President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

[Shelbyville Manhattan]

Graham was in Kyiv on Friday. And he was pushing for sanctions against Russia during that trip.

After the disastrous Trump-Zelensky White House meeting in February last year, Graham even suggested the Ukrainian president should resign. “I don’t know if we could ever do business with Zelensky again,” he said.

But he was soon back to lobbying on Ukraine’s behalf, urging Trump to provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles and designing a drastic sanctions package with the goal of crippling sanctions against any country importing Russian oil.

The senator was back in Kyiv days before his death, being warmly greeted by Zelensky, touring a Ukrainian drone plant and again talking up support for Ukraine.

Hours before he left, Graham announced that a bipartisan group of senators had reached an agreement with the White House to impose a new package of sanctions on Russia.

“We have the formula to end this war,” he said. “Help Ukraine be more lethal. Let those supporting Russia know it’s going to be a price to be paid if you keep doing it.”

It would have been more obvious if he’d fallen out of a window, but I suspect something here. And no apparent blood-pressure issues or whatnot; the Disney Adult was just on Space Mountain barely three months ago!

They talked about military history.

It’ll be the first one Lindsey’s ever been in.

Graham flip-flopped on both Ukraine and re: Trump for years and managed to avoid accusations of disloyalty or failure to stick to his principles etc. And he did all of this while being a closeted gay man in an SEC state. Kind of amazing.
He’ll go down in history as the first Trumpist to win back Trump after criticizing him. (Trump, the most immature, petty, vindictive politician ever, curiously forgave others of treason against him, but Lady G was the first I remember getting a second chance.)

She’s nuts. And she’s an SEC state politician who occasionally alleges that sexual assault is a thing, thereby discussing a topic that makes Trump uncomfortable and contradicts official party theology.

No disrespect intended, but Graham wasn't significant enough to assassinate. And I imagine there are at least 10,000 people who have gone to Disney parks in the last three months who are dead. Not exactly a mark of great fitness if you've seen the crowds - its not like climbing Everest.

Wanna bet that they do it again?

Maybe good things come in threes. DJT, you're on the clock.

That would be fine, but I’m wondering if someone should make a welfare check on Chuck Grassley. Two Trumpist Senators die in short succession and neither is the nonagenarian from Northern Iowa?

Hope springs eternal.
