I wouldn't send him any money but he does seem to be walking down a different road lately. Is it all BS? Hell, I don't know but I do know we need to keep him in his seat.

Yes, we need him in the Senate, but he can make it there without me.

I suppose if he were on fire, I would piss on him, if somewhat reluctantly. So, there's that.

He would probably enjoy it, but for the moment he's our lackey, so I'd contribute a pint or two. Of piss, that is.

A confusing man. One day I would support him the next I wouldn't. Have to admit his Kavanaugh moment was spot on and made me proud. Other times not so much.

I don't give money to politicians not even Trump. I haven't met a single politician that doesn't have more money than my wife and I have made combined in our lifetimes. Just something about freely giving money to someone that already has more than I'll ever see that my common sense just won't allow me to do it.
But I do give to Judicial Watch yearly to keep all the bastards honest. To a degree at least.

This for sure. He's been good Lindsey since 10/2018, I'm waiting for the other Lindsey to rear his ugly head.


The "other Lindsey" has already reared his ugly head. Read this column by Sundance of Conservative Treehouse:

https://theconservativetreehou...nes-deep-state-exit/

On Face the Nation, Graham repeated the Deep State cover story that the Russians hacked into Podesta's emails and Hillary's emails.

As Sundance explains, "This ‘Russia-hacking narrative’ is the DC ‘chaff and countermeasures‘; when combined with their ‘by-the-book‘ justifications, it becomes their unified defense. Once you accept their baseline, it becomes much more difficult to expose their unlawful conduct."

Donate to Lindsey Graham? Roll Eyes He is as crooked and deceitful as his dead pal.

Graham:

- supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the deposition of Mubarek
- supported arming the Syrian rebels, escalating our involvement there and leading to the rise of ISIS
- supported sending American troops to Syria
- accepted money from Qatar to influence America building planes for Qatar. Qatar is a leading sponsor of terror and is anti-American and anti-Israel
- still supports amnesty

There is no Graham 2.0. He says nice things and was a military lawyer, so people here in SC think he is a supporter of the military and of Israel. But his actions prove otherwise.




Phone's ringing, Dude.

You can wind your watch by Lindsey. Every six years, he’s a “conservative”. As soon as the election is over, the real Lindsey will resurface. I vote against him in every primary and end up reluctantly voting for him in the general elections just to keep the Democrat out.

As far as money, nope. He’s gotten more than enough of my money already. I’ll not voluntarily give him a dime.

My observation too ^^^^^^^
=======================================

However, when he is acting like a Republican, he can get the fire in his belly and do/say some good stuff.

If you are inclined to donate to him, maybe the best strategy would be to donate a little bit each time he acts like a Republican.

He would probably notice if everyone did this.

Wow. From Sen. Graham.



https://www.oann.com/sen-graha...ing-committee-rules/


OAN Newsroom
UPDATED 11:26 AM PT — Thursday, August 1, 2019

Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham pushed through his asylum bill by waiving committee rules. The legislation narrowly moved out of committee Thursday in a 12-to-10 vote, which means it can now be taken up by the full Senate for consideration.

Graham’s decision allowed Republicans to act alone in making the bill eligible for Thursday’s vote after Democrats skipped last week’s business meeting on the bill. The South Carolina lawmaker defended his actions by saying “the Judiciary Committee can’t be a place where nothing happens.”


We have a right to vote. You don’t want the committee to be ignored by the majority leader of either party, and just take a bill out of our committee and bring it to the floor because we can’t do our business. I’m not changing the rules. I’m making a motion in response to what you did last week.” — Senator Lindsey Graham, (R-S.C.)

His asylum proposal would increase the number of days migrant children can be held in custody, and it would require asylum seekers to file their claims from outside the U.S." ( emphasis mine. )

I will no longer allow our asylum laws to be exploited by human traffickers and cartels.

Unless we change our laws we are aiding and abetting the horrific practices we now see taking place at the southern border.

