The trouble with Lindsey Graham

He's like a semi-automatic pistol that jams at the most inopportune times: "Lindsey Graham Congratulates Adam Schiff: 'Good Job, You’re Very Well Spoken'”.

Update: You're being watched, Schiff-Head!

I'm not sure who Senator Graham is anymore. Was that Lindsey 1.0 coming out of retirement for a return appearance, or was it Lindsey 2.0 glad-handing Schiff-for-Brains while sliding a shiv between his ribs?

In keeping with the gun metaphor, I think this was Graham congratulating Schiff for his accuracy when he shot himself in the foot.

School visit to our national parliament 54 yrs ago what shocked me was to see PM and leader of opposition party, exchanging notes and giggling to each other openly across house in session. Like the oublic brawling was just for show, for us dumb plebs to lap it up.

Bruce: I think there's an awful lot of that that goes on. "Ok, time to put our wrestling pants on and go entertain the rubes for awhile".

oublic isn't a word, just hit the wrong key, should be 'public brawling'.

I am anythinbg but fan of Graham, but I feel it necessary to assume the role of Devil's Advocate ... ...

Either Graham was being sarcastic (some people just can't pull that off), or he's thinking that Schiff's speech is ammunition for Trump.

Or maybe he was playing a drinking game during Schff's s**tshow, and Graham 1.0 popped out, like any good Id.

Always good to have a range of perspectives, especially on this informal gotcha stuff. Glass could be half full, true.

Imo, Graham was genuinely congratulating Schiff on a job well done, from the Deep State's perspective.
Personally, I think Graham and McConnell are proof of the uni-party Deep State.
Everything else is just wrestling pants and kayfabe.
