The left is getting better at quickly weaponizing hashtags.

The hashtag #LeningradLindsey trended on Twitter Thursday after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) forced a controversial asylum bill through committee.

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday advanced a bill to overhaul U.S. asylum laws, waiving committee rules to force the bill through to the full Senate, where it likely won’t get the 60 votes it needs to pass.

But Graham’s move to push the bill through the panel outraged Democrats who say the South Carolina senator broke the rules on how lawmakers take up legislation in order to move a partisan bill along.

30. Is Russian Rand In The Public Lexicon Yet?

Because I prefer Ruble Rand.

[global1]

4. We Need To Use Trump's Tactics With The Repugs.....

It's now worked with Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey.

Now we have to label or nickname other Repugs and hang a negative moniker on them.

Any ideas as to who we should target and label?

17. Yeah, even GWB called Putin "Pooty Poot!" And tRUMP has nothing.

eom

[grumpyduck]

28. Well, going by the precedent of "Bradgelina" and similar ones,

how about Putrumpski?

[DemocracyMouse]

12. ......And keep it on the Russia collusion theme... because they're not only traitors....

...these memes are the only news Americans seem to think is interesting. We've been hardwired into a consumer mentality and passing judgement on the aesthetics of memes is the average Americans form of critical thinking..... jeez I'm cynical.

#TedCruzovich?

7. Just when I thought Rand Paul was the biggest douche in the universe...

Lindsay Graham is offering him some competition. Ugh, the sooner we rid ourselves of these disgusting POSs the better!

[BannonsLiver]

35. I'd like to offer them both a free ride to Rand's neighbor's house.

[EveHammond13]

8. LOL! GOOD

[Roy Rolling]

11. Ordinary People Doing Their Part

The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, a trending hashtag is where most like-minded people now congregate.

Welcome to the revolution, and yes, it will be televised. Because what was true in the sixties is not always true in 2019.

[QED]

13. IQ45 must really have something big on him.

It was that golf game - after Graham was all praise for DollyDollhands. What was revealed?

[olegramps]

23. Maybe he let Leningrad Linsey to play with his balls.

[BannonsLiver]

36. Probably has something to do with the rumors that have dogged Graham for years.

Some people here get their hackles up (which is beyond bizarre) when it’s brought up so I won’t.

[czarjak]

14. Nyet collusion!!!!!!!!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

15. It looks like Aunt Lindsey is taking a page from the trump playbook,

screw the rules, the procedure, the accepted methods and established protocols for passing legislation, just RAM IT through. Kinda sounds like trumpie's approach to governing to me.

[dhill926]

19. and if there's no recourse in dealing with...

this asshole blatantly breaking the rules...we are fucked...

[PatrickforO]

18. Leningrad Lindsey!

Yay!

[Rebl2]

20. Doesn't this

have to also go to the house as well? By the way, I thought they off for the next 6 weeks, so why are they trying to push a bill through?

[Silver Gaia]

22. Was thinking the same...

So what's the point? Besides scoring points with Trump for being a RW asshole, that is.

[lame54]

21. I do delareski

[Earth Bound Misfit]

24. ...

[Soph0571]

25. Oh my good god

[Floyd R. Turbo]

38. Ha!

[renate]

26. Why not Lindsey Leningraham?

It rolls off the tongue.

[geardaddy]

33. I like that one!

[Funtatlaguy]

29. My vapors are only eclipsed by my hypocrisy.

[andym]

31. Using another Russian nickname against Graham is a mistake because it weakens Moscow Mitch

Moscow Mitch is apropos because he is literally serving Putin's interests by not passing laws to strengthen our election system. Moreover, he played a role in preventing Obama from revealing Russian interference in 2016.

Trump should have gotten the Leningrad nickname, not Lindsey.

Graham's misdeeds are more focused on achieving generic partisan goals and acting like a petty third-world dictator. Something like Idi Amin Graham or Sadam Graham might be more appropriate.

Nicknames as political weapons should highlight a key characteristic.

[More_Cowbell]

34. I agree. I like Leveraged Lindsey

Because we know that Trump has something on him.
