To: Lindsey Graham (R - Lying Asshole)
As is usually the case when addressing any Republican these days, my first comment is an obvious one: Just where the fuck do you get off?
Re your ludicrous resolution: The purpose of the resolution is to let the House know that the process youre engaging in regarding the attempted impeachment of President Trump is out of bounds, is inconsistent with due process as we know it
. and is a substantial deviation from what the House has done in the past regarding impeachment of other presidents.
First of all, are you unaware that weve all seen the video footage of what you said during the impeachment inquiry into Bill Clinton, and how you took a completely opposite position on how the process was to be followed at that time?
Secondly, you stated that the Trump impeachment inquiry is a secret proceeding and a rogue action. Let me remind you of what a secret proceeding consists of. It would include a pResident having closed door, one-on-one meetings with our enemies, e.g. Putin and Kim Jong Un, and refusing to disclose to anyone what was discussed. It would include transcripts/audios of phone conversations with world leaders that are secreted away on stand-alone servers with highly limited access thereto.
A rogue action would be standing on a stage in Helsinki and declaring that despite the overwhelming evidence confirmed by our own intelligence agencies that Russia had attacked the 2016 election, Putin was completely innocent of any involvement. A rogue action would be unilaterally deciding to abandon our allies, the Kurds, and literally handing Putin and Erdogan a victory over our country.
Youve stated that the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Trump is "dangerous to the future of the presidency". Whats dangerous here is a pResident who is willing to ignore the Constitution and the rule of law, and use taxpayer dollars as leverage to extort damaging information on a political rival from our ally, Ukraine. Your concern is not the future of the presidency its the future of a traitor who only ascended to the presidency with the help of our Russian foes.
I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt, Linds, and assume that you were born with a pair of balls. But they obviously shrivelled up years ago, especially when you sat in silence as your pResident trashed John McCain, a war hero who you held out as one of your closest friends. That, more than any other despicable thing you have done over the years, was indisputable proof of just how ball-less you really are.
I will give you credit for one thing. You were downright prescient when you said, If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed and we will deserve it.
Well, lo and behold, that is exactly where you and your party are right now, about to go down with the lying, racist, pussy-grabbing traitor youve enabled, encouraged, lied for, perjured yourselves for, and conspired with in order to keep your grubby little hands on political power.
Lets face facts, Linds. Im sure youve seen the polls that show that your Russian ass-kissing pResident doesnt have a chance in hell of being re-elected. Im sure youve noticed that right now, the majority of the country thinks your pResident should be impeached and removed from office. But then again, perhaps you actually are unaware of those facts, having your head so far up Trumps ass that you are unable to hear and see whats going on in the real world.
While you and your cohorts are busy staging attention-getting stunts like storming a SCIF like a bunch of sophomore boys raiding the girls locker room in high school the rest of the country is wondering why you Republicans dont seem to have any defence of your Dotards actions.
Whether by impeachment or by losing the 2020 election which is now assured given that his base doesnt have the numbers to re-elect him your pResident is going down, at which point he will immediately be facing charges of tax evasion, money laundering, et cetera, in New York state. Of course, when that happens, you and your fellow GOPers will deny ever having known the criminal, no less supported him. He will just be another coffee boy who worked at the White House once upon a time.
You can fool some of the people, some of the time, Linds. But the only people you are fooling are the people too stupid to understand whats going on. And even they are now wondering what the fuck youre doing.
Let me put it in terms simple enough for even you to understand. If contempt was the surface of the ocean, you and your party would require scuba gear in order to breathe. That is how far beneath contempt you all are.

EDITED TO ADD Lindsey's response to my email: "Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you.
Due to the large volume of mail I receive, I regret that I am only able to respond personally to inquiries from South Carolinians.
As we continue our work in the 116th Congress, I look forward to supporting our troops in the War on Terror, repairing our economy and creating jobs, strengthening Social Security, lowering the tax burden on American families, and making the federal government more accountable and efficient."
Sincerely,
Lindsey Graham

(854 posts)Isn't this what used to be called a "panty raid"? As sophomoric now as it was then. And, speaking to the choir, we all know that the House committees conducting the current hearings also have these creatures called "Republicans" on them - now I need to get to the couch immediately before I fall down from the vapors.

(4,341 posts)The one question that should be asked of Lindsey...Why did he make a 180 turn after just one round of Golf, it only took a few holes of golf to change his mind, attitude, loyalty, opinion on the creature. What did trump say to him to make him make that turn and now a fighter for his master?
Incriminating photos, videos, documents, what???? What do trump and Putin have on Graham that has made him into a puppet of the creature?

I studied Constitutional law and probably know more about it than most, but it frosts my freckles when, time after time, these republican scat munchers (Gaetz, Jordan, Graham, Rude-eee and that pigfucker Nunes) insist on telling us what the document says. The House proceeding is NOT unconstitutional -- just the opposite. They have followed the rules and proceeded as according to precedent. There IS a process and Madam Speaker is making sure that they follow it.

(63,221 posts)I really want him to see this. I want someone to shove this letter under his little brown, cheeto covered nose and force him to read it. I want him to understand that we see him for what he is. He is such a little coward and he is beneath contempt. I want him to resign in shame.

(17,986 posts)My Senator answers every one of his emails personally. It takes a while until he gets the time, but he feels we vote for him.
Of course his name is Sherrod Brown. He is an honest Senator. I doubt he gets the outraged mail Lindsey does.
Great post, Nance!

The Sound of Corruption
Hello, liar our old friend
We've come to vote you out again.
'Cause corruption softly was creeping
Left its seeds while you were dreaming.
And the vision that was planted in your brain
Still remains
Within the halls of corruption.
In restless halls you walked alone
made of polished granite stone
'Neath the halo of a desk lamp
You turned your life to the cold and damp
When your eyes were blinded by the flash of a media light
That split the night
And touched your vision of corruption.
And in the naked light you saw
10 million people, maybe more
Voters talking loudly, protesting
You hear without listening
People writing laws that voters never knew
none of you
Disturb the sound of corruption.
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
corruption like a cancer grows,
Hear our protest we might teach you
Take our petition we might reach you"
But our words, like silent teardrops fell
And echoed in the wells of corruption
And the voters bowed and prayed
To the phony gods they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are
Written in history's walls
And tenement halls
And whispered for defeat of corruption."
