Trump is throwing his tantrum, Lindsey Graham is throwing his.

"Radical left?"
Graham is so full of shit his eyes are turning brown.

Lindsey Graham has white hot meltdown over border wall: ‘We’re not going to give in to the radical left — ever!’

Sen. Lindsey Graham became irate on Sunday when CBS host Margaret Brennan asked him if the Republicans were willing to pass a clean bill to fund the government without setting aside new money for a wall on the Mexico border.

Graham told Brennan that after speaking to President Donald Trump over the weekend, “it was pretty clear to me that we’re never going to have a deal unless we get a wall as part of it.”

“We’re having to negotiate with people who want to abolish [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)], not support ICE,” Graham insisted. “Having to negotiate with people who see border patrol agents gassing children. We’re negotiating with people who give us one dollar for wall even though it’s immoral and accuse all of us who support a wall as part of border security as racist.”

“As long as radical left is in charge we’re never going to get anywhere,” he continued. “The president will compromise, though he will not capitulate, that’s where we’re at.”

Lindsey Graham cannot stoop any lower than he has already, even with puckered lips.

Lindsey needs to bake more bread. He needs to tie his apron on and spend time in the kitchen. Smell that yeast working on the dough? Yum.. Come on, Lindsey. Do something useful!

any of those "ist" words all come back to the dreaded communist.

Hell, they'll even string them together when they get a chance, ala, "hippie, pacifist, leftist, socialist, marxist, communist, elitist", you're one of those people that wants all that free stuff."

It doesn't really matter to them what any of those terms mean, nope, it doesn't matter.

Although I'm not sure if many Trumpers know who Marx and Lenin were. Maybe the epithet "Commie-Pinko" will be used instead.

Implied: Jump told me to jump; and now you get to see how high I (Graham) was told to jump.

If the complaint is our side SAW them do this, then the issue is either:
Your people aren't living in reality and/OR,
Maybe BP shouldn't be doing that kind of thing.

No wall. Fuck off, and have a nice day Lindsey
