Lindsey Graham is feeling his oats.
Openly cheering the murder of several dozen religious leaders does not suggest much critical thought.
It's just like Elijah and the 450 prophets of Baal. The Old Testament would approve and probably Paul as well. That's why they call themselves Christian.
They can certainly justify all they want. One thing is almost certain and that is when people see their religious identity under attack they tend to galvanize around resistance.It's just like Elijah and the 450 prophets of Baal. The Old Testament would approve and probably Paul as well. That's why they call themselves Christian.

A fair point. But, (a) was he always an ass-clown who masqueraded as progressive until got elected to the Senate or (b) did a stroke convert him into an ass-clown and he was a reasonable but unorthodox progressive before the stroke? As I am somewhat familiar with Braddock, PA--via the USSteel Edgar Thompson continuous casting plant--I am hoping for (b). But regardless of how Fetterman got to where he is, he needs to leave office and seek help.

I lean masquerade. But I'm a cynic who believes the worst about everyone. People suck.

Fetterman won’t wear a suit to the state of the union, but will when Netanyahu is giving a speech.

“The equilibrium or balance, so to speak, between his intellectual faculties and animal propensities, seems to have been destroyed. He is fitful, irreverent, indulging at times in the grossest profanity (which was not previously his custom), manifesting but little deference for his fellows, impatient of restraint or advice when it conflicts with his desires, at times pertinaciously obstinate, yet capricious and vacillating, devising many plans of future operations, which are no sooner arranged than they are abandoned in turn for others appearing more feasible. A child in his intellectual capacity and manifestations, he has the animal passions of a strong man. Previous to his injury, although untrained in the schools, he possessed a well-balanced mind, and was looked upon by those who knew him as a shrewd, smart business man, very energetic and persistent in executing all his plans of operation. In this regard his mind was radically changed, so decidedly that his friends and acquaintances said he was "no longer Gage."
