Why did Lindsey Graham say "It's my job to explain this to the president"?

[Towlie]

Does he not agree with the late John McCain's statement that ""We are not the President's subordinates, we are his equals"?

[awesomerwb1]

1. Because he's already

the AG in his own mind. Brown nosing on steroids.

[lapfog_1]

2. John is dead... Lindsey needed a new "daddy" figure and found Trump. - n/t

[Sneederbunk]

3. They probably have a golf date this weekend.

[Meadowoak]

4. Future jail husbands

[Claritie Pixie]

5. Because The Menace trusts him.

I know it’s wishful thinking but I’m holding out some hope Graham is playing him. His performance yesterday was just bizarre.

[SummerSnow]

21. Trump knew he had Lindsay right where he wanted him

when Lindsay stabbed his longtime friend on the back for him

[Squinch]

38. I was hoping that same hope, but his disgusting performance these last few days tells me there's no

way that's true.

[BigmanPigman]

6. He's a grand stander.

He perceives himself to be the second coming.

[Vinca]

7. Just from reading the Woodward book, it sounds like Lindsey is the " 'splainer-In-Chief."

Trump doesn't understand anything about anything. Lindsey is like the patient parent who has to teach a kid about not crapping his pants his entire life.

[OneBro]

29. I'm currently reading it.

It’s riveting, but I find that I need emotional breaks. It is aptly titled “Fear.”

[Vinca]

32. So far the worst part about it is the picture of Trump on the dust jacket. LOL.

I feel like turning it inside out so I don't have to look at him.

[OneBro]

33. There are limits.

The human stomach can only take so much.

[peekaloo]

8. Senator Graham is an

Asshole Whisperer.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. The visual image of that is... disturbing.

[dalton99a]

28. A highly accurate title

[rusty fender]

31. Hahaha

Touché

[mythology]

9. He's a whiz with crayons, somebody has to try to dumb things down for Trump

[lindysalsagal]

37. NO no no! Washable markers! But wear your apron!

[nature-lover]

10. Wouldn't Grassley notify him? They should all sign on to request the FBI investigation.

[dalton99a]

11. Lindsey Graham is the Devin Nunes of the Senate

As a U.S. Senator, it is his duty to serve the president

just like what they do in Russia

[lagomorph777]

12. Because he's the President's poodle. President Putin's poodle, I mean.

[Jersey Devil]

13. It was his Alexander Haig moment

When Reagan was shot Al Haig said "I am in charge here" and Lindsey was inspired by it.

[Initech]

15. Because the Orange Asshole doesn't read and needs everything explained to him?

[empedocles]

16. Lindsay needs to be watched.

Impolite to say anything but unfavorable things about Lindsey here today especially. However, 'Lindsay' is very sharp and outspoken for a republicon.
In his trump remark, there may have been more to it then what one would guess reading these type threads today. Humor, often needed, and is often telling, as Freud noted.

[SummerSnow]

17. He knows his role

[empedocles]

20. I suggest Lindsey knows both his 'roll' and his 'role'

[empedocles]

23. I respectfully suggest, Lindsey knows both his 'roll' and his 'role'

[PearliePoo2]

18. Because BLOTUS is so FUCKING STUPID he doesn't know how any of this works!

When he was asked in an interview about the FBI re-opening the investigation, he said he'd leave it up to the Senate to do what they want.

So Lindsay has to go and explain, "No Mr. President, you have to authorize it."

FUCKING MORON!

[KayF]

19. just have Fox and Friends explain it to him n/

[Flaleftist]

22. Don't forget to bring your crayons. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. It's part of his AG audition.

[Meadowoak]

30. Lindsey said he might have GrASSleys job next year.

[Patterson]

26. Trump and/or Putin have something on him.

He's been 100% Trump ever since their golf game.

[Thrill]

27. Yeah that whole checks and balances thing

[Sancho]

34. tRump or Putin? Graham apparently got his dough from Russia...

[greyl]

35. Perpetual feigned martyrdom of a greedy carnival televangelist. nt

[lindysalsagal]

36. They know it won't air on faux snooze.

Because they lost, and looked like idiots.
