Looks like Linda diversified her portfolio away from arms for terrorists.

The last president who was a change enabler, or rather change enforcer like Trump is, was Reagan. GWB wasn’t a leader. He was a DISASTER. No Republican had the guts to say that aloud until Trump came along. His legacy is a gigantic mess in the Middle East, hundreds of thousands of lives lost, trillions of dollars in added debt, massive growth of government, the almost legalization of 12+ million illegal aliens, the almost appointment of a non conservative SC Justice..and the growth of a housing bubble that led to a crashing economy. Thats what eight years of a “compassionate conservative” got us. GWB was (is) the definition of the Swamp.

This is encouraging news being that Graham was so outspoken against this.

Figured about a week until he saw the wisdom, and came around.

Maybe Graham should talk to Trump next time before issuing a public condemnation.

Trump should get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, but they’ll give it to AOC instead.

Lindsey didn’t even vote for Trump in Nov 2016. He voted for Evan McMullin. Google (or Bing) it. You’ll see that he was quite open about not supporting Trump against Hillary

I saw a video of President Trump making remarks, none too kindly, about linda right after the President announced the Syria pullout. Sure wish I had the URL to it.

Lindsey
Graham

Want on or off Linda's fav ping list? Just FReepmail me.

Remember that linda is up for reelection in 2020.
Remember also that linda is writing a Red Flag bill.

Lindsey is bi polar..or he sees that President Trump’s plan is WORKING..if the Kurds and Turkey want to fight each other, let them fight each other..its NOT our problem..they have been fighting forever..if the Kurds are so powerful they were able to get rid of ISIS they have enough power to fight Turkey time for our troops to come home

Oh, I wish it were that easy. As a resident of South Carolina, here's the linda scoop:

We have lots of good, strong Conservatives in South Carolina that would be light years better than linda in the Senate.

South Carolina having open primaries is the problem. During the primaries, several people, some much better than linda, will run opposing linda. But on primary voting day the RATS cross over in droves and vote for linda. linda wins the primary and, since SC is a strong red state, goes on the win the election.

The SC legislature is beginning to grow some balls and is making noise about going to closed primaries.

Can't happen soon enough for me and lots of other Republican voters. But until the law is changed, linda has a job for life and she knows it.

Here's the details:

Thinking-speculating— between the lines and the many flip flops especially as relates to the Middle East-— that Lindsey Linda has one thing that motivates his actions. Lindsey went off the rails in a confirmation hearing for a Special Envoy to Iraq— asking and answering his own questions. Fairly evident he was in deep fear— the video is on CSpan. The envoy candidate correctly identified the people Lindsey should have been questioning instead of the envoy. Fair weather “friend” to trump— is all over the map. And it will change by monday.

IMHO- the thing that motivates Lindsey in Middle East and other foreign policy is whatever McCain (the benghazi gunrunner, along with obama, hitlery @secState, and Brennan et al) had on him. McCain who created ISIS in the first place out of McCain’s meeting with known al Qaeda in Iraq, is still used as leverage by the others in the game.

The photos of McCain with the same murderous thugs, as those later photo’d with Evan McMullin— Bill Kristol’s and Romney’s supported Presidential “candidate” (the “operations officer” in the photo with ISIS).

Just a string of thoughts on the subject. Lindsey’s questioning of the new appointee as Special Envoy to Iraq— last Thursday— is worth a separate post.

I think Graham actually noticed that Trump’s plan got almost immediate results. Glad he admitted that he had been wrong.

Are our politicians this insane!? This Syria BS is maddening. Syria is an Obama era foreign policy quagmire. I see no side or front that is worth American blood. WTF is the U.N. and how come the Mideast always needs to be babysat?

Trump reminded linda that a primary challenge would result in the President backing the upstart and in South Carolina, a dead dawg, backed by Trump, could unseat linda.

She saw the value of withdrawing our troops from Syria to Iraq.

Secondly, since mcpain died, she's not getting enuff.

I wonder how many calls Grahams office got over the last few days.

Trump may have threatened the full democrap treatment too.
Trump’s very serious about ending this policing the world practice.

Whatever, Grahams reputation is still of being McCains little globalist toady and, that will never go away.

Nobody trusts him.

Not even when he tows the right line.
