Lindsey Graham Pitches A Hissy Fit When Asked About Trump’s Nominee To Head The FBI

 

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) got visibly angry this morning when asked about a so-called “enemies list” that FBI Director nominee Kash Patel reportedly has plans to implement if he becomes head of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency.

“Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan prefaced her question by noting that former Attorney General Bill Barr had warned that Patel has “virtually no experience that would qualify him to serve at the highest level of the world’s preeminent law enforcement agency.”

“Was Attorney General Barr wrong then and wrong now?” Brennan inquired.

Graham replied, “Yeah, he was wrong then. He’s wrong now. And I take my advice on Kash Patel from Trey Gowdy, a dear friend from South Carolina who worked with Kash.”

“Well, OK, but he’s got a list,” Brennan said. “He’s got a list he’s published. Kash Patel has. He published it in a book of enemies.”

“I mean, do you take him at his word here that these are an enemies list, and you’re going to put him in a law enforcement role to go after him?” she asked.

Visibly angered, Graham responded, “I believe the hearing will expose him to be a very qualified man of the law. He’ll have to answer questions about what’s in the book. But I’m ready to vote for him because I know him, too. So you never asked me about the Russia hoax that he exposed.”

When Graham attempted to pivot to the topic of Israel, Brennan countered, “Lindsey Graham, this is a far cry from the question about Kash Patel. You took me all the way to Israel from Kash Patel.”

“OK, ask him about going after journalists, which he’s also said. I’m interested in the answer to that.”

Graham: “I’m sure Democratic friends will ask him. You shouldn’t worry about Kash Patel. You should worry about reporting the news fairly, which you don’t do when it comes to everything Trump!”

Brennan ended the interview by telling the senator, “Lindsey Graham, you’re a guest on this program because we wanted to hear you out.”

Lindsey’s such a drama queen. Does anyone know if it’s his time of the month?

Social Media Erupts With Laughter When MT Greene Says ‘I Think You Need To Understand Language’

Radical right-wing extremist nutjob Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is upset because people are asking why her political lord and savior, Rapist-in-Chief Donald “Pussy Grabber” Trump hasn’t yet ended the war between Russia and Ukraine “within 24 hours” if he won the 2024 presidential election.

For those who have forgotten, Trump told Fox host Sean Hannity, “I would fix that within 24 hours, and if I win, before I get into the office, I will have that war settled.”

The election was over a month ago, yet Russia and Ukraine are still at war. So what gives?

According to Greene, Trump didn’t actually promise what he promised.

Speaking with NOTUS, the congresswoman said, “I think you need to understand language. And everyone else in America understands that language.”

“I don’t think the media pressing Day One is specifically ‘Day One,’” Greene insisted. “But he’s talking about that as one of his first roles as president, and there are many. He’s going to be writing hundreds of executive orders but, yes, ending that war is important.”

Trump will “be the one that ends that war,” she added.

You need to understand language? That’s pretty damn ironic coming from a woman who is defending a man who never means what he says and spews crap that doesn’t make a bit of sense the majority of the time.

Trump has no actual plan to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and even if he does, it will undoubtedly consist of a demand that the Ukrainians allow Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to keep the territory he illegally seized from another sovereign nation.

So now it’s all about understanding language, huh, Marge? That’d be great if it made any sense at all, but asking a Republican to employ logic is about as pointless as asking the proverbial bear not to shit in the woods and use Charmin if he does.

Social media users had some “language” for Margie, too.

Mar Jar Binks Greene tries to explain Newspeak. She said "Understand Language" when she meant to not take things literally. Day One is not really Day One and 24 hours in not even 24 months if Big Brother says it.Newspeak is here.

“I think you need to understand language,” Greene said, "and everyone else in America understands that language.”That is what crazy lady marge said when asked about this.I say no marge, the American people understand that your orange Jesus is a lying idiot!!!!!!!!!!

GOP WTF?!

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Ignores National Tribute To Jimmy Carter – Orders Flags In State Return To ‘Full-Staff’

Having already dishonored the memory of former President Jimmy Carter by sending condolences to his late widow, Rosalynn, Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott decided he’d go for the diss twofer and order that flags in the Lone Star State be raised to full-staff by next Monday, the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration.

President Joe Biden issued a presidential decree on Dec. 29 for a monthlong tribute to Carter. It called for U.S. flags displayed on “all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions” to be flown at half-staff “for a period of 30 days from the day of his death.”

