Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has perhaps made the biggest flip-flop yet seen as the GOP races to reverse former comments condemning the confirmation of Supreme Court justices during an election year.
Well Graham is getting beat to hell on Twitter. And if most of the people who are taking him to task live SC then old Lindsey may need a security detail if he wants to step foot in SC again. And if the chastisers are not from SC, then he might was well stay safe, stay put, and phone it in.
Guess I’ll have to give Jaime Harrison some more $$.
Will people who were on the fence decide to vote for Lil’ Lindsey because he’s proved himself to be a pusillanimous ass-kisser once again? Or will such people maybe decide to vote for Harrison because they are tired of Lindsey’s shenanigans? I bet more of the undecided will choose the second option.
I really am curious what kind of kompromat Trump and McConnell–and of course Putin–have on Lindsey Graham. He really can be got to dance to their tunes.
What a shock that Senator Being Blackmailed Is Really Okay By Me does not show any gumption on any front again. Wow. Oh, and look for Senator Concerned to vote in favor of whatever super creep they put up to replace RBG. No matter what she’s saying today. Transparency in government here means that only maybe babies and dead people can’t see what they’re going to do. Maybe babies can too. I don’t mean to besmirch baby wisdom.
This is going to backfire spectacularly on these assholes. And then we get to reform, i.e. expand (not “pack” because it has a negative connotation) after we retake the Senate, keep the House, and inaugurate President Biden and Vice President Harris.
Like Josh said, it’s time to plan for ACTION.
P.S. I just donated $50 to Jaime Harrison’s campaign with a 20% tip. Anyone want to match me?
McConnell can grant three special dispensations, or tolerate three defections from
“principled” Republicans, and let Pence be the deciding confirmation vote.
So Lindsey first started kissing up to Benedict Donald I thought he was either caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl–the former being somewhat more likely, not that he would probably mind being caught any old way if it wouldn’t cost him an election–but the specious speed of this reversal makes me think it might have been both; the fear of god is surely heavy on that fella.
