Senator Graham Has "Flight Forward" Psychotic Episode in Fox Hannity Interview, Calls For Putin Assassination-- What Triggered This? My Hot Take
Senator Lindsey Graham Loses His Sh*t In Fox Interview With Hannity, Calls For Putin's Assassination, Gives Putin Huge Propaganda Win And Justifies Claims US Wants Regime Change---
In a completely psychotic rant bespeaking new depths of moral cowardice since his embrace of his former enemy Donald Trump, Graham has greatly undermined US and European Security and unity in the face of Russia's onslaught. His statement is in gross and negligent contradistinction to the entirety of US and European cooperation in finding a way out for Ukraine without precipitating World War 3.
As far as Lindsey Graham is concerned, he has a proven track record of craven moral capitulation, and is actually believed to have undergone a degenerative character change by people who know him, who used to work with him and considered him a friend, including President Biden and Hillary Clinton. We all saw the moment he lost his soul on live TV during the Kavanaugh hearings. It was a spectacular breakdown if people remember it.
What is behind this episode on Hannity? In military jargon it's called "flight forward". When a combatant is so frightened that they disobey orders to hold their positions, and charge out of their foxhole to fight the enemy single handed. All they do is put themselves and their unit in mortal danger. So knowing this guy, I would say that it's just pure cowardice speaking, he snapped under pressure.
Now, the question is, what is he so afraid of? Is it the political disaster for the GOP of Trump's and Fox's defense of Putin? Or something a bit closer to home for little Lindsey who has, shall we say, a few entanglements with Russian finance that might be...damaging when reexamined?
If liquor stores are banning the sale of imported Russian Vodka, what might the voters do about Senators who appear to be "Made In Russia"? I'm sure there are pictures somewhere of Graham with his Russian Oligarch friends like Leonard Blavatnik, or at least the $800,000 check stub for his donations to Graham. Or worse. Put it on billboards in South Carolina, with a slogan. "Ban Russian Imports, Send Graham Home", or something like that.
This would be a very effective counter to the GOP trying to ban books. We can start a campaign to ban Republicans who are "Made In Russia". We know how to find them.. Start with the NRA donors list. Then the FEC records to see which candidates took money from Russian Oligarchs. There may be a few Dems on that list, but really this is going to be an overwhelmingly GOP list. Russian companies in Mitch McConnell's state of Kentucky? Russian donors? Ooops!
Every piece of campaign material put out by Democrats against GOP heavyweights endorsed by Trump should include photos of their opponents with a "Russian Seal of Approval" which includes a little picture of Vlad on it.
Megachurches whose Ministers like Franklin Graham who are great friends with so-called "Christian" Putin and his agents? Fair game. How about investigating CPAC after their Russian fascist promoting Nuremburg rally last week in Florida? After all, like the NRA, CPAC officials were literally "in deep" with convicted and deported Russian spy and "honeytrap" Maria Butina. Where there is a hot Russian spy, there is smoke and fire, no? Let's look at CPAC's donors list, Merrick Garland. And while we are at it, what about the $400,000 Bitcoin transfer from Europe to the "Stop The Steal" rally organizers in the week leading up to January 6th?
"What's the difference between a GOP candidates speech and Putin's talking points? That's easy, you can't see their lips moving.
The relevant point is that the GOP is, to coin a term, "chingada". They cannot take back their weeks of propaganda in defense of Putin and Russia. They are on tape! Imagine the Democratic campaign ads with all of these going out in the next year, with Trump's interview leading the way. They can spin and spin and spin like a Russian Ballerina until they bore a hole into the center of the Earth, and it won't help them. That is, if we take these developments and effectively deploy ourselves against both President Biden's enemies and Democracy's as well.
Well, Trump called it all a "witch hunt". Why don't we have a real one then?
