Senator Lindsey Graham (U-DC) appears for his scheduled pontificating pantomime with Maria Bartiromo. Right-wing Graham is outraged, shocked and verklempt at the policies being advanced by the left-wing of the UniParty bird.
Graham walks through the legislative constructs that are destroying our constitutional republic and then promises if the flag atop the Senate spire is changed, all will be better. Graham is what Native Americans aptly described as “forked tongue”.

Understanding the DC game of Chaff and Countermeasures…. A “Countermeasure” is a measure or action taken to counter or offset a preceding one.
Politically speaking, the deployment of countermeasures is a well-used tactic by professional politicians in Washington DC to counter incoming public inquiry and protect themselves from anger expressed by the electorate. The UniParty leadership are very skilled in the deployment of “chaff” (outrage), and “countermeasures” (the distraction).
Weaponized government takes action and creates victims. Beyond the outcome – the countermeasures are politicians assigned a role to control the incoming righteous inquiry from voters who find out about the weaponized or corrupt governmental action. It looks like this:
1.) The electorate become aware of a political issue or action; often illegal.
2.) The electorate become angry.
3.) The DC system (UniParty) needs to protect itself.
4.) Countermeasures are assigned and deployed to delay, obfuscate and create the illusion of investigation of the illegal governmental action.
5.) The electorate watch.
6.) The investigation goes nowhere.
7.) There is no accountability or even change.
… The Countermeasure deployment was successful. Repeat.
Look familiar?
The DC countermeasures are deployed to act as shiny distractions keeping the larger electorate satisfied something is being done. Countermeasures are designed to create investigations that go nowhere.
The goal is not resolution or justice; the goal is to deflect, create distraction and eventually dilute/diminish the outrage over time. Keep kicking the can until it rusts and simply falls apart.
Nothing to see here. Move along, move along now folks.
The political system in Washington DC has become so massive it is now capable of protecting itself. Any attempt to reduce the influence, scope or size of the system is considered a risk. The system is, in essence, protecting itself. Deep State is self-aware.
Political countermeasures are now deployed as human articles of self-preservation.
It is not a sense of boundless hypocrisy that drives them to showcase their disconnect, the disconnect is purposefully part of the ideological advancement of their goal.
The question “do the elites care if we know” is accurately answered by “they want people to know.” The outlook that elites are hypocritical is the wrong nuance to what is visible. Their openness about their untouchable constructs is part of their purpose.
“Elitism” in its most raw and brutal display is a system of people who are beyond reproach according to their own outlook. They must not be questioned; they are in ultimate control of society, outcomes or (fill_in_the_blank) as an extension of their self-proclaimed magnanimity. Essentially they are projecting their position inside a club and all those not in the club are outsiders who do not get to provide input or judgement on the club rules.
This might sound like a DUH statement from the literal definition of “elitism”; however, it must be accepted this outlook is one of consumption, not determination. They believe they represent the ‘greater good’ and by extension control moral authority. Thus, within their mind, they are above reproach. The visible outcome is they operate outside the systems they push upon others who are not in the club.
Elites do not have to wear masks (Pelosi hair salon); or elites do not have to abide by group and social distance rules (Newsom at restaurant party); or elites do not have to concern themselves for carbon emissions (Kerry private airline travel); or elites do not have to worry about the justice system (Clinton emails, Comey FBI lies), etc.
This is NOT hypocrisy, this is a fundamental part of creating a classist society.
Those within the club, in this example the DC club, want those outside the club to accept there are two systems of rights and responsibilities. The club members have all powerful rights and no responsibilities for consequences; the non club members have lesser rights and full responsibility for consequences. This is the cornerstone of a tiered or classist society outlook.
“Rules for thee and not for me” is more than a catch phrase; it is an actual worldview with a history in political control. They are not hypocrites, they are living out their creed.
The outlook gained popularity going all the way back to the formation of the Fabian Socialist society. You might remember George Bernard Shaw saying “at a certain point those [outside the club] will have to justify their existence.” Shaw was advocating for a genetic cleansing of those undeserving people who take more from society more than they provide in value.
This Fabian Socialist outlook is the most extreme form of “elitism”, the actual extermination of undesirables, but it is essentially along the same continuum as believing their are two sets of rules depending on your place in the hierarchy of society.
This outlook has been modernized to include the latest industry of Big Tech. Those who control technocracy have merged with those who control the politics of society. The outcome is elites deciding which voices are allowed to participate in the national conversation, and which voices must be ostracized because they are not compliant to the elitist worldview.
