The topic of discussion was the arduous evacuation of Americans and others from Afghanistan. However, his appraisal was rife with fantastical visions of dire circumstances that did not exist in reality. He told his Fox Friends that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If we leave one American behind, if we don&#8217;t get all those Afghans who stepped up to the plate to help us out, then Joe Biden, in my view has committed a high crime and misdemeanor under the Constitution and should be impeached.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sen.

And he is rushing to place blame on President Biden for problems that have not, and likely will not occur.<\/p>\n<p>Never mind that it was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50421\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump&#8217;s malfeasance and incompetence<\/a><\/strong> that set the stage for what&#8217;s happening now in Afghanistan. Trump&#8217;s own Defense secretary, Mark Esper, said that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/08\/17\/politics\/mark-esper-donald-trump-taliban-afghanistan-cnntv\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump <em>&#8220;undermined&#8221;<\/em> the deal with the Taliban<\/a><\/strong>. And his national security adviser, General H.R. McMaster, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/19\/us\/politics\/trump-biden-afghan-taliban.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">derisively described Trump&#8217;s deal<\/a><\/strong> as <em>&#8220;capitulation,&#8221;<\/em> and a <em>&#8220;surrender agreement.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Graham&#8217;s sudden craving for an impeachment is another one of his partisan backflips. While he&#8217;s itching to impeach Biden without even the pretense of rational grounds, he voted against impeaching Trump for actual crimes against America &#8211; twice. And his preposterous <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LindseyGrahamSC\/status\/1347748021514153991\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">justification<\/a><\/strong> for those votes was that <em>&#8220;I firmly believe impeachment would further destroy our ability to heal and start over.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even more bizarre was Graham&#8217;s recent <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48548\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">threat to impeach Vice-President Kamala Harris<\/a><\/strong> based on an easily provable lie, saying that, <em>&#8220;I don\u2019t know how Kamala Harris doesn\u2019t get impeached if Republicans take over the House.&#8221;<\/em> Which is just another crucial reason to vote against every Republican for any office.<\/p>\n<p>Graham clearly has an impeachment fetish, but only when it concerns innocent Democrats. However, he&#8217;s happy to forgive his Dear Leader for flagrantly impeachable misconduct. What&#8217;s more, Graham is willing to betray his longtime friends in order to achieve his sinister goals.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, both of Trump&#8217;s impeachments were over his deranged obsession with destroying Joe Biden. In the first, Trump was found to have pressured the president of Ukraine to dig up nonexistent dirt on Biden. In the second, Trump incited a violent insurrection to overturn the will of the people and prevent the certification of Biden&#8217;s electoral victory.<\/p>\n<p>At this point it would safe to disregard Graham as a hyper-partisan, bootlicking, fraud, who will sell out his party, his country, and his soul for a smattering of crumbs from his messiah, Donald Trump. After all the turmoil of the Trump years, Graham still believes that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49314\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Republican Party <em>&#8220;can\u2019t grow without him.&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> And he worshipfully declared <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48710\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his desire to <em>\u201charness the magic\u201d<\/em><\/a><\/strong> of Trump\u2019s <em>\u201cmovement,\u201d<\/em> while ignoring his <em>\u201cdark side.\u201d<\/em> Which is something he could just as easily have said about Satan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
