Don’t go trying to rehabilitate Thom Tillis. He’s always been a weathervane, and the fact that he’s jumping ship now could be viewed as him forecasting a big fucking shitstorm about to hit Donaldville. If so, I hope he’s right, but it doesn’t make up for the years up on years of fuckitude he has wrought on the people of NC and more lately the rest of the country. He has no core principles. He tied to have one once, and it got so unbearably lonely that it ran away to a farm upstate. Tillis shepherded an amendment to the state constitution through a referendum that he admitted would be repealed within 10 years if it withstood a constitutional challenge (which it did not). He knew it was bollocks, and he whipped it anyway not because he believed in it (he didn’t) but because it benefitted him politically. And two years later he had landed himself a seat in the US Senate, courtesy of his ALEC bona fides. I don’t know what this newfound sack is about, what he’s triangulating for now, but he doesn’t believe what he’s saying now either. But whatever his eye is on after the Senate, he figures having shown a suggestion of a spine will help his cause. And if that’s a lobbying gig, it very well might. Or not. I know lobbyists are even more craven than politicians, and subject to far fewer ethical rules, but I’m not sure having a slinky for a spine is a winning resume item on K Street.
What I *am* pretty sure of is that this sudden attack of mavericity is not the result of some kind of Damascus Road Experience™.
Who is going to become the next leader of Cuba? Place your bets. I'm going with goose-stepping Stephen Miller. That way trump can get rid of him while rewarding him at the same time.
If a never married (nor has been seen with a woman) 70 year closeted racist man that wears a sharp suit every day....well would you let your son go and get haloween candy from his house unobserved ?
Just sayin'
But this COMPLETELY unrelated to the Lindsay Graham topic on this post.
For some reason im thinking about a Radiohead song.
Sorry for the language, but why the absolute fuck is TwoFirstNames even being considered for DHS secretary? He's a plumber whose education ended in an associate's degree in...construction technology. So I'm sure he could tell us all about how to caulk a toilet or give a lecture on nail guns, but please tell me how that translates into heading a Cabinet department that includes agencies like CBP, ICE, FEMA, and FLETC (where federal law enforcement goes for basic training). I mean, I'm a certifiable idiot, and even I'm more qualified.
That, plus he challenged a witness to a fight during a Senate committee hearing in which Bernie Sanders had to (verbally) restrain him.
And poor Lindsay Graham. He must still have PTSD from his tour of duty at the Kabul Marriott surrounded by guards while he cosplayed as an Air Force officer...
Easy math: Taint-licking loyalist + a governor who will appoint a replacement senator as directed / Clubby R senators biased for guys who laugh at their sexist jokes in the cloakroo..
I have this feeling that Graham needs some adjustments to his meds.
We're marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race!
these whackadoodles like Miller is going anywhere. Tillis is as big a jackass as Markwayne if that is his name sounds made up to me.
Mark-Wayne is out of his depth in a hot tub,
“Free Cuba.”
No, no, he just wants a rum-and-Coke with lime!
Randy Newman was definitely not thinking of Linsey when he wrote that song about the hat
Geez - Lindsey really sounds like he's lost whatever political inhibitions he might have had. Could he be suffering from dementia, too?
I am having trouble reconciling "We're marching through the world. We're clearing out the bad guys" with "America First!!!!" Maybe it's just me.

A revival of "The Producers" would hit pretty well right about now.
Think about this.

Creep?
Win!
Can't wait for the enlistment numbers to come out every quarter. If we have that long.
My kids have bone spurs? Have an allergy to lead? Explosions spook them? Etc.
Making it all the more likely That Asshole in the White House™ will restart the draft.
" the leading asshole in the country"
Much like Governor LePetomane.
I didn't get a harumph out of that guy.
Lindsay Graham sounds like a character cut from The Godfather: Part 2 as being too implausible.

You want a boyfriend that looks at you the same way Thom Tillis sees Markwayne Mullin.
