“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed ... and we will deserve it.” – U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, May 3, 2016

[pabloernesto]

Alvin Bragg, Letticia James and Fani Willis are HEROES! A new generation of fearless prosecutors, who are actually seeking justice.

[randomoldlady_]

Lindsey appeals to old ladies - just like Liberace did - while they overlook the obvious

[jilllowman]

Lindsey, Trump has more money than I do. He doesn't need my money.

[traildoggy]

Whenever Lindsey cries, an angel gets its wings.

[JesusLopez-dujt]

Hey Ms lindsey, you have millions, give him your money 💰🤑

[inmyfreetyme]

I'd rather give my hard earned money to the HOMELESS. Come on guy (graham). Seriously ??? God Bless us ALL. 😎😎😎

[c.falcon]

'Where should we send the hostage money' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it, Joy!!👏👏

[Ganiscol]

Innocent men dont try to delay the trial, they ask the judge for a speedy trial.

[BrenQ]

“Obviously that man a hostage.” LOLOLOLOLOL. I do love Joy!

[wardatkins]

Donnie you singlehandedly did it to yourself " ya nasty "

[jeanperry]

As I recall, the judge never called Trump president. Lol! Trump isn’t president any longer.

[esterescobedo]

Finally, someone's feeling the pressure of reality! Graham knows there's buried information in those files about him, to be exposed if he's involved. So much foolery, they're all feeling the heat now, just like Graham! Get them all! 😅

[danieljames]

Thank you for your excellent reporting Joy 👍

[Col_Fragg]

If Trump is a Billionaire, why does he need financial assistance from working class people who can't even make ends meet?

[tracyforbes]

Trump is hating being reminded every second he is just a plain citizen like everyone else. Big dent in King Donald's ego.

[mySydan]

good. Keep him so tied up in the courts, he doesn't have a minute to campaign.

[tonyroam]

A regular folk knows better not 2 threaten a sitting Judge 🤨

[mvvpro]

"I need all of your money, what with the current inflation of criminal charges against me and my master."

[shizzle]

He’s a BILLIONAIRE “allegedly” and begging from the little people 😂
