This is what a weasel looks like when it's backed into a corner

The truth is going to come out one day, you traitorous slimeball. I'm glad I'm not you.

I wonder.

We may never know what Russia has on him, or what Drumpf said to turn him.

I'd wager the truth is far more boring than anything remotely salacious. He's just one of many who have no ethical or moral compass. It's all about the power.

After all, look at the rest of the Republicans. Trump pretty much owns them all except for the 3 gamely trying to run against him for office ... and they're not very convincing either.

I think that he was instrumental in getting to this point. Drumpf would not have the republican party by the nads if it weren't for Graham and McConnell's support.

Well, he's a 64 year old man who's never married and never had a girlfriend. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I just think it says something about his political ambition and pliability in a conservative place like South Carolina, if you know what I mean.

I think that all takes a backseat to whatever kompramat Putin or Trump or Putin/Trump has on him.

...which is probably related.

This is why he has prostrated himself in front of Trump - so that he still has hope of influencing the madman into going to a stupid war. He said we'd be able to "break the regime's back." Damn, what an idiotic thing to say.

I know that you didn't intend this to be homophobic, but it is. I don't think you're prejudiced against LGBTQ people (in fact, I know you're not), so my comment isn't about your attitudes or beliefs. It's about the statement.

Veiled homophobia isn't cute, even when you wrap it in a disclaimer. I know of no reason to think that Lindsey Graham is gay, and I don't understand your need for his sex life to be visible and legible to you. He could just as easily be asexual or aromantic, or single for a million other reasons. Your implication is that he is both gay and dishonest, which is at the core of homophobic characterizations of homosexuals.

Duly noted. Personally, I don’t give a rat’s patoot about folks’ love life or relationships, as long as they’re not inherently abusive, but I honestly believe in Graham’s case it’s probably a well-known secret, and the political hypocrisy of that is where my comment came from.
