    Plenty of actual solid reasons to hold the opinion that he is a fuck head. Giving the middle finger to the facts in order to do so is completely unnecessary, and likely counterproductive because it just makes it easy to dismiss your claims as coming from someone unreasonable. You are also justifying believing whatever you want reality to be, kind of like a Trump supporter. It’s shocking that people would be proud of denying reality.

      In context it’s clear that he is saying we should have acted sooner and it was a failure for not having done so

      In even larger context, Graham is one of the one’s not acting sooner by giving Trump a pass. The generous interpretation is still hypocritical, but why even grant him the generous interpretation?

        I’m not generously interpreting his statement, it’s clear what he’s saying. If we’re being objective, of course. Is he a hypocrite? Yes. Does this change that it’s clear what he said? No.

        Remember, just because you don’t like someone doesn’t mean you have to interpret everything about them as negatively as possible. You can still remain objective.
