Graham to Dems: ‘You Want Power’ – ‘God, I Hope You Never Get It’
It was nearly like the OJ trial- where ever I went with media present, the embarrassing confrontation was playing. How Judge Kavanaugh kept himself in check and didn’t reach over and, never mind. One bright point stood out, however, and it came from a surprising source. The Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, used his time instead of questioning Kavanaugh, to make some very pointed comments about his perception of the hearing. This is a don’t miss.

The only thing worse then this sham of a hearing, the destruction of our military by the forces of political correctness and the liberals.
My hat is off to Senator Graham.
Gotta admit, that dressing down had me in tears. Where on earth did Graham find his balls?
Exactly what I was thinking. Sen Graham has always been a rino.
Maybe he is just a survivor, and this change is Graham in the Age of Trump.
Another point for Pres Trump?
McCain had them in a lock box. I think they were sent back to the owner.
Graham tore the donks/socialists up for their bullshit. Guess he’s had a set (and he’s able to show them now with McCain’s departure from this Earth).
“now with McCain’s departure”
Concur. And Collins is on her own.
Grahams rage is most likely campaigning for
2020 but I gotta say that was a ballsy way to open the door. No, I would not vote for him unless Hillary comes back from the grave.
…”On her own” is apt – word is that there are enough votes to confirm even if Collins backs down (Murkowski is even being reported in the ‘for’ column this morning). If the GOP holds the Senate, there needs to be a reckoning with the Republicans who voted ‘nay’.
Seemingly the most important, best-unscripted speech ever given by Graham. Perhaps a turning point from RINO to Conservative?
No doubt THE defining moment of this hearing.
S’ABOUT TIME some Republicans came out after reinstalling their spinal cords! Good start, they should have STOPPED rolling over and saying “Aw, shucks” years ago!
This has been a farce. I understand politicking but this dumpster fire has been a complete suspension of rational behavior by one party, enabled by the press.
I barely remember the Thomas hearings but it seems this will be a regular thing, Dems smashing a completely competent judges’ career to bits with the cudgel of manufactured salacious claims.
F**k you DiFi, this is all your fault, you dried up, hypocritical, evil husk of individual that I would call a woman but…
I’m certain that the Sexual Misconduct Card®™️ will be thrown by the D-rats in each and every one of President Trump’s nominations from here on out, they’ll throw it like Jackson and Sharpton throw the Race Card®™️.
Wait and see. If the backlash is sufficient from this debacle, they’ll have to come up with a new way to slander conservative nominees.
Excuse me, Roh-Dog, but that dessicated blatherskite from the 3rd Circle of Hell is NOT a member of MY sex.
There are ladies, members of the fair feminine sex,
then there are bitches who only resemble ladies in the theoretical ability to bear young.
DiFi is lower than that – but I don’t have the terminology for it.
Amen.
Senator Cotton the fake Vietnam veteran (Toys for Tots) made a good showing.
Senator Cotton is a Republican and actually did serve in the GWOT. I think you mean fake Vietnam vet Blumenthal.
indeed. Tom Cotton is the real deal
I watched this from a bar in NYC last night. When Blumenthal started talking you could probably hear the boos and “PHONY VIETNAM VET!” screams and cries from Connecticut. Guy looks like an old shriveled up cock.
Graham did South Carolina and the nation proud. He did not speak in measured tones. He didn’t pause to recall a ‘here, use-this line’ given him by a staffer. He abandoned the political fence balancing and spoke as if he meant every word because, as I see it, he meant every word. It is an instant classic, reminiscent, one can imagine, of the type of heartfelt oration that was once much more commonly delivered in the Senate, before the critters talked in sound bites and made televised speeches in an otherwise empty chamber. It was great, refreshing, and inspiring stuff.
Well, well, well.
Some time ago, I remember not the circumstances (maybe lost somewhere in the Clinton impeachment exercise?), Graham showed us what he’s got. Briefly. Then it went into hiding. We can only hope that it’s here to stay.
What the left is showing us now is pure evil. It’s been there all along but all pretense is gone. All we can do is hang on then vote in November.
Watched some of the news and seemed to stir up memories of the past. Facial expression, demeanor, clothing, hair style man seems to remind of someone else. Wasn’t there someone who was awful similar in appearance before congress a few years back, seems was to do with the death and abandonment of some men in severe consequences elsewhere, tried to replace that dog catcher from Chicago with fake Hawaiian papers. Yeah that’s her, old broads name escapes me now but will figure it out.
