I don't know from where I copied the following.
In December 2015, Graham looked into a camera and called Donald Trump a "race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot." By February 2016: "I think he's a kook. I think he's crazy." That May he wrote: "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it." He refused to vote for him.Then Trump won, and Lindsey Graham discovered golf.By late 2017 he was scolding the media for calling the president, yes, really, a kook.....In November 2020, Georgia's Republican secretary of state said Graham had called him asking about tossing legally cast mail ballots. Graham denied it, fought the grand jury subpoena all the way to the Supreme Court, and lost.On January 6th, with the glass still on the Capitol floor, he announced: "Count me out. Enough is enough." He was back at Mar-a-Lago within months.He cheered the country into Iraq. Three weeks ago he was on television promising that if diplomacy failed, Trump was "going to take the Strait of Hormuz."
“I think Lindsey Graham is a disgrace, and I think you have one of the worst representatives of any representative in the United States,” Donald Trump said, “I don’t think he could run for dog catcher in this state and win again… The guy is a nut job… He’s one of the dumbest human beings I’ve ever seen.” Lindsey Graham replied, “Looking back, we should have basically kicked him out of the party... The more you know about Donald Trump, the less likely you are to vote for him. The more you know about his business enterprises, the less successful he looks. The more you know about his political giving, the less Republican he looks... We should have done this months ago... What is conservatism? If it’s Donald Trump carrying the conservative banner I think not only do we lose the election, but we’ll be unable in the future to grow the conservative cause... any time you ignore what could become an evil force, you wind up regretting it.” https://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/03/lindsey-graham-donald-trump-kicked-out-220402
ReplyDeleteStrange bedfellows indeed….
ReplyDeleteThis emphasizes something I sometimes suspect APRFTGV sometimes forgets?
ReplyDeleteThat the Ukraine war is Not *about* Ukraine; and the side which most strongly desires the well-being of the Ukr people is Not those with power in NATO/ EU/ The West.
[Who, on the contrary, have evidently and over the long-term set-up and sustain the whole thing - and who will not stop pursuing their destructive strategy - *whatever* happens in the location of Ukr in the next months or years. ]
The goal is a war with no winners (except among its architects): a war of mutual destruction. This, I think, needs to be grasped but very seldom is.
By my understanding; those with power in the West do Not desire the victory of The West but the destruction of The West (as well as Russia, as well as Ukr) - they desire what they are actually getting: an ever-expanding, always escalating, multi-front world war of mutual destruction.
Exactly the same applies mutatis mutandis in the Middle East, and is planned in East Asia (using Taiwan as another Ukr) - and elsewhere.
IMO: We are dealing, here, with a strategic extremity of evil intent which has perhaps never been seen before (except briefly, and in a few individuals) in the history of the world.
Little wonder, therefore, it is *so* hard for us to grasp, that the motivation of maximum destructive chaos is able to operate invisibly, in plain sight.
