What's with Graham on the Abortion bill?

He's bucking what seems to be the established Republican strategy for the midterms for sure, and the Dem/pro choice crowd will surely jump on "this is what they really want" and the States Rights/legal crap is BS, which seems like an awfully big gamble for a guy whose term is not up.

Does he really think this is the magic the Republicans need for the midterms, or is he, in this case, staying "relevant" for the 2024 Presidential campaign?

I tend to think the latter, personally.

Graham has no significant other, and no children. He has no business even talking about a woman's body or her choices regarding her body.

Lindsey is nothing but a weak man who is a moral coward.

@WalksWith But he, like the rest of them, just love freedom, huh? What they don't say out loud is that it needs to be the right kind of freedom. And women controlling their own lives? Guess that's the bad freedom.

Huh? is right. I can't with these people anymore. I was looking around this sight and peeked in to what the cultists fans of the mangled tangerine pit, TOTUS "Traitor Of The US" , were saying, other than it's all the same talking points, (they have nothing original, just regurgitation of what Everybody' is saying). The post I read...sigh...I just can't anymore. Personally I have no respect for anything they have to say.

@WalksWith right on👍👍

@WalksWith It's bizarre to watch and know how the manipulation takes place and then see it regurgitated back in real time. They're living in world's that don't really exist and I think it speaks to something that has far less to do with Trump than what motivates people to give themselves over to a person or a manufactured concept. I used to ask myself how people could be manipulated to the place of joining a cult or even something like becoming a Nazi. Now I know.

@Ynotisay phenomenal thing, and I have seen this in action but some right wing politicians have lied for so long they believe their own lies.

Kelly Anne Conway: "Don't believe what you see and hear, we're doing alternate facts."

They listen real good. Obedient things they are.

You can't reason with them, there is no compromise with them. They are who they are, simple, lazy, and bored.

@BackyardShaman

You're dang right, they believe their own lies, you almost have when you are encouraging others to fight you battles.
