ReplyI’m pretty sure I saw this guy in the movie “Porky’s”?
ReplyLady G for CLOWN of the week. He will probably be out done by another good but before the week ends.
ReplyGeorgia Lawmakers Warn Stricter Gun Regulation Could Cause Mass Shooters To Move To Other States
Reply– The Onion
Now those “gang members” know you have guns, and will SPECIFICALLY single you out to take them. Good job blowing your own cover.
ReplyAre the cops going to rush to his house in a break-in situation? Nope, they’ll be thinking “Jesus Christ, a crazy hateful old man with a semi-automatic gun. I’m not rushing in there and getting shot by him..”
ReplyThey lie lie lie I don’t want to and I don’t listen to him I think they’re disgusting human beings if you want to call them that
ReplyI guess this is an improvement from Ted Cruz. At least Lindsey stays in his state after a storm and doesn’t jet off to Mexico.
ReplyLindsey, when you are carrying your ar15 make sure you don’t trip over your skirt!
ReplyTough talk from Senator Douchebag. In the fantasy “Big Lind’s” kills all the bad guys. The adoring masses worship at his feet. “My what a big gun you have Lindsey!”
ReplyIf he didn’t make laws that keep people in poverty, he wouldn’t need an AR-15. The world’s happiest countries like Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Denmark, Iceland, Greenland don’t need AR-15’s. Poor people are unhappy and hungry. They get desperate and turn to violence. Even not having free hospitals makes for mentally sick people to remain untreated and to roam the streets, unwanted. Tax the rich and help the poor. They all claim to be Christians, yet they forget that the first teachings of Jesus are to help the poor, the sick, the bereaved and the drug addict. They say the US is a Democracy, but it’s more a Plutocracy, a society that is ruled/controlled by people of great wealth or income while the vast majority live from paycheck to paycheck, from welfare check to welfare check. The only ones who are happy in the US are the richest 1%, creating a vast disenfranchisement in the lower salaried and too many turn to violence to either better their situation or simply to get revenge on the rich who don’t care about them.
ReplyThank goodness I reside in Japan where when there is a natural disaster, people pull together, act calmly and help each other out. The only ‘gangs’ are groups of volunteers armed with nothing more than a strong will to help. Even the ‘yakuza’ (Japanese gangsters/mafia) organise truck loads of relief items such as food, water, blankets etc. I hope LIndsey Graham realises that he is portraying his country as a lawless cesspit and his fellow countrymen as raving lunatics. Is this really the image (largely unfounded and imaginary) you want your politicians to be portraying to the outside world?
ReplyWell, I think Mr. Colbert could make a pretty good gun safety instructor if he practices more, well it makes sense, lol?
ReplyFlip flap Lindsey,
ReplyAn AR-15 is not the best home protection firearm, Miss Lindsey. Think M4 carbine. The best protection for a girl like you, however, would be trained and armed security.
ReplyWhen I think of people who I wouldn’t mess with and who stick to their guns, I generally think of Lindsay Graham, said no one ever.
ReplyTruly inspiring what faith he shows in the government to be able to protect him.
ReplyPeople, people, you rake the forest floor and you shoot at a natural disaster and you ingest bleach for something else. It’s all very simple, elementary.
ReplyPicture this: Lindsay Graham holding an AR15.
ReplyGotta watch out for the South Carolina Gang. They make their money stealing paper towels after hurricanes.
ReplyGraham is right !
ReplyWhich gang.??..the one that raided the Capitol.??
ReplyYES HE NEEDS A TRUMP ASSEMBLYREQ.15 MEMORY TEST.
ReplyWhat’s his address?
ReplyGiven how old he is the I think you’re going to have a hard time defending yourself against the grim reaper time is not on your side buddy.
ReplyYOUR HOUSE WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO BLOW A-HOLE
ReplySo Lindsey thinks that natural disaster equals gang violence? Am I hearing this right?
ReplyMore of that ridiculous gun fantasy that says owning a firearm automatically transforms you into an intimidating hero.
ReplyIt’s funny actually since the guy wielding an AR-15 in any story is always the villain.
But but
ReplyIf everyone in his state has AR15,
So when the natural disaster came n police can’t defend his neighbourhood
Wouldn’t it be logical that the bad guys also be armed with AR15?
do he really think he can fight them off alone?
Honestly, it would be great if people would say why they really want to have guns: inferior complex.- guns are cooler than legos – small penis – donor money from the arms industry – did I forgot something?
