.

Thus the “Better Russian than Democrat” T-Shirts.

Hey Miss Lindsey - you need to have a sit down with Kathy Griffin if you think poor Carter Page has had it so rough.

This is extremely insulting to African Americans and proof positive that the GOP is both beyond shame and extremely desperate.

This is not an election in 2020 for the GOP. This is a U.S. made in their fantasy.

Or not.

It’s bigger than that. Widen your perspective.

‘frieh spiech’ is an important crutch in this era. Snatch it from them and the neo-GOP and their sycophants don’t have a leg to stand on.
