none of the other loonies TOGETHER can eclipse this walking mental meltdown. Hell, even Grumpy, Grampy McFiveplanes has a glimmer of sanity when standing next to his buddy, Loopy Lindsey!

I also like Loopy Lindsey! Because he IS! Plucketeer is on a roll, for sure!

Panamanian strongman "Crash" McCain.

Constipated there.

He wishes...

take a bullet?

And the civilian control of the military in our Constitution is derivative of that.

and that certainly was not accidental, it makes a good end run around that pesky Constitution.

You know..."Big Evil Government?"

Or is "Big Government" okay with the GOP as long as it servers their wishes?

Only the King can command all the armies, that would be "His Majesty Graham" to you!

OK, OK, I'll compromise, His Majesty Sir Graham.

You have to give him a modicum of credit for going there he does support the #47 letter he signed and cannot claim the letter he signed is a joke. Maybe he should take up electronic media where people drop their inhibitions and say what they really think. This should make good theater for the Sunday news shows that people do not watch and ridicule. Chuck Todd is probably listening maybe he will give you a chance to be the greater tool no one values. Next time it might have been easier to have sent an email.

.... because that's not what the president does. Go back to 5th grade and learn something this time.

if it's good enough for Senator Graham to do it in some future, it's good enough for President Obama to do it now. And why not with a few other bills he wants to see done too?

I think that's called a robbery.

Because he is mad as a hatter.

Because, he's obviously delusional. No way in hell that sack of human feces is ever going to be President.

Nevertheless you nailed it. He probably thought no one would notice.

Bush didn't have the imagination to tell a joke with that level of wit.

What defense cuts?

The South is reliant on the teat of Uncle Sucker. They wrap themselves in the flag and hide behind those in uniform but really they know that the massive military bases from Texas to Florida to Virginia are a huge part of those states' economy. But we need them, of course, those Spaniards could attack again at any moment.

When we've got our own crew of absurd clowns right here at home!!!

Is that how we're supposed to greet him when we see him?

Except I was focused on the word "literally".

When he gets called on this, he will say he didn't mean literally.

Graham would be the first squealing like a pig. He is a senator, why doesn't he just implore his colleagues to stay in session?

Simpson Bowles resurrection. I hope he continues to disgrace himself even further, so any legislation proposed by him will be automatically rejected before it ever gets to the floor.

Enough with the threats by Pukes to Social Security already.

Reasoned Congressional discourse from Preston Brooks - 1856
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_of_Charles_Sumner

Republicans, at least since 1980, have defined freedom as the inalienable right of big business to give the world the business and excludes all freedom in the political realm.

For example . . .

Could he be any more insane than this? So he wants to use the military to FORCE congress, at the end of a gun, to vote the way he wants, really? So he wants to be a military dictator, third world style? Good luck with this hoss, ain't gonna happen, to use some southern vernacular of my own.

This would be illegal and idiotic for any proposed legislation. (Never mind the pose comitatus act)

But it is the absolute worse case scenario to invoke the military to enforce military funding.

It doesn't take much imagination to see where that could go badly.

Nothing worse than a guy whose masculinity has been questioned trying to act macho.

How dim.

The insane asylum. We keep hearing assholes like him say Liberals will take your guns, liberals will declare Marshall law. This guy proves that it's stinking Republicans thawill declare Marshall law and take away our guns...

a swastika armband!

Congress won't do its job, and somehow that's Obama's fault?

How about using the defense to restore jobs, How about using the defense to restore unemployment compensation, how about using defense to restore the education system in this country instead of trying to privatize it, how about using defense to protect SOCIAL SECURITY and Disability payments for human beings, how about using the defense to get healthcare like they get (MILITARY and CONGRESS) and by the way its socialized medical care, to give us clean water, food, how about using the defense to rebuild the roads water system and the 72% of the bridges that are deemed unsafe to drive on there zippy and clean air, how about using defense to give human beings wages to live on, and how about using the defense to go after one Cliven Bundy, you know that guy that has broken the law, and then after your done with that why don't you just have the defense arrest you for violating the LOGAN ACT and The CONSTITUTION under the acts of treason /sedition there BOZO

....why the rest of we progressives are armed to the teeth. Don't worry we have plenty for the non-believers should and when the Lindsay Graham moment occur.

Conservatives would love to eliminate large numbers of their fellow Americans. After a while turning the other cheek only results in getting bruises on both sides of our faces. No one else is going to stand up for us so we have to do it ourselves.

Positiveness = Non-violence/Peace

although it's all the way across the state from Fort Sumter.

What he's saying is that President Obama can compel the Congress to approve spending that he wants and the Congress doesn't.....do I have that right?

Said..." OK, until you get some actual work done that benefits the PEOPLE, these soldiers are keeping you in this building" to the current congress. I continue to use a small "c" for congress until they become a meaningful institution.

Always keen to send other peoples kids into harms way....

...all Herr Graham needs are some brown shirts to make his "dream" a reality.

Godwin, shmodwin. The analogy fits.

Probably why the word "Reichstag" popped into my mind when I saw this thread.

Brilliant idea, cause that wouldn't ever be a problem...

That's some Boris Yeltsin shit right there.

the Constitution was meant to protect our federal republic against. And he's in his third term as US Senator. I'd say the republic has its back up against the wall at this point.

Is a failure to communicate

...it didn't ultimately end all that well for the south.

Don't your remember you forced the President to make them so that he could get the debt ceiling lifted?
I didn't think so.

Me neither, but an Emperor pretty much bullied Senators around as they pleased. (see the BBC series "I, Claudius" or the books, especially Caligula)
