I wonder if we’re ever going to learn who is blackmailing Lindsey Graham...

Senator Graham....WWJM say?

He is a hypocrite. He tried to call Obama out on everything. He is afraid, plain and simple, he is afraid

Lindsay Graham should resign from the Senate.

Russian money works wonders on republicans.

This guy needs to go!

LindseyGrahamSC and senatemajldr are idiots and cowards. If this was Obama or any other Democrat, they would be fuming to get him or her out of office. Remember when McConnell said he would make Obama a one term president

LindseyGrahamSC Lindsey has made has walk to the dark side complete...no hope of redemption, it seems.

Against public opinion, against common sense, against the wishes of a bill he voted on ... and Trump signed into law. Wonder how he'll do when he runs for re-election? TomSteyer michaelbloombe6

He doesn’t have to do this alone Lindsey. He is choosing to go a route not consistent with polling or other elected members of our government. So what you are advocating operating outside of the constitution for a vanity project

No backbone Lindsey! Scared of trump! Why?Russia collusion 👀👀👀

Boooo

When history is written about this darker period of time in our democracy, what side will you be on LindseySen ?

'I support his decision to go it alone' - is that what Graham is saying? It sounds almost like he's saying he doesn't really support him, or an I hoping for too much?

'I support his decision to go it alone' - is that what Graham is saying?

Show him one hand him a crowbar so he can pry his lips away from Donald Trump's a**.

lindseyfraud

It appears Lindsay Graham lost his conscience when John McCain died.

That’s a gutless statement because Graham knows full well the declaration and implementation will be tied up in court for months if not years. Spineless, a fake maneuver to win trumps favour. But meaningless in the grand scheme of things

Wow! Senator McCain really held Graham down! Now that he's gone beau has lost his mind

A coward

He doesn’t support realDonaldTrump What he wants is Trump’s base and it’s votes. LindseyGrahamSC , like many in the GOP have completely become spineless and weak and have sold their souls to the devil. They are so pathetic.

I almost feel pity for LindseyGrahamSC. He lost his best friend and moral rudder, then he chose to dive right in to the Trump idiocy. His choices will destroy what may well be a fragile self-image and not so firm grip on reality.

The Russians must have something on him too.

LindseyGrahamSC can you say suckass? You said you would stand up to this president and I’ve seen none of that. McCainlegacy

LindseyGrahamSC You used to be a halfway decent man. You threw that all away when Senator McCain passed away. Sad to see someone sell their soul so quickly. What happens when trump realizes he needs $50 billion for the wall?

No surprise here!

NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE, NEVER AGAIN... THIS REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Donald said 'I didn't have to do this' and Lindsey says 'He has to do this on his own.' ok...🤔

Can’t wait to hear the Senator call “over reach” when a Democrat president calls a national emergency on climate change.

WhathasTrumpgotonyouLindsey

Who paid you to say these things. You have changed. Embarrassing

Support the construction of the wall and support all measures taken by the President to protect the safety of citizens. Because illegal immigration is already a public hazard in American social security.

“I’m with stupid”

With all due respect 🤮

How does a holster like LindseyGrahamSC talk with his mouth full? Careful, he might get the vapors if we criticize his beau too much.

Lindsey has his panties in a twist again. TrumpDerangementSyndrome TrumpFakeEmergency

LindseyGrahamSC I am confused as I thought you represented the people of SC? Not theTrumpCrimeFamily why didn’t you fund the wall the last two years? TrumpCult TrumpFakeEmergency

Reek, his name is Reek.

Lolol. More like: “Unfortunately I’ve gotten used to having my palms flat on the table when Trump is in the room.”

Don’t you get the feeling he was always picked last for dodgeball teams and he is acting out on all those childhood humiliations?

Make you mind you tend to change with the political winds What. Happen to Itegrity

Oh Lindsey, thou nose art the brownest.

As long as he uses his own money sure.👹👺🤡

It's time to retire!!! You have out lived your usefulness in serving the American people!!!

Lindsey needs to go

You have taken a wrong turn.

So the people of his state side with tRump? That is just astonishing that an entire state of repubs would side with the man who's told over 9,000 lies. He poses when he's beginning to make up a new lie. It's mentally unstable behavior. So is it SC or NC? Pathetic.

Thank god we have a system of checks and balances

Congresswoman Omar is right. The Kremlin has obviously gotten to Lindsay. PutinsPuppet

As a Republican, I was an admirer of Senator Graham in the past. Now that he’s a Trump toady, that respect has diminished.

Russia’s got something on Lindsey!

.LindseyGrahamSC you've hitched your wagon to the wrong mule. nevernormalizetrump PutinsPuppet GOPcowards impeach45 resist voteoutgraham

Trump was backed into a corner. There was no other choice. If the children would play nice in the sandbox, there may have been another choice

Lindsay is in early stage dementia.

