A Quote by Lindsey Graham

And we can't get anything done here at home. So that drives my thinking more than anything else.

I'm representing the United States. And I'm representing the United States, and my office is representing the United States day after day in front of the court.

Everyone in the world is impacted by the United States' Big Brother attitude toward the world. We need countries to say no to the United States. The United States is the dominant power in the universe, with its eavesdropping abilities, cyber abilities. And the world is in danger with our tyranny.
The United States are a miracle: the division between two states is sometimes a river or a mountain, and sometimes it's a straight line. But nobody says, "That tree really belongs in South Carolina.

The Americans would have accepted it. But Europeans don't accept anything.
