(3,064 posts)Although either The Cartel or The Border would be a more apt title, in my opinion anyway.
The books are chronologically:
The Power of the Dog, 2005
The Cartel, 2015
The Border, 2019
It's an account of the drug wars that have been ravaging Mexico for over 40 years now. I found it riveting.
I read that FX is planning a weekly series based on these books. My fantasy was a limited HBO series but I'll take this.
Winslow also wrote Savages, which Oliver Stone made into a movie. I preferred the book.

(3,064 posts)The Gentlemen's Hour, was obviously not meant to be the last we saw of him.
Both were written subsequently to The Power of the Dog.
He got back to Art Keller ten years later with The Cartel. And it being such a compelling story to tell he put himself into it. Wonderful trilogy. I highly recommended it.
But I do hope he gets back to Boone and his pals in San Diego.

I love it - it would be wonderful to see some major play time for it on ads.
GAWD, I SO hope Dear Lindsey and McTurtle get what's due them, of course, along with Barr and IQ45 and family!

It could be gambling maybe. John McCain was rich, maybe he covered Lindsey's debts and is not around anymore. I know one thing, as soon as McCain passed, Lindsey became a totally different person and a total trumphumper.

It probably went down like "Be loyal to me or your secrets will be revealed. Capiche?"
"Yes Don Don"
Sorry for the Cannonball Run II reference thrown in there

(1,584 posts)Its not cool. We are Democrats and we are not going to judge you Lindsey. Thats just how we roll. All inclusive and shit. You just have to drop the hypocrisy, spill the tea on the angry orange and maybe take comfort that our current front runner for President is a fine veteran man who is happily out and married to his husband.
If its some Gymsock Jordan or other non consensual creepy stuff, then FU dicknose. Roast in peace.

(16,939 posts)He's a crooked politician who has sold out his country for something and he is helping to destroy America.
There!
He's guilty!
matt819
(10,749 posts)As hard as that is to believe.
And, you're right. DUers wouldn't care. Most people on the left wouldn't care. His constituents may not be surprised, but they might care. And even though this is 2020, it may very well matter to a 64-year-old "confirmed bachelor" from South Carolina. But enough for this sort of turnaround? I don't think so. Pure speculation, but there has to be something more.

Jimvanhise
(304 posts)His secret is not so secret, but if he is outed he believes that he won't get re-elected as his base isn't very Gay friendly. That Trump would blackmail him with this is the real crime. Notice that whenever he criticizes Trump about something (like betraying the Kurds) he quickly gets back in line and ends his complaints.
Scotch-Irish
(464 posts)He does get back in line when tRump jerks his chain, but many a republican have mentioned that Graham is "light in the loafers", as the Southern saying goes.

smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)That way, he will be completely screwed no matter what he does and he will be as good as gone. And then we need to do that with every other republican that Trump is holding hostage. We need an investigative slimy weasel team to dig up ALL the dirt so we can counter-blackmail all the republicans and destroy their careers. It can't be that hard.

Generic Brad
(14,276 posts)Letting Lindsey know this may be coming gives him time to counteract and plan. What is really needed is a shocking, irrefutable story that drops out of the sky with the force of an anvil to the head. This teaser crap annoys me and makes me suspect Winslow has very little of impact to reveal.
Faux pas

unitedwethrive
(1,997 posts)why so many repubs have been kissing the orange behind. Think about it, if they just banded together and he was removed from office, they would be rid of him in a position of power, but that's apparently not good enough to eliminate the threat.
tavernier
(12,406 posts)Look up the original tweet with the responses. Most interesting.
I do agree with some of the posters that Lindsey might do something destructive to himself if the kompramat is extremely felonious.

(4,908 posts)...I cannot imagine anything really surprising. If he's gay - meh, so what. Financial corruption - meh, par for the course.
But I eagerly anticipate the big reveal.
