SEN. GRAHAM COMPARES FLORIDA VOTE COUNTS TO KAVANAUGH: ‘THE LAW BE DAMNED!’
Daily Caller ^ | Nov 9, 2018 | Virginia Kruta

Posted on 11/10/2018 7:13:09 PM PST by upchuck

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham took aim at the vote count confusion taking place in Florida, tweeting on Friday that — just like during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process — Democrats don’t allow the law to stand in the way of the desired outcome.

Graham began his thread by quoting a tweet from current Gov. (and, for now, Senator-elect) Rick Scott about the ongoing drama along with his own assessment.

He said, “When it comes to confirming judges and counting votes, Democrats are amazingly consistent — The law is NO obstacle to the outcome they seek.”

Graham doesn't support full-blown amnesty anymore. He's backing Trump on birthright citizenship (is going to introduce a bill), and he's on board with the other aspects as well, such as the wall and no chain migration.

I was all-in on Graham, but when the delusional, utterly-bizarre, Sessions-worshiping reality-denying Deeply Deep Deepstatist chimes in on his behalf, I now have to rethink my support.

Linda is going to have to toe the line for a decade or so before I’ll go back to enjoying his Clintoon impeachment chops brought to the present.

You know that Paul Sperry said that Sessions was perhaps the most ethical Senator he came across. He'd make an arrow look crooked.

You can argue about his conduct as AG. Not sure if it's by design or if Sessions really was incompetent, but him being a Deep State actor is laughable.

BTW, Sessions is a former Army captain who can be recalled. Think military tribunals in Gitmo. Guarantee you Sessions will be presiding over or will be called as a witness.

WHOA.....

This is as close to an "I'm sorry, I was wrong" as I ever expect to get from you.

Thank you for that.

On the topic of the thread, I really do like the New McCain-Free Lindsey Graham.

I was beginning to like Graham until I saw your post supporting him, and now I must re-think. Based on your unwavering support for the do nothing important Mr Sessions, going forward I should remain skeptical.

This from the same Graham, who has repeatedly warned/threatened Trump regarding the grossly illegal Mueller/Rosenstein/Sessions collusion with the DNC/Russians/British to carry out a coup’d etat, and absolutely worked to thwart a border wall, and repeatedly spoken and acted against President Trump on clearly spelled out executive authority.

Graham would not lift a finger against Obama’s and Hillary’s many actual illegal orders which actually were reserved for Congress, and Obama’s and Hillary’s secret tech and strategic materials transfers to the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians.

Knowing the Jeff Sessions Trojan horse/gate keeper/”insurance policy” has exited the picture, Graham (a real globalist for years), really could be posturing to win brownie points to try and obtain Sessions position, in order to carry out the “insurance policy”.

Only a person without discernment, lack of character, or a fool would believe Graham just suddenly is no longer a GOP-e/RINO progressive globalist, as he has proven for many years.

No, I am not willing to gamble the our survival as a free independent nation to a globalist!

Re: “Jeff Sessions being a Deep State actor is laughable.”

The fact that Sessions never responded to at least a dozen FOIA requests that pertain to DOJ and FBI political corruption, and that Sessions made Congress and Judicial Watch go to court to compel release of what were clearly incriminating documents, tells me everything I need to know about Sessions.

Lindsey Graham is not running for Attorney General.

He is running for president, in 2020 or 2024.

Agreed, and at a minimum.

Over the 12 years a FReeper, I made the occasional remark about Graham’s amazing potential. And we’re seeing it again today, but why? I believe it has to do with the absence of McCain.

The law is NO obstacle to the outcome they seek////

Not to mention honor and integrity, much less shame.

Not in 2020 unless Trump retires. As for 2024 I suspect he’ll do as well as in 2016.

Good post. Graham has a long long track record of rinoism.

Anyone buying into the new and improved Linda are complete morons.

Thank God for you, Senator Graham. Wish others had some signs of a backbone. We are being intimidated by an army of bullies who get away with what they do because no one will risk standing against them. It is often true that bullies melt away like snowmen on a sunny day when met with real resistance. All of us have seen that happen in high school. It is a law of nature.

...”They’re never held accountable, they ignore subpoenas, ignore election reporting deadlines, constantly defraud the US every election, nothing ever happens. Why wouldn’t they keep it up?”...

This has to stop now and serious punishment needs to be carried out to bring justice to the American people and to let others know that this is not going to be a part of our election process.

The next two years should be full-scale prosecution of all Democrats for any reason, across the full scope of criminal and civil law.

Agreed, punishment goes a long way in correcting problems. We have refused to take on this task and for the life of me I don’t understand why. We here talk and more talk over and over, we have the evidence smacking us acoss the face every time and it just withers away until the next time it happens. Who will step up and administer the punishment? We need to grab this by the neck and follow thru or it will never end and we will ultimately come to an end

USE THE POWER OF THE TAX PAYERS MONEY TO INVESTIGATE CHARGE AND JAIL ALL OF THEM ONE AT A TIME. Best use of our money by far, agree?

One at a time is too slow. Charge them all at once, allow no bail, and take sweet time adjudicating them.

McCain dies..?

Suddenly Lindsey starts acting A LITTLE like a man.

Weird, but I’ll take it.

Let’s hope he keeps it up.