Reply“I’m deeply suspicious of my neighbors cuz I’m projecting my self-hatred onto those around me”
That is SO on the nose. MAD respect!!!
ReplyWhat “gang” is he talking about? Am I in the gang? I hate his guts for trying to highjack our democracy, Am I a gangster?
ReplyI firmly believe, Lindsey Graham is afraid of handling an AR-15
ReplyCall me crazy, but I think you should be able to fire an AR-15 before you come to own an AR-15. WTF do I know.
ReplyCan AR-15s be used in non hog-related disasters? I was under the impression that their utility was limited to the dispatching of between thirty and fifty wild hogs.
ReplyDoes Lindsey seriously think he’s going to go all action hero against a freaking gang from mad max? Because of a natural disaster?
ReplyColbert…..still old still not funny. Get a job on the Cartoon Network and led James Corden do late night
Replythe man has no soul or shame
ReplyI wonder what Lindsey thinks those gangs look like in his fever-dream disaster movie scenario? Wonder…wonder…
Reply“I’m deeply suspicious of my neighbors because I’m projecting my self hatred on those around me!” ~every 2nd amendment nut everywhere
ReplyI lived in a poor neighborhood when family and I came to the U.S. and then moved to lower middle-class neighborhood, and I have never seen a roaming gang out for blood or to loot residential homes.
ReplySo funny Lindsey playing the ‘hard’ man. Would love to see that poor excuse of a human stand up to anyone. He proved his power whilst working for Trump, that he has no spine.
ReplyLindsey give it a break,you washup, there nothing to fear from you.ttump use you, Mitch use u,the people from SC doesn’t trust u,we just stuck with you, yes you won but you lost much more.
ReplyLindsey’s house is indeed the last one the marauders will come to. For a nice retreat after looting all the others houses, and to get some relief in his welcoming arms.
ReplyGot the Slingblade soundtrack….play that uneducated banjo
ReplyOh Lindsey, with a girls name, if all the gang have AR-15’s too you are in real trouble, “Mr. flip-Flop”…
ReplyJust because you have an AR doesn’t mean you have the balls to use it. I honestly believe that Lindsey would pee in his panties.
Replylindsay is making a say 12 really stupid things this year 2021 calendar – can hardly wait for april
Replywould that be the gang of blacks, mexicans, asians, gays, women, gerbils, …???
ReplyThe GOP are now exclusively pandering to their radicalized base because they are held hostage on primaries by said base. They are therefore desperately Gerrymandering and passing biased election laws in swing states because they know they can no longer appeal to the centre.
ReplyOne thing always makes me laugh is when people say, I have a gun, be it an AR-15 or something else. Ok, perhaps you even go on the range now and then to train your aim… but even if you do, which I doubt, most people, myself included, aren’t able to remain cool and collected in an a moment of extreme stress and react in a rational matter and still operate in a practical manner…. not a lot of people can do that.
So, Senator Graham, drop the BS. I live in one of the safest countries in the world and apart from old service rifles, we do not have guns at home nor need to. We do not defend our homes with guns… that is the role of the police and the government… not yours. So to hear a member of the US Senate saying he needs a gun to defend himself… you’re shooting yourself in the foot there, mate!
ReplyWhat an idiot, if all hell breaks loose in his area, his home is the first one to get raided for more supplies. Dude’s a clown
ReplyOk new show idea: take all the pro gun nut politicians and drop them in a live warzone. No backup, no filibuster.
ReplyI always thought he was a cartoon character
ReplyIs your A-15 in lindsie’s closet?
ReplyWhen a storm hit my father’s neighborhood, he took in several families because he had a generator when others didn’t. He wasn’t worried about gangs. He was worried for his neighbors.
ReplyLindsey Graham doesn’t know which end the bullet comes out of.
ReplyWhen he says “gang” does he mean families looking for assistance?
ReplyWhat gang?! Smdh
Replylol. I thought he was going to say he’d protect his neighbors.
ReplyEven in his wildest deranged fantasy, he’s still a jerk.
Lindsay is a real man’s man, you can tell by the way he talks.
ReplyI’m going to take a wild guess and say Mr. Graham has a pearl-handled derringer that he keeps shoved up his butt for just such emergencies.
ReplyHe’s also stockpiled fuzzy handcuffs to detain all of the “sweaty savage brutes” that happen to survive his gunslinging prowess.
No further proof than what is evident here that the AR-15 is made for compensation and lunatics LOL
ReplyLindsay with an AR-15 would be like Rambo in a Too-too.
