Velshi: The Shark and the Pilot Fish | MSNBC

The relationship between Senator Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump has evolved over the years from Graham being a vocal critic to becoming an ardent supporter. That all seemed to change the day Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and Graham said, “count me out. Enough is enough.” In the end, Graham didn’t vote to impeach Donald Trump, and now he can’t even envision a future for the Republican Party without the former president.» Subscribe to MSNBC:

  1. I say let the R’s flounder–they are below all of the productive criticism that has been gifted them over the last 5 years.

  2. Proof of Grahams’ complete and utter descent into delusion is that he thinks he can control tRump.

    1. He’s just confusing a puppet master with his hand up in the puppet, for his own head up trump’s @ss.

    2. 90% of the republicans think if they kowtow to trumpy he will lead them to glory.. .. Amusing actually!

  3. Forget politics, as you’ve come to see it, as a contest between Democrats and Republicans. Today the struggle is democracy versus oligarchy.

    1. Yes. I lived/live in Idaho/Montana, their legislatures are going overboard trying to restrict local authority over emergencies while giving broader powers to the legislature and governor. As with every post concerning such politics, I ask all Americans to pay attention to the efforts Republicans continue to make concerning our precious public lands–it just might be democracy versus kleptocracy.

  4. Trump wants all of the GOP’s future donations, so now it seems, that the shark is eating the GOP. Although they are greater in numbers, they are far too tiny and helpless, to make any difference.

    1. While you focus on the GOP (same as the right focus on the left instead of their own party), the democrats are setting us up for Trump 2.0. Biden is doing the bare minimum. This means turn out will drop on the left. The right WILL have turn out because they are great at scaring their voters. Focus on the people YOU put in power.

    2. quis·ling
      /ˈkwizliNG/

      noun
      plural noun: quislings
      a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force occupying their country.

    1. @Janie Buck no, they just want his voters and know he’ll turn them against any GOP who doesn’t do his bidding. Yep, he’s holding his followers as hostages for their votes the GOP’S want and their money he wants, and yet they still follow him. The fact there is so much stupidity and weakness in the good old U.S.A still astounds.

  5. There was an article a while back about how Russia had hacked Lindsey’s email, then he’s all buddies with the orange Mussolini, seems to me trump’s blackmailing miss Lindsey

    1. i think it started as only blackmail but now the thinly veiled threat of physical violence (by the cult) has been added into the mix.

  6. If you look at Lindsay’s eyes, he looks haunted. I think Trump has done a J.Edgar Hoover and got dirt on many people. Perhaps provided by Putin?

    1. We all know tRump still doesn’t have the cash to pay them all, no matter how cheaply or spinelessly they sell themselves. Dirt all over this group would not surprise anyone, no matter who provided it.

    1. Yes, it amazing to watch and listen to his antics. He actually deserves an award for being one of the least convincing politicians in the GOP. I don’t think his own weak brain even believes the crap he says.

  7. Imagine wanting a party ran by someone like trump to make it bigger by adding more people like the current trump supporters.
    Unbelievable. I can’t stand republicans .

    1. And as Graham said “more diverse.” We know that’s a straight up lie, unless he is referring to more “diverse” as in more “diverse” conspiracy theorist.

  8. This sounds like hero worship. Like a teenager trying to convince that the drop out bum she wants to date is really a good guy and really smart, and his teachers just didn’t like him…

    1. When she truly knows exactly who he is…knowing the truth, and saying otherwise equals “deep delusion”

    1. Darkness and magic……sounds like the servant of a demon preaching the greatness of said demon.

    2. … needs to be held accountable for his calls to Georgia and other election officials pursuing sedition and insurrection.
      In 2016, LG said that if DT is standard bearer for the GOP, it will be destroyed – and deserve to be. The anti-democratic, authoritarian FASCIST GOP definitely deserves to be destroyed.

  9. If folks don’t know that they cannot trust a word that comes out of Lindsey Graham’s mouth by now, they’re either stupid or they’re lying.
