Not quite the morning obituary I was hoping for. Nor the one I expected.

[Tommy Carcetti]

But Lindsey Graham was a Greek tragedy of a man, who sold his own soul and dug his own grave.

He is a most cautionary tale of the Trump saga for sure.

1. I wonder if we will ever find out...

…what turned him on Trump.

[Stuckinthebush]

3. Pure, blind ambition

That's probably all.

[c-rational]

13. Fear is my guess.

[evolves]

9. Kompromat

I'd rather not know, TBH.

[Hugin]

2. I'll say...

[chicoescuela]

4. Karma and excessive alcohol consumption caught up with him

His face was always so cherry red.

10. Finally.....

after 10 years of shitty news some national news that puts a smile on my face this Sunday morning. Yeah, I'm sure his replacement will be just as bad or worse but for the moment........YES!

Well, I'm off to clean our Cats litter box. Today's cleaning will be in honor of Lindsey. What a POS.

11. Like algae in a reflecting pool, these are the days of our lives.

The universe is in a mood lately. I can't say I blame it....

[paleotn]

12. And Mike Pence couldn't bring himself....

to attack Trump even after Trump's followers built a scaffold at the capital, threatening to hang him. And were a distinct threat to his family who were in the building during the insurrection. That's how power grabbing pieces of shit think. I can't wrap my head around it but there it is.

And don't "Greek tragedy" his stinking carcass. He deserves zero sympathy. He made his calculations with eyes wide open. No one put a gun to his head. He deserves nothing but our scorn.

14. Don't lose hope. As they say, it happens in threes

Lindsey Graham... Mitch McConnell... and we all know who we want in third place.

[PatSeg]

15. That quote is everywhere right now

It should be on his gravestone.

[relogic]

16. Like his faux, courageous

speech when the dust settled in the chambers after J6-

“All I can say is, count me out. Enough is enough…. It is over,” Graham said in his Senate- floor speech. “I prayed Joe Biden would lose. He won. He’s the legitimate president of the United States.

He’d led up to it by noting his long alliance with Trump: “Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way,” before delivering that line.

This demonstrated his complete surrender to a service without integrity, a capitulation I have never forgotten.

[PatSeg]

18. He had his moments

when he was sincere and truthful, but invariably he would turn around and undo it all with his bizarre and slavish devotion to Trump.

Back in 2016, few people described Trump as accurately as Graham, but then he went the opposite direction.

"Trump is a race‑baiting, xenophobic bigot who should be told to go to hell."

"Trump is an interloper and a demagogue of the greatest proportion."

"The bottom line is I believe Donald Trump would be an absolute, utter disaster for the Republican Party, destroy conservatism as we know it," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "We would get wiped out and it would take generations to overcome a Trump candidacy."

17. He sold his soul alright, but he was just one of many Republican politicians that did so, and knew better.