It is critical, actually beyond critical, that people start to accept what they are witnessing is not some misplaced system created by bad actors. Those bad actors are actually elites who benefit from numbing society to the sheer audacity of their ideology.
Those who understand big picture dynamics are still comfortable sticking their heads in the sand about “motive”. Most people are still clinging to actual beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to National Leadership.
You’d better change that thinking quickly – or you’ll be asking ‘what happened’ far too late.
There seems to be a willful blindness on the part of the American people, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unConstititional behaviors, actions and outcomes we are being served on a daily basis.
It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of “I can’t see what’s happening” because a whole lot of normal Americans really are clean and articulate.
“I can’t see it” just doesn’t cut it.
NONSENSE! Most people can see it. Most are just choosing to reconcile the irreconcilable because it is more comforting to ignore the truth of it. Just be honest, for many people avoidance has become a survival mechanism.
It’s more along the lines of “I see what’s happening, but it’s scary and complicated and confusing, and if I admit that I see it, I will become responsible in a way that I am not if I keep pretending I can’t see it or hear it or maybe I don’t understand it.”
Act or be acted upon.
Miss LIndsey looking powdered, perfumed and botoxed ready once more for another performance under the “stage lights”. Its what Miss Lindsey lives for, the script is memorized and executed with perfect feigned outrage–What an actor Miss LIndsey is! After the thrill and rush , Miss Lindsey looks forward to tonight’s Georgetown Cocktail circuit for the craved applause from her fellow D.C. actors.
Lady Graham does love the klieg lights.
Can’t say she didn’t turn my head as a “youngerish” conservative.
I had high hopes, albeit fleeting, for Lindsay after McStain was expired.
Every time I think about returning to Fox News a guest like this just reinforces my original decision to turn them off and keep them off.
If they are serious about returning to ratings dominance they need to keep a “do not invite” list and put Lyndsey Graham at the top of it. (I could not even bring myself to click on the video link above.)
I didn’t watch the clip either. It’s just another rerun.
Faux news is as dead as the GOP. Forever tainted with cowardice and the reek of Evil.
Forever tainted sums that up very well.
Have not watched Fox, since election night. They have demonstrated they are part of the fake news narrative. The main stream is doing everything they can to spoon feed crap to us, we know better.
What does this say about Maria, the host who provides him the platform for another performance?
Controlled opposition, supposition, composition, distribution. I am seeing her platform more clearly everyday.
Not to mention Sean Vannity who has him on Every. Other. Night.
At least as ranking member we don’t have to hear him tell us to “stay tuned” anymore.
Ramones Maria Bartiromo
Like it! Maria Bar-t-i-romooo…
Absolutely ! Ramones ! ?
Now I wanna be sedated.
“This Fabian Socialist outlook is the most extreme form of “elitism”, the actual extermination of undesirables, …”
Margaret Sanger was a Fabian and founded Planned Parenthood. It is funded by the U.S. Government.
“Graham is what Native Americans aptly described as “forked tongue”. Who can argue with that… US that’s who….
Looks like an anus.
I listened to a couple of minutes of this. Ridiculous. Frankly, the only Republican I listen to is Rep. Marjorie Green.
We need more of a calling out like this, but for all of the DC swamp critters.
I still remember that one.
… how good it felt watching this!
It amazes me how these creeps always manage to have full police protection wherever they go.

Please don’t call out for more of this, the women who badgered Mitt Romney was placed on a “do not fly” list and is now classified as a terrorist.
I do support freedom of speech for all people, however that does not absolve one of the consequences of that speech.
In my opinion there is a line somewhere between speaking your mind and harassment, threats, etc.
I feel that being unnecessarily polite will not go very far with gaining some sort of acknowledgement from those who would treat you contemptuously and ignore you otherwise.
Merely my $.02.
Free speech is just BS these days. The truth is censored and lies are allowed to flourish. The only speech that has , or even should have legal consequences is libel or slander and valid threats of physical violence. Harassment with the truth is not harassment.
Thank you for completing my line of thought.
You are exactly right.
Were you not just on the Presidential thread, making a comment about the postings being down. And here you are lecturing someone, yes were supposed to shut our mouths, please go lecture some where else.
Graham has the Biden bald spot too.
The “Elites” are not untouchable . They cannot survive without serfs doing things for them. Deny them comfort. Refuse service to them. Isolate them publicly, financially, and materially. Dont feed Lucifers children.