Based on the decree, flags are to be flown at half-staff until January 29, nine days after Trump is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, which didn’t sit well with Trump, who whined on social media, writing, “The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at ‘half mast’ during my Inauguration. They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves.”

Despite the Biden decree, Abbott issued a press release today stating, “Texas continues to mourn with our fellow Americans across the country over the passing of former President Jimmy Carter. President Carter’s steadfast leadership left a lasting legacy that will be felt for generations to come, which together as a nation we honor by displaying flags at half-staff for 30 days. On January 20, our great nation will celebrate our democratic tradition of transferring power to a new President by inaugurating the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. As we unite our country and usher in this new era of leadership, I ordered all flags to be raised to full-staff at the Texas Capitol and all state buildings for the inauguration of President Trump. While we honor the service of a former President, we must also celebrate the service of an incoming President and the bright future ahead for the United States of America.”

In other words, screw the dead guy. Instead, Texas is going to honor the rapist asshat who has made it clear he has every intention of trying to destroy the United States with his moronic policies.

To hell with Texas. To hell with Greg Abbott. And to hell with Donald Trump.

Donald Trump Foreign Policy GOP Military WTF?!

Vance Suggests Trump May Take Greenland By Force: ‘We Always Have Troops’

According to Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, the United States could easily overtake the nation of Greenland and its natural resources without having to send more members of the U.S. military to accomplish the mission because “we always have troops in Greenland.”

Fox host Shannon Bream asked Vance about Donald Trump’s obsession with the country and if a military invasion was planned to take control of it.

“What’s the deal with Greenland and the Panama Canal?” Bream inquired. “Are we using or considering use of military force in any of those situations?”

“No, look, we don’t have to use military force, Shannon,” Vance responded. “The thing that people always ignore is we already have troops in Greenland.”

“Greenland is really important for America strategically,” he continued. “It has a lot of great natural resources.”

Vance added that his “good friend” Donald Trump Jr. had recently paid a visit to Greenland.

“And you know what they told him?” Vance claimed. “They want to be empowered to develop, the people of Greenland want to be empowered to develop the resources there.”

“We also need to make sure that Greenland is properly cared for from an American security perspective,” he added. “The Danish government has not done a good enough job of securing Greenland.”

“I think there actually is a real opportunity here for us to take leadership, to protect America’s security, to ensure that those incredible natural resources are developed, and that’s what Donald Trump is good at. He’s good at making deals, and I think there’s a deal to be made in Greenland.”

The problem is that Greenland has already made it clear they don’t want to be under the control of the United States. They’re happy being protected by the Danes and aren’t looking for a new suitor.

Despite that, don’t be surprised if Trump does something strategically moronic and gets members of our military killed. After all, everything the tangerine shitgibbon touches dies.

Donald Trump GOP Justice Department

Top Trump Cabinet Nominee Could Be Criminally Implicated In Jack Smith’s Final Report

Barring any delay from the United States Supreme Court, the Justice Department will release a report from Special Counsel Jack Smith detailing Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

As NBC News reported Thursday, “Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a letter to Congress on Wednesday that he planned to release the election interference-related volume of Smith’s report publicly if U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s order blocking the release of the report was overruled. The appeals court Thursday kept intact Cannon’s order requiring a brief delay before its release.“

While the DOJ report could prove embarrassing for Trump, it could also tank Kash Patel’s nomination as the next head of the FBI, according to former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann.

Weissmann was a guest this morning on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” and he noted, “Basically on Monday, unless things change, the temporary stay that Judge [Aileen] Cannon issued is over. She shouldn’t have even issued that with respect to either part of the report, but certainly the January 6th part is not a case that’s in front of her.”


“So by Monday, unless things change, we should see that report related to the January 6th investigation, and there could be interesting new details in that report,” he continued. “With respect to the Mar-a-Lago part, the classified document part, I think that is something really worth keeping our eye on because there could be lots of information in there, not just about Donald Trump and why he did what he did, but also about Kash Patel, who is reported to have gone to the grand jury and has said that he was there when Donald Trump allegedly declassified everything.”

Patel would weaponize the FBI to go after Trump’s perceived enemies and might also share classified information with our enemies, especially Russia, which is believed to have compromising information about the president-elect and others in the GOP.

Kash Patel needs to be rejected by the Senate. Hopefully, Jack Smith’s report will all but guarantee that.
