More dirt on the Screaming Senator from SC (Lindsey)...

https://investigaterussia.org/media/2018-09-11/russian-money-behind-grahams-growing-defense-trump

Is Russian Money Behind Graham's Growing Defense of Trump?

The Intellectualist, a left-leaning news aggregator, points out that Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has received at least $800,000 in campaign donations from a man with ties to Putin-allied oligarchs, which could explain why the Senator has been increasingly supportive of President Trump lately.

I would suppose people are turned off by someone who is gay masquerading as someone they are not. I would think that everyone, including gays, would find it disarming. /Similar charges have been leveled at the Turtle.

8. "The Intellectualist" Media fact check - Rated High.
Mon Oct 1, 2018, 08:27 PM
Oct 2018

The Intellectualist

The Intellectualist - Left Bias
LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation.
They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.

Factual Reporting: HIGH

Notes: The Intellectualist is a news aggregation website that primarily uses left-center sources. Most sources are credible, however we rate the Intellectualist left biased because almost all stories are favorable to the left or damaging to the right. The Intellectualist is factual in sourcing, but biased based on story choices. (3/9/2017)

Left leaning and Factual rated High.

Cool.

It cannot be stated often enough, however.
The level of corruption is far beyond anything I recognize.
Corruption has always existed but the unbelievably blatent display by the people who took control of power in the US govt is critical to our existance.

I just googled The Intellectualist since I was unfamiliar with the site.
Several fact check links came up.
The couple I chose to read all gave a reliable rating.

This is the link I selected.

Apears legit.
Pays to check however.

I was wondering if he is being blackmailed? If so, he needs to get real, we all KNOW he is gay. Maybe one or more of his conquests have blackmail material on him that they gave to tRump. Once on the privacy of the golf course, he certainly changed his tune on tRump.

and Jack Nicolson and "You Can't Handle the Truth".

Compare Lindsey Graham and "You've got nothing to apologize for'.
They are both easy to google. Lindsey comes off as a finger shaking
shaking wimp and Nicolson as a real bad-ass. Of course they are both
guilty of a cover-up.

And, it's not what most people are suspecting, either. I also would be completely not-surprised if that $800K figure is low-balling what he's gotten from foreign donations.
