Source: Current Lindsey / LadyG scandal is ONLY 10% of the full story




Reminder: I posted this video all the back in FEBRUARY and it had over 1 million+ views.

The story making the rounds now is ONLY 10% of the story.

It's a helluva lot worse than that.

And like I said in February the truth is coming.


Winslow also posted about this back in October 2019:




Have you wondered why @LindseyGrahamSC has been defending @realDonaldTrump like his life depended on it? A friend in federal law enforcement told me about a certain threat @realDonaldTrump has made to Graham. It's personal. It's awful. And it's working very well.

I'm not sure what good my going to their site to watch one video does for their bottom line - I won't create a Twitter account or stay on the page. I suppose I'm in the minority but it does just strengthen my avoidance to Twitter.

It doesn't seem consistent, though. Some videos play, some don't. Thing is, I have to REALLY want to see the video for me to open it in Twitter. I'm just as likely to react "whatever" and not watch the video.

I suspected that it may have been a DU issue somehow, because I can open Tweet video outside, but I really didn't have time to pin it down. It is very frustrating, almost as frustrating as having an OP refer to a Tweet, only to look and see nothing at all.

Right-wing politicians who support the anti-gay agenda of the Republican Party need to be outed. So do it. If there is clear incontrovertible evidence that he is gay put it out there. Let Republicans decide if they want a gay man to be a banner carrier for their ant-gay agenda.
But the "more evidence to come" salacious speculation does nothing but help to enforce the idea that there is actually something wrong with being gay.
Put up or shut up.
Twitter is vile.

20. I think GOP has recruited flawed candidates forever
Sat Jun 6, 2020, 03:06 PM
Jun 2020

I think every Republican has some skeletons. I think that's why someone recruited them to run initially. When they were recruited they thought it was because they spoke well or looked good or had a good business background. Then one day their arm was twisted behind their back on an important issue and they were told they would vote as expected on issue cuz of skeleton abc. They are then periodically reminded of skeleton abc or MORE to keep them in line. This is why the GOP as a party won't be in favor of LGBTQ, marijuana reform, etc. Because they use it as blackmail to keep members in line.

He's a crime and mystery fiction writer.

It would be nice if this were real and not just hype for an upcoming novel or screenplay.

In either case, I don't like it when somebody tries to revv me up about something. If he has the goods, he should prove it. If not, he's not worth our time.

Sat Jun 6, 2020, 05:09 PM
Jun 2020

Republicans have come to the conclusion their re-election chances are nearing zero as long as Trump heads up the ticket. Yesterday Lindsey Graham was tasked with telling Trump it is time to resign and presented him with his options for an exit strategy. Trump responded by surrounding himself with soldiers, retreating to his bunker again, and leaking rumors about Lindsey Graham because Trump always shoots the messenger.

This type of loud whisper campaign is the sort of thing Trump excels at executing.

If Trump has just fired a warning shot at the Republicans through Lindsey Graham, I expect them to hit him back ten times harder. And then he will respond to them in kind. And we will witness mutually assured self destruction.

Just a theory......
