Why is Lindsey safe just because he is gay?
Plenty of Monica/Bill bj references in the past, as well as Melanie and Rump and most of the female staff that works for him.

It’s not the brand of humor I would choose... I prefer something a little drier... but I’m not horribly offended to have this pinned on Lindsey. He certainly is a suck up lately.

even worries about that because he's been able to get away with it so long he thinks he's invulnerable. Little Adam Schiff could be his undoing.

If they both are on drugs , and about to be exposed for money taken from putin , sexual crimes and issues, and other crimes. Graham and others using pro putin talking points for trumps benefit will only make them look more guilty now. He must be getting pretty desperate now to do this, also like Cruz who is doing the same thing.

I have no doubt that Putin has something very compromising on Graham for him to do such an extreme turn around on Trump. Putin seems to have covered a lot territory when it comes to republican politicians. He truly is a master, a diabolical master - he could put spy novelists out of business. No fiction could compete with what we're experiencing.

Putin will seek out an adversary across the globe and destroy him or her. It would seem there is no way to escape his wrath and he seems to delight in having the whole world know what he has done.

being blackmailed into compliance, either by the Kremlin or some among our own right-wing plutocrats, or both. Being dirty is virtually literally a requirement to get big-money funding for a Republican seat these days.

I expect the same to be true for some journalists and people in business and law. Russia's been exporting corruption for decades, and our own plutocrats have been heavily embedding their own corrupting agents in all institutions for the past 40 years.

Besides institutionalized corruption here, and positions filled specifically with dishonorable, criminally-minded types, since the end of the Cold War many enterprising people tried to do business or have other associations in the ex- Soviet Union. We know that all of them would have been targeted there for compromise as well, only questions who were roped in.

While DNC data was dumped via wikileaks, we haven't seen RNC data. It would be irresponsible not to assume the Russians obtained information the RNC would prefer to remain secret. What would the gutless GOP do to keep their secrets?

This frustrated little weasel is being encouraged by something besides his undying devotion to the orange fuhrer. There is some blackmail somewhere, dealing with something. Just like the idiot is being compromised by the Russians, this dick head is being compromised by someone too. He has gone from "idiot from SC" to "angry, frustrated, furious, embarrassing clown from SC" for a reason....it isn't just that his sidekick is gone....it's something else.

It's certainly believable. All these Republicans that won't do anything to save this country from this traitor in the White House HAVE to compromised in some way. Maybe it's the fact that they took donations from Russians via the NRA or worse. Something's there.

It's weird, because most of the rest of the country wouldn't, unless minors were involved.

As it is, as a US Senator he has become so toxic to the country that both DH and I have begun to hope that whatever he is hiding gets laid bare.
