Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Danish sources present at the meeting said Graham addressed Frederiksen as “little lady”, prompting her to reply: “When you’re done with that, the meeting can continue.”

Participants described Graham’s behaviour as “completely out of line”. One person present cited “lots of F-bombs”, with a third describing the US senator as “combative”.

I don't doubt it. He seems to be well out of fucks left to give.

Sounds really gay. That’s cause Lindsey said it.

Lady G was just giving respectful salutations.

Lindsey Graham "Lady G" Rumor

I will say, hypocrisy aside, it's crazy that Lady G's ladybug story is very tame by comparison to the scandal every story about a Republican in the Epstein files should be, but isn't for some reason...

What’s weird is that in the Us we refer to Sen Graham as “Little Lady Lindsey”

I’ve also heard many of his colleagues say “Little Lindsey Bindsey”

Those European leaders missed a golden opportunity to clap back with “Quiet, Piggy!”

Did she use the correct response, "Big asshole" ?

Haha I'm either reading too much or he's too predictable, or both. I immediately suspected Lindsay Graham. Sounds very on brand for him.