My bill fixes these problems.

Graham did have a cute snippet for the cameras the other day: RE: Debt Ceiling vote: The House Republicans voted against it en mass, but Graham opined "We (Senate) are shooting real bullets". Good lesson on "votes for optics": the House Republicans were just shooting blanks...

I can't imagine Graham is in a close race - not sure that's going to help adult supervision gain a seat.

Better to wait till later in the cycle and find candidates/races where a bit of additional support might make a difference.

F him and all the other swamp critter incumbents. They are part of the problem. They secretly hate trump, didn’t want him to win, then try to kiss his ass while perpetuating the coup attempts.

So no, no money ever

I don't give any money to any politician. I may make an exception in trumps case but he doesn't need it. The rest of them are corrupt whores. It's only a matter of degrees.

Some of my faith in him was restored when he went on his rant against the Demotards during the Kavanaugh hearing...or debacle...or clown show...or circus...or Kabuki Theatre...or however you wish to look at it.

Whenever I get to feeling too good about the State of Our Union, I know I can tune in to Tucker Carlson and get my mind right.

Thanks, Tucker:


CARLSON: The situation in Afghanistan is so bad and so humiliating for the United States that it’s easy to forget the Biden administration is in control of this country as well, so what have they been doing to us? While that’s been going on, we’ve tried to keep at least one eye open to find out.

Well, it turns out, the Biden administration has been completely remaking the Federal Judiciary as the rest of us have been focused on Afghanistan. In just the past three months, without many people noticing it at all, the administration has gotten a remarkable number of its judges through.

Joe Biden has nominated 33 of them, nine of those judges have already been confirmed, and many more soon will follow.

So for perspective, no President in the past 40 years has come close to these numbers by this point in his first term. Many of these judges and the Biden administration will admit this are full-blown political activists, they are not jurists, they’re left-wing ideologues. They’re people like Myrna Perez who Joe Biden has just appointed to one of the most important courts in the country, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

Myrna Perez has spent the last 15 years campaigning against voter ID laws, anyone who wants voter ID according to Myrna Perez must be a racist. Right before her confirmation hearings began, Perez wrote a piece for a social justice magazine in which she railed against, quote: “The GOP campaign to make elections less free.” Less free? Showing a state ID as do to get on an airplane or buy Sudafed at Walgreens.

So, you would expect the Biden administration to flood the judiciary with lunatics like this. They want power and partisan judges will help ensure that that power goes completely unchecked.

Here’s what you wouldn’t expect and that’s one of the most prominent members of the so-called Conservative Party to spend his time helping the Biden administration do that, but that’s happening. It’s exactly what’s happening.

This summer, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Myrna Perez’s confirmation. Every Republican on the panel voted no except for one. Do you know who that was? It was Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Now, why would Lindsey Graham support the confirmation of someone like Myrna Perez? Well to answer that question, it helps know that this is hardly an isolated case. We checked.

Lindsey Graham is the only Republican on the Judiciary Committee who has not voted to reject a single judge the Biden administration has proposed, no matter how crazy they are. For procedural reasons, in a Senate split 50/50, Lindsey Graham’s support matters very much.

Senate aides tell us that because of Lindsey Graham, one man, the Biden administration is able to rush its nominees through the Senate confirmation process faster than any other President in memory.

So the most radical President of our lifetimes gets the most judges confirmed, thanks to Lindsey Graham. ...


"For example, Brown once wrote an opinion comparing the previous administration to an illegal monarchy. That decision was so crazy that the D.C. Court of Appeals, which leans to the left reversed it not once, but twice.

But it was good enough for Lindsey Graham who voted in favor of Brown’s confirmation. That’s because Lindsey Graham, in case you didn’t notice, spent most of last year begging for your money, money from conservatives at all hours on cable television has no problem installing judges who hate his constituents and you shouldn’t be surprised by that." Emphasis mine
