This is a little funny, and simultaneously very sad. Folks, this is the state of legislative affairs in Washington DC, this is exactly what it was like when I was asking these types of questions. Senator Lindsey Graham is listed as one of the Republican co-sponsors for Senate Bill 686, the Restrict Act, aka the TikTok ban act.
Fox News host Jesse Waters goes through the bill on live television and then asks Senator Graham why he co-sponsors it. Lindsey Graham has no idea. {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:
This is exactly what it is like talking to republicans in the House and Senate.
Compromised Buffoon
And he Does. Not. Care.
He/she only cares about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and all the FREE ice cream this week alone. Ching,Ching,Ching,Ching.💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Thune is McConnell s chosen successor. That’s everything you need to know.
They’re all just a bunch of Fetterman’s. Just have a bunch of staffers who run the show for them while they preen for the cameras and raise money for reelection.
And eat scallops on our dime.
Scallops are just bait for their lobsters.
It’s worse than that Cynthia…. Worse than that!
Republicans sponsoring this travesty
Thune – SD
Fischer – NE
Moran – KS
Sullivan – AK
Collins – ME
Cramer – ND
Grassley (!!) – IA
Tillis – NC
Graham -SC
Capito -WV
Manchin is also a sponsor, so West Virginia’s two senators are both sellouts.
Otherwise, the usual suspects.
There it IS, first name.
“I support the one Thune,..”
If there are, in fact two competing bills, one being advanced by Thune, why would Thune sign off on the OTHER bill?
Am I the only one that suspects Lindsey will NOT come back to explain or clarify (because he can’t) and will probably never be on Waters show, again?
That really did not seem like Waters “setting Lindsey up for a “gotcha” question, as Lindsey doing it to himself.
That’s now TC, and Jessie Waters that have both exposed this disgusting tripe of a bill, to bright spotlights.
And, that’s just in the MSM, to say nothing of the rebel alliance.
Their plan to shoehorn thru a Disinformation bureau, by generating fear of time too, has blown up in their faces.
Did I mention Lindsey is the Co-chair or whatever, of the JUDICIARY committee, so legality, constitutionality, the DOJ and FBI are right in his wheelhouse, or supposed to be.
I can just see it…
Back trots Lindsey. Tells his group, “Well, guys we got caught. Thought I had ’em. Threw in a line about the Constitution,” when Waters specifically said this atrocity would not be court reviewable.
Two bills? The wool is being pulled over our eyes. Graham is a practiced liar. He’ll get his script rewritten and be back….one day…any time now…sometime soon…he said he would.
It will be like waiting for Godot.
But wait, there are even more RINO’s listed
Cosponsor Date Cosponsored
Sen. Romney, Mitt [R-UT]*03/07/2023
Sen. Crapo, Mike [R-ID]03/29/2023
Sen. Boozman, John [R-AR]03/29/2023
I wondered where Romney’s name was. There is never a bill like this without his treacherous, slimy name in there somewhere.
And it’s been that way for quite a while. I was working with a land rights group back in the early 90’s. Some of the guys went to DC to talk with the pertinent Congress people.
Came back saying the same thing. The country is run by a bunch of 30-something staffers.
Senator McCain’s staff came right out and said they couldn’t meet with McCain because they hadn’t donated enough money.
The uniparty doesn’t care that China is a threat. Our corrupt politicians are selling the American people’s land to China, they let China spy and allowed the Tic Tock app. on our devices. The communist uniparty wants to have COMPLETE CONTROL of every American.
Can’t people just take the TIKTOK app off their phone?
I was under the impression that you had to activate the app and sign up…
Sadly, we are dealing with fellow “citizens” who could not think their way out of a wet paper bag if their lives depended on them doing so. A lot of them. And add to that most of them have zero reading comprehension these days.
This is what happens when we let our “education” system become a cesspool of socialist indoctrination.
The dumbing down is incredible. I work with teenagers and one had no idea what time I was referring to when I said “noon” and another admitted she had no idea how to tell time when looking at the large clock on our store wall.
I have to wonder where are the parents in this equation?
Yeah, half past noon throws them for a loop, or it’s a quarter ‘til 3:00.
I know a lovely woman, a religious and political conservative.
She has read Tic Toc is a Chinese app with some major issues but she still has it on her phone because she enjoys the humorous dog videos.
I don’t have Tic Tock on my device, but the app is allowed on our devices from our own Government for years. CCP spys and the bigger threat is our Government spying on us.
Our unique country is being intentionally destroyed..the end is near
Did John McCain sign too?
He signed twice.
😂
Way to go, Lindsey. You just keep making S.C. proud. Why don’t we Republicans just vote you out with a better Democrat than you are and put you out of our misery.
There are no Democrats any longer. They have all turned into Communists. But you can try to find a Patriot Republican to beat him out. Hope you do.
His opponent in the last election WAS a raving CONmunist whack-a-do, intentionally put up against him, so that by comparison and limited to those two choices, Lindsey would get more ballots.
