Lindsey Graham, Key Ally of Donald Trump, Has Died After Sudden Illness

[Frank Underwood]

His death is no great loss to me, but it caught me a bit off guard. People have been speculating that Mitch McConnell is dead, so I was expecting to hear about his demise.

Lindsey Graham, key ally of Donald Trump, has died after sudden illness, his office says

Republican senator served in Senate since 2003 and was sharp Trump critic before becoming one of his most loyal backers

The same thing that almost killed Rod Stewart? Allegedly?

Well, thank God that of those two, Stewart is the one who survived.

With Lindsey Graham brown bread, Mitch McConnell hospitalised for an indefinite period and Bill Cassidy and John Cornyn more willing to oppose Trump now that they have lost their primaries, that Republican majority in the Senate is looking precarious.

Say what you will about Hunter Biden (whom I find incredibly quick witted and great at trolling right now) but I think his statement is the best I've read:

'When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain. A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.” That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love. I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.'

Even if the Republican majority in the Senate looks precarious right now, does it even matter? The establishment Dems will ensure a new crop of Zionists take their place. Anybody who opposes Israel will likely have sexual assault allegations made against them by someone who has the messages to prove it, yet "conveniently" never shows them.

And then he probably went back to doing blow and filming home made porno films.

Of course, I always feel warm and fuzzy when the people who carve this country up amongst themselves and do Israel's bidding speak so highly of each other.

America before and after Trump is just another way of saying kinder, gentler war mongers and corporatists.

At least it was a time when there was a President you wouldn't entirely hate having kids look up to as a role model.

@Frank Underwood why don't you throw your hat in the ring instead of simply being a defeatist?

There once was a time when people of moral conscience were willing to put their lives at risk for a greater good and couldn't be bought and paid for. It could be that way again.

Good Lord, that idiot Kash Patel said the FBI was assisting local authorities in the investigation of Graham's death. Like, why? Way to make sure we all know there's a reason for conspiracy theories about this.

I would really like to believe that's true, but it's getting harder every day.

Frank, why is almost every reply of yours, to any post, always a variation of the "Democrats are just as bad, if not worse"? I'm not saying I disagree with you , just sometimes it would be interesting to stay on the topic being discussed.

Laura Loomer posted today on TwitterX that Russia probably assassinated Lindsey Graham.

So I guess that means Russia did not assassinate Lindsey Graham.

Because it's completely true. And that's said by two Democrats.

I certainly would never try to speak for @Frank Underwood but I can say this....

As a liberal...

Donald Trump is an abomination. He is the worst case scenario. He is a corrupt horror with complete power.

But his presidency was enabled by DECADES of war mongering millionaires.

Should be do all we can to end Trump's constant assault on the Constitution, the office of the President, and our country?

YES!

But even I can reluctantly admit that, although he is the worst, the Democrats made it all possible and CONTINUE to enable him. They do it for Israel and for money.

We can't keep calling out Trump while excusing Democrats that were more similar than it's comfortable to admit.

And we DO need to acknowledge and talk about that.
