And now, the latest chapter in the derp state's attempt to regain Saudi.

Senate defies Trump and votes to punish Saudis for Khashoggi slaying

(excerpt)

Defying President Trump, senators sent a strong signal Wednesday they want to punish Saudi Arabia for its role in the slaying of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Senate voted 63 to 37 to move forward with legislation calling for an end to U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

The vote was a rebuke not only to Saudi Arabia but to the Trump administration, which has been clear it does not want to torpedo the long-standing U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia over the killing.

And Sen. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who is often strongly allied with Trump, voted to move forward with the resolution and said he would insist on a briefing from Haspel. He even threatened to withhold his vote on key measures if that didn't happen and declared, “I'm not going to blow past this.”

Notice our boy Lindsey spearheaded the Republican derp vote. Do we really think Graham is on team Trump now?

And to think I actually quit calling him Linda!

Well, all the kudos we were giving him were a bit tongue-in-cheek in the first place. I think we all suspected he would revert to the mean. Apparently whoever owns him really really doesn’t like the new regime in Saudi Arabia. I blame it on the Turks.

What is wrong with Graham.

Someone needs to grab him by the collar and get in his face, really loud.

This puzzles me. I had hopes that my gay man crush Senator who white horsed Kavanaugh would stay the course, but either he is reverting to his duplicious McNoName former bad man self or he is playing a part required by Q, Trump to stay alive/outta jail.

Hoping the latter, but know if could be the former.

Puts the whole Nature vs Nurture argument in a Cabal tinted light.

Miss Linda learned her tricks from her “closest friend”, NoName. She is NEVER ever to be trusted.

Strong signal, bah! 63-37 is posturing. It takes 67 votes in the Senate to send a strong message.
