Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday warned that 2018 could be a year of “extreme danger,” citing growing tensions with North Korea and Iran.

“We’ve got a chance here to deliver some fatal blows to some really bad actors in 2018. But if we blink, God help us all,” the South Carolina Republican added on CBS's "Face the Nation."

Graham has been outspoken about the threat of war between the U.S. and North Korea, saying he believes there’s a 30 percent chance the U.S. will use military force if North Korea conducts another long-range ballistic missile test.

He added that the odds increase to 70 percent if North Korea detonates another nuclear bomb.

1. Is that what Trump's ass is telling you, Linz?

[Hortensis]

44. That's what he's blowing up Trump's ass.

Both were concerning but not close to being extremely dangerous under Obama's responsible leadership. There's no reason we should be trying to deal "fatal blows" to either of these nations.

[Roy Rolling]

2. Of course

And he's doing everything he can to make it a self-fulfilling prophesy. It's all about the TV time to them.

Happy New Year, Don. I'm a media professional and enjoy your posts.

[DonViejo]

7. Thank you, Roy and Happy New Year to you as well!

[Laf.La.Dem.]

3. I am sure the Graham and Trump families will be the first to join the Military!

[Marthe48]

4. The enemy is within

The U.S.A. is facing more extreme danger from trump family evil empire and every single person, including graham, who aided and are abetting, the illegal installation of putin's figurehead.

[bluestarone]

5. yep our biggest threat is

The Repubs in congress!!!! They ALL need to be removed!!!!

[They_Live]

40. That's right.

And I have been telling them that in my frequent phone calls.

[dalton99a]

6. Good ol' Lindsey is wanting some attention

THEN:




NOW:

[2naSalit]

10. And spewing

warmonger hype always delivers for him. He's such a F'ing weasel, no offense to actual weasels.

32. Graham is a frikn lambe (lick ass! ) trumpf gave him his

..talking points- go out my boy and instill fear and threaten the masses wth nuclear annialation. Just what did trumpf promise him, Secretary of State ?

Well, we know how he played Romney for that job given how Romney bashed him during the campaign. Graham said even worse and there is one thing we know for certain, and that is any slight will not be forgotten by trumpf. trumpf will use Graham until he's is no longer a useful tool. If I had 'national' standing wth DMC/dems or was a dem official pundit (I dont, am not; yet albeit anyone of us here at du would take repubs to task in nano) yet, if I did..I'd call them out, their threat, bluff about war --I'd say go ahead...do it!

trumpf has threatened nuclear war all year and now according to lambe Graham, we are to expect more threats from trumpf about NK in 2018. Dems response to Graham 1) aren't you a senator, and doesn't congress have to approves an act of war? 2. what's in it for you Graham 3) and hell ..just do it call his bluff, brush him off. If he can flippantly say nuclear war ....then we can too.

Yet, dems cower ...Why? Because we care, it's our nature to care about everything and everyone on the planet and repubs know we care. Repubs don't care about anyone else except themselves as we just witnessed from the wads of free money, I mean tax cuts they all just stuffed in their pockets.

Besides folks no-one is bombing anyone...it's a'll a farse. Putin is orchestrating his finger puppets. It seems that whenever trumpf needs a distraction, miracously or by Putin's design, Kim fires a missile.

So, dems out there...just say to lambe Graham as he goes out and moonlights for eltrumpf and spews propaganda about war ..say go ahead then, just do it. F#!#@!# cowards!

[pangaia]

12. WHY does the news media never call out these republican assholes

for things like this they said about the sick fuck in the past??

Don't bother answering,,,

[gopiscrap]

19. Because the media is owned by fucking republicans

who only care about profits

[yurbud]

8. We are only in danger if we act rashly and the rest of the world decides we've lost our minds

neither North Korea or Iran could attack the US and expect to survive our retaliation.

We may not like their leaders or their policies, and they may even be evil people, but you don't reach that level of power by being stupid. Except Trump.

[Martin Eden]

17. It's bad enough the US president is mentally unfit ...

... but we also have warmongers like Graham creating a narrative to frame a war against Iran or NK as inevitable and necessary.

[yurbud]

29. It's almost like we need to say what our military budget & number of nukes is compared

to the rest of the world to everyone we meet everyday to counteract the bullshit from Washington and the MSM.

[Martin Eden]

30. And yet, Americans are easily manipulated through fear

The world has much more to fear from us, especially with a vindictive malignant narcissist with his finger on the button.

[FakeNoose]

9. The GOP only has one worry in 2018

They're going to lose it all! And we're going to do it.

[pangaia]

11. Oh, shit. Getting us softened up, are ya.... asshole!!

“We’ve got a chance here to deliver some fatal blows to some really insane pieces of shit republicans in 2018. But if we blink, God help us all,”

PANGAIA said over coffee

[kstewart33]

13. Good ole Lindsey.

Never saw a US war that he didn't like.

