Like many Americans, I mourn the sudden passing of Lindsey Graham. I had hoped he would live long enough to be tried for treason.
Let me define my terms. A true traitor collaborates with the enemy despite knowing better. For that reason, someone like Sen. Tommy Tuberville could never be considered a traitor, because he knows nothing.
And then theres Lindsey.

Theres only one way to make America great again, he said. Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.
Snap! But Lindsey was just warming up. Hed go on to call Trump crazy, a jackass, and a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot who shouldnt be commander-in-chief.
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed, he said, and we will deserve it. Why was he so sure that Trump would lose? Donald Trump is the most unelectable Republican Ive seen in my lifetime, he said.
As for Trumps mental health, Lindsey offered this succinct diagnosis: I think hes a kook. I think hes crazy.
Just one year later, when the crazy xenophobic jackass was chain-slurping Diet Cokes in the Oval Office, Graham decided to revise that assessment somewhat.
What concerns me about the American press is this endless, endless attempt to label the guy as some kind of kook not fit to be president, he told CNN.
This sort of flip-flop worked so much better before the invention of Google. But Lindsey seemed to hope that by piling praise on the man he once wished would go to hell, wed forget about all that mean stuff hed said before. By 2018, Graham was bizarrely claiming that Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and then some.
