Legaltitan Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 And utter silence from Graham as Trump goes on Twitter to trash his great friend, a man who was almost like a father to him in the Senate, on the anniversary of his release from the Hanoi Hilton. All to maintain political power. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OILERMAN Posted March 20, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Reek refuses to call out Trump for his non stop attacks on his ol buddy John McCain https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/03/18/lindsey-grahams-remarkably-tepid-defense-john-mccain-after-trumps-attacks/ - Graham never mentions Trump or makes clear what he’s responding to. - He doesn’t address Trump’s attacks on McCain’s vote or really do anything to defend McCain’s congressional record. In fact, Graham says only that McCain’s time as a senator was “consequential,” which is basically what Trump is saying — in a negative way. Other than that, he instead praises McCain in general terms for having “served” and for “his service.” The tweets are almost completely lacking in actual, substantial praise. - He doesn’t respond directly to Trump’s false claims. Graham says nothing about Trump having effectively accused his friend of conspiring with Democrats and trying to stop his election.He also says nothing about Trump sharing former U.S. solicitor general Kenneth Starr’s allegation that McCain’s conduct with regard to the Steele dossier “is unfortunately a very dark stain against John McCain.” It would be one thing to stand up for McCain’s actual conduct or even to rebut specific allegations without mentioning Trump, but Graham does none of that here. It’s about as vanilla a defense as you could imagine. It’s the kind of thing you would expect from basically any senator who is forced into commenting on Trump’s controversies.

Starkiller Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Graham only cares about re-election at this point. Honor is a distant second, at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted March 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Reek(Lindsey Graham) Flies To Mar-A-Lago For Weekend With Trump After Trump Spends The Week Trashing John McCain https://www.inquisitr.com/5355779/lindsey-graham-flies-to-mar-a-lago-for-weekend-with-trump-after-trump-spends-the-week-trashing-john-mccain/ Lindsey Graham is reportedly flying to the Mar-a-Lago report in Florida for a weekend with Donald Trump — after Trump had spent the majority of the week publicly trashing Graham’s longtime friend, John McCain. Trump began launching attacks against McCain last weekend, targeting the now-deceased Arizona senator on a number of fronts including his decision to hand over the Steele dossier to the FBI and for casting the deciding vote against the Republican attempt to repeal Obamacare. It was not clear what prompted the attacks from Trump, which at times turned very personal as Trump insulted the late McCain’s intelligence.

Justafan Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 If Don Jr. comes into the Senate Intel committee, lead by a Republican, and pleads the fifth, that can not be a good look. I would think that might shift more Republican support in the Senate towards stronger oversight. It certainly wouldn't play out well in the media. thor 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burr isn't seeking reelection which is why he was willing to issue the subpoena. Its not a coincidence that Graham has done a 180 on Trump because he's up for reelection in 2020. Guys like Graham will do anything to hang onto power. The Dems do it too. Its one reason I'm in favor of 2 consecutive term limits in the Senate. You have 12 years to govern then you have to do something else before running for the seat again. ChesterCopperpot1, Btowner, and Justafan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oldschool Posted May 14, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 8 minutes ago, Soxcat said: Actually Graham has been pretty level headed over the last couple of years. There are areas where he disagrees with Trump, or those on the right, and has expressed that. He wanted to work a deal which in some people's minds was amnesty but now looks rationale compared to the idiocy coming from the left. His middle ground on immigration is now way far too right for the libtards. Right now Graham is simply reacting to the ridiculous over play by the Dems and their hypocrisy. Same thing he did in the hideous Cavanaugh hearings which were a disgrace. Now take Biden for example. This a guy who has overstayed his welcome? Biden was in the Senate since 1972 before spending 8 years as VP. He has done more ass kissing than anyone. Yes, we should prevent people like Biden from camping out in the Senate. your ignorance is astounding. Graham was one of Trump's biggest critics and previous voting record shows he was against unchecked executive branch power. Now he's all in because he knows morons like you from South Carolina will vote him out if he doesn't align with Trump.
