Graham unloads on Trump: Blind spot on Russia 'undermining his entire presidency'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A senior Senate Republican on Sunday said President Trump’s plan to work with Russia on cybersecurity is “pretty close” to the “dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called Trump’s Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin “disastrous” and said the president has a “blind spot” on Russia.

“When it comes to Russia I am dumbfounded, I am disappointed, and at the end of the day he’s hurting his presidency by not embracing the fact that Putin is a bad guy,” Graham said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”

“He is literally the only person I know of who doesn’t believe Russia attacked our election in 2016,” Graham said of Trump, who has said that “nobody really knows” whether the Russians were behind attempts to hack the 2016 presidential election.

1. Yeah, but that's like "undermining" a wheelbarrow full of shit

Seriously--what's to undermine?

Will it hurt Trump's golf handicap? Reduce his enjoyment of beautiful chocolate cake? Cause him to forget when his limo is parked directly in front of him at the base of the steps to his gigantic personal aircraft?

2. Graham's words are meaningless because he never acts on them.

Let me know when he starts introducing and passing legislation in the Senate to deal with the Russian threat.

3. Get real, Trump's views on everything is a blind spot.

Let's list a couple of others: climate change, free press, ethics, common sense, etc

4. I continue to hold out hope that patriotic republicans that put country before party.

And there are many of them, eventhough they won't admit it. I hope they rise up and help us get rid of the Trump stain on this country. Then we can get back to settling our legitimate policy differences with them once we again have a functioning government.

5. Trump needs to minimize the Russian meddling because his campaign will be found guilty.

And he knows it.

So he has to throw as much interference and undermining as possible. Anything else will be thrown back at him when the shit hits the fan.

6. bla bla bla yak yak yak but he still votes for trump proprosals anyway...like McCain nt

[GeorgeGist]

7. undermining the entire world. IMO

[Amaryllis]

8. So what's Graham gonna do about it? Talk is cheap.

[Solly Mack]

9. Graham is a cheap collapsible chair.

He never quite folds the same way twice but he always folds.

Meaningless talk from a meaningless conservative. Not that there is any other kind.

10. TRUMP COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA

THERE IS NO BLIND SPOT

11. You really have to step in the mud

to have Lindsey Graham tout you as "dumbest"

[tavernier]

12. But he was pleased at everything else

His Lardship is doing.

13. Tweedle Dumb or is it Tweedle Dumber this time?

I see there's a story right above this one on John McCain announcing the health bill is likely dead.

...But if it were introduced he'd be the first to scrawl his john henry on it.

Graham comes out once a month or two to cover his ass with moderate Republican voters to try and maintain some bare semblance of credibility by trying to act and speak like he actually has a brain and a moral compass. Just like his Tweedle brother.

Republicans are so easy.

14. Why do these words have more meaning when they come from a rethug?

I suppose it stresses the obviousness of the conclusion, but really! tRump's actions are consistent with that of a criminal. It shouldn't matter who calls his actions troubling, THEY ARE TROUBLING!!!

[gratuitous]

15. A "blind spot," Senator???

Is that what we're calling the betrayal of our Constitution, a "blind spot"? Just wow.

[BSdetect]

16. You can't undermine an illegitimate presidency - its already a void

[WhiteTara]

17. He can't acknowledge because

he is neck deep in the affair...he would never muss his hair.

[DefenseLawyer]

18. Now, excuse me while I go vote the party line 100% of the time. n/t