ReplyPeople make the mistake in thinking that big TVs, electronics, big stereo equipment and jewellery are the most valuable items in a robbery, but they can be hard to pawn off or fence — a number of things not valuable as they used to be. Firearms on the other hand… You’ll *always* find a buyer, legal or otherwise! It would be foolish of Lindsey Graham to advertise such a hot item to thieves, but being a politician, you know he is just talking out his ass.
ReplyLimped Lindsey would be hiding under his rock…
ReplyBecause the gangsters wouldn’t kill you and take the AR15 and your family – mad max style.
ReplyLiar he can’t even aim please.
ReplyLindsey would be running, pushing kids & seniors out of the way faster than you can say “George Costanza”
ReplyThe tough and mighty Grahambo….
ReplyFor home defense everyone knows a shotgun is much better than an AR-15.
ReplyWe’ve all seen footage of Lindsey runaway scared during Capitol riot.
ReplyHe wants to be able to fend off the base when the spell wears off and their senses return?
ReplyLindsey thinks about Diaper Don when he strokes his gun.
ReplyThe gang lives down the street at Aunti Feefa’s house.
ReplyGrahambo!!!
ReplyA gang is worried about getting Lindsey more than worrying about water, food, and electricity?
ReplyI don’t own I don’t own any kind of weapons therefore I don’t seek to harm anyone if anything I was a deputy Jailer J-14 I was slammed against the wall and choked over lunch trays by another deputy I was being bullied at work but yet no justice and if that don’t beat all a woman was getting beat I stopped to see if there was any kind of assistance that officers might need instead I get thrown in jail handcuffed about all night long for stopping to see if the officer needed any help I’ve been humiliated by witnessing a man punch a woman in the face but wouldn’t even ask if I’ve seen it you like me stopping to see if someone needed any help if there was a wreck due to CPR or any kind of assistance that training I might have had but yet still I don’t see why I can’t get any justice said Pope that made fun of humiliated can’t go to work I am tired of being humiliated need to provide for my family but yet there’s no justice for me if anything I should have been a hero but that doesn’t matter I’m not no hero I’m just wanting to go back to work so I can provide for my family but instead I get lash back and can’t even get my belt back from a Randy Waters in Mccreary County Kentucky crooked Sheriff that has clearly then things he shouldn’t have done evidence missing out of the evidence room family member selling drugs but yet getting by with all the crap and Antics that he does but yet they don’t speak out because they’re afraid of him cops pulling women over for sexual acts money missing why isn’t he being the best of gated he’s not going to be the sheriff forever how do I know these things I’ve seen him at a friend’s house next door collecting a envelope at a drug dealer’s house and people’s been murdered but yet officers that was involved act like they didn’t see nothing still a young man missing but they act like they know nothing about it when it’s on video when they chop that young man to pieces where is the investigation starting begin when clearly there was multiple people involved I’ve seen this video but don’t have it in my possession but no of others that do and that has complained and seen it but still yet our share doesn’t do nothing about the things that goes on in this County because he is involved
ReplyI have no doubt that gangs would not target Miss Lindsey’s house mainly because they wouldn’t want to be associated with such a spineless demon.
ReplyNice to know Colonel Lindsey Graham (Air Force Attorney) is all ready to fend off the Viet Cong this summer.
ReplyI feel safer already.
The gang gave no interest in you Lindsay. Not important to anyone
ReplySo there’s a natural disaster and a “gang” of people needing help and shelter would get a AR15 pointed at them…. WoW, how “american” of you Lindsey….. is he going to send them thoughts and prayers while spaying them with hot lead…?!?!!!
ReplyThey worship guns and money and have no heart. Can you really imagine this “guy” with enough stones to defend himself?
ReplyThe natural disaster is YOU, Lindsey (Yo!)
ReplyLindsey will look adorable in his pink tutu and matching ballet shoes sporting his AR-15. Reality has him hiding and shivering under his bed.
Replyif organzed gang comes.. I doubt there is much he can do with his ar15… thats just stupidity.
ReplyGraham’s limp wrist couldn’t hold up a 22 much less an rifle. She’s full of it. Real men don’t have to brag about things. Didn’t teach that in home ec. huh?
ReplyThis time, Rambo actually makes sense.
ReplyIt’s all about that victim complex with Lindsey and his fellow Republicans especially if they are victims of there own imagination.
ReplyIf he can handle the recoil for the AR or ANY of the guns he has I’ll give him props. Dude looks way too frail in my eyes though.
