I'll miss his hipocrisy of being a Clinton impeachment manager, and yet later ignoring Trump's multiple violations of the constitution. He was such a dedicated. gushing fan boy for everything Trump did.
I will also miss his not allowing multiple witnesses to be heard at the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
What loss for our democracy...

wed be mourning the untimely loss of this unquestionable patriot to the unraveling of honor and respect for senate integrity rather than the dishonored unraveler of senate honor and integrity from KY. The Reaper jumped the gun, but Ill thank him nonetheless.

(1,163 posts)Id rather risk losing without Donald Trump than try to win with him, because it will do more damage over time." According to Graham, Trump had run a campaign on xenophobia, race-baiting, religious bigotry that cannot be Republican conservatism.
He was right, but when it came to remaining a Senator or standing up for democracy he climbed right on into [REDACTED]'s colon like the rest of the GOP.
TDS is real, but it is not something progressives have....

(5,256 posts)... One of the lessons Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, pounded home relentlessly was, "GET DIRT ON EVERYBODY!" and don't hesitate to use it. Get 'em by the short curlies, and their hearts and minds will follow.
There is zero doubt in my mind that Trump did exactly that to Graham. For Christ's sake, he fuckin' BRAGGED about doing it to his opponents as a matter of course! What makes anyone think that he'd spare widdoo Windsey? Fuggedaboutit.
I've been watching Trump's clown show for more than 40 years, and constantly getting away with evil shit has only made him worse, if that can be imagined. The entire world is at risk as long as he's in the Oval Office, but America is already well and truly fucked.
Even Jeffrey Epstein said, "...I have met some very bad people, but none as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body. So yes, dangerous."