So disappointed in you LindseyGrahamSC - I thought you had backbone. Americans count on solid leaders to stand up to tyrants - time to be our hero instead of enabler.

I'm betting you took a different stance when Obama was president! So anxious to give president special power. Next Democrat President will use it too and you made it happen. Why do you give any president such power, when you know it will be a precedent that you snow like then.

No Lindsey Graham, TRUMP does not go it alone. He is putting AM lives in jeopardy in the military and on MAIN ST. He makes an irresponsible decision, and like a wkforce response to CEO, our men and women take on the tasks. They are being abused.

E Tu, pee-pee? Amy_Siskind Trevornoah LindseyGrahamSC realDonaldTrump maga

Somebody forgot why they became a Senator smh

What a weasel

How much money is Lindsay getting from the Russians.

LadyGraham

Demented...see your Dr. aspa

O poor Lindsay

Lindsey lost his mind when McCain died. Making trump his new hero is disgusting on so many levels.

Trump’s ideas are formed by Stephen Miller, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and his friends at Mar a Lago who all have an agenda but not anyway to run the United States of America

Screw it let the republicans have the national emergency because sooner or later the democratic president is going to do the same thing so I say democrats just make a look like you’re fighting it Club warming and gun control will now be on the table for a national emergency

they’re desperately hiding something. unfortunately for them, someday we will get to know what it is.

Defend the constitution of America ,not a crook

What does Lardassovich have on you Sen.LindseyGrahamSC ? Was there a camera hidden in your closet?

Graham supports Trump going around the Congressional Appropriations process!?! Graham is quickly becoming a lap dog for Trump. To think, I used to respect Graham but he was a lot smarter and more of a defender of the US Constitution when Sen. McCain was in the Senate

remember when trump called graham an idiot and gave out his cell phone number to the public?

Spineless

Please quit covering Lindsay Graham until he says something that hasn't been written for him by one of Trump's interns at the White House.

What a disgrace!

Of course U do Mr. Evil👊💥

I swear I read just last week that he said he wouldn't support Trump

I wonder how Lindsay will feel when the next president declares gun violence and climate change national emergencies.

I call on every citizen with a republican Senator to mail that Senator a white feather, representing cowardice. SouthCarolina, you go first. Your senator is the biggest coward of all. Yes, I'm looking at you, LindseyGrahamSC

Another reflexive affirmation of Trump from Graham. Is it opportunism or blackmail?

LindseyGrahamSC Ending your career as a joKe. Was that the plan all along?

You are a national disgrace. this is not what democracy looks like. I hope that you and any other senators that will not overturn this idiocy are thrown out of Congress next election.

'He's got to do it on his own ...' W.T.F?! That's not how this works. This is NOT a NationalEmergency This is madness.

We all know you really don't

What does trump have on him?

No, he doesn’t have to do it, he said it himself on live tv.

Amazing how fast Graham changes his stripes. Party over country Graham!

Graham's Trumps new 'Lap Dog'

little Russian doll Lindsey

Bad decision

lindseygrahmresign

Here I’ll fix it...What Miss Lyndsey meant to say was, “They told me to say I support the Trump emergency declaration.”

Is this supposed to be news?

From respected Senator and lawyer to whore - in 700 days. Not a long or far trip, it seems.

Of course he does. Not because it’s constitutional or justified in any other way, but because Putin’s toadies showed him a video of himself down on his withered knees in front of another man.

Another neanderthal who chooses to go down with the ship. If there is any justice, he will be reduced to a merely badly faded memory from the past.

So sad how far this guy has fallen!

Don’t get to enthused Lindsey😂

That’s not how this works, that’s not how any of this works

you are on an island to graham, your day is coming

Once upon time, the GOP cared about the Constitution. These days, all they care about is Spanky's fragile ego.

I would Hardly call someone with MILLIONS of American's standing with him ALONE..

Deplorable says it all.

realDonaldTrump has a phone and he has a pen ! I recall our leader BarackObama saying if “gun legislation saves one life its worth it “... if the wall stops one pedophile , drug dealer , human trafficker or murderer does it not do the same ? buildthewall RealJamesWoods

How does it feel being just a Trump flunky?

LindseyGrahamSC remember what your friend said...😕

What a pitiful shadow of a senator Graham has become.

Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell support the argument for term limits every day

LindseyGrahamSC brown nosing yet again. Remember the old days when he respected decency and the constitution

He has zero spine or integrity. He’s the puppy trump will never have.

John McCain would be so disappointed/needs to visit Lindsey to tell him to find his soul/set him straight; Lindsey is drinking too much Kool-Aid and has become a major toadie/full of hot air with no substance, just like 45, evil entity.

