Is Lindsay Graham being blackmailed?

I mean, it's not even a secret. It's honestly pathetic at this point.

I also feel sad for him that he can't live his authentic life in the open.

I suspect Russia is blackmailing most Republican politicians at this point because they are just crazy and everyday they seem to have a new sex scandal, especially with children

There's nothing mysterious. "Supporting Israel" has been broadly popular for 70 years, particularly among Republicans. And Republicans have an instinctual and visceral distrust of the UN. Plus the UN has no credibility when it comes to Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. UNWRA in Gaza was effectively an arm of Hamas. Lindsay Graham is not losing any support because of his stance.

Seems rather bizarre that he so ardently supports the ICC when it comes to Russia and lauds it as an independent international body that must be respected, but then condemns their very existence and also threatens to economically ruin anyone that even contemplates agreeing with them when it comes to Israel. This is in spite of the fact that any rational, unbiased observer feels something isn't right with the way Israel is conducting itself these days.

Lindsey Graham is a major party national level politician and just like Biden and Trump, his election campaigns have received a noticeable portion of donations from parties with close to ties to Israel. Post after post, thread after thread I see people questioning our government's unwavering commitment to supporting Israel. It's always the same reason. As long as GOP and Dem politicians are running our government, we will continue to lean heavily in the favor of Israel with our Middle East foreign policy. I'm baffled by those that vote for Dem and GOP candidates and then question the US's loyalty to Israel. It's all about money, folks.

It's also about Iran. Basically the US is predisposed to back Israel as a foothold in the US from which they can advance US interests in the region (and also collect intel and sometimes use Israel to do or say things the US can't do or say without being accused of meddling. But yes then the massive Israel lobby in the US spends tons of money to keep US politicians from both parties in their pocket.

What's interesting is that Trump is not as influenced by either force -- he's less worried about Iran (because he is stupid) and he's not as susceptible to the Israel lobby because he has other funding sources. Yet he remains hugely pro-Israel. I guess for him it's about being anti-Arab? Or maybe just real affection for Netanyahu who is his spiritual twin (though Bibi is sadly much smarter).

Worst-kept secret in DC, if that's what you're referring to.

How is it a worst kept secret if it's alluded to on every forum and social media for years on end but literally nobody has presented any proof? If you're alleging he's got a thing for twinks or muscular bucks or whatever, where's the proof? I've seen zero evidence --- ever. It seems more plausible he's just an a-sexual shut in weirdo.

Yeah, and I think Mike Lee is too.

Yes. He was not kissing up to Trump until they played golf. Then, a 180 in how Graham talked about Trump. Graham has been a lapdog ever since.

If you go back and look at Graham’s quotes about Trump, you can see his criticisms of Trump ceased after he played golf with Trump. I suspect a threat was stated during the game.

So I don’t take Graham seriously. He’s an old man trying to cling onto his secrets.

Trump also wants to cling on—anything to avoid more court cases.

Lindsay Graham is a corrupted closeted homo... Plain and Simple.

So many dirty secrets. It’s hard to know who has the upper hand. GOP and “afraid” House Republicans have some baggage to be exploited.

Latest Lindsey lol @LindseyGrahamSC

I was excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope.

This would truly be a dark horse candidate, but I would ask the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to keep an open mind about this possibility!

The first Pope-U.S. President combination has many upsides.

Watching for white smoke.... Trump MMXXVIII!

He tweeted ecstatically that it's great Trump is "open" to being Pope and that they should elect him.
If Trump said that it is clear evidence of delusional state.
