This is a long read about how Graham went from a never-Trump into an all-in MAGA nut. It is a fascinating long read.

    Not sure a long article if needed. Trump became the Republican party, and they all had a choice: continue to have a spine and call out this lying grifter for what he is (while also endangering their political career) or capitulate to Trump, become a jellyfish, and keep your job. Lady G. made his choice.

      Didn’t Graham change his tune after a round of golf with Trump? Not that I’d expect Graham to have a different position anyways but it has the overt appearance of some coercion thrown in there, assuming the timeline matches (never checked it myself). Probably pretty easy for Trump to do with Russian intelligence and popup book on why it’s in his best interest to use intelligence for a change.

        I’m not kidding when I say I watched some cspan hearing where Lindsay angrily grilled some government agent on whether Russia had dirt on any politicians. Lindsay looked panicked and agitated.
