1. The broken clock was an opportunistic asshole

2. Lindsey's Decade of Decay

3. I'm sure that Trump had dirt on Graham.

It was blackmail.

[littlemissmartypants]

5. That's always been my thinking. His about-face was very revealing. ❤️

[yardwork]

7. The saddest part is that it might not have been anything much.

It might have been a personal secret that Graham didn't want revealed, but nothing most of us here on DU would consider a problem.

We'll probably never know.

12. Well said.

Something that most people already strongly suspected anyway, and didn't care. How sad for someone to have to live their entire life in fear that something like their sexual orientation might be made public.

Just speaking generally, of course....

20. We all knew 35 years ago

[AZLD4Candidate]

16. I'm sure it will come out how deep in the cloest he was and that was used to corrupt him

[cstanleytech]

19. Or simply self serving for Graham.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

4. One thing about his "untimely" death is that he will never have the opportunity...

...to even try to rehabilitate his reputation by saying, 'hey, look, I knew it all along and I was right but I had to play the game. I was really in there fighting for democracy all along behind the scenes! Now that he's gone we can get back to true conservatism.'

Nope, you thought maybe you'd ride it out didn't you--you feckless, opportunistic, traitor to everything you ever claimed to believe?

Now you're just another sucker and loser....

[Grim Chieftain]

6. The fact that Graham never deleted that post is interesting

if not telling. One would think that as soon as he became part of Darth Vader's inner circle, he would scour his postings and scrub anything that was critical of Trump, yet he left this up. It's hard to dismiss this as an oversight.

No tin foil hat here, just curious.

13. I wonder if he ever deleted *anything* from twitter?

If he never did, it might not have occurred to him. OTOH, if he has deleted other things but not that one, then I"d say it could be a more relevant observation.

8. Are they sure he is dead. I mean they think Mitch is still alive.

[edbermac]

9. He's as dead as Generalissimo Francisco Franco

[hlthe2b]

10. That ought to be engraved on his tombstone... I daresay Lindsey "got destroyed" no matter

what the cause of death because I think he did internalize some of this shit--maybe from the ghost of McCain?

[relogic]

11. And boy

did he (LG) get destroyed. Our country didn’t deserve the destruction for which he cheered and enabled under trump. Deserving is reserved for and meted out by impartial judges. Lindsey, was it worth it?

[Martin68]

14. Well he certainly didn't act on that belief. I used to consider Graham a moderate, but he ended up a total MAGat

ass-kisser.

[usonian]

15. People post stuff! Here are some beauties from the TTM (Twitter TIme Machine)

WAIT! VANCE WANTS TO CHIME IN!!



Oh, and this.

[enigmania]

25. The (R) jokes write themselves.

[relogic]

17. Those who

are mourning the loss of the man- Lindsey Graham. They are mourning the man they lost like they would mourn for more death and mayhem at a child’s birthday party or springtime wedding.

[Bev54]

18. If Lindsay Graham can die, JFC why can't Trump

[Qutzupalotl]

21. I guess he was using the royal "'we."

[BidenRocks]

22. I do believe alcohol got him.

I am also 71 but quit drinking when blood tests came back elevated and a bit of cirrhosis showed up on the ultrasound. That was when chump won in 24.
None of this should be a surprise to a Senator with the best health care.
I would love to see a hepatic panel of his blood.
Mitch also!
Lindsey and Pirro. Drunk in hell though eternity!
Glad we are going the other way!

[czarjak]

23. NOT DESTROYED ENOUGH

Still!

[lastlib]

24. In the end, he will probably be proven right.....

It just took 10-12 years for the destruction to occur.

[Attilatheblond]

26. Just returned from Ukraine. Possible what he saw, and knew he helped Putin do, to wonderful people

might just have been more than even he could stomach.

Hearts do break. Air travel can cause embolisms. Hiding in closets when really unnecessary can take a toll. Sometimes people need to just stop the stress of being blackmailed into violating one's core.

We won't ever know. But anyone with a brain and functioning empathy will have a lot of questions.
