The fall of Lindsey Graham into the dark Trumpian pit of demagoguery, division and incitement is complete. No one should ever take Graham seriously on a military matter again as Trump abuses the US military with his political stunts and incitement at the border.

Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship.

Then of course this policy doesn't include them! Silly meadowlark!

This also means that four of Trump's five children need to be deported.

McCain’s death must have hit him hard or he has let himself be dominated by the orange maggot.

a 180.

But they must have some really awful stuff on Lindsay. He is grovelling at Trump's feet on a daily basis.

Sick and sad.

Excellent explanation of the 180/360 thing.

And I did enjoy my evening. Spent this morning cooking - a favorite activity - and looking forward to some spectacular short ribs and grits for dinner for my efforts.

As in law. You know, the law of the land. As in what you've sworn to uphold and defend.

It is not a city zoning ordinance to be monkeyed around with by some city council somewhere.

From his senate bio: "Upon graduating from the University of South Carolina School of Law, Graham was commissioned as an officer and judge advocate in the United States Air Force in 1982." Guess since he supposedly knows better, there are other reasons for him falling in line with tRump.
