Graham already said nope but won’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.

It’s lunch-time in Washington right now, and Graham is busy tossing Trump’s salad.

Is that some kind of slang euphemism, I’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 Strauss’ abuse was common knowledge to those surrounding the wrestling program, including Jordan.

ā€œJim Jordan called me crying, groveling… begging me to go against my brother…That’s the kind of cover-up that’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.

Yep. 52.5 Senators. I’d say bought and paid for, but they gave themselves away for free.

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

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham says he won’t call Barr to testify based on the Roger Stone situation but expects him to testify for general oversight.

Graham also says it’s not appropriate for Trump to be commenting on ongoing cases.

I rather think that something similar to deceased Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos’ 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 Marcos’s body to be brought back to the Philippines. The body was only brought back to the Philippines four years after Marcos’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€œHe’s throwing us under the bus, all of us. He’s a coward,ā€ DiSabato said.

Someone should be making a campaign ad with this quote. Just sayin’.