Tough to do. Open primaries in SC and there are always splitter candidates in the primary. Had 3 running against him last time.
Remember when Pelosi said about Obamacare, you must sign it so you can find out what is in it… rarely, if ever, do they read. They are signing for things that have nothing to do with the title. Just like the budgets… a small % goes to the cause
And often as not THEY are personally immune from the awful effects of such legislation, e.i. ACA .. Covid mandates…
They are as the British Crown of old, writ large!
Graham is lying, AGAIN. (on behalf of the Deep State and Big Tech like Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and all his other donors who are just licking their chops over the prospect of a lot less competition (goodbye Tik Tok, Telegram, Signal , Whatsapp …)
Gab will probably be hit too. Can’t have a parallel economy.
I suspect they’ll be looking to take a chainsaw to the Treehouse and similar blogs as well.
Theyre too full of themselves to see the reality of what they have done.
They all know exactly they are doing and have done. As Sundance has pointed out, they look upon us as serfs, not citizens.
What a freaking jackass. At least a scumbag like McConnel is somewhat good at subterfuge, this retard actually thinks we’re as dumb as he is. For $hit’s sake South Carolina put this bastard out to pasture when the time comes, please.
Can we get some recall laws PLEASE
So basically it will be used in the future to accuse literally anyone the state hates as working with the enemy and shut their life down by restricting monetary funds. There will be a lot of homelessness soon.
This bill pops into existence just as our manevolent unipartiers in the palatial marbled halls of V•O•T•P acquiesce to the WHO’$ supposed globull control of any and all nation’s sovereignty – under the utterly phony auspices of ‘beneficial health mandates’.
Him and those like him are secure in the knowledge that none of the bills they vote to pass has any effect on them whatever, so it’s understandable that they lack concern about their contents.
Here are the co-sponsors of the “we have to pass it to find out whats in it” restrict act:

Thanks for this link; have forwarded it.
Of course, both our COLO senators are on the list….
#InstalledSenators.
Thanks. The contact info is going to help contacting the Rhinos.
What I don’t understand….
If parents do not want their children on TIKTOK take the app off the phone!!
Is there no parental supervision any longer?
Parents don’t monitor their own children’s phones?
Cell phones are great for kids. Especially in an emergency.
There is NO way I would ever give my a kid a phone with more than text and data.
But…..that is just my take on it. Seems an easily resolved problem.
As for Government and TIKTOK ….social media apps on a Government phone or computer? Really?
No wonder Government is so messed up and can’t get anything done….everyone is on Social Media 🙃
Short and simple. This is not about TikTok. It’s about control.
It’s like FISA–nominally for foreigners, but really for us.
Just my not so humble opinions…
20-25 years ago, there was a big push by parents and even the tech companies to keep our kids away from harmful internet content. There were all sorts of tech programs for blocking harmful content. And parents decided what is harmful.
It was in that era, it also came to light that Bill Gates limited his children’s screen time.
At that time, we also had the infiltration of chinese students, into our institutions of higher learning, bushing our own children to the back burner…
Around 2000-2005, the big news was the more affordable computers out of China sold in Walmart or Best Buy, or other big box stores…and it was discovered that in the start up of your brand new shiny system, was spyware from China.
Essentially, that is a generation. In that time frame, we have a new set of ‘parents’ and ‘ideologies’ infesting and infecting our lives. Both locally and globally.
The “Greatest Generation” is dying off….my hypothesis is that in the Baby Boomer generation, there are two subsets…greedy/wealthy and patriotic poverty-or average hardworking people trying to make ends meet. Millennials have two subsets, too.
Congressional staffers are the new governmental ‘wokists’ infecting our country. They are bankrupting the average kitchen table type citizen.
God help us all.
Children rule the parents these days.
Good job Jesse!
Graham being put on the spot…made my day!
We need more of it from our so called media.
What a loser. As Trump would say “get em outta here”
“And don’t give him his jacket.” 🤣🤣🤣
Heck, they’re trying to put into law what they are already doing illegally.
Indeed. Merely codifying what they already do by ignoring our Constitution, civil liberties, and rights (who’s gonna stop them?)
One merely has to look at the J6 political prisoners and others in the Garland Archipelago — rotting away sans charges & trials for years, tracking down grandmas via various illegal means who happened to be in D.C. on J6 — to see that they act on the belief that “We don’t need no stinkin’ bills.”

We have an uphill battle right now.
We’re doomed.
Only if we stand by and let it happen. Hopefully if it does it will get to the SUPREME COURT
The traitor, Lindsay got caught and basically is a typical lying politician. He did the one to dance and change the subject. I didn’t know that was in there. I would say more, but I don’t wanna get in trouble.
Lindsey had cocktails before this interview.
Leave out the tails bit
I had to read it twice 🤣🤣
When President Trump declared Tik Tok a danger, crickets. Now that the Uniparty has discovered a large portion of the populace is using the internet in general to bypass their Propaganda Parrot Media it’s suddenly use the “dangerous Tik Tok” as a gateway to complete censorship and subjugation.
