  2. That’s actually a very revealing look into this guys world. He just admitted he is an unhappy person

  3. Leave it to a republican to deny things they can’t understand or can’t feel or know if they agree it will be politically bad for them. Image saying joy doesn’t exist because you are afraid of the political fall out. Sucks to be Lindsey.

    “Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.”

    ― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

  4. They feed on the dread they cultivate in people. That’s been their main goal the past nine years with this Trump filth. That’s why the positivity behind the Harris/Walz ticket bothers them so much.

  5. Thoughts and prayers Lindsey, thoughts and prayers.

  7. For four days last week I was super joyful. This is typical MAGA. Everything is burning down. Everyone is being raped and murdered in our cities. Illegal Immigrants are parachuting into factories and stealing all the jobs. WWIII. Civil War. China. Dead whales and birds from windmills. We might as well all give up and just not vote.

  8. I hope he finds peace. Ive been there Lindsey. I had to come to terms with a lot of mistakes and guilt before I felt joy again. I wonder if he has something he feels guilty for?

  11. I mean sure for a gay man that hates themselves this much.

  12. For once, I fully believe him. I complete believe Lindsey Graham has no joy in his world

  14. It does exist outside of the MAGA world, Lindsey. You get back what you put out in the world

    If you sow fear, anger and hate then that is what you get.

  15. “Is Lindsey Graham an emotional Vampire? Find out at 11!”

  17. This is the guiding principle behind Republican economic policy for over 40 years.

  18. I just happened to hear his fear mongering on CNN earlier. He hasn’t got the memo yet. We ain’t going back.

  20. Psychopaths rarely if ever experience joy. Just thought I’d mention that.

  21. Bullshit. We had an Alien movies marathon yesterday, and it was awesome. Find something that makes you happy Lindsay…it’s probably dudes, and no sane person would hold it against you.

  23. Too bad Lindsey’s life is so depressing. Seems he made some bad choices.

  24. It’s clearly time he stepped outside of the Republican party.

    Yes, there’s a lot of unfairness and misery in the world, but joy is never that far away.

    He just needs to rip off those conservative misery goggles and take a fresh look around him.

  26. MAGA in a nutshell, a joyless group full of hate, violence, and fear of anything or anyone who opposes their extreme fascist worldview.

  27. >To bolster his claim, Graham pointed to the gas prices, the state of the border, and inflation during Donald Trump’s presidency when “the world was not on fire.”

    WTF, Lindsey, it sure felt like it was when those refrigerator trucks were being used as morgues down at the hospital. I guess 2020 just never happened in the Republican universe, or got deleted down their memory hole.

  29. “Well, I didn’t see what you saw,” Graham told Tapper with a laugh. “If you’re a Republican, you saw a hate fest. You saw a hate fest full of insults.”

    Projecting. Deflecting. Republicans have this down to a fine art.

  33. And that, my friends, perfectly encapsulates the tenor of the modern era GOP.

  34. As a transwoman who transitioned later in life, we are going to find a lot of unhappy, closeted, people behind the current hysteria.

    It’s a flaw in humanity that some of us can look at someone think “oh I want to do what they did”, or “good for them, look how happy they are” While so many others think “if I am miserable, then everyone has to be miserable too.”

    Thing is it can be overcome with self reflection and a little therapy, counseling, or just better friends. You have to want it though.

  35. Another sickening interview in which Lindsey Graham is allowed to spew lies and historical revisionism with zero push back from Jake Tapper.

    Every MAGA including Graham just repeats lies about the economy under Trump or foreign relations under Trump and they just nod or even reinforce them. It’s “total exoneration”, “no collusion”, “rigged election” times a million. Everything they say is untrue, yet media lets it go.

    Jake Tapper’s obsequious nodding as Graham fraudulently claims Trump has better and more developed “policies” was followed not by Tapper pushing back and pointing out the factual reality of how chaotic and maniacal the whole Trump administration was, or how the only low gas prices came when Trump had homicially butchered the pandemic response, but by Tapper seemingly legitimizing Graham’s lies by saying “It *is* Trump’s election to lose.”

    CNN is still the only place for round the clock factual news stories. But it’s sure tainted with crap like MAGA friendly “both sides” Tapper and slavish platforming of Trump and his accomplices.
