Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Is Lindsey Graham supporting Trump because the Russians hacked his emails and now Putin & Trump are blackmailing him into this support? MSNBC's #Resistance stars ponder the questionhttps://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/authoritarianism-expert-russia-hacked-lindsey-grahams-personal-emails-so-trump-may-be-blackmailing-him/ …

      Yeah couldn’t be Trumps lockstep support for Israel and escalation with Iran—Graham’s only two reasons for living that did it. Must be KOMPROMAT

      @emptywheel raised the same questions about Dershowitz. Did you guys mock her too?https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/927002145299337216 …

      Anyone wonder what kind of videos there are on Dersh? I mean, there must be, right?

      Well with Dersh I think Epstein more likely. But I also don't rule out threats to out Lindsey as one means of keeping him in line. The closet still is very very powerful especially for older people.

      It’s a shame, because to my mind Lindsey WAS the strongest protector of the Mueller investigation among elected republicans. Albeit shitty on just about everything else.

      I still think it’s quite possible that Graham recognizes that Trump is uniquely susceptible to flattering and is doing so to gain access/influence.

      Trump has also been doing things that Graham has long favored: hostility toward Tehran, serving Israel, confronting Putin in Ukraine, cutting corporate taxes. It really shouldn't take Tom Clancy speculation to puzzle out the praise.

      Trump has been confronting Putin in Ukraine? Or his Admin. Those are different things. He has also been sowing ugly Islamophobia, something Lindsey has always rightly opposed.

      We're defending Lindsey now? We all saw his sh*t-eating grin for the tax cuts & now that Trump's being better spoon-fed the neo-con religion overseas their golf game bonhomie is heating up. & since when is he a *serious* guiding light on Islamophobia issues? Sincere query, Marcy.

      Leading light? No. But consisten in the problems with it fr NatSec standpoint. I'm _not_ defending Lindsey. Just saying that we'd be stupid to ignore how Trump manipulates people.

          I'm not quite sure who's manipulating who here, but suspect that people in favor of permanent war in Afghanistan, Iraq & likely Iran aren't going to be of much help providing tutelage on best practices re Islamophobia as they cheer-lead perma-occupation of varied Muslim lands.

          Anyway, apologies for wading in here late. I just detest the dangerous vacuity of Lindsey. Harkens back to the 'serious people' blogosphere meme of mid '00s. Cheers

          “Ignore” =/= wildly speculating the affirmative on national TV. Presumably idle tweets and commentary on cable news should have different editorial standards.
