Lindsey Graham: "Yeah, it's a lynching in every sense."

Seems that Graham is back to defending his orange god. If Trump said that gas chambers and ovens were a very efficient way of disposing of millions, would Graham nod and agree?

IMO, there's no difference between Trump/Graham and those who brought the rope for a lynching. They're the same people living in a different time. They're not against lynching. They're for accusing their enemies of it. They're tarring people who oppose them of being "lynchers."

This really raises hypocrisy to an art form. You just know that these pricks would have been the leaders of lynch mobs in a heartbeat.

It's impossible to despise them enough.

Graham wants us talking about the coded word he deployed as SPECTACLE.

We have to step back and watch these f*ckers use sleight of hand and shell games and carnival tricks to catch public attention each day.

Coming soon, expect it... Trump will use the "n" word to cover something really important.

People of color are not going to vote him so to him and shithole they are fair blame to insults and a large amount of whites believe that it is a lynching.

A lynching is a very specific thing, and it has nothing to do with the constitutional process of impeachment and removal by Congress. Lindsey Graham appears to have forgotten the Constitution as well as what a lynching actually is.

Time to retire Lindsey. You're not thinking clearly.

I do find it incredible that the GOP is using all these terms for extrajudicial killings to refer to the Constitutionally-authorized provision for removing a bad president from office.
