Is it time to (electorally) take out Lindsey Graham?

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 3/6/2022 11:41:05 AM

The day before yesterday, South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham caused a political firestorm when he tweeted the following. (Snip) Marcus Junius Brutus was the Roman magistrate who conspired with Roman Senator Gaius Cassius to assassinate Roman dictator Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., while Claus von Stauffenberg led a failed assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler in 1944. Yesterday, Graham doubled down on his comments on Fox and Friends. "I'm hoping someone in Russia will understand he is destroying Russia and you need to take this guy out back any means possible," adding that Russia needed an "Eliot Ness or a Wyatt Earp." Ness was a reference to the prohibition-era agent

what's wrong with what he said? I see nothing offensive or untruthful in that statement - I saw him on Fox and thought that was, sort of, the mood of the people.

Had the USSR and Khrushchev been tied to the JFK assassination--they weren't, and even had Soviet emigre Oswald sent back to America, wanting no part of him--war would have been the result. Murdering a major political figure has caused many a war. Graham needs to stop thinking out loud because he's disastrously bad at it. Chicken hawk. Wussie. Alligator mouth, etc.

Unfortunately, the Voters in SC keep re-electing him. He's been on the Ropes a couple times and always, the Voters pull him up again. So, we're stuck with him. Personally, I think he's kind of "Odd"! And he definitely talks out of Both sides of his Mouth!

I tried! I voted against him in the primaries but had to vote for him in the general election. His demonrat opponent was just too far left wing crazy. I’m hoping that we can dump him next time around. I don’t really have a problem with what he said - we’re all thinking it. It’s just not a good idea for a US Senator to say it out loud in public.

He could have just as well said “he needs to be removed from office”- there was no need to add over the top rhetoric at this point. Nor do any potential putin removers need graham’s advice on what to do- they’ve already thought of it. So such statements do no good and inflame minds. Why are these people so instantly ignited when they are in the know for years and at the front lines with some ability to actually avoid this eventuality? To hear Fox - except for carlson- instantly foam about putin being The Devil Incarnate is exhausting. I for one am tired of their constant attempts to get me exercised while bidet fiddles with ice cream and diapers.

I have agreed with Graham on occasion, and as often called him a damned fool. From the article's record he does seem a man too interested to gain credit where other men's blood is spilled. Petulant. Selfish. And obviously two-faced. Untrustworthy. Let an ordinary man, forewarned of Washington, primary him. His State could not be better served.

I've been doing my part to get rid of sorry Lindsey since I've been in SC. He obviously owns that darn seat. The snake cozied up to Trump and was begging us to not let him get beat by a nobody democrat, and I fell for it. My vote doesn't count and I'll never vote for that snake should have won out. Nobody beat his sorry behind in the primaries, so I did it for PDT. Never a-freakin-gain! Electorally means nothing to me; git 'er done! Brandon is not the only one who needs to be impeached.

When will we ever learn not to fret over what’s going on in the world? Our Democrat party overlords know what’s best for us, and all we have to do is simply follow their suggestions. After all, their solutions are so simple. Take high gas prices for example. So many of us peons worry about the skyrocketing price of gas at the pump, but America’s brilliant Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has a fix for gas prices that’s so easy it’s almost ridiculous.

The catastrophe in Ukraine was the outcome of the combined miscalculations of Vladimir Putin and Western politicians. The Russian leader embarked on a quest to restore his country’s historical greatness, while the West endeavored to preserve the Global World as it was. Both sides were firmly committed to the past, one to the re-establishment of the Soviet Union, the other to the pursuit of an environmentalist fantasy that effectively made Western Europe energy dependent on the Kremlin. The outbreak of war in Europe showed that living in the past was no longer possible. "The Russian Federation supplies a significant volume of fossil fuels and is the largest exporter

The Democrat Party is standing before the scaffold, ready to ascend to the gallows on energy policy. There’s a way to avoid the sentence, but it is expensive to their political prospects and to the American people. They’ve got this coming, and they have only themselves to blame. Under uniquely bipartisan pressure, Biden is considering whether or not to cease U.S. purchase of Russian oil —estimated at 22 million gallons a day. Political affiliation aside, his failure to do so in the face of Russian aggression in Ukraine could be the final straw in the minds of the U.S. citizenry across the spectrum. Ideologically and morally speaking,

Just when you think the Biden administration couldn’t possibly get worse, it finds a way. Gabriel Noronha, a former State Department official, tweeted Wednesday that State, NSC, and European Union officials are warning that “what’s happening in Vienna,” where Biden’s handlers are negotiating a new nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran, “is a total disaster,” and that they’re hoping that “Congress will act to stop the capitulation.” It’s about as likely that Congress will stop this, of course, as it is that Biden’s handlers will send Donald J.

For more than a decade, American presidents stood by while Russian strongman Vladimir Putin had his way with Ukraine. Indeed, going back to the fall of the Soviet Union when Bill Clinton supported the nuclear disarmament of Ukraine, U.S. presidents have had a particular blind spot when it comes to Ukraine. An independent nation on the border of a country that has always seen that nation as one of its possessions could have used an independent nuclear deterrent. But Clinton and then George W. Bush were too busy creating a post-cold war architecture of peace to be concerned about Ukraine. And that’s where Vladimir Putin entered the picture. That “architecture” included solemn guarantees

Democrats are looking to make Ukraine a wedge issue in order to keep control of Congress and get a leg up on the 2024 presidential race. That’s what the attempt to smear the entire Republican Party with the stink of being pro-Putin apologists is about. Every major elected Republican official has come out squarely opposed to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Many Republicans were urging Joe Biden to apply sanctions against Russia even before the invasion. But Democrats and their allies in the media have taken some ignorant comments from Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and have tried to paint the entire GOP as supporting Putin and his war of aggression.

Andy Biggs (R-AZ), ranking member of the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, sent a request to House Democrats requesting authorization to hold the hearing, writing: “There is no known case in which a foreign national who pinged on a terror watch list was simply released on his own recognizance. “The facts in the case strongly suggest that the Biden Administration failed to follow appropriate protocols with respect to suspected terrorists.”

The White House on Sunday rejected the argument that increasing domestic oil production would help lower gas prices, as the cost of oil moves toward record highs. Crude oil prices rose as high as $130.50 a barrel on Sunday evening. White House press secretary Jen Psaki released a set of talking points on social media, arguing against a focus on boosting oil production in the United States. “It’s a reminder that real energy security comes from reducing our dependence on fossil fuels,” Psaki wrote, noting that Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine was causing a spike in oil prices. Psaki pushed back against Republicans calling for more domestic oil production.

Hill argued that Trump’s request for a “personal favor” set the wheels in motion for the invasion. “[I] think there’s just the one point that sums everything up that you yourself touched on is that President Trump at a pretty critical period, withheld military assistance to Ukraine that was desperate for it at that particular junction, basically to get Volodymyr Zelensky to do him a personal favor,” Hill said.

Her last communication was on February 5 when she posted a photo to Instagram of her and her Phoenix Mercury teammates. Now Russia might use Griner as leverage
