Lindsey Graham, Nikki Haley and the Pope Enjoy a Russophobic Threesome

A Trifecta of Stupid… (originally published at Russia-Insider.com)

What do Lindsey Graham, the Pope and Nikki Haley have in common? All three excel at poisoning Mother Earth with their insufferable Russophobic bile.

Allow us to demonstrate.

Check out the fresh bird droppings from Senator Lindsay Graham, part-time Senator and full-time resident lunatic of the political asylum in Washington:

Speaking on Sunday on NBC News’ ‘Meet the Press’… (via The Hill), Graham lamented:

“When it comes to Russia I am dumbfounded, I am disappointed, and at the end of the day he’s hurting his presidency by not embracing the fact that Putin is a bad guy,”

“He is literally the only person I know of who doesn’t believe Russia attacked our election in 2016,” Graham said of Trump, who has said that “nobody really knows” whether the Russians were behind attempts to hack the 2016 presidential election.

So, there it is! Senator Graham believes Trump is “literally” the only person he knows who doesn’t believe that which has been never been proved. He is also dumbfounded and disappointed—poor little lamb.

But it wasn’t all doom and gloom from South Carolina’s moldiest peach: “He gave a really good speech in Poland… and he had what I think is a disastrous meeting with President Putin,” Graham said.

The content of the speech Trump gave in Poland that evidently warmed the Senator’s depraved heart must have been the following:

“We urge Russia to cease its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, and its support for hostile regimes — including Syria and Iran — and to instead join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and in defense of civilization itself.” – President Trump, speaking in Poland.

Now that’s the kind of ill-feeling, along with a other piles of dung, that Senator Graham appears to relish. We have only to board the time machine via the modern day marvel of the Internet to quickly understand that Senator Graham’s taste for stupidity has no limits:

“Free speech is a great idea, but we’re in a war.” via Real Clear Politics.

“We need to raise taxes to get our nation out of debt.” via Face the Nation.

“I’m going to vote with my party. I just think oil subsidies have to be part of a bigger package.” via The Political Guide

So we’re sure Lindsay clutched his pearls after he read Trump’s latest Twitter musings about Russia:

@realDonaldTrump

…We negotiated a ceasefire in parts of Syria which will save lives. Now it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia!
4:37 AM – 9 Jul 2017

Outrageous! Or to quote Lindsey Graham, “This whole idea about moving forward without punishing Russia is undermining his entire presidency”.

Moving on to the next derelict, we have the Pope himself weighing in with what is presently troubling his mind:

The Pope said that he was afraid of “very dangerous alliances among [foreign] powers that have a distorted vision of the world: America and Russia, China and North Korea, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and [Syrian President Bashar] Assad in the war in Syria.” via theHill.com

Evidently, in the Pontiff’s mind, a distorted vision of the world would be nations working together toward peace. One is left to conclude his Holiness is much more comfortable with a world where leniency is given towards pedophile priests :

As the Associated Press reported about the Pope’s leniency towards pedophile priests:

Pope Francis has quietly reduced sanctions against a handful of pedophile priests, applying his vision of a merciful church even to its worst offenders in ways that survivors of abuse and the pope’s own advisers question.

One case has come back to haunt him: An Italian priest who received the pope’s clemency was later convicted by an Italian criminal court for his sex crimes against children as young as 12. The Rev. Mauro Inzoli is now facing a second church trial after new evidence emerged against him, The Associated Press has learned.
The Inzoli case is one of several in which Francis overruled the advice of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and reduced a sentence that called for the priest to be defrocked, two canon lawyers and a church official told AP. Instead, the priests were sentenced to penalties including a lifetime of penance and prayer and removal from public ministry.

…Francis scrapped the commission’s proposed tribunal for bishops who botch abuse cases following legal objections from the congregation. The commission’s other major initiative – a guideline template to help dioceses develop policies to fight abuse and safeguard children – is gathering dust. The Vatican never sent the template to bishops’ conferences, as the commission had sought, or even linked it to its main abuse-resource website.

Yes, troubling indeed for the Pontiff that nations might want to work toward peace and a culture that supports morality and stability, protecting its citizens from the guttersnipes the pope coddles.

And finally, the empress of nuttiness, US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, chimes in with her latest dimwittedness:

“Everybody knows that Russia meddled in our elections. Everybody knows that they’re not just meddling in the United States’ election. They’re doing this across multiple continents, and they’re doing this in a way that they’re trying to cause chaos within the countries,” Haley told CNN’s State of the Union show.

Speaking about why Trump would not openly say that Russia interfered in the US’ 2016 elections, Haley, asserted that “talk is one thing, actions are another,” adding that election meddling was “the first thing” Trump talked about during his meeting with Putin and “he did it for a reason.”“He wanted him to basically look him in the eye, let him know that, ‘Yes, we know you meddled in our elections. Yes, we know you did it. Cut it out,” Haley added. ~ RT.com

So, the empty-headed clairvoyant Ms. Haley knew what Trump was thinking during the entire 2 hour and 16 minute meeting with Mr. Putin, certainly enough to discern that – with the angst a teenager cries out with when interrupted typing their universe-altering texts – Mr. Trump wanted to (“basically”) look deep into Putin’s eyes and shout – “cut it out”!

Trump can’t fire Lindsay Graham or the Pope, but Haley…Jesus, Mary and Joseph – throw us a bone and send her back to her Waffle House waitress days.

All this (and many other idiotic notions from like-minded nut jobs throughout history) leads us to believe that Douglas Adams was on to something when he opened his novel with the following:
