Even A Stopped Clock Is Right On Occasion
In this case, that would be Sen. Linsey Graham, R-SC.
I don’t always agree with the Senator’s public positions or statements. But I have to say I do agree with one of Sen. Graham’s recent public statements.
As many readers know, Sen. Graham is a military lawyer. And here’s what Sen Graham had to say regarding Uzbek immigrant Sayfullo Saipov – the terrorist asshole and ISIS admirer who spent weeks planning the attack in which he used a rented truck to deliberately run down 20 people in NYC the other day.
“The last thing that I want this guy to hear tonight is, ‘You have the right to a lawyer.’ The last thing he should hear is his Miranda rights. I’ve been a military lawyer for 33 years. There is enough evidence to believe that he qualifies as an enemy combatant under the law of war.”
Yeah, that’s only common sense. But it’s refreshing to hear adult statements like that from the Senator – or anyone else in Congress, for that matter. It’s just a pity we didn’t hear more statements like that from Members of Congress between Jan 2009 and Jan 2017.
. . .
On the other hand, some libidiot hypocritical a-holes defective clocks are simply never right, regardless. For example, take Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY (his party affiliation kinda goes without saying, but in the interest of accuracy I noted it anyway).
Sen. Schumer has now accused the POTUS of “politicizing” the recent terrorist attack in NYC. Funny, but I don’t seem to remember him having any problem with doing exactly the same after the Las Vegas mass shooting.
Oh well – I guess libidiot hypocritical a-holes are just gonna be libidiot hypocritical a-holes, come hell or high water. It’s apparently just their nature.

Only demonrats/libtards/proggies get to politicize traumatic events because SHUT UP !!!
And the libs are demanding more gun control after this truck attack.
If by “gun control”, you mean more range time for the officers that shot this jihadi jagoff in the arse, I’m all in favor!
No, they are wanting more “truck” control and a refusal to rent to any conservatives LOL
Having the right to speak your mind doesn’t mean you have the right to do so.
While you’re sorting that out….
They need to have a ban on Home Depot rental trucks. The trucks are the problem, not the people renting them.
Gun laws ≠ Immigration laws
So now the left is caterwauling that POTUS is trying to politicize the terrorist act the other day. Certain conservatives, I hear anyway, are saying that “we should not politicize this because we admonish the left when they do.” Well to that I say. . .
A gun on a shelf will not kill anyone. Even a big black scary gun that takes one of those clip things won’t hurt anyone if not touched by a bad human being with evil intent. There are already laws against killing and everyone who uses a gun to kill is breaking those laws. More laws for them to ignore won’t keep bad people from doing bad things. Speaking of bad human beings with evil intent. . .
Immigration policy is our (the US) set of rules to try to keep from adding more evil people with evil intent from entering the country. When there are rules that increase the likelihood of bad people getting in (like those cosponsored by Schumer and Kennedy) we need to change the law. Also, when there is an example of someone coming in through that law who does exactly the kind of thing that we are talking about, it is not wrong to mention it. As a matter of fact, it would seem to me to be the smart and responsible thing to do.
Bump stocks never killed anyone.
The person behind it did.
Nuff said.
Sooner or later the sun shines on a sleeping dogs ass.
Chuck-you Schumer help let this ass nugget in, he is partly to blame.
Upchuck , pelooser and the rest of the animated warts on the ass of humanity intend only one thing, millions more people registered as DUMOCRAPS! wake up people….for anyone that votes for them, look in the mirror and you will see the problem!!
Well, simply put, some of these guys would rather the terrorists have the ability to kill Americans, as long as they are able to politically thwart the POTUS and any of his proposed policies.
IMHO, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, is afraid someone will notice that he has aided and abetted terrorists in the US of A, and so screams “squirrel” at POTUS.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY: you are a liar, a fraud, a hypocrite, an enemy of the Unites States of America, an embarrassment to the Senate of the United States, and ought to be whipped with a hickory switch on your bare butt until you learn some sense.
Bravo…you got that exactly right Graybeard!
Simple solution. Let this fucktard out on bail (because it’s going to take a long time before this skid mark in the skivvie drawers of life goes on trial). On the condition that he spends all of his pre-trial time in the home of the judges who ruled against President Trump’s immigration EO. Each judge gets him for a minimum of 6 weeks. In home. With an electronic ankle monitor.
I could live with that.
“Politicians and diapers need to be changed often and for the same reason.” – Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
A military commission would not fit well with Mr. Trump’s recent comments that he should receive the death penalty.
The Military Commissions Act of 2009 has a section on “unlawful influence” (very similar to unlawful command influence)…and hearing the commander-in-chief say that he wanted the death penalty would create the wrong appearance entirely for a military trial.
According to the story I linked, Mr. Trump prefers not to have a military trial anyway because the process has been so slow.
I’m sure that the President has some very competent legal advisors who have told him that he shouldn’t be making public comments about pending criminal cases. Some clients just won’t listen.
You may well have nailed it.
The other possibility…since Trump coupled his statements with a walk-back on using GTMO commissions…is that he listened to the advice and calculated like this:
“If I do a war court, I can’t talk about it. If I don’t do a war court, I can talk. It’s more important to me to be able to talk, than to use a war court…and those damn things are so slow anyway, to hell with them.”
Trump’s got some pretty strong public communication skills…as witness his winning an election practically no one thought he could…so he may be right.
P.S. – I hope Mr. Trump at least keeps the talk minimal on the Bergdahl sentence (whatever it may be) until after it is confirmed by the convening authority.
Well, he could say……”I will furnish the ammo for the firing squad”! lol
A #1 Asshole of New York during his press conference about an Islamist that used truck to run people over brought up gun control and went full ass mode. Liberalism is a mental illness.
Chucky and the D’s jumped all over Politicizing every single shooting before the bodies are even cold. Remember the Carpetbagger Governor in Virginia?
How about the fucktards in Connecticut, California?
How about all of them, in the immediate aftermath of the Vegas shooter; and laying blame on the GOP and NRA?
Screw Schumer … nay he go to the Hot Place, very soon.
These stupid demonrat #libidiots have been using the same old schtick for my entire lifetime.
I swear, Teddy the Ladies Swim Team Coach used this crap shortly after he got tossed out of the POTUS race for his behavior.
They use this, Republicans want to tax poor people and eat their children on special holiday weekends, throw Grandma off the cliffs and want to pollute the air.
When are they going to get sick of saying this shit ???
I am damn sure sick of listening to it…
God, I can’t believe people actually listen to it and believe it.
I guess the old saying from PT Barnum saying that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people still rings true, now, more than ever what with the dumbing down of the country by way of importing all these stupid fucks from other countries…