Blumenthal looked embalmed. A ghastly creep.
I wanted to take a shower after listening to that creepy slimey shrunken head.
The good judge handled him quite well though.
He looked like an alien – and something that could have spawned David Hogg.
My first thought yesterday when I saw Blumenthal was that his make-up artist needs to get an Oscar for making a Gorn look halfway human./smile
I was watching the hearings yesterday while I was reloading. Damn near “double charged” one of the cases when Sen. Graham went off! The man found his balls!
Found this comment on one of the blogs I was reading this morning.
“What do the Democrats and Kim Jong Un have in common?
– Neither have a Seoul.”
At least you didn’t inadvertently forgo the charge and load a squib. Sometimes underloading can be worse.
I accidentally double charged a case once. Thankfully it was a pre-war Type 99 Arisaka. I doubt the rifle noticed the extra pressure…..unlike my shoulder.
I pulled the bullets from the entire lot and started over
Yes, it usually results in a bullet stuck in the barrel. Woe be unto him who puts another round down the barrel after firing the squib charge.
But, but the ABA has just called for an FBI investigation – the saga continues!
If Trump would have nominated a woman, I wonder what the Dem playbook would have called for?
We may find out if Ginsburg does the country a favor sooner than later.
We will probably see soon enough.
They already registered the web domain STOPBARRETT.com if that gives you any idea that they are prepping…
I still think the optics of the Democrats pounding Barrett over her religion like they did for her previous appointment to the lower court plays poorly for them on national TV weeks before the midterms.
I would have advised Trump to appoint her instead of Kavanagh…and save Kavanagh for the Ginsbury dead pool seat…
Kavanagh’s mess doesn’t play out nearly as well for Republicans as Democrats picking on a religious woman…just my stupid opinion.
If Barrett is anything like the Catholic School Girls I knew, the Democrat Fems are in for a real surprise.
She won’t break a sweat taking on their obsession with abortion. In fact, I’d be surprised if they even bring it up.
Despite the posturing and sloganeering, the Search and Destroy aimed at Kavanaugh is not about Abortion.
The left won that one, decades past. Overturning that one is not likely anytime soon.
This is about something else, something more current.
Guns.
Kavanaugh has recent, forceful, and clear support for the right to keep and bear arms, and clearly would rule agains any further efforts at bans and similar nonsense.
Thus, he is an opponent of unlimited government power.
-That- is why they hate him.
After all this shitshow, he is still in the fray, and defied them to even think they might dissuade him. The man hasn’t got quit in him.
-that-is why they now must -destroy- him.
Thy cannot allow such a person to win. They have shown their hand. They have demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that no law, no constitution, no principle is permitted to oppose -power-,
-their-power.
And that will figure -prominently- in any future SCOTUS rulings, especially any from their intended victim, Kavanaugh.
They can no longer pinky-swear it is about “crime” or “reasonable” or whatever bullcrap they spew. It is about power and -rule-, the command economy requires -command-
Guns are the ultimate veto over such power. This is now laid bare for all to see. Kavanaugh on SCOTUS will -destroy- their efforts to remove this essential right.
-that- is why there is nothing they won’t do, no stoop too low, no treachery too obscene, -nothing- that won’t be tried. Because they -must-.
Only fools do not see this. Open your eyes folks. The Left mean to rule, as hard as it takes. Just wait and see their next double-down.
Well said.
Word. Word.
1st Class delivery 11B-Mailclerk. No postage due!
NancyBoy finally found a set! As to little Ms. Chrissy? Poor darling needs a competency hearing. She has departed from neuroses into psychoses.
Some dreams can be indelibly memorable. Cognizant adults generally reconcile themselves to the fact that it was only a dream, an imagination, however genuine it may have seemed during sleep.
May the Senate finally do an honorable action and appoint Judge Brett Kavanaugh to USSC.
She can be nothing BUT confused. She has been victimized by the very ideology that she has supported all along. Whoever is paying the bills told her a pack of lies. No good outcome awaits her.
The milquetoast that roared. It was a well done performance, I almost believed it. We’ll see what he actually does in the weeks and months ahead, Graham is often much ado about nothing. He was not at all measured in his response, so perhaps it’s a sea change for him based on his history I remain to be convinced.
