Top Trump administration officials on Wednesday held two classified briefings about the airstrike last week that killed top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, and not everyone in the GOP had the same feelings about the strike. Aired on 1/9/20.

Joe: Low Moment As Lindsey Graham Accuses Sen. Lee | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Lindsey Graham is brain dead
youre triggered mate settle down
@autumn rain ROTFLMAOAY!!!! Your fairy tales don’t serve you, but they do serve me. LOL!
He’s trying to sell his credibility to raise money to buy back his integrity. As if Trump would sell the only integrity he’s ever had.
And he looks like he drinks!
Good ‘ol #FlimsyLindsey and don’t forget #BrainDeadTed
Whores to power, in a phrase. *_Lickspittle Lindsay_*. Was there every a war he wouldn’t support? It’s the only time he crossed the aisle.
@HighL0W. …..You’re good with these names!! LMAO!! How about giving us a name for Ted also?? 😂😁😂😂😭
How are they bothered by this but not by treason? #impeachedtraitor
2wheelpiracy how sad is it that you give up all your freedoms of life to live in a fantasy that only persists until the end of your human life. These politicians and you peons are wasting everything that you have ever been given in this life just to tell yourself that you’re happier in this sorry excuse for control.
@Mike Cooper Trump has nuckled under to Putin since or before his campaign.
@autumn rain y’all! Are you from a foreign country?
nope Margo lol my Country isnt foreign 😁👌 just everyone elses
Harry Callahan ok I can’t determine if you’re a Russian bot or the usual ill-informed trumpian. Once again the $150 million NEVER came from the US government it BELONGED to the Iranians it’s 1 of their assets. When sanctions were imposed on Iran they NO LONGER had ACCESS to the $150 million, once sanctions were lifted they were able to regain access to their $150 million.
You’re empowering the enemy when you allow a lying orange puppet to occupy the white house and spew lies and propaganda without being held accountable to the rule of law.
Yes.
In the 2020 map, I see democrats.
From sea to shining sea.
@Wyle E Coyote SG doubt it felon
Trump supporters are scum
The Speaker & House Democrats are the only thing standing between America & the destruction of the American system of government. @GOP is complicit in this attempt. These are the facts, and they are undisputed.
What’s undisputed is your fragile little ears. I would burn a you weak little bastsrds if I had my way.
@travis anders …GOGGLE The Names And Then CALL Every Current McConnell Controlled GOP Senator And Voice Your Concerns Regarding Their Integrity and Character At:
# 202 225 3122
Requires They Honor Their Oath Of Office: …To Preserve And Protect The Constitution of The United States Of America From ALL Enemies DOMESTIC And FOREIGN.
@travis anders what is undisputed is that those who respond in this manner should be the first on the front lines and if they are too old for that, then they should be used as test subjects in drug testing without a contractor any other out.
We the People need to stand with them. We can do our part to raise the Voice of the People by calling the offices of our reps, along with our, “reps,” to convey our stance for impeachment and removal. We make our Voice relentless by sheer number when we ask our friends and families to do the same. US Senate 202-225-3121, US House 202-224-3121. Then, we can join the ongoing work to eliminate the poison intrusion upon our elections/govt. It is the causative factor in our most difficult challenges. Civilized, civic action by the People is required. Such action does not require vast amounts of time, or even any $. We can each choose something to work on, and ask our friends and families to do the same. Overturning Citizens United, restoring properly drawn district maps, ending the widespread gerrymandering which is an un-American impediment to our votes and the Will of the People. Proper district maps make it so we can, once again, vote out of office reps who do not represent. Campaign Finance Reform. Election Reform, to restore and safeguard the Voting Rights Act and end voter suppression in all its forms. We are also the only large nation remaining that has not outlawed voting machines due to their frequent malfunctioning and ease of hacking. Turns out, hand marked, not hole punched, paper ballots are the most accurate, most tamper resistant and least costly method. Our Founders, by brilliant design, gave the People power to protect ourselves from tyranny-for all time. It is ours to pick up and use. I believe we will. The Move to Amend, Trust Vote, American Promise, Common Cause, just a few of the quality groups of everyday people we can check out/join with.
+ White Jesus True enough if our democratic republic falls it will be on the heads of U.S. senators Moscow Mitch McConnell and Lindsay the curtsy boy Graham!
The unexonerated, impeached, lying orange projector in chief is trying to distract us from his upcoming trial by starting a war with Iran.
@MajesG oh maje, sounds like your not too keen on the preservation of life, typical lefty, go abort some babies while trump tries to save them. dont forget to hand in your firearms like a good little nancy
@c dawkins Little boy go spook someone else, you most likely have no one close to you. BTW your childish disinformation campaign only works on the dumb and ignorant. Now run along little boy and collect your rubles for disinformation elsewhere.
@MajesG sad
Ayatollah Graham is ready for a straight jacket
There’s nothing “straight” about that man.
😂😂😂😂👍
Bubbles McGee just because we are against Trump actions does not mean we side with Iran. I think you know that but your little warp mind would still let you make a comment like that. Symbiotic sycophant.
N Gup…and matching pumps
😂😂😂😂
the entire Republican party is a “low moment” – if only Ike were alive today!
Low moments are higher than repub party.
Ike enabled the MIC for eight years before finally warning against it.
Just like how trump sided with putin against american intelligence?
