Lindsey Graham: “Donald Trump is not a conservative Republican. He's an opportunist. He's not fit to be President of the United States.”

Marco Rubio: "For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)

If you’re offended by the jokes people are making about Lindsey Graham, remember this …..

Isn't it funny how the mainstream media suddenly loses interest when the truth destroys one of its favorite anti-Biden narratives.
Yes, you read that right: @HunterBiden won a defamation case over bullshit claims that he was corrupt.
And remember the FBI informant who claimed Joe and Hunter Biden took bribes from Burisma? He pleaded guilty to lying. But you probably didn't know that because it only made it to the back page headlines at the time.
The press gave the accusations endless headlines and wall-to-wall coverage. But when the stories collapse, the accusers are exposed, and the Bidens are vindicated?
Crickets.
Because the lie was profitable. The truth was inconvenient.
The lie gets the headline. The Bidens get smeared. The truth gets buried.

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

Graham on Trump:
“He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for”

Lindsey Graham on Joe Biden (2015):
“If you can't admire Joe Biden as a person, you got a problem because what's not to like? He's the nicest person I think I've ever met in politics. He is as good a man as God ever created."
Jill and I are shocked by the sudden passing of Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey and I served together in Congress for over a decade, and worked closely on many issues throughout the years. We traveled the world together as members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. We disagreed often, and sometimes loudly.
Lindsey and I did agree on the profound importance of public service. Like me, he loved the Senate as an institution, even with all its flaws and complexities.
To his family, his staff, his constituents in South Carolina, and everyone who loved him: Jill and I are keeping you in our prayers.

What do you call an administration more focused on...
- giving billionaires tax breaks
- wasting $500B on needless Iran War
- Idiotic 700M+ taxpayer ballroom
... than funding healthcare and social security? #HandsOffSocialSecurity
I'll wait...
So, Trump was lying. Big surprise,
Holy shit. This video of a Trump advisor saying on CNN that the White House is “not afraid” to cut Medicaid and says “everything” is “on the table” including cuts on Social Security.
MAGA is about to lose their health care. #HandsOffOurSocialSecurity

🚨🚨 🚨I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6
Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power
THIS is what an insurrection looks like 👇👇👇
Yup.
I believe we are currently on the brink. We are entering a particularly risky period expected between the 2026 midterm election and the 2028 presidential election. At the same time, the monetary situation is becoming increasingly threatening. The U.S. government currently spends $7 trillion while only taking in approximately $5 trillion, resulting in 40% overspending. While the government has a significant amount of debt to finance, the demand for that debt is falling. This decline in demand is driven by standard supply and demand factors, as well as fears from debt holders regarding potential sanctions.

.@parismartineau you were right on, Leo was wrong. The main issue was not government shutting down Fable, the story was why? That is what you were trying to get at. #TWIT

The rest of us are not shocked. Republicans are spineless Trump boot lickers. Your eyes are opening way too late.
I am shocked that some of my former Republican colleagues on the Oversight Committee are supporting pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Epstein survivors are adamantly against her receiving a pardon as she was one of their main abusers next to Jeffrey Epstein and they say she is a serial liar.
If Trump gives her a pardon, it sets up a very potential quid pro quo. She will owe Trump and she will lie to protect people he ask her to.
Instead the DOJ and local prosecutors with jurisdiction should be prosecuting the rich powerful elites who raped and trafficked these brave survivors when they were just teenagers and young vulnerable women.
Why is this so complicated???
Incorrect and illegal.
"Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic." @AnthropicAI @SecWar
This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.
Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.
Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.
The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.
Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.
As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.
Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.
In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.
America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.
Thank you @AnthropicAI @DarioAmodei
