So Graham is willingly going into the Vortex of Destruction, for no apparent reason. A lot of help the orange shit-gibbon is going to be in 2022 when he’s up to his non-orange raccoon-like eyeballs in legal and financial troubles. ---

He is going to reason with Trump. If Trump _ **could** _ be reasoned with, he would have been re-elected. ---

YES! The word “reason.” 🏆 That word does not belong in any sentence with either of those two idiots. ---

I notice that the media sources often use the metaphor that Graham / McCarthy / [other scared Republicans] are going to Mar-a-Lago to “kiss the ring”. I think that it’s not a ring that is being kissed. ---

They all spent years telling themselves that the runaway boulder would stop by itself if they just let it pick up a little more speed. Now that Republicanville is directly in its path…they still think that’s a good plan. Morons. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > They all spent years telling themselves that the runaway boulder would stop by itself if they just let it pick up a little more speed. I’m not sure that’s it. I think that they thought that if they threw enough minorities, immigrants, LGBTQ, and liberals in front of it, that would stop it. Now they are throwing their own party under it, in a desperate attempt to keep it from interfering with their vacation plans to Cancun. ---