Lol.

Graham has abdicated his oath...

Huh, he doesn’t agree but supports him... that’s not Graham’s job in an equal branch of government

Sen Graham just one administration ago.

Yet Obstructed Obama Every step of the way, Swampman party hack. Just a disappointment to independents.

Just a reminder that Bob Mueller is truly an American hero. He bled on the battlefield for this country, and he's dedicated his life to protecting what this country stands for.

So he supports this because it’s a GOP or he supports it for any one doing it?

Trump obviously has something on him

McCain is turning over in his grave on this betrayal. Graham is truly one big a-hole!

Of coarse he does. He would support trump if that imbecile wanted to give Alaska back to Russia. LockThemAllUp TreasonousGop

Sellout. Opportunist. Disgrace to the uniform. LindseyGrahamSC

Don’t distance yourself. You are as guilty as your president. You could stop this but you are complicit. I hope you get what you deserve.

During the proctologist’s exam of Trump last week, only abnormality was finding Lindsay Graham in there.

Graham makes he sick because he is such a hypocrite.

Graham is the epitome of a weak senator complacently submitting to Trump’s demands. When McCain died, Graham lost his backbone. One would wonder what power Trump holds over Graham.

Agree, there is no alternative

As trump said, “I didn’t have to do this.”

lemming

Saddens me he has sunk that low

I thank the Good Lord this shameless toady already has a fine opponent awaiting for 2020. Enough. Sorry you crapped out your legacy, LindseyGraham.

HYPOCRITE

BS.

SenJohnMcCain would be proud. 🤦‍♂️

You are going down with your King

To set precedent in order to feed his ego is a big, BIG mistake. realDonaldTrump is hated by most and only concerned about winning the next election. He will spin us so tightly in a web of hell and then take his money and run. Someone save us. Get this man out of office!

He's just another Putin puppet.

The FBI need to check his bank accounts, emails for Trump, Russian pay-offs. Someone has gotten Graham by the balls.

does he fetch his slippers as well

When BarackObama acted extra constitutionally in their view regarding immigration republicans like GrahamBlog we’re up in arms. But when realDonaldTrump does it, it’s because he’s got no choice. Is that how it works? Hypocrisy

What would John McCain say, Lindsey? I'm afraid he is rolling over in his grave. Shame on you.

Unfortunately? ‘He has to do it on his own’? Sounds like masturbation to me. Please: it’s not ‘unfortunate’ - unless you think Trump has merit; & it’s also not ‘doing it on his own!’ His stable is full of (Russian &) US sucker-fish. SpeakerPelosi SenatorDurbin CNN nytimes

It is so true..there’s no fool like and old fool! Cue the music to “Looney Tunes!”

So I guess oaths of office are just a formality

Lindsey, really, what has Trump got on you? We'll forgive you if you'll just come out and tell us. We know he's a bully and extortionist. If he's threatening your family, we all need to know.

“Unfortunately, he's got to do it on his own.” WTF does that mean? I’ll tell you what it means. It means Graham and the rest of his sycophantic pals find the Constitutional separation of powers downright disposable. Anything for Trump.

Certainly Lindsay Graham will support anything Trump does but my Senator Red Tide Rick Scott is just as bad and would do anything to impress Trumpy his Cult leader. Scott just drools endlessly about how great Trumpy is

Seriously, there need to be term limits on these fuckers. Senators get 3 terms, and that’s being generous

And when 45 falls, Graham will tumble with him also!

Sen. Graham no guts no glory. Go for it.

McCain would be so ashamed.

Compromised Drag Queen LindseyGrahamSC so sad for the United States!

When did Lindsey sell his soul to the Donald I just don't get it

Someone’s got something on Lindsey that he doesn’t want public...

Just so depressing to see Graham knuckle under and kiss Trump's ass.

Unfortunately, this is a kiss ass Senator!

....ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS $$$$ WENT TO MITCH MCCONNELL AND LINDSEY GRAHAM...FROM THE RUSSIANS OLIGARCH !!!!.... .... UNDERSTANDABLE..WHY BOTH OF THEM.. MCCONNELL AND GRAHAM ARE SO..WILLING TO ACCEPT ANYTHING THAT 'CORRUPT' TRUMP..IS DOING... ...GOP...'ME' FIRST.. COUNTRY LAST!

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. Amirite Linds?

LindseyGrahamSC As usual, Graham wants to have it both ways. He wants to people believe that he is for Trump but if things go bad he can say he wasn't really for it. What a stand-up guy, he is...He stands for nothing.

