    What a coincidence: I think Lindsey Graham’s birth was a mistake.

    Without action, any republicans ‘tut tut’-ing trump is just blowing smoke. I care as much about this as Collins or Murkowski aggressively furrowing their brows at trump for 4 straight years.

    If only there were some indication that this is what he wanted to do so Lindsey could have encouraged people to vote against him.

    Lindsey “I’m Captain Hindsight” Graham, everybody.

    Thanks for the useless fucking commentary, Graham. Can I get the winning lottery numbers from three lotteries ago and yesterday’s weather, too?

    Another instance of Trump doing what he made it very clear he was going to do, and people act surprised. No shit Graham, Trump was a mistake and you supported him as hard as possible.
