Sen. Graham: Sending message to Russia important. Message sent: No impeachment for Russian asset Trump.

Graham: If Iran (compliant with nuclear agreement made to date abdicated by Trump after taking office) starts developing nuclear technologies and ballistic missiles (like Israel, Pakistan, and India for nuclear weapons and including their arch-enemy, Saudi Arabia, with its recent purchasing of Chinese ICBM's), then Israel will arbitrarily declare a preemptive war against that state! That's alright because some Iranian leader said death to Israel! If North Korea says death to America (as they constantly do, among other dire threats), has ballistic missiles and the nuclear warheads developed, we will not go to war with North Korea.

GRAHAM: Sending Russia a message important; Trump's failure to send message in personal interactions, his disgraceful subservience to Putin in those interactions, his ending of Russian sanctions not important, his joking about Russian election interference attack against America, sloughing it off to his master and installer, Putin...not important!
7
Graham: OK for Trump to slough off Russian attack against our electoral systems with joke, cowardly unwilling to confront Putin directly and frankly.

MEDIA FAIL -- Some good questions, but very little pushback or follow through from the journalist interviewing, and a number of burning, critical questions never asked. Graham is a traitor to his sworn oath, democracy, and his country in attempting to cover-up the treasonous crimes of Trump outlined in Mueller Report. No questions why? No questions about covering-up for Trump rape? Why should viewers trust Graham about anything?

SENATOR Graham advises Don Jr. to ignore SENATE Subpoena!?!?! Claims Mueller exonerates Trump!?!?! Attacks Kavanaugh rape victim just for Trump SCOTUS pick!?!?! Unwilling to even consider highly credible rape claim against Trump!?!?! Lindsey Graham, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Cover-up Kommittee (SICK) also, Co-Chairman of the Senate Unconcealed Cover-up Kommittee Sub (SUCKS)

@marisadallavalle393 Let's define those interests clearly, and let us align those interests with human- and civil-rights properly, and that they benefit not just the parties involved, but the interests of all humanity, with an eye towards future generations. Let us not engage in double-standards and double-dealing. Let us show due regard and respect for other nations sovereignty, and for our own limitations. Let us not be ignorant on world affairs and our own government, easy prey to foreign meddling against our own nation. ….My little nightly prayer!

And this was a puffball interview! No hard questions why he abdicated sworn oath to Constitution to cover-up for Trump, or about recent revelation of Trump rape! Only one pushback, with no real follow-up to a BS response from Graham to that. Reminiscent of the pathetic CBS interview of Barr.

MEDIA FAIL -- How to deliberately misinform viewers: ask opposing pol about primary candidates.

U.S. pols know this, but kowtow to Saudi Arabia and Israel to vilify Iran unjustly. No fan of the ayatollahs, U.S. duplicity is nonetheless wrong and counterproductive. If U.S. was really serious about nuclear non-proliferation, we would have been living up to our end of the NNPT agreement. We never have, and we've never even made any serious efforts to do so. We allow Israel to develop nuclear weapons and protect them despite their not signing on to any nuclear agreements. You reap what you sow.

@virginiadoan116 OK, Putin, if you say so!

@virginiadoan116 Sounds like the Republican cult, Doc!

@virginiadoan116 Sure, Doc, but what about Whataboutism?

@marisadallavalle393 Don't think the U.S. can afford to be isolationist, as we can see with Trump, that type of foreign policy can be disastrous. We do have "interests" in the region, but it also seems our "interests" shouldn't be supporting corrupt autocratic regimes, invading sovereign nations without declaring war, and installing puppet regimes. The antagonism with Iran stems directly from our meddling in their affairs, replacing their democratically elected leader back in the '50s.

@marisadallavalle393 Thanks! More good people like us! Don't leave yourself out! There is plenty of good people out there besides us, too! Difficult as it may be in times like these, it is important to keep hope! As a Jeffersonian, believe in the basic goodness of humans. Trouble is, being human, we're not always as good as we can be, so there are these periodic episodes of darkness requiring vanquishing. Seems we don't always learn from our previous mistakes as well as we should!

feelings Are Not Arguments Yeah, the DNC buying my carrots, Doc! Except this was only posted once here. You may have seen a slightly different, more concise version afterwards posted. Kept this one up because it is more descriptive of the mendacity involved. Sorry if that "bugs" you, hurt your feelings!
1
@virginiadoan116 So you see, Doc, it just doesn't matter anymore what you want to believe...the rest of us got to deal with the ugly realities, and cleaning up after your cult manure mess...again, just as we were forced to do after Bush last time.
1
feelings Are Not Arguments All feelings, no facts or arguments, Doc! Evidently didn't bother reading the Mueller Report, trusted Faux news, instead. Big mistake!

Mark Rogers Stupid is as stupid does, stupid! Everyone knows that, Doc! Can you believe those fools falling for a fake Putin President's phony narratives?!? Simply unbelievable!

@Rick_Riff Mueller wasn't about indictments. It was, in part, about collecting and presenting the evidence of possible crimes by the President, for impeachment or indictments to be handed down upon leaving Office. Mueller didn't fail, other than in not supporting his own work better. DOJ under Barr wouldn't indict, anyway, as he had the chance--instead choosing to grossly misrepresent the Report. Pelosi facing tough obstacles and hurdles, desperately needs court decisions soon. But not up to Pelosi alone; impeachment impossible without Congressional Republicans. Media must hold them accountable, educate public better on their treasonous behavior. Otherwise, no impeachment!
