Did any of you commenters read past the headline? He's saying we should have stood up to Hitler sooner, but instead ended up forced to make the costly, brutal D-Day landings. He is advocating for us to stand up to Putin sooner.

This is how dog whistles used to be done. He can send a message to neo-nazis while having plausible deniability with further context. He's able to both condemn and support D-Day at once.

Lindsey fucking Graham gets no leeway from me

I read his comments, and it sounds like he's advocating for appeasement. Which is much worse than a gaffe.

Unless he is standing up to Trump and that faction of his own party, it doesn't really matter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Easy there, Lindsay. You're speaking out against Trump's boss. Trump and his supporters won't like that.

I feel like if Lindsey Graham was to be struck in the face pudding would come out of his ears and nose. Just the impression I get from hearing him over the years and observing his big, sloppy pudding-head lolling around on his body.

How's that for political commentary?

I’m too high for this

Yes Mr. Chamberlain, maybe we should take steps to prevent a fascist dictator from invading eastern Europe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

He really is such a sniveling weasel.

If Graham was inflatable if you poked him his thin skin would break and it'd be all fart noises. He is a shit person.

Probably that dude: "The D-Fay defence was a failure, the reinforcements were too far away and so many brave warriors were lost to raiders on small sea boats."
