Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) took to Twitter to reflect on the Trump-Putin presser Monday, when President Donald Trump did not denounce Russian President Vladimir Putin for Russians’ proven tampering in the 2016 U.S. election. Graham called the press conference a “missed opportunity.”

Graham is an occasional critic of Trump and is not up for reelection until 2020.

  1. (stage left) the Trump wisperer enters…dressed in Turncoat and sneakers…

  2. Miss Lindsey just doesn’t care that Trump is a Putin asset and a traitor. Far from being an occasional critic, Miss Lindsey is now a full fledged Trump folllower.

  3. Lindsey is something for sure. Compromised might be another.

  4. What do they have on you, Lindsey? That does not sound like a critique we would have heard from the hawk you once presented yourself as.

    What do they have on you?

  5. Fucking traitor.

    We need to start using that word to describe these people. Matter-of-factly. All the time. Because they’re fucking traitors. All of them. Every little coward with an -R by their name. Traitors to their country. If Joe Fucking Walsh can say it, every bland centrist squish needs to be saying it. Because a lot of Americans don’t know. Sen. McCain? Go there. Say it. Use the T-word. Go on, it feels a little naughty but it’s liberating. All you Bushes? All you antsy red state Dem electeds? Sing it from the rafters. Or it’s lights out for America.

    Chuckles? I need to see some cooling saucer motherfuckers using the T-word soon. Nancy? Why are your people not screaming bloody murder? They stole our country. Sold it out from under us. To Russia. To the dead-eyed sons of the authoritarian butchers they built their whole brand on protecting us from. Traitors. That’s what they are. All of them. Especially the quiet ones. Say it.