He has a belief that of sand in the wind. The mirror watcher with shades downs.giggles

Do it on his own. Never mind that Putin & MbS own T-RUmp. Never mind that the majority of US voters didn't want T-RUmp as POTUS or his 'Wall' in the 1st place. Never mind that T-RUmp's illegal immigrant invasion got its ass kicked in the mid-terms.

The good news for Graham is that he never has to ever speak again. We get it. He backs Trump 100%.

LindseyGrahamSC is bought and paid for by Russia, just like Trump

‘Support’?

LindsayGrahamSC - you are a non factor, a yes man only, and your life long hateful choices will determine your fate.

You mean the Senate didn't do it's job Senator Graham? Resign!!

There was a time when people who acted like Graham were anomaly's and were relegated to the far fringes of politics where we hardly ever heard from them. Now they pretty much are on TV everyday and given the widest possible stage.

Not much you wouldn't support from Trump and his administration given what they have on you.

When did LindseyGrahamSC have his spine removed? Was it the early 2000's? Probably got his balls removed around the same time.

All that’s left is to vote Graham out ASAP. He’s lost. RememberIn2020

I do hope voters from SC remove this tRump boot licker from office. ASAP.

Being destroyed. And deserving it.

So basically, Lindsay Graham, is abdicating his power to Trump. John McCain would be so proud.

Considdering how much he damned Trump in the past, it's saddening to see him flip-flopping on his stance.

It’s gotta be gerbiling

It’s patently obvious now that LindseyGrahamSC is compromised by either Trump or Putin. Just got back to 2016 and see how vehemently opposed to Trump he was and then look at his cravenly actions now. As Trump would say: sad!

He digging his own grave SouthCarolina ask Linda Graham to come out of closet. 50 plus old no women in his life and the Russian have photos of him and lover .......

Remember when Graham said that Trump was unfit to be POTUS? Apparently NOW,Lindsey is unfit to be a Senator,having given his brain & spine over to adoration of Trump! Do these people understand, that there WILL be a time post-Trump, when WE will remember their actions here!

Does he even know what day it is?

It's amazing how eloquent Senator Graham can talk with Trump's balls in his mouth.

This is what a total follower looks and acts like. He and the entire republican party are nothing but shills for trump and his crooked administration. Lindsey has to be trump's lackey otherwise trump will give his cell out again.

'Conservative'

On his own my ass. You are complicit Mr. Graham. This whole 'Emergency' is on the entire GOP.

Lindsay’s chain jerkers are awfully busy these days. Does he never wonder how he will be remembered in history when the real stories are revealed? As a traitor or just as a coward?

South Carolina vote this bastard out. He is robbing children an education. He has lost him moral compass.

Just sad. Fortunately this is Lindsey Graham’s last term because he is so over in South Carolina. compromisedloser

Of course! if it works for you why not? Who cares about the US right? LindseyGrahamSC just what a few years till we have climate emergency, gun control emergency, housing emergency, education emergency...you name it. I hope you know that no one respects you any more.

Is that code for the Senate will vote to rebuke the order?

Lapdog Lindsay is and always will be “a follower”, never a leader. And never will be. What a loser...

Lindsey = pathetic !

What do the HAVE ON YOU, LINZ? Must be something more than re-election.

The only Republicans you can somewhat trust are the ones who have gone on the record saying this declaring of a national emergency sets a bad precedent. The others you have to assume are compromised in some way.

Well I do declare!

You stand for NOTHING ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As tomfriedman said: 'We have a president without shame, who is backed by a party without spine and is supported by a network called FOX without integrity.'

Sure he does. They're terrified of Putin. Few understand the implications of crossing him. This could be far worse than a constitutional crisis.

Graham has started to look and act like he wants America to become a dictator state

Want to know where over half of our political and economic problems come from today? Just analyze the record of this POS LindseyGrahamSC. Never a war abroad he wouldn’t vote for or a redistributionist program he wouldn’t vote for, so long as the $ funneled up to his donors.

Smarmy wuss.

Lindsey's behind the curtain story will be a bombshell and we might not know it years after Trump leaves office.

Closet Cases are just the worst

Lindsay, what have the Russians got on you?

What would john McCain do ?

I hope you lose your seat in 2020 trump lover!

How do you spell compromised? G-R-A-H-A-M

Compromised. Gee., I wonder what they have on him.

Seriously , did Trump make out with Graham to further his Presidency? He’s fanning a little too hard.

Graham in no rush to protect MuellerLindsey Graham has long pushed for legislation to shield special counsel Robert Mueller from President Donald Trump. But now that he’s got the power to do something about it, he’s holding off. He's waiting for Barr to flame out so he can pressurize Trump to make him AG. The only plausible explanation is he has something to hide. This will be my thought unless proven otherwise. Why do you want to protect Mueller who already has the ultimate power to run wild and large witch-hunting anyone anyway without limits?
