Why, I DO declare, y'all are telling me that LINDSEY GRAHAM was the one who convinced Trump to attack Iran?

[Miles Archer]

Speaking with Politico, Graham said, "We were thinking about this early, early on about how Iran is a spoiler for expanding the Abraham Accords and stability in the Mideast. I told him before he took office… if you can collapse this terrorist regime, that’s Berlin Wall stuff."

Graham also claims he managed to cut through the naysayers on bombing Iran and convinced the president it was the right course of action to back Israel in their campaign.

He said, "There was a real fight not to do it. Let Israel do it by itself, or just not do much. So we talked a lot about this: ‘Mr. President, you want to have your fingerprints on this. You want them to know America will fight.' He’s a hard sell, but when you sell him, he’s all in."

Graham went on to suggest a regime change would ultimately benefit the US, and that if the new Iranian government takes the same stance as ayatollah Khamenei, the military may intervene again.

"If they want to reconstitute their country, to build more nuclear weapons and more missiles to hit us, we’ll treat the new people like we did the old people," he said. "I just don’t believe it. I think they’re going to find a way to ... be a different country.

1. A guy in a tutu is directing foreign policy that threatens the entire planet?

I’m getting sick to my stomach on a daily basis lately.

2. Is there a 25th amendment for senators? Lindsey has gone as batshit crazy as Trump. All in the name of love, of course.

5. Sounds like he was wrong on all counts.

This is what happens when you don't study history. Ronald Reagan was given a gift. The old Soviet Union was collapsing. The CIA knew it and gave the intel to Ronald Reagan, who just put the timing to his benefit when he came up with the "Tear down this wall" speech.

And Graham? Really? He"s the mastermind?

Now I really wonder what he was saying in those conversations that he was so jittery about because he feared he was being wire-tapped.

6. "that's Berlin Wall stuff" - these f***ers are nuts.

They are crazy children pretending to be statesmen.

8. True, but it's a yummy hit on the crack pipe for a giant man-baby who cried about "deserving a Nobel" for months

Graham is a little weasel, a little worm, but he DOES know how to get Trump's attention with that "legacy" garbage.

11. "He's a hard sell"

Ha! If you flatter Hair Furor enough, or better still, give him some sort of made-up prize with his name on it, you can get him to do nearly anything.
