Watters: Women on base, you better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out.
Based on today's testimony from Jay Clayton and Todd Blanche, there's not one motherfucking Republican that is worth a shit.
Vote Blue.
Get rid of this corruption.
I see a lot of Lindsey Graham jokes, and I'm fine with that.
But I'm not fine with Lindsey Graham jokes that call him gay or "Lady" Graham.
Then you're not making fun of Graham. You're making fun of gay and trans people. So that's where I draw the line.
You might not be intending to, but that's the result.
Just throwing that out there.
TAPPER: “Iran says the Strait is closed…”
TRUMP: “Don’t talk about it.”
@jaketapper: “Ok.”
Journalism! This is tough to watch.
But hey can’t make things awkward at the White House Correspondents Dinner, right?
The level of subservience @jaketapper showed in this interview is the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen in a long time. Trump told him to not talk about the Strait of Hormuz and Jake said “ok”. The media is supposed to speak truth to power, not *obey* power. The weakness is crazy
Kentucky Republicans have tried to take away Governor Beshear’s ability to appoint Mitch McConnell’s replacement. Beshear says he’s considering ignoring the state legislature and appointing a Democrat to replace McConnell anyway.
He believes the law is unconstitutional, that Kentucky’s constitution gives him the authority, and that he’s prepared to test the GOP on it.
This is exactly how Democrats should be fighting.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
The greatest piece of political propaganda in our time was convincing millions of people that caring for others and the planet was somehow a threat to America.
