Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., vowed Monday he would do everything within his power to "undo" the bipartisan debt ceiling bill and the "disaster" he said it would be for America's defense.
"I will use all powers available to me in the Senate to have amendment votes to undo this catastrophe for defense," Graham wrote on Twitter. "I support raising the debt limit for 90 days to give us a chance to correct this disaster for defense."
"Have total disgust for political leaders’ decision to make it remotely possible to gut our national security apparatus at a time of great peril. Take this absurd idea off the table," he added.

....... We could probably save close to a trillion dollars by just cutting out all of the freebies and entitlements that we give to unnecessary programs and illegals .....

I suspect this is one of those times where they don’t require a very high percentage of GOP Votes in the Senate.
IOW, he Votes No, and knows it passes. I can vote No all day - and the money spigot is on high the entire time.
They take turns bowing out when their Legislation is going to pass (the Senate) regardless.

What “defense”, Linda? We let a balloon from China cross this country and didn’t do a damned thing until enough people complained about it.

So, taxpayers are laundering enough money to Ukraine to suit our political class and oligarchs?

Indeed, instead of 87,000 new IRS agents, our team should be pushing for 20,000 new immigration judges to clear the 13 year assylum backlog, and 60,0000 additional border patrol agents to prevent the fake assylum seakers from crossing the border in the first place.

Has friend Trump said anything? He’s caught in the middle between backstabbing friend McCarthy and Gragham.

Straight from the Lindsey Graham handbook:
1). Don’t hurt Biden
If you notice old Lindsey, is indicating let’s protect Joe, and do a 90 day extension, while we add lots more Spending.
That’s quite a different thing than standing on principle and letting the impact hit the Politicians that caused it.
Lindsey hangs out on Manchin’s Yacht. I’m sure he was involved with the Republican Deal to save Manchin’s WV Seat, for Manchin, too.

He’s a snake....which explains why he was good friends with another snake, McCain. In a perfect world, snakes get “dealt with” appropriately. I do so long for a perfect world.