ReplyHollywood has clearly put a mark on some americans mindset LOL
ReplyLast gang I saw on the hunt were a gang of Republicans storming the senate.
ReplyNothing stops a tornado hurricane flood pestilence famine or you know a pandemic quite like an assault rifle I don’t know why this guy has us paying for his Healthcare when he can just shoot his broken foot or cancerous tumors away
Reply“HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAH”
-Respectfully, a European
ReplyGraham IS the natural disaster!
ReplyAsk any Texan how useful their stash of guns and ammo was during the last natural disaster. This is pure posturing, nothing more.
ReplyLindsey trying to sound macho is hilarious
Replythe gang? I didn’t the gangs rob wet clothes from old people in rural areas during natural disasters, usually the roads are wet and closed LOL oh wait .. the gangs use choppers and speedboats – they just attach turrets on top of the boats – republicans are truly stupid
ReplyWhat gang, Lindsey? What gang is coming to your house to pillage after a storm? Those guys with the yellow vests, chainsaws, and electric wire to fix the power? You going to shoot _them?_
ReplyMost gun owners proclaim they will be able to stop a crazy wacko who goes on a killing spree and thereby protect others. Truth is, they will protect themself or most likely avoid it if they have 0 interest in the fight.
ReplyLike this snaking coward Lindsay, he’s a true flipping yapper whose only interest is keeping his seat and spewing shit. When it comes to protecting his neighborhood, you can hear it from his own mouth, he’ll protect himself.
I remember when Colbert was one of the smartest comedians in history. Now he and his bits are the dumbest. What are you even talking about?
Replyjust tuned in to my daily Liberal Klan Meeting ………
Reply2nd amendment. It’s a thing libs. It’s a thing libs. It’s a thing libs. LOL
ReplyWith his flip flop personality and incompetency during a natural disaster he would be more dangerous to his family and himself than any outside force.
ReplyCome on out,we know u want to
ReplySeems like a bunch of these Republicans are banking on the Zombie Apocalypse being a real thing.
Replyl.g. will run faster than any man alive to avoid a fight,and definetly run faster than his children and grandchildren to get away.that”s my opinion
ReplySomebody please tell ”Senator” Graham that if he introduces legislation to address social inequities, and strengthen disaster preparedness, he won’t have to worry. And what makes him think that one man can out-gun a dozen starving, homeless people? Give it up, Home Boy!
ReplyMiss Lindsey; Bless my soul it’s a gang… bang
ReplyMy house is the last one they need to come to! Lol.
ReplyWith antifa and blm hooligans burning property in our cities and threatening the suburbs plus open borders biden and his crowd letting illegals in well an AR and plenty of ammo is a good thing to have.
ReplyCops? Doesn’t he live in a place with a private law enforcement response?
ReplyI could just see former proud daughter of the Confederacy and now proud daughter of Mother Russia Leningrad Lindsey Graham, playing “tough” guy?? gal????
ReplyHey everybody, it’s the last house on the left! Quick before he shoots himself with his own gun!
ReplyThe gang? What gang? What is he talking about?
ReplyNooo, You’re house would be the last because “the gangs” would have to wait to stop throwing up because of the Boku No Pico marathon you have blasting on your big screen TV!
ReplyHe would probably shoot himself on accident!
ReplyBimbo Rambo wants to keep a gun, agun?
ReplyAR15 for natural disasters? What he wants to shoot at the hailstones? Do you even know where the bullets go?
ReplyOoh meow PERTEEE lil kitty has sharp claws.. HAHAHAHAHA
ReplyHow come he ran from the capital mob his friends.
ReplyAnother person clearly exhibiting delusional thinking and boasting about his AR-15. You go, America!
ReplyUtterly ridiculous.
ReplyRambo is a lot smarter than
Replyhis screen image suggests.
Myrtle Beach SC, Lindsey wearing a Cammo pattern Girdle with a AR-15 the last stand for him or he is out!
ReplyWho’s Graham kidding? He can’t fire a gun, he doesn’t have a spine to stabilise his body!
ReplyWhen there’s an earthquake, the first thing I do is grab my AR-15 and show those fault lines who’s boss.
ReplyIf the cops can’t get around then how would the “gangs” get around. That sound so stupid
ReplySo he is saying exactly what we’ve all known this whole time. Conservatives are crazy. So their actual reason for needing a military rifle is because they expect society to completely break down and there to be roving gangs terrorizing the survivors? It’s beyond comical.