Graham and has always been the worst of the worst..
Not forked tongues, he has to have TWO mouths..one speaks truth the other lies all the time.
Yada, yada, yada…sit down Lindsey. Your outrage is incincere.
Sorry Lindsey, you are amongst the red pill MAGA crowd , your mind tricks don’t work on us anymore.
Got a question filled letter from the RNC wanting to know what I thought of this and that. As my response the letter was just loaded into the Recycling Truck this AM.
And they wanted buck too.
Thanks to him and the Republican Party leadership, we have Biden installed in the White House. I will never forgive or ever forget.
Thank you Sundance for the recap of all those useless Republican initiated Kabuki Theater hearings that were nothing but exercises in hot air. I would have added in Cruz and the recent worthless Big Tech hearings that went nowhere as well. I thank the Treehouse for opening my eyes several years ago when I found the website for the first time.
99% of the hearings and public meetings on capitol hill are pure theatrics and a waste of time and money.
In addition to this. . .
“The goal is not resolution or justice; the goal is to deflect, create distraction and eventually dilute/diminish the outrage over time. Keep kicking the can until it rusts and simply falls apart.”
. . . another goal, strategy or tactic of “the swamp” is to create problems where there are none or to make small problems bigger, which then justifies the expansion of gubberment to ‘fix’ said problems whilst diminishing the Freedoms we once enjoyed and took for granted.
Methinks Senator Graham protesteth too much.
…and his goldfish impression is particularly moving today–all that air-gulping.
I am done with any Conservative News Personalities that Promote these Useless Rino Traitors !…and I Love Maria…. but this Schiff has to Stop !
If she keeps beating you up, will you still love her?
Linda got rid of President Trump and put the Bolsheviks in charge of the United States…it’s exactly what he wanted. I love the pretend outrage!
How long before “controlled opposition” Graham’s friends start the purge of the military again to return to the Obama style politicisation of the military.
History doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme.
When a Great Democracy Politicized the MilitaryJames S. Corum, American Thinker
Even without Facebook the French government still had ways to filter out their political opponents.
In their desire to remold France according to Jacobin principles, the Left Bloc decided that conservative officers had to go.
The government announced in 1901 that promotions in the army would no longer be an internal matter of the military promotion boards but would be under the purview of the War Department, run by the political ministers.
Under General André, the War Ministry initiated a secret system of surveillance and informants to collect information on the political, social, and religious background of officers.
A network of Freemasons, leftist government officials, and leftist officers send information on French officers directly to the War Ministry. A vast system of secret files was amassed, eventually amounting to files on 19,000 of the 25,000 regular officers. The War Ministry used the files to push the careers of officers known to favor the left, while adherence to Catholic practices or familial and social contacts with the old aristocracy, were enough to dead-end even the most competent officer’s career.
The effect on the troops was so predictable:
Morale plummeted when it was obvious the promotion system was rigged….
The politicization of the army in the decade prior to World War I had an enormous effect.
Many good officers left the French army as politically correct mediocrities were promoted. The officer education standards fell dramatically as applications to the elite military academies of France, which mostly consisted mainly of officer cadets from conservative and religious families, fell dramatically. In 1897 there had been 1,920 applications to École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr, France’s West Point. By 1907, however, the number of applicants was halved. In 1900, 42% of the artillery officers were graduates of the elite École Polytechnique. In 1913, only 13% of artillery officers were graduates. The average scores on the academy entrance exams also fell in proportion to the decline in applications. And not only the officer corps was demoralized, but the professional NCO Corps also abandoned the military. In 1900 72,000 NCOs had re-enlisted. In 1911 only 41,000.
And the cost was a quarter of a million men, and almost the entire nation of France.
More than a decade of politicization of the military resulted in a French army that went to war in August 1914 with appallingly poor leadership and training.
The great social experiment of the Left Bloc was a bloodbath. In the first month of the war, the French army lost 250,000 casualties—20% of the field army. Faced with an existential crisis, the French government announced a truce between the left and the conservatives.
For the duration of the war, with France’s survival at stake, meritocracy would be the only standard in the French army.
Meritocracy was always going to win in the end. But it might have been German meritocracy that won.”
And the French still could not fight their way out of a box. The French Foreign Legion was of more use.
The French, like the Italians, were always more concerned about the evening’s dinner menu.
Of course the Legion is not included in that assessment.
What do you call those Red Dots many India Women have on their Foreheads ?
