Lindsey considers himself to be a secret agent, working to push his target in the direction he wants them to go.
He voted for the infrastructure package and was friendly with McCain and Biden. He’s a sane, moderate, centrist who is willing to brown nose and stroke egos to get what he wants. But, none of that stops him from doing the right thing every once in a while - including flushing some blowhard whose realm he successfully infiltrated down the toilet.
I am curious what he did.
He may consider himself a secret agent, but I consider him a remora that follows the biggest shark it can, hoping to get some of its scraps.
He reminds me of this scene:
Londo: Do you know why I am here? I’m here to grovel before your wonderful Earth Alliance, in hopes of attaching ourselves to your destiny, like… what are those fish called on your planet that attach themselves to sharks?"
Garibaldi: Remoras.
Londo: You make very good sharks, Mr. Garibaldi. We were pretty good sharks ourselves, once – but somehow, along the way, we forgot how to bite.
Yes, but surely all that has been known for some time. What did Lindsey Graham do recently that necessitated a Special Emergency podcast?
He came up for air?
See? Guns don’t kill people. Bullets kill people.
It could be that he existed at a time when MTG needed to roast someone for her own visibility’s sake.
We’ll know something nefarious is afoot if people start throwing themselves backwards onto salad forks.
I can’t help but wonder if it is related to the upcoming January 6 hearings.
He mentioned he would be open to voting on gun legislation.
Any cartoonists here? I have a vision of MTG, depicted with the Frankenstein’s monster bolts coming out of her neck, attacking an elephant.
I do not understand this reference?
The Proud Boys (and several other alt-right groups) have a set of strange beliefs (you know…beyond the white nationalism and misogyny and such), including the idea they should not masturbate or watch pornography. This will theoretically force them to go out and meet women, rather than hole up at home on the internet being literal jerkoffs. There are doubts, among the less credulous out there, about how successful they actually are in enforcing such behavior.
Huh 
. First I’ve run across that strange little tidbit. They really are more cult-like than usual.
But that is both deeply, profoundly stupid and weirdly insightful of them all at the same time.
Now I want to see a Seinfeld parody featuring the Proud Boys.
“I’m out!”
I think the real intention (not to be mentioned aloud) is to keep them horny, frustrated, angry, and violence-prone.
Well, of course.
Just like their stated intention that they aren’t violent racists, they’re just looking out for poor, beleaguered white men may not actually be totally accurate either.
He came out….in support of Biden’s gun control initiatives.
That always amuses me. The well-known communist Joe Biden.
