You are probably orrect about Graham.

Regarding the response to Haley, why would it be any different? Haley was the Governor when 9 worshippers were slaughtered at Mother Emmanuel in Charleston. The killer was taken for a hamburger on the way to jail. The pastor’s casket was placed on state grounds under a Confederate flag. Haley and Lindsey Graham wanted to wait until after the funeral to discuss removing the flag from state grounds. Bree Newsome was arrested after removing the flag from its pole. President Obama eulogized Pinckney under the flag. On a Friday, Haley and Lindsey were still resisting taking action on the flag.over the weekend, businesses said they would leave the state if the flag wasn’t removed. On Monday, Haley and Graham pushed for flag removal. Haley became the great heroine. When I see Haley, I see the wicked witch.I offer no apology.

My statement is not equivalent to Rwanda. My advice is to vote to show your displeasure.

In reply to With Bolton ascendant, Haley

Earlier today saw CNN's Richard Roth do a short segment on her with the anchor; he's covered the U.N. beat for CNN since 1993 (pre-internet I remember him having a weekly show on international diplomacy which I used to try not to miss.) He said that despite most reps. despising Trump and Trump policy, a lot of them not only respected her but liked working with her, that she was a true pro. And regret that she's leaving because they can't imagine how it would be better, only worse. Got me thinking what a incredible accomplishment that is, she's certain got talent at diplomacy.

Edit to add: so the ditsy compliments about Jared and Ivanka, that is diplomacy too? Speaking of, I just heard on CNN about this, the president and the first daughter apparently do not talk that much, note the last line:

It is an honor to serve in the White House alongside so many great colleagues and I know that the President will nominate a formidable replacement for Ambassador Haley. That replacement will not be me.

As Palmer notes, why would Graham give up an easy powerful guaranteed 16 years in the Senate for a precarious few months in the Trump Administration? Some things don't make sense no matter how you twist them.

Noting that a 2020 run for office is ruled out and a supposition that a run for president is what she is going after; found retweeted by Lara Rozen:

Had to do it on my phone bc in transit. I feel like parts of this are kinda nudges to Trump to hang up his spurs, at least by 2024 pic.twitter.com/bxoSwMwnKV

In reply to Myopia which no apparent

I think that she will make a move for another political office. The office will be in the United States not Rwanda.

Lindsey Graham noted that Trump could replace Sessions after the midterms

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/23/politics/lindsey-graham-jeff-sessions-replace/index.html

I don’t think my scenario of a Sessions replacement is far fetched.

Edit to add:

Since I don’t think she is going away for long. I read the NYT story in detail. The article noted her heroism regarding the flag, a false tale. I pointed to the truth. It will be helpful to keep in mind when she reappears. It will come up again if she is appointed to the Senate.

2nd Edit to add:

In my Afro-paranoia, Lindsey’s judiciary committee rant was a job interview for AG.

In reply to Huh? our big takeaway of the

Myopia which no apparent lenses can help. Not seeing the forest for the trees. It's part of our reality as a species but it frustrates me because it's how things like Rwanda (or Trump) happen. Yet if there's one thing I am an eternal optimist and passionate about is that we are literally evolving to be in a more globalist order and tribalism is in its last dying throes of agony. I still believe in the U.N. (believe it or not).Yes, I guess I am with the Soros plot.
