C-SPAN: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC): "Who gives a shit who owns Greenland? I don't."

On the wings of the diplomacy of such a steadfast statesman and brilliantly eloquent rhetorician like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the USA should be able easily to restore international trust without any significant difficulties arising.

To that end and in the spirit of friendship with Denmark and Greenland, it would seem that Graham should now offer South Carolina to be annexed and become a joint protectorate of Denmark and Greenland since national sovereignty is of such little importance.

(There be some sarcasm up in them there hills.)

Perhaps, someone should send Graham a new pair of gilded, Trump-emblazoned knee pads: his current pair must be worn out from constant use by now.

from all of lindsey's vapors and feigned indignities....

He is a compromised and callous piece of dog excrement that is only in D.C. to serve himself now - he's not doing South Carolina any favors (of course, neither is Tim Scott).

Nobody gives a fuck what you think or what you care about. Hurry up and die from cirrhosis of the liver or something.

Who "gives a shit" about national sovereignty? Really.
That's the opposite of diplomatic.
