...I'm dying with curiosity to see what Putin has on Lindsey. It can't *just* be that he's closeted. In this day and age, nobody cares. It's gotta be something illegal.

I think that they have that kind of evidence on Graham and it may or may not be true. Nothing else makes sense.

I don't think he needs to have anything held over his head to act like a sycophant. He basically did the same thing with McCain. The difference is that McCain presumably didn't spend four years asking him to do illegal and immoral things.

It can't just be that he's gay, which everyone already knows, and nobody particularly cares, even in SC.

Gotta be something actually bad.

That a Biden DoJ will be looking very strongly in his direction. Add to that the real possibility of the Senate flipping and him becoming a back bencher and you have one scared motherfucker.

Graham’s probably NOT the only Repuke senator flexing like this at the Dotard’s request.

He’s just (unfortunately for him) the one that got dimed out for it, which of course shines a light on the scheme and jams it up for the others. OOOPS!

With all the court cases failing like tissue paper dams against a rolling ocean surf, the Commander-In-Cheeto dialed up Sen. Ladybug and probably said “You gotta do this—unless you want a Biden-appointed AG looking back at your strange backdown and lapdogging these last three years and why that is.”

Graham got sloppy.

The Right is always the party that actually provably cheats in elections*

You should know about Leslie McCrae Dowless (R) from N. Carolina, where the nation's sleaziest, most backwards ideas come from.
Dowless is a Righty, "get out the vote" scumbag who ran absentee-ballot scams in both 2016 and 2018 elections.
He was indicted in April.

Is he in jail?
- Not that I know of.
Are the voter-fraud hypocrites at Fox News shouting his name in outrage, and calling for his head?
- Nope.

Leslie McCrae Dowless, Another Carolina sleaze...
