Imma pin this one up for now.
Please remember the rule on celebrating death. Graham was an asshole, that should be enough.
In March 2016, Graham said: "I want you to use my words against me. If there's a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination." [1, 2]
You can say what a terrible person he was without celebrating his death.
Just like the Charlie Kirk responses:
"I can’t stand the word empathy actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics."
And you can say it's the 25th of December without celebrating Christmas, but the question is, why would I?
What is that socialist logo? An underhand wank of a gigantic glizzy?
So anyway.....anyone know who would be running to replace him? Does Colbert have a residence in SC?
lindsay "Lady G" graham died having never been married and never having children. He ran for president once, when asked by press who his first lady would be, should he win, he replied, "My Sister...".
It is not an inherently wrong or shameful thing to be gay, by any means, but to live an entire lifetime poorly hiding your own truth while being dedicated to hating what you are publicly, in a position to vocally support and enact actual law aimed at making other humans fear, suffer and feel less for just loving who they love is unforgivable.
His voting record who stand as a permanent indictment of a cruel person who led a short, hateful and frightened life - never taking a single free breath. A sad life, over.
Bye
I see the rule and I get why it would be written, but some deaths really do deserve celebration.
This is not so much a celebration as it is a pertinent and completely factual statement: Lindsey Graham, like the bulk of drivers in South Carolina, was simply a menace to society.
He died, but how are the ladybugs doing? Have they been saved? They should clip them off and Steven Miller can chew on them for power when there aren't any minority children to suffer.
What I love most about Graham dying is Trump is already feeling the cold breath of death on the back of his neck. With the Mitch the Turtle retreating into his shell, and now a younger Graham dropping dead, Trump will definitely be feeling his days are numbered.
I know that we're not to celebrate death of Graham so I'll say the nicest thing I can think about him.
Today for breakfast I had two eggs and an apple.
Lindsay Graham was in his current office for 23 years. His predecessor, Strom Thurmond was in that seat for 47 years.
Yikes, South Carolina.

You know, back in the 70s, we used to joke that you could tell the Soviet Union was a dictatorship because the Politburo was full of immovable decrepit crusty old apparatchiks who were never replaced from one "election" to the next. Kind of like the US...
They're trying to pull some shenanigans with McConnell, and whatever forces exist in the universe said no way José, I'll just take another one.
Meh. I used to think it was bad to not feel bad about someones death. Used to.