[Scarsdale]

15. He has a

snarl on his face constantly. I wonder what tRump has on him, to make him change so fast? Rand Paul changed, too. Both after golfing with the orange ass. Either they took Russian $$$ or he has blackmail material on them.

[TexasBushwhacker]

20. Proof that Graham is gay perhaps?

It shouldn't matter, but for their team it does.

[Scarsdale]

24. Most of us do not care,

however who is his "partner"? Maybe HE cares. McCain?

[TexasBushwhacker]

37. But that's what I'm saying

Dems don't give a shit. Some GOP might not care but many do.

[dflprincess]

39. Does Graham really think no one suspects that?

Or would care if he was?

If he ever does come out it will be one of those cases where we have to assume the person coming out was the last to know.

[Retrograde]

27. Lemme guess -

Another chicken hawk who thinks wars are something other people fight and die in? Or is he angling for a cabinet post - or something more?

[Callmecrazy]

14. Where is he getting his numbers?

30%? Then up to 70% if NK tests another rocket? I'd like someone to call him out on his math alone. Shut him right down with his bullshit.

I wish our leadership would stop trying to scare us with the threats of war.

[WhiteTara]

16. POS helped make the world more dangerous.

I hope Mueller finds a spot in the lineup for him.

[CousinIT]

18. That's how orange menace is going to salvage his authoritarian regime. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

21. So He's ready to impeach/imprison Trump to give a fatal blow to

a bad actor?

[Cryptoad]

22. Sorry LIndsey,,,,,,

our greatest danger is much closer than Iran, Iraq, Et al; Thanks GOP

[GoCubsGo]

23. No shit, Sherlock.

Did you think we haven't noticed your war-mongering, and that of Trump and the rest of your sleazebag party for the past year, you dipshit?

[red dog 1]

25. Graham on Trump: "I said he was a xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot."

(From this morning's "Face the Nation" transcript)

(Graham goes on)
"Health care, there's a debate between federalism and socialism. I don't know of one Republican who wants to repair Obamacare. I don't know one Democrat who wants to replace it..So we're not going to come together on health care."

"Health care, there's a debate between federalism and socialism"??

WTF does that even mean?

Why didn't Face the Nation host Major Garrett follow up on that stupid statement made only seconds before by Graham?

Why didn't Garrett ask Graham what he thought about the inevitable upcoming cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as a result of the recently passed $1.5 trillion tax bill?

I've been watching Face the Nation for years..
In the past, they didn't let liars like Lindsay Graham get away with spouting bullshit.
They used to ask good "follow-up" questions.
But not anymore.
Now they bend over backwards to kiss every single Republican's ass, and they regularly interrupt Democrats, (they never seem to interrupt GOP assholes like Lindsay.Graham)
At one point in today's show, host Major Garrett said to Graham:
"That was a lightning round and you did a spectacular job."



K&R, thanks for posting, Don Viejo.

[COLGATE4]

26. Because Major Garrett is a product of Fux News.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Graham wants very much to be SoS, I think.

And now that it's clear that Tillerson's days in that job are numbered, Graham has planted his lips firmly on Orange Foolius' jiggly orange butt cheeks like a remora on a shark. It's also possible that there's some convenient kompromat floating around which Trump obtained from his Russian comrades, and if so it must be spectacularly scandalous, considering that GOPers seem to be comfortable with routine pussy-grabbing and occasional fits of child molestation. So maybe there are videos involving Lindsey getting down with farm animals or Cub Scouts? Or farm animals and Cub Scouts?

[SummerSnow]

31. Enabler says what?

[usaf-vet]

33. What a delusional A$$ he is and always has been.

What is this WE shit. It won't be "we". As always it will be the young volunteers that were the uniform that will bear the brunt of any war with North Korea and/or Iran.

If he and Trump think they can start a nuclear war and not kill millions of innocent humans they are sick. Starting with the 10's of thousand of US citizens in South Korea.

[Kablooie]

34. It will be extreme danger because Mueller will be closing in on Trump.

And Trump will start a war to distract from the charges and prevent himself from being removed.
You know he will. He doesn't care a fig about people's lives, only his own.

[Deb]

35. The GOP should really be afraid of their "extreme leadership"

Graham is just helping his fearful brethren save face for when they go in 2018 hiding.

[angrychair]

36. Way to go you loon

Straight out of the republican playbook:
keep the masses in line with fear and uncertainty, re-enforce republicans are the only ones that can save America”

[YOHABLO]

38. The danger is a Republican majority in the House and Senate. And a fool for President.

[Skittles]

41. translation: WE WILL USE WAR AS A DISTRACTION FROM TRUMP

warmongering bastards

[DFW]

42. If Graham wants to confront our greatest threat

He has merely to show up at work on the Senate floor, say good morning to his majority leader and fellow Republicans colleagues, and then pay a visit to his beloved psycho at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Pyöngyang and Tehran are minor irritants by comparison.

[still_one]

43. If the republicans still control congress he is correct

[Javaman]

45. in other news: the repuke party delivers their message of good fear for the coming year!

I fucking hate these bastards.