A pox upon them all, their spawn and their houses.
“May all their days be numbered…”
Words matter…Jesse was saying he supports it…but he should have called him out stronger than he did… “Senator, I have the bill right here…Senate Bill 686, and you are listed on this bill as a co-sponsor, please explain your co-sponsorship of this bill”
Graham is a LYING SOB
This was epic. Saw this.
Either Graham never read this crap or he was caught.
Could be both, reading retention may not be his strong suite.
He looked like a deer in the headlights.
Its Scum like this scum whos name I wont even mention thats the reason I left the Garbage Party 33 years ago.
And we thought Joe was the only one with “handlers”.
I’ll say it again, we have no government, just some mafia dons and their families, and a nebulous godfather behind a curtain somewhere.
Things are out of control
He is horrendous!
Reminds me of when they informed Feinstein that they had retired her.
Get out the sand, toss it onto the floor and start dancing, Lindsey!
Good for Jesse for exposing this fraud and his friends, RINOs are never our friends. This sounds like a Patriot Act on steroids.
Keystonekon it is the Patriot Act on steroids! It is even retroactive. so something you have posted in previous years could be used to actually put you in prison if you don’t have the “correct” attitude.
The Senate bill is insane, while the House bill is measured. They’re gonna have to really go through this bill down to the last letter when they negotiate. Lindsey knows exactly what’s in this law. He’s playing coy because he and the other uniparty clowns have been exposed.
I saw it live and it was awesome. Kudos to Jesse for that and for dressing Lindsay down about his abortion law proclamations before the election. I bet he doesn’t go on that show again.
P.S. I think he was drunk or high also, probably from poppers.
What the (excuse my French) h3ll does a Senator have to do but read “Bills”?
What the h3ll are we paying this chooch for?
It’s certainly not to represent “We the People”.
Time to Clean. House.
No surprise that Ms Lindsay has no clue.
This CTH article from 2017 tells you why.
Legislation and Lobbyists…
Politicians don’t write laws – outside groups do.
If you asked a DC Senator or House Member to actually write a law they’d look back at you like a cow just licked them on the forehead. The politician would have no clue what you are asking them to do, and would immediately look to their staff as their closest reference point (the go-betweens) for outside lobbyist assistance.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2017/11/16/legislation-and-lobbyists/
Does it really need to be said?
Peeps, come on. We all know what the game is.
.
Just keep voting Republican… it’ll get better. /super sarc
FYI, there’s NOT one CONgress person NOR Senator that writes any bill or law, it’s the LOBBYIST and attorneys that write them. This has been true since the early 1990’s. All the politicians do is PRESENT them. They’re freakin USELESS and do what the aforementioned want!!
Is Jacob Siegel Sundance’s brother? Such a comprehensive summary of all wot’s going on in Tablet magazine https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/guide-understanding-hoax-century-thirteen-ways-looking-disinformation
Looks like a good read — thanks.
Lindsey Graham is a &^&$(#.
I stopped listening at about the point when he stated, “John Thune has got a bill . . .”
That’s when a robot entered the room and began shouting, “Danger!, Will Robinson, Danger!”
This Bill has the fingerprints of the paranoid and duplicitous Obama all over it.
Something is “off” with Graham, in a creepy way.
Pod People comes to mind. This is beyond TDS.
What’s in the water in DC? Literally, in the water?
I wonder what Sugar Britches would answer when asked how much more of this sheet does he think the country will take?
Jesse Watters is not a serious person and neither is his show.
And yet, he managed to catch Lindsey in a boo-boo.
I would not watch him if I were you.
This bill is basically The Patriot Act for the internet & all electronic data, and will similarly be used to target American patriots for political imprisonment in the growing Garland Archipelago.
“My bad.”
Really?
You cosponsored this and don’t know what is in the bill?
Very bad.
Ironically AOC was right for once. Was that an accident?
What?! You expect him to read the bill he co-sponsored?! Well he would have, if there was a declaration of war in it someplace.
Why do they keep voting this FRAUD into office. What a bumbling POS. Any Republican that signs on with this needs to resign or be forced to. Let’s start letting the RHINOS know how we feel about them.
It’s RINO, not RHINO.
It’s NOT that they have anything to do with RHINOCEROSES, it’s
Republican
In
Name
Only
Get it?
No one is actually voting.
Man, that’s just bad staff work!
Unprepared for the show, and the topic.
Waters would have given Lindsey’s staff a general idea of what the topic would be, say “the RESTRICT ACT” and Linsey didn’t do his homework.
And the “ER, I support the one John Thune is pushing” was rich, too.
Lobbyists write the legislation, then they pitch it to the staffs, then the staffs tell the legislators which way to vote.
Burn it all down, salt the earth,and go out for pitchers, “who’s buying?”
The taxpayers. Always.