Regarding the hearing yesterday, from my perspective it changed nothing at all except one perhaps major point. Those Republicans who were wavering now have political cover to vote against Kavanagh. Those who were voting against him will do so, those who were going to vote for him will do so…those who were undecided can now say they found Dr. Ford compelling enough to put the brakes on the nomination process and sell that to their constituents as giving a shit about women.
This was theater of farce at its best yesterday. No one on the Democrats side gives a shit about Dr. Ford, that was apparent with every word they spoke. This was a political ploy to even up the score for Garland.
Which again begs the question, why didn’t Trump choose Barrett?
From a strategy standpoint the Democrats pounding a female nominee for her religious views right before the election plays better for the votes than the image of a privileged, rich white kid who liked drinking in high school being accused of drinking a little too much and fondling someone against their will. A lot of Americans won’t like Kavanagh simply because he’s a spoiled rich kid who had every advantage and now he’s whining and crying like a child because he might not get his way.
That’s how this will play whether the Republicans like that or not….Trump won because of the class war the Dems started. He won because people believe he gives a shit about the middle class. Kavanagh doesn’t strike anyone as ever having been middle class, and consequently after yesterday’s farce there’s a chance he doesn’t get the nomination now only 45 days before the election.
The religious aspect of Barret’s nomination isn’t really as important as it may seem.
It is not going to stir the screaming hordes into flooding the streets to create destruction the way someone accused of something that may or may not have happened 35 years ago – can’t remember exactly when/where, alleged victim says – will inspire them to rampage the way they did at Trump’s inauguration.
It simply does not have the same impact on the so-called feministas crowd to discuss religious overtones on judgement vs. a dreadful man touching some drunken high school chippy long in the past. LE HORREUR!!!
Well put.
They would go after Barrett with the religious test, and the republicans wouldn’t challenge that either.
It’s a fuggin’ debacle. Politicians have made a mockery of the whole process.
Did anybody notice Diane Fineswine during Sen. Graham’s beat down of the dems? She was VERY concerned with something on the floor, body language of somebody who was 100% in the wrong and did not like being called on the BS they had pulled. Also, just what was in that envelope Sheila Jackson Lee passed to Ford’s lawyer very Sopranos like which he tucked into his pocket? Payola from Soros? What was she doing at the hearing? She delivering the payoffs in plain sight? I’m to the point right now where I’m ready to say NOTHING with a D under political affiliation will even get consideration unless I know the candidate personally.
No one with a lick of sense should ever vote for any Democrat politician again. Those in office now are really anti-American crypto-communists or their useful idiots slouching us to an outcome like that now extant in Venezuela.
Well. That is the first time I have ever seen Graham get even a little bit annoyed in public.
I wondered what it would take to get him to find some gumption. I guess he just got mad and let fly – FINALLY!!!!
He is not longer ‘on the fence” politically.
Thanks for sharing that video, AW1Ed.
Flake will vote to confirm. McCain had no comment.
McCain died a Republican.
He can now vote Democrat.
Twice.
Apparently, McCain did have a comment, but he directed it to Flake through Democrats. Cocksucker. Phukers got what they wanted, to force Trump to decide whether to recall the nomination or to direct the FBI to investigate. Phukers.
I really feel sorry for the democrats if he does get confirmed. after this crap anything that goes before him proposed by a democrat EVER will surely be voted against by him. Ironic that they are creating their own worst case scenario by going after a man who for all intents and purposes was a pretty fair and non political guy.
No, he values his oaths, unlike the DemonRats, and he will correctly apply our law, including our Constitution, to the facts and issues presented. However, like Thomas, he will never forget what they have done to him. And how anyone could “feel sorry” for that gaggle of cucks and cunts is beyond me.
I live in Michigan but I think my new favorite senator is Lindsey Graham.
I don’t have much use for RINO Graham but he found a backbone yesterday.
Well done, Sir
Graham as next AG? Not a lifetime appointment, but man, the confirmation process would be the ugliest ever – well, at least until Pres Trump has to fill Justice RBG’s seat.
First time I ever saw a USAF guy fix bayonets and make the grass grow.
Good for you Col Graham
Made for good TV, made hisself look better than he has for a good while. He is still a professional politician, who will bend with the wind and turn on a dime to keep getting elected. ALL of them need to be replaced. ALL of them have been there too long. NONE of them give a flying phuque at a rolling donut about the Country, The Taxpayer, what you and I think, or anything but getting re-elected. It is all about the power they can keep. Drain the entire swamp.
