Lindsay Graham minces no words. Firing Sessions will be the end of Trump Presidency

The only reason I take him serious on this is that he plans to introduce a bill to protect Muller.

Knowing how Trump operates however means that he'll probably fire Sessions at any moment now. Probably while he's in El Salvador like how Comey was fired when he was in California.
 
That wouldn't even be true if he fired Mueller given his cult-like base. Sessions firing would probably be a good thing, although only Trump could find someone worse than that racist piece of shit.
 
If I don't go buy skin creme from Walgreens in the next 48 hours, a random beautiful woman will come to my house and sex with me out of nowhere

There, I just said something as real and true as what Graham just said

Well he is writing legislation right now to protect Mueller. Even looking for bipartisan help so that's good.

Wait, what's this in reference to?
 
He said firing Mueller would be the end of the Trump presidency, not Sessions. He said there would be holy hell to pay if Sessions were fired.
 
The Mueller bill probably wont even be introduced, much less passed. And if it somehow magically, absurdly, does get introduced, and passed there is no way it will pass by a 2/3rds majority and it will be instantly vetoed and Trump will vehemently attack any conservative that votes for it.

So there is a 0% chance of there being anything at all to materialize.
 
lol we've had months now of people saying shit like this. it's not gonna happen. there's not going to be some magical "final straw" that finally pushes the gop to drop someone going well out of his way to court them. the only solution is getting the gop out. that's what we have to work towards.
 
To clarify, he said there would be holy hell to pay if Sessions was fired. And if he fired Mueller it could be the end of the Trump Presidency.

I still have doubts Republicans will actually do anything but that being said, the fact that they're even openly speaking like this brings a smile to my face

Optics. The republican party is by and large spineless in the face of blatant corruption (and quite heavily invested in corruption). They're just trying to look tough, but they won't do shit even as the world burns.

He is trying to push legislation that would protect Mueller, so maybe there's actually some teeth behind this claim?
 
He said if Mueller was fired, not Sessions, it would be the "the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency, unless [Mueller] did something wrong."
But he has all of those conflicts of interest!
And that supposed Trump National Golf Club membership fee dispute!

Clearly the man can't be trusted to investigate Russian influence in Hillary's campaign properly.
 
Lindsay Graham is like that co-worker we all have who's always the last to arrive, always the first to leave, and always the most enthusiastic contributor when the boss' boss attends a meeting.
 
He said if Mueller was fired, not Sessions, it would be the "the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency, unless [Mueller] did something wrong."

yeah, I don't know why this is being reported as involving Sessions? He actually baited Trump into firing Sessions

"He's trying to get Sessions to quit and I hope Sessions doesn't quit. If the president wants to fire him, fire him," Graham said. "I think anybody who's strong would use the power they have and be confident in his decision. Strong people say: ‘I've decided this man or woman can't serve me well and I'm going to act accordingly and take the consequence.' To me weakness is when you play around the edges and don't use the power you have."

The comment in the OP was about Mueller, not Sessions
 
nah fuck that cunt. i dont buy him or anything the right has to say. bunch of goblins and crooks.
 
Graham and McCain are both exactly the same; they both talk a lot about opposing their party, but when it comes time to vote they step in line regardless of what they've said. This is not even worth talking about until he actually DOES something, and I would bet that he won't.
 
lol we've had months now of people saying shit like this. it's not gonna happen. there's not going to be some magical "final straw" that finally pushes the gop to drop someone going well out of his way to court them. the only solution is getting the gop out. that's what we have to work towards.

But have we had any instances of Republicans in Congress explicitly alluding to ousting Trump? I feel like Graham just crossed that line for the first time. This is more specific than "hmmm, yes that is a tad concerning."

Also, the "there will be no confirmation hearing for a new AG in 2017." He's telling Donald Trump, straight up, "no, you can't do that." With the way Trump and Scaramucci have been behaving, I've got the feeling that dude is about to fly way off the handle in response to this.
 
i love a post that says "he minces no words" and then does exactly that. why does this always seems to happen these days. i thought the left was against fake news?

let's pull a quote from the middle of a sentence, take it out of context, and present it in a narratively convenient way. there is a solid minute of him qualifying that statement and saying "it will be the beginning of the end... unless blah blah did something wrong" so yes he minces words and OP distorts them.

and does so by saying "he minces no words"! lol icing on the cake. is all of this ironic or do u have zero self awareness?
 
I think people are confusing Graham's party loyalty with Trump loyalty. He has been trashing Trump very publicly for well over a year even when others in his party started to back him.
 
I don't think that will be the case but it sounds like she's trying to bait him.

I had been sending Tweets to Trump that Obama didn't have the balls to fire the corrupt Sessions.

I tried :p
 
Sure.

Talk is cheap

In this case he's not beating around the bush. This week is the pivot for a few folks. A little bird told me to expect something on Friday that will seal the deal for SOME politicians, but I would have considered any other oppo droppo to have done the same, yet here we are.

However, the mere fact that the dialog has switched from 'Troubling" to "end" is significant.
 
"As a human being he should show some respect for Jeff Sessions as a person" HA! Trump show another person respect? That's a good one.

Here's hoping your source is correct.

I would say also that while you can be dismissive of Graham and the lack of action, backing him up where he can see it would be a good idea as well. You can disagree with every aspect of his entire life and tell him he's supported on protecting the integrity of the Mueller investigation.

Wait, what?

Also, I do agree that the fact that the dialog has shifted to them actually acknowledging the possible end of Trump's presidency is something we shouldn't overlook.
 
Let's not get crazy here.

It's not going to be him doing "One Thing". It's going to be a massive multitude of things that take him down one way or the other.