@Dane Mart it’s not worth wasting my thumbs on you down is up, red is blue and Trump is innocent of everything got it
@Kevin stevens Yes indeed great for the wealthy the rest of us not so much. All we can do is keep fighting for what’s rite
@Dane Mart Don’t you ever forget the blood sweat & tears from immigrants our ancestors made this country. I understand why you don’t comprehend this all you & trump believe is money makes the world go round nooo people make the world go round
@Puck Fompeo I agree
Gotta love how full of 💩 Lindsey is…😷😷😷
Trumps comments in 2011, where he predicts “Obama would start a war with Iran to clinch a re-election bid”, is what all of this is about !!
@Marvin Guigar don’t mean they won’t try something and don’t forget there’s a pretty impressive axis countries bank building up right there, Russia, China, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, North Korea You’re just stupid if you can’t put the puzzle pieces together and see what’s happening. Putin has filled Trump’s head full of stupid dangerous ideas that have caused him to weaken relationships with our allies. They are all working to keep THEIR puppet in the Whitehouse. Putin is on a massive land grab mission, if we don’t get Trump out soon we better start learning out to speak Russian, cuz he has his eye on the prize, and that’s the United States of America! It’s Putin’s idea of a legacy!
@Bubbles McGee you think Iran is that stupid? You don’t know a set up when you see one? We have missle intercept weapons why weren’t any used? Trump wanted US service personal to be killed. My daughter is there, she said they never activated any defense protocols. She said it was like they wanted casualties and it’s why they sent us here. We were sitting ducks.
@Virginia Evelyn a fellow thinker! Nice to meet you! And great comment!
Empowering the enemy? We need to take some power away from the Wanna-Be-General
Empowering the enemy is what he did when he pushed a stick into the hornets nest.
@ree roo gee isn’t that ” comforting “.
You people are really mad to see Iran crumbling under the iron fist of Trump aren’t you? I disagreed with him at first too. But once I understood the totality of Trumps strategy it made a lot of sense.
Two absolute facts: Iran wants not war with the US. The US wants not war with Iran. And it is a third fact that NEITHER will initiate a full scale war.
So essentially Iran is in a position where it has no retaliatory measures of which to speak. Trump keeps strangling them financially and now they’re terrified to do anything of substance against us or our allies.
And this is proven by the impotent response from Tehran. It’s the mad man strategy. And its working.
Trump will never try to change the regime or invade. But he would blow up what little remains of their financial infrastructure if they dont comply.
Bush cried (and lied), “Weapons of Mass Destruction!” Donnie cries (and lies), “Imminent danger!” Hold on to your hats folks. It could be a bumpy ride.
Marco Rubio sold out a long time ago. Just ask Puerto Rico.
Rubio is a joke. He sold his soul to the devil
@Karen Byrd Representing?
I voted for the other guy
I’m pretty sure Graham is a master debater he has been doing some of that on Trump what bag licker despicable person!
@D L. Master debater… maybe.
Cunning linguist…never.
D L Agreed!
D L I agree, he is a masturbator! No doubt!!!! Vote blue no matter who!🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Graham mostly master debates against school boys.
A draft dodger chillin at Mar-a-largo orders a strike, how ironic.
That’s not irony–that’s parody.
It’s Disgusting!
But had to change his tune really fast when he got back to the W.H.with all those generals standing behind him. It’s like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
The amount of dirt that trump and Putin must hold over Graham in order to keep him so disgustingly obedient, would “make your head spin”!!
Todd – As the ‘olde saying’ goes…
“Is it a live teenage girl or a dead guy on the videotape they have of you, sir…?” 📼
Only Graham (and his blackmailers) know for sure. 🤔
Maybe it wasn’t Russian hookers in that Moscow hotel. Maybe it was Lindsey. 😜
Trump’s shoe polisher Linsey Graham is a disgrace.
Polished with spit. Then with his tongue.
Yes,
I call Graham a dirty rag ….
I think they are tighter than that. Like anally
Mimohamed Hussien…I’m pretty sure Lindsey polishes more than Trump’s shoes.
I think you mean KNOB polisher
Lindsey is the first one to come, As usual to rescue the Don, You’d think his very life depended on it, The way he jumps on deck too aid and abet for Trump ! 🤔
What has trump got on him?
@maodonimega I HAVE NO IDEA, TAKE SOME GUESSES ! 🤔👍🏻
Dead Canadians can’t thank you Trump, u r a danger to the World
All the blood shed is on TRUMP’S HANDS
@David Hale yeah it’s called war, we left plenty of dead in our wake too, that doesn’t mean that Iranians can come here and asscinate our military generals after the fact! State officers are not the same as terrorist!
@David Hale no the blood of Canadians and Ukrainians is on TRUMP’S HANDS, HIS FAULT, completely. Here’s a little something you don’t know. My daughter was just sent to that base with other new soldiers. She said Mom there was no effort to use missle intercepts, she said it was like the brass wanted casualties. She said those missles should never have come that close without a response and with advanced knowledge! It was INTENTIONAL TRUMP WANTED OUR SOLDIERS TO GET HIT SO HE COULD ELEVATE THE SITUATION INTO A FULL BLOWN WAR! WHO KNOWS MAYBE HE EVEN SHOT DOWN THAT PLANE, CANADIANS AND UKRAINIANS, PRETTY SUSPECT IF YOU ASK ME!
Tired of the shenanigans and Iran keeps up their nonesense and kills any American he’ll take out another one of their top officials. Not innocent people but the ones giving the orders. You think he can’t or won’t ask soleimani their top official. Oh wait you can’t he’s dead thanks to Trump.
Please get on with removing this president.
Do you ever keep up on a current affairs the impeachment it’s going to die in a sent it you really think they’re going to remove President Trump get with the program he’s not going anywhere until 2024
God help us all if that is how this chaos plays out.
Leave like you said you would three years ago. Why are you still here