And these gangs, what exactly will they be doing? Looking for food? Women? Human sacrifices? If it IS actually in the early days of such a Hollywood type catastrophe, they will FIRST look for GUNS. And any old man shooting at them from his mansion will be easy pickings and they first ones to get killed.
ReplyHe’s not wrong. If the gay population were to come together and revolt he’d be one of the first bigots we come for. But no AR15 would stop us from comig.
ReplyThe gang???
ReplyHe’s not wrong, in a disasters if looters come to my place they are gonna meet my rifles too.
ReplyGangs don’t kill people, White supremacists kill innocent people
ReplyThis snowflake is afraid of his own shadow. Thats why he bends to trumps will.
ReplyWe all know he runs away from a four year old kid with a balloon on a stick
ReplyOh for Christ’s sake you’re such a fake.
ReplyI wonder how many trigger words he knows for brown and black people.
ReplyHow was this person re-elected into office ? Come on people, you have to realize that these fools are not just representing your state but they have an effect on the whole country !! Just look at the damage mcconnell has done !! Please, we have to do a better job when we vote !!
ReplyIf there’s a natural disaster bad enough that the police can’t protect your neighborhood, odds are gangs are not your biggest problem.
ReplyHe ll be the first to get gun down on his street in that scenario.
ReplySo, you would murder real people over property?
Replyi am sure his house will be over-run without firing a shot
ReplyDid you catch the footage of Lyndsey manning one of the heavy machine guns on the recent GOP gunboat cruise? Priceless.
ReplyRambo is what Lindsey calls his boyfriend!
ReplyTrump wanted to nuke hurricanes and this toolbox wants to shoot phenomena like tornados, earthquakes and tsunamis with a rifle. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the worldview of the modern Trumpublican Party. And almost half of you voted for this worldview. Wooooooow.
ReplyOkay sir.. Somalian Army will come to US because you don’t feel safe in your own country. Now, Somalia looks safer than USA.
ReplyDear Christ we have natural disasters in S.C every third Hurricane season. That’s when we help our neighbors out gangs my butt.
ReplyYes Lindsey, the next time a natural disaster hits, bunker down with your gun and though the sound of your teeth chattering listen to the Americans around you helping their neighbors.
ReplyLindsay doesn’t have a fantasy, it’s a wet dream!! ( when people really starts to invade his home ). Maybe he needs a diaper like someone we know…
Replyyou want a gun??? get it off the street and face the music LIKE A MAN in case you get caught with it! that will make you think twice bout if and when should you use it. (instead of buying god damn military grade assault weapons at friggin’ walmart like any 90 year old grandma could)….pussies….
ReplyLadies and Gentlemen the Official South Carolina state weasel!
ReplyIt’s not a gang! Listen to their three syllable chant. “Hug Mike Pence! Hug Mike Pence! Hug Mike Pence! Hug Mike Pence!” These are people who really love their country, and Mike Pence.
ReplyIf this scenario sounds like a movie to you, you didn’t just live through 2020
ReplyIt’s amazing to me how un-funny he’s becoming….
ReplyWho ever said a person has to be smart to be a senator?
ReplyLindsey Graham, the last person you’d expect to come to assist you when a natural disaster struck. He’ll be at his home, hunkered down with his ArR-15, ready to rapid fire anyone in the vicinity who looks “suspicious” (aka non-Caucasian).
ReplyIf things went bad Lindsey Graham would probably shoot his own foot or more likely one of his family members. Guns are not toys.
ReplyLindsey’s just saying that it’s his constitutional right to be prepared for a race war.
ReplyLindsey is an unnatural disaster…..
ReplyAnd a natural disaster is going to cause your neighbors to attack your house, rrrright
ReplyI like how old ass Lindsey Graham thinks he can win a fight.
ReplyWhere does this deep seated fear of anarchy and the need to violently defend against it come from for conservatives? The only thing I can think of is that on some level they realize their tenuous position of privilege within our society, and are terrified of a situation where the police won’t be available to swoop in and continually ensure their safety against the rabble of society
ReplyJfc It’s a hurricane not a Mel Gibson film.
ReplyBut, what if everyone is South Carolina also has an AR15?
ReplyLeningrad Lindsey can’t be relied upon in a fire fight to save his fellow Americans, he couldn’t even be trusted to wear a mask.
ReplyIn Fact South Carolina’s Disaster is Lindsey Graham.
ReplyHe likes BIC black things.
ReplyLindsey says “gang” and thinks “bang!”

Then they weep and wet themselves.
