If Lindsey Graham's for it, we should all be against it

 

A few days ago, Senator and bottom-feeder Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), said this about the voting rights bill put forth on the Senate floor, before it was filibustered.  However, there are still ways that what's necessary will get passed, or at least the Republican anti-democratic intransigence will become increasingly clear.

“The mother of all power grabs is going to fail,” said Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who like most of his colleagues denounced the legislation as a transparent attempt by Democrats to gain advantage in elections and permanently install themselves in power.

Here's another excerpt from this NY Times article.
"Mr. [Arsehole] McConnell angered Mr. Manchin by employing the filibuster against the proposal to create a bipartisan commission to investigate the Capitol riot. Now, he is promising to use the tactic against what could become Mr. Manchin’s voting measure."

It's not over until Mitch McConnell cries.
