His fight for Brett Kavanaugh completed his transformation into Donald Trump’s slobbering manservant.
The battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court was an especially ugly episode of a reality-show presidency that degrades almost everyone swept up in it, and many characters stagger away from it looking worse than ever.
That’s Senator Lindsey Graham you see at the head of the pack. That’s Graham you hear talking and talking and talking some more, in committee rooms and on stages and before the television cameras that he rushes to the way a toddler chases soap bubbles. His words are whichever ones guarantee a major role and a powerful patron, which means that these days he sounds like a more articulate echo of his golfing buddy: Donald Trump.
That wouldn’t, by itself, be cause to dwell on him. Washington is lousy with lackeys, and not even the maddest of kings thins their ranks.
But Graham is special. He really is. I can’t think of another Republican whose journey from anti-Trump outrage to pro-Trump obsequiousness was quite so illogical or half as sad, and his conduct during the war over Kavanaugh completed it. For the president he fought overtime, he fought nasty and he fought without nuance.

It seems their common ground is now, er, under ground.
The Progressive wing of the party must be taken down. Sadly it reflects a substantial minority of citizens who have been tutored by the gimme establishment. Ending socialism in the educational system is the key to saving Constitutional government.
It all happened once he was free of McCain.
Lindsey is afraid of a Trump backer primary challenge in 2020. I am great full for his efforts with Kananagh but I have no illusions about how he will vote on immigration and the wall. He owned by the Global (formerly the US) Chamber of Commerce and open borders.
He is up for reelection in two years so he will have to toe Trump for a while to keep from losing a primary. He saw what happened to Corker and flake. But, he is still an open border traitor scum. I expect him to revert to form after the election of 20202.
Better Trump's than McCain's.
“The Teee Pardy Hobbits…”
“They’r’a buncha WACKO-birds!”
That’s all I can hear when I think of McCain.
That and the old favorite, “If they wanna damn wall, I’ll build’m’a damn wall...” And never following through.
…And running on a platform to repeal Obamacare, then back-stabbing his constituents to keep it alive. All out of spite for President Trump.
The Lindsey Graham that emerged during the Ford/Kavanaugh hearing is the Lindsey Graham I remember from the House Manager’s Clinton impeachment investigation. I don’t know where he went in the interim...but I was glad to see that side of him again.
The Slimes had no problem with him being the slobbering manservant of their idol McCain.
Ending socialism in the educational system is the key to saving Constitutional government.
****************
The educational system is failing our students. The system’s number one goal should be the development of critical thinking skills. Instead, it wants to produce gullible lemmings. Its a national disgrace.
We all make countless decisions in our daily lives, some more important than others, but the ability to discern fact from fiction and assess potential consequences is a critical element of success in life as it is in a profession.
Group think is killing the country.
That writer makes Lindsay look like a masculine stud.
I swear I thought that was a photoshop! When someone texted it to me yesterday, it was tiny on the phone, and I wasn’t sure it was real. It looks like he tugged the woman’s shirt partly off and was proud of it, adjusting his tie after! (The cops arm looks like her belly)
Those tightly pressed lips, chin down, and smile say “I am superior to you.” It’s disgusting really.
