FTA:


Lindsey Graham offered up what has become the standard Republican response to Trump’s prosecution. Unlike Trump, and most of the party’s voters, Graham did not insist Trump had legitimately won the 2020 election. Instead, he argued on Fox News that it is wrong to criminalize Trump’s attempt to secure an unelected second term. “This should be decided at the ballot box and not in a bunch of liberal jurisdictions trying to put the man in jail,” he complained. “They’re weaponizing the law.”

Worse, he predicted, the successful use of a state prosecution would unleash copycat tactics on the right. “This is setting a bad precedent,” continued Graham, “and what I fear is, you’re changing the game in America and there’s no going back. We’re in for a very hard time if this becomes the norm.”

    you’re changing the game in America

    Wrong, you spineless fucktard. Republicans already changed the game when you decided that a lying, misogynistic, treasonous, con-artist, tiny-penised, reality show moron is the best person to lead your party.

    This is not weaponizing the law…it is the proper application of the law because the piece of shit VIOLATED THE LAW. It’s time he rots in prison for it. Graham should just shut the fuck up.

    The real sad outcome of all of this…people still listen to Graham and still vote for him — as they do with Trump. One day the world will be rid of all of these idiots.
