  1. how about we stop electing people who were born during a time when everything was made of wood

    1. @Dave – Jesus they released the letters that were sent in the press already. Yet we’re having this conversation.

  2. In sane countries these remarks would get miss Lindsey Graham transferred from the closet she’s been trying to hide in all her sorry life to a real prison; if she’s lucky, a female one.

  3. So suddenly rioting in the streets is how things get done…where was a Lindsay Graham throughout the summer of 2020?

    1. @Joe Conley America is still strong. We have become fat and lazy, but we are stirring from our sleep, and we are who we always have been. Justice is coming for those who deserve it, my friend. There is daylight ahead. United we stand, and united we shall prevail, My Brother. Namaste.

    2. @roger dildeau I know where hawley was. He was running through the building away from the people he waved at on his way in. Lol 😂😂😭

    1. Don the Con must have so much dirt on Lindsey Graham that can Blackmail him anytime and make him say anything…!!!!

    2. @warglo6170 … If you can’t see it…sorry. There’s no explaining in the world that will convince you.

    1. @Jeff Lovin fishin Jeffy, theTrump protest turned into a violent attack on the Capitol, and four people in the crowd died.

      Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as rioters tried to breach the House chamber.

      Kevin D. Greeson died of a heart attack, collapsing on the sidewalk west of the Capitol on Jan. 6.

      Rosanne Boyland appeared to have been crushed in a stampede of fellow rioters as they surged against the police.

      Benjamin Philips, the founder of a pro-Trump website called Trumparoo, died of a stroke.

      Mr. Greeson and Mr. Philips died of natural causes, the Washington medical examiner said in April. He added that Ms. Boyland’s death was caused by an accidental overdose.

      In the days and weeks after the riot, five police officers who had served at the Capitol on Jan. 6 died.

      Officer Brian D. Sicknick of the Capitol Police, who was attacked by the mob, died on Jan. 7.

      Officer Jeffrey Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department killed himself after the attack.

      Officer Howard S. Liebengood of the Capitol Police also died by suicide four days afterward.

      The Capitol Police had previously said that Officer Sicknick died from injuries sustained “while physically engaging with protesters.” The Washington medical examiner later ruled that he had died of natural causes: multiple strokes that occurred hours after Officer Sicknick’s confrontation with the mob. The medical examiner added, however, that “all that transpired played a role in his condition.”

    1. @James How? we do not have free speech.? I thought it was one of constitutional amendments as is the right to bear arms? What now I’m not allowed speak what I think. You have your views as so I have mine.

    2. @Leta St John You don’t have a clue about what you’re talking about. Student loans have created more millionaires than any other government racket. Non-profit loan servicers rake in billions, and give the Dept. of Ed. millions. They fired Fedloans, so, they cut out one middleman, and the money they save gives the debtors a $10,000 cut, which, in most cases, isn’t even the interest they’ve already paid.

  4. We need to call this what it is – domestic terrorism and Graham at least needs to be questioned as to who he’s talking to.

    1. If you or I went on national TV and said that, we’d be arrested for attempting to incite sedition.

  5. Every time I hear him talk I think of is “my pearls, my pearls!”
    Agree with that young lady he bloody well flopped from enough is enough to don’t pick on this thief.

  6. Why isn’t the FBI bringing Lindsey Graham in for questioning for his threatening behaviour, the man is a disgrace.

  7. I had a ts sci clearance in the af. If I had taken home any documents, they would have came and got me and no one would ever hear from me again. This guy needs to be charged, passport revoked, and put in jail.

    1. That’s not true. You would have gotten in trouble and potentially lose your clearance, but unless you’re attempting to sell documents, you wouldn’t go to jail.

    2. @StoneyRun Only if the current President allows it. Biden said NO Trump at any briefing on national security.

    3. @Crispin Fornoff Any documents to be classified, that have ANYTHING to do with nuclear, goes to the Dept. of Energy FIRST who review the docs, then they consult with DOD to make a determination. The President re- or de- classifies AFTER they make a decision. Not before. Congress passed that law back in the 1940’s.

  8. He definitely doesn’t belong in office. None of those demostrating bias should be in office and it’s the duty of those of us aware of such to see they’re removed.

    1. @Professor Foxtrot Yeah like when they went after MLK. Now that they are going after your guy seems wrong to do that.

    2. @GreatWhiteBuckwheat There’s no reason for federalized law enforcement to investigate it’s own citizens. State and local.

  9. Wouldn’t be the first riots in this country and certainly wouldn’t be the last.

    We’d get over it.

  10. loving that lindsey graham is finally establishing clearly in history the man he really is and always has been.. the damage to their family names by the trump enablers, distractors and coat tail users in history will, imo, be devestating
