Two idiots providing Chump cover

Miss Lindsey Graham appeared on CBS' FACE THE NATION today and has truly gone bonkers.  After failing to successfully present opposition to a ground war in Venezuela as a partisan issue (host Margaret Brennan countered, "Well, there's a lot there, sir, but you cited a Democratic senator's criticism. He's not the only one. Some of your Republican colleagues have been uncomfortable with what little information has been shared with Congress." and then noted three examples), Graham grew only more untethered to reality, "Yeah. Well, I think the end game is to make sure that Venezuela and Colombia cannot be used to poison America, that the narco-terrorist dictator Maduro no longer be able to threaten our country and to send in drugs to kill Americans."  That's now the way the US decides to go to war?  

Next up, Junior readies his forces at Health and Human Services to go to war over artificial petroleum-based dyes in foods and, noting that this historically originated in Egypt, he's going to war with Egypt.

Maybe we should go to war with Chump?  He is flooding the country with hate.

Graham's so distracted that he says crap like this, "When President Bush, 41, took Ortega out in Panama, Reagan went into Grenada to deal with the Cuban influence from Grenada in our backyard, he has all the authority in the world."  Huh?  Is Lindsey now huffing Donald's dirty drawers?  How else to explain that sentence?  Ronald Reagan and Grenada did not happen after Poppy Bush and Ortega.  Is Lindsey on some sexual high -- did he get a new copy of INCHES delivered? -- or is losing his mind and no longer to think in terms of chronology?


Margaret Brennan repestedly attempted to bring reality into the conversation:

 
MARGARET BRENNAN:  We looked at the JAG manual: preventative self defense employed to counter non imminent threats is illegal under international law. So if we are not at war and these suspected criminals pose no threat of imminent violence, isn't this potentially a war crime to be killing the people on these boats and then to be taking out a leader?

But is trafficking cocaine an armed attack on the United States? That's what you're equating it to?

Well, you referenced something earlier. Sorry. I want to come back to you said to the men and women of the military that they are carrying out lawful orders. Secretary Hegseth removed the top uniformed lawyers in the Air Force, you know this, the Navy and the Army, because he called them roadblocks to orders that are given by a commander-in-chief. There have been other departures as well. This raises concern that commanders are not being given adequate legal counsel. That is why you just said that sentence, to assure them.

 
Instead of providing logical answers, Lindsey snarled things like, "That's that's garbage, that's absolute garbage" as though Margaret had suggested that Nick Jonas' hairy lower back wasn't as sexy as Joe Jonas chest -- a topic Lindsey could speak to at length.

Poor Lindsey, a life lived on hold, the personification of Don't Ask Don't Tell. It apparently took Laura Loomer putting it on Twitter for the GOP to acknowledge their Auntie Lindsey.  Now they just need to find him a fellow.

In news of other men no one wants to touch, but this one a straight guy, Stephen Miller continues to bellow out his nonsense and now threatens to arrest Illinois Governor JD Pritzker:

"Well, the answer I’m about to give doesn’t only apply to Gov. Pritzker, it applies to any state official, any local official, anybody who’s operating in an official capacity who conspires or engages in activity that unlawfully impedes federal law enforcement conducting their duties.”“So if you engage in a criminal conspiracy to obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws or to unlawfully order your own police officers or your own officials to try to interfere with ICE officers, or even to arrest ICE officers, you’re engaged in criminal activity,” he said, referring to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Different types of crimes would apply. There is obstruction of justice. There is harboring illegal aliens. There is impeding the enforcement of our immigration laws.”

Governor Pritzker, Mayor Karen Bass, etc are officials who oversee certain regions and their job is to protect people in those regions.  If ICE breaks the law?  The legal answer is: They get arrested.  That's how it works.  Miller never understood the law which is why right now passes for his "big moment."  It's actually the nail in his political coffin.  As it should be.
