Senator Vows to Blockade Trump Agenda [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 20 Nov 2016 | John Semmens

Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) vowed he would block Trump's efforts to clamp down on illegal immigration and make peace with Russia. "He may think that because there is a GOP majority that he can get his way over here," Graham warned. "But it will only take a few of us to join with the Democrats to thwart his plans."

Graham found Trump's idea that the United States and Russia could make common cause to fight ISIS "frightening. Russia has been this country's adversary for longer than I've been alive. They have nuclear weapons. They're dangerous. ISIS is a 'johnny-come-lately' phenomenon. They have no nuclear weapons. They are far less dangerous. President Obama's strategy of aiding ISIS as a counterbalance to Russia strikes me as the wiser policy option. I will do everything I can to try to sustain this course of action."

"From my perspective, President Obama has done a damn good job," Graham insisted. "I'm not going to stand by and allow all the good work he's accomplished be undone. The advances made toward recognizing the inherent gender fluidity of life are, by themselves, the most important achievement in our nation's history. We will never be able to thank him enough for this signature success."

Meanwhile, the New York Times—a leading purveyor of fake news—desperately begged readers to stop canceling their subscriptions and promised to cease fabricating the news in the future. Odds-makers are doubtful this strategy will work. "Only a fool would bet on a liar to tell the truth if given a second chance," said one anonymous source.

Satire? There is more truth here than in an NYT front section.

Thanks, John, for another fine column.

I know you wrote it as satire, but it is probably closer to the truth than what McCain and Graham admit publicly.

Did McCain show off by drinking a glass of water while Little Linda "spoke"?

Mr. Peepers vows to block John Riggins. This should be interesting.

Graham is up for reelection in 2018. They should be looking for a good primary challenger now. Maybe Gowdy?

Hmmmm ..?? Sounds like 10th grade stuff to me .. IF I CAN WIN .. THEY YOU AREN’T GOING TO WIN EITHER .. SO THERE !!

What a petty swamp dweller .. and McCain with him. Those two need to get over themselves.

I suspect the public is about to go ballistic at Graham’s self-serving attitude, and he and McCain are not going to know what hit them.

Sorry .. correct that first sentence to read:

IF I CAN’T WIN THEN YOU AREN’T GOING TO WIN EITHER .. SO THERE !!

Graham and McCain need to move along and stop being a pain in the side of the Republicans.
