Lindsey Graham fist bumps VP Elect Harris on her first return to the Senate floor post election.
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
We live in a world where the President acted like it was maybe okay to kidnap a governor. The electorate is fucking wild now. And it's only gonna become a wider divide as OANN and Newsmax add their voice to the Fox News Chorus.
Whispered to Kamala Harris? The senator with the most progressive voting record? Y'all look for drama everywhere.
Hey if Kamala can be friends with white supremacists why can't Era posters be?
You're a big fan of TPUSA? Neat.
(Also yeah the source is shitty but it was still hilarious how Kamala flip flopped during/after the debates)
Just pointing out hypocrisy. Folks don't bat an eye when he talks about reaching across the aisle to republican voters and politicians but shit on Biden daily for literally the same rhetoric, or when he gushes about his friendships with horrible people. No one cares when he constantly talks about coddling "white working class" voters. Can't help but notice the selective outrage.
Not really I just used the first source I could find on twitter for the video since it was a while back. Good catch, and I should have looked at who was posting it this time. Doesn't really take away from what Kamela said/did though.

Wasn't there a thread about how Obama torpedoed Charlie Crist's political career by hugging him and everybody talking about how ridiculous that was?
You can't tell for sure no how much you want to gaslight, but as I said if she did initiate the fist bump she is advocating being a punching bag which is sad.
Politicians are studio gangsters. A small percentage are real ones.
At Beer # 5 Lindsey is doing his notorious Eddie Murphy impersonation.
"If I get this hole in one, that's proof White Christians are better LOL!" -- playing golf with Lindsey Graham

Quit making it sound like this is a mere disagreement between coworkers because it comes off as silly.
I dont see the big deal, it's a couple of teammates sharing a fist bump let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill.
I wouldn't touch a Republican particularly rn. Look out for your own health, we know Republicans don't.
I imagine every moderates and Republican behind the scene drinking whine and laughing at us.
Just like with the Reagan meme. Also fuck Reagan

Folks think everyone is supposed to be giving each other the finger.
Yep. Quoting this post
The whole "but they're coworkers" line is beyond trite. Furthermore, none of us on the ground should give a damn about their working relationship. Lindsay Graham is traitorous trash of a human being, and anything that makes him more relatable or takes the focus off him being traitorous trash should just not be done, and can easily not be done.
If Kamala doesn't extend the bump, then what happens? Lindsay walks right on by and that's 1 less thread on Era and fewer takes on Twitter and the like. So just do that - which is nothing.
No one is asking for Kamala and the Dems to ritually sacrifice the guy on the floor.
This seems like nothing. Harris threw up the fist and he bumped it. If anything it's Harris throwing out some shade, she's not a fucking moron. People in this thread are acting like Kamala Harris, future Vice President, doesn't know who Lindsey Graham is or what he's done/is doing.
lmao at everyone thinking this is 5th dimensional chess or that "they're co-workers" when they're literally in charge of policy that affects the lives of you and everyone you love. Way to lend him some more legitimacy after Feinstein already did. It's a big club and none of us are in it. Dude is on the record on TV saying that she and Joe cheated and didn't win and some of ya'll are still defending this as an act of "civility".
Her giving him the finger would actually be appropriate considering what he has accused her of, that´s literally where we are now, but I would have been happy if she just ignored him.
For reals, no one is calling for her to eviscerate him on the senate floor or start a fist fight, but this was an an unforced error, all she had to do was say nothing. There are 100 people in the senate, yes, it really would be that easy to just ignore him.
yup. anyone upset by this is going to have a looong 4 years.
People called the Clintons badass for ignoring Trump at GWB's funeral. If Kamala did the same with Lindsey she'd be unprofessional? Double standard.
Because at the end of the day, they're on the same team, it's just two bourgeois parties.
the'yre cowkorkers is a lol worthy defense. more ridiculous american norms that actively undermine the extent to which everyday people feel represented.
Different parties don't greet each other in other countries?
EDIT: Y'all are BIG sicing this
never... ok no obviously people greet each other at some point. In a sitatuon like this? Yes lmao it would raise some eyebrows.
Love to greet my homie who was just on TV the other night calling me illegitimate and a cheater.
Maybe things are going back to normal if fist bumps are now the biggest scandal happening in the political world.
I'm fully aware.
Going out of your way to fist bump a white supremacist who has dedicated his life to making others as miserable as possible and is currently leading the charge to throw out thousands of legal ballots in Georgia while calling your win illegitimate is such a shitty thing to do.
This forum expects us to cut off all Republican family members no matter the circumstances but is perfectly fine with Kamala/Feinstein going out of their way to show affection to the actual ghouls in charge of the party.
And yes for the record Bernie being friendly with snowball guy sucks too.
Considering what he tried to pull with the Gerogia SoS it's a pretty bad look. But the democrats have shown that they'd rather put on a fake show of unity that no conservatives will actually buy.
I don;t think anyone is under the illusion that she doesn't know what she's doing. We all know that at the end of the day they're playing for the same team.
I think sometimes this board buys into the kayfabe of American politics a little too hard. Most of these people are friendly if not friends, despite being across the aisle. That makes this even more gross, IMO.
Has she cosponsored legislation with Graham? Promoted any of his legislation?
Ceded to him on the Senate floor?
Defended him to the press?
There are quantifiable ways one could verify if they're on the "same team" that are of more consequence than a fist bump.
