I was unaware that he had a heart...

Strom Thurmond passed just under half a year after retiring.

stress, 71 is pretty damn early. I wonder what the actual cause was.

Happened to my friends husband a few months ago. Relatively young and healthy. My neighbor is about 74 he just had a massive stroke. Not overweight or anything.

He liked to party.

Don't think it was his liver.

I'll take whatever, as long as it's permanent.

It doesn't indicate why it stopped.

But who cares?

He seemed to have a serious drinking problem.

Bill Clinton into “coming clean” during his impeachment proceedings back in the 90s. Rep.Graham was one of the impeachment managers.
I could see right through him way back then.

Before he departed he was shown holding a Ukrainian drone. He seemed to really admire it.

One small step for peace.

The witch is dead.

That is all.

My sympathies to the family as well.
South Carolina will never find another one like him. Thank Goodness.

I can definitively say “Yes they can!” And will.

If I was a conspiracy theorist like the MAGA cult I'd say Putin had him taken out.

Hypocrite like all good Republicans..........

Agree that the timing of Graham's "cardiac arrest" soon after his visit to Ukraine raises some suspicions that he may have been exposed to some kind of chemical agent. Putin certainly would have a motive and so would Iran. They are experts at this sort of thing. They need to do a complete tox screen as part of an autopsy.

There's an elevated risk of cardiac issues due to prolonged sitting during flights. If he already had underlying issues, the flight to and from Ukraine might have pushed him over the edge.

So anyway...

If death comes in "threes"...Turtle, Lindseed and next the fucking moron. Fingers crossed.

I hope Iran nails that muther!!!

Rest in hell with Mitch, asshole!

The blessed universe always eventually provides.

I think this occasion needs to be celebrated. I already got out the noisemakers.

South Carolina's governor is Republican. So get ready for someone worse to take that seat - whether as interim senator or winning the upcoming general.

The top primary challenger to Graham had endorsements from (gag) Gregory Bovino, Joe Kent, and Michael Flynn. Shady cast of characters.

Maybe I'm too cynical. Would Annie Andrews have an easier contest against a non-incumbent (similar to Talarico in TX or Turek in IA)?

about Satan tapping him on his shoulder indicating he is next, and soon.

Wouldn't that just be the best thing in the world!!

All his trips to Walter Reed and his obvious physical and mental decline.

So He didn't "ace" the test!

Asking for a friend.

Wikipedia says: "On April 15, 2024, the Hudson Institute announced Haley would join the think tank as the next Walter P. Stern Chair."

She probably enjoys that a lot more than elected office. Plus, SC's governor isn't risking losing his Homeland Security advisory seat by appointing someone who'd vote like John Cornyn or Bill Cassidy.

I love that for us.

fake celebrity stories) But it's Agenda Free TV

No details yet

like Adam Mockler and Jack Cocchiarella...

I wonder what young up and coming pigs are knocking over that trough.

Lindsay Graham is dead. Good.

nt

Was wondering why breaking alerts were blowing up on my phone and assumed it was Iran stuff.

The GOP will nominate someone. Odds are it will be someone worse than if there was a primary. But I don't can't imagine SC flipping.
Why didn't this happen to........the concerned one....

won't be so easily manipulated with Kompromat.

Lindsay occasionally challenged Trump on one issue or another, but would then quickly fell back in line. Trump may not be able to blackmail the next SC Senator.

I’m surprised they haven’t shut down the edits.

One entry told us he was the marmalade shartcannon’s personal masseur (it disappeared real quick)

Another listed him as First Lady of the United States

Was a time I used to dig into the edits for entertainment, but I’ve lost the skill.

If anyone has the skill to dig into it, I guarantee you’d have a blast

I checked several sites, including this one, nut no one else had reported it yet. I'm actually shocked. I thought if any senator was going to die right now, it would be McConnell.

Two birds, one stone! I just feel bad that they're keeping Mitch on life support so they can cheat and count his vote.

(I don't really know that...I just suspect.)

(Do not speak ill of the dead)

(Zips mouth)

He flies a lot. Just returned from another trip from what I hear.

All his rent boys visit the grave.

Hope you didn't put too much money on pulmonary embolism

When I said pulmonary embolism in the context of him having traveled, I was thinking of a blood clot traveling to his heart. Deep vein thrombosis.

But it could’ve been just a simple heart attack

He did it.

Trump killed him

slowly but surely.

Dumbass.

trump sent Lindsay to poison Zelensky. Lindsay failed or refused to do the deed.
Then Putin or trump took Lindsay down.

The big P told Lindsay to make sure he went and saw Vance when he got home

With or without the conspiracy,
Vance visiting the pope, etc. and than they pass away.
if Lindsey did go and see Vance after his return trip
Well…

That HORRIBLE closeted backstabbing f@%got traitor should have croaked during Pride to really give the gays more reason to celebrate…but still, a win is a win, so….Rest in Piss, sweetie

...and I wouldn't be all that surprised if maybe one of them turned out to be true?

Condolences to his family and friends, 71 isn’t that old nowadays.

I’ll reserve my snarky comment for a later time.

I saw him his face looked really puffy. I bet he was sick and didn't know it. But he's been looking puffy and pasty for a while.

I mean like MAGAt Trump sycophants.

Graham gone.
McConnell supposedly gone.
Massie, Cassidy, Cornyn gone primaried out by an assault from Trump.

Do they have enough der leader troglodyte votes left. I'm guessing no in a lot of cases

There have been over 60 Senate roll call votes since Cassidy and Cornyn lost their primaries and I can only find one or two where Graham and McConnell not being available to vote would have made any difference -- both involving war power resolutions. Even after losing their primaries, Cornyn and Cassidy have consistently voted with the rest of the repub caucus.

But he was actually good behind the scenes in the gutless formerly publicly reasonable R on certain issues manner on Ukraine. He will be most likely be replaced by a full-on go ahead and invade Greenland Magat who isn’t.

That’s all I’ve got.

And now we just wait for The Big Beautiful Obit. Good news always comes in threes, right? 😄

It's too late
To celebrate

But come tomorrow
Some new sorrow
May befall the
Son of a Bitch Mitch

And we may say "addio"
To Satan's favorite trio
When he takes the bastards back
To join Jeff Epstein on the rack.

Back when he was John McCain's extra-hawkish sidekick, I sensed a certain level of decency about him.

But then McCain died and they had to re-home Graham, and he started following a far more malign superior.

... people say.

He was a total ass in the phony Clinton impeachment trial.

The old adage is that death come in threes, so we'll see.

For causes like suicide, overdose, accidental death from auto-erotic asphyxiation, those kinds of things.

I'd have never wished the man dead, but I'm reading his obituary with some amusement.

"Brief and sudden". Okay, so which is it - brief or sudden?
