Graham already said nope but wonā€™t respond to TPM. Change of heart maybe -doubt it but a girl can dream. The GOP is the mob.

Schumer did not get an immediate response.

Itā€™s lunch-time in Washington right now, and Graham is busy tossing Trumpā€™s salad.

Is that some kind of slang euphemism, Iā€™m not aware of, for a degrading sexual act?

And speaking of degrading sexual acts:

He (Adam DiSabato) also said Jordan called him repeatedly in July 2018, after media outlets quoted his brother, Michael DiSabato, saying Straussā€™ abuse was common knowledge to those surrounding the wrestling program, including Jordan.

ā€œJim Jordan called me crying, grovelingā€¦ begging me to go against my brotherā€¦Thatā€™s the kind of cover-up thatā€™s going on there,ā€ he said.

ā€œSenate Republicans have created something very close to a monarchy. If they can keep it.ā€

The problem with monarchies is that while presidents can retire, monarchs are usually deposed by beheading or some equivalent process. So it is sort of a high risk, high reward thing.

Inappropriate but no problem we will just let Trump be Trump -a crime boss.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham says he wonā€™t call Barr to testify based on the Roger Stone situation but expects him to testify for general oversight.

Graham also says itā€™s not appropriate for Trump to be commenting on ongoing cases.

I rather think that something similar to deceased Philippine President Ferdinand Marcosā€™ end is more likely. I can see Jr. commissioning a bust of Trump to be located at Doral Golf Course.

The Aquino government refused to allow Marcosā€™s body to be brought back to the Philippines. The body was only brought back to the Philippines four years after Marcosā€™s death during the term of President Fidel Ramos.[283]

From 1993 to 2016, his remains were interred inside a refrigerated crypt in Ilocos Norte, where his son, Ferdinand Jr., and eldest daughter, Imee, have since become the local governor and congressional representative, respectively. A large bust of Ferdinand Marcos (inspired by Mount Rushmore) was commissioned by the tourism minister, Jose Aspiras, and carved into a hillside in Benguet. It was subsequently destroyed; suspects included left-wing activists, members of a local tribe who had been displaced by construction of the monument, and looters hunting for the legendary Yamashita treasure.[284]

DiSabato responded by calling Jordan a ā€œliar.ā€

ā€œHeā€™s throwing us under the bus, all of us. Heā€™s a coward,ā€ DiSabato said.

Someone should be making a campaign ad with this quote. Just sayinā€™.