Lindsey Graham would look Spiffy with a Real one on his !
Lindsay’s implants are starting to deteriorate. If it keeps going, that red dot will be on his chin.
Thinking about registering Independent? Some states, Florida for one, will not allow Independents to vote in primaries. Check first. Can’t wait to primary Rubio & Scott.
You are so right.
“Act, or be acted upon.”
It has come to that point.
Graham is not worth wasting words on. He lies and lies and lies, period!
The fact that Bartiromo is still allowed to appear on Fox deserves Suspicious Cat’s “review.” The premiere Uniparty host for the premiere Uniparty guests?
FOX, in their new restructuring, gave us our token conservative.
Money Honey has always been part of the pump and dump show.
She is a chameleon of the highest order.
LindseyLu cracks me up, I think these DC dimwits truly believe no one is watching them, so they do the same routines over and over. Seriously tho, the reason I’m here is that I just watched another rock star video with dramatic music, altered voices from the most creative of editors, and it made me laugh too…..the men haven’t come out of the basement it seems, come on guys, let’s get creative and start encouraging the GOP to get off their arses and turning the entire D.C. upside down with ‘voter fraud’ interrogations and investigations—-LindseyLu always likes to puff up and make a tv appearance and he thinks that’ll do it for Republicans that are watching! Lindsey has insulted we the people too much I say. Oh, and I’ve just about had it with rock stars, their music, and their drama and their ‘please subscribe to me’ routines, stop now please.
How much of the denial is predicated upon a disbelief that it could really be happening? Prior to Trump’s presidency I never thought that the Uniparty was as big and as entrenched as it is. No more.
We’re not living in a Republic, we’re living in an sham republic ruled by the ‘Club’ –namely the oligarchs and their stooges, and sadly, it’s been that way for a long, long time.
It’s hard to waste a bad education.
Every time I see Miss Lindsay, all I do is yell at the TV. Why does Maria bother with him?
Maria is featured on Claud Schwab’s young executive group aling with Zuckerberg and a few other notables. That’s why.
It has become so obvious by now these GOPe people still can’t see that “us” deplorables are laughing at them ?????
Oh, I see Sundance’s point alright. I have seen it since GHW Bush rode Reagan’s coattails into office. Then I read his lips. I was sounding the alarm 30 years ago when all the people around me called me a kook, and a nut. Those same people now come to me exclaiming they have finally seen the light. Good for them. Glad they finally see how they have screwed us for years while they were working on their epiphany.
I kept voting “R” and giving money to those useless POS, because I, like so many others, believed the mantra that voting for the globalist “R’s” has to be better than voting my conscience, and allowing a Democrat in office.
The exact same crap we are hearing today. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Right now I am concentrating on saving as much of my businesses as I can and pigeon hole the money. Then I plan to sit back and watch these Republidicks talk, while the “progressives” run us into the ground.
Not one of these traitors listen to US. Especially, Lindsey the leacherous lout.
I am tired. I have wasted thousands of dollars and ungodly amounts of time on the Republican party, and their candidates. I saw this coming. Now it is here. Good luck. Mike Vanderboegh was spot on with his assessment on restoring a Republic.
Of course I continue to re-load and prep. Just as I have for years.
Spot on and so well stated!
The challenge for We The People, aka, peons, will be to accurately differentiate those (politicians) who pose as WTP, or are only masquerading as such, to conceal their true agenda. It can be confusing and time-consuming before WTP can expose them as the true elite they are.
Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws……..

…..and the band plays on……
Sounds like the majority of Germans did to accept the Nazis. Who said it can’t happen here. Remember Waco and Ruby Ridge?
So, Our response must be to the Congressional Districts in our home states that can be turned. ALL out effort.
Then, to EVERY LOCAL election, no matter how small…..just take them all, as quickly as possible.
If we control the States, we can control the country.
This “Deplorable Neanderthal” is not quitting yet.
In th pic above Lindsey Graham’s face looks like he a stroke.
verklempt – defines miss lindsay’s entire life, all emotion, no substance
Trust this scumbag at your own peril. He’s been a UniParty tool and Democrat “mole” since day 1.
As a South Carolinian, I’m tired of apologizing for the “gems” we’ve sent to Washington DC.
When I think of Lindsey Graham I recall that for decades s/he was John McCain’s Flunkie – whatever John McCain wanted (like funding, arming and training Al Qaeda to overthrow Syria’s Assad, thus accelerating the rise of the Islamic State) Little Lindsey was all for it.
