Open Letter to Lindsey Graham

RE: Your latest hissy-fit statement: “I'm exposing your hatred of this president.”

This impeachment trial is not about hatred. It’s not about dislike or distaste; it’s not even about utter disgust. It’s about the Constitution and the rule of law. Perhaps if you spent as much time in the hearings as you do outside the room (as has just been reported), you’d know what was going on.

Yes, there are many of us – dare I say millions? – who hate Donald Trump. And as opposed to the hatred the GOP demonstrated daily towards Barack Obama, our hatred is based on the behaviour, statements, and actions of this “pResident” – all of which have rightfully prompted that emotion.

You can’t collude with our enemies, insult our allies, and lie to the citizenry on a daily basis, and not expect to be hated. You can’t disrespect our laws and defiantly abuse the powers of your office, and not accept that you’ll be hated for it – and justifiably so.

Oh – and you can’t lock innocent children in cages and expect anything less than hatred. A lot of people are really touchy about that sort of thing.

That being said, the Democrats are presenting the overwhelming evidence against your “pResident” based on facts and witness testimony, not on hatred – facts and testimony they were able to establish despite your “pResident’s” refusal to produce witnesses or documents. And as is now very clear, your side has yet to present anything remotely close to a defence of Trump’s obvious corruption – other than to say inane things like, “I'm exposing your hatred of this president,” as though that has any relevance to the issues at hand.

If you really want to expose hatred towards this “pResident”, you might want to talk to your fellow Republicans. We know that the majority of them despise Trump, which makes their willingness to lie for him, cover for him, and acquit him without a fair trial is all the more contemptible. Apparently, they don’t like what he’s doing to the party’s brand, but have absolutely no qualms about what he’s doing to the country – and will continue to do if not held to account.

But buckle-up, Linds, because it’s going to get a lot worse. As the evidence against Trump continues to come to light, the hatred towards him will grow as people begin to understand the depths of his crimes – and the corruption of the party that supported and enabled him.

If you think that “but everybody hates him” is a defence, please proceed with that legal argument. But the only reaction you’ll get is, ”Yeah. So what?”

But at this point, I guess that’s all you’ve got.

Eventually, the truth always outs – the truth about everything and everyone. I look forward to one day knowing why people like you were willing to abandon their once-touted principles in order to kiss the ass of a treasonous bastard.

I can’t help but wonder what it was that led you to sit in silence while your beloved “pResident” demeaned John McCain, the man who you once claimed as a best friend. I wonder what caused you to protect Donald Trump (aka Cadet Bonespurs) as he disparaged your best bud McCain as a fake hero because he 'got caught' and spent his wartime years being tortured in a POW camp.

I’m sure that’s a very interesting story – and make no mistake, it's a story that will eventually be told.

Yours Truly,
--- NanceGreggs

Go fuck yourself on a doorknob, you miserable excuse for a public servant. You have pissed on the Constitution you took an oath to protect, and shown total contempt for the people who trusted you and elected you to represent them in Congress.

Go fuck yourself.

I replied that a hissy fit is what Lindsey Graham has. A conniption has much more oomph.

How Lindsey Graham can face himself in the mirror every morning is simply incomprehensible to me.

Denial and self-delusion are VERY powerful things.

Lindsey is becoming more fat and slovenly each passing day.

Just like his orange hero!

They say that over time that pets look like their owners.

You made it Lindsey. I hope South Carolina is proud of your ass kissing, suck up deference to a traitor .

Unfortunately he will never see it...

He has made it clear that he has NO INTENTION of reading anything critical of fuhrer turdus.

I do eagerly await the day when the kompromat on him comes out.
