Even if you know nothing about Lindsey Graham, Trump loves him. That alone should tell you what kind of human being he was.

And, since Trump‘s reelection, he absolutely loved Trump. Which is really fucked, because 10 years ago:

I do actually have (some, rapidly eroding) pity for the people that fox has brainwashed into acting against their own interests by preying on their fear.

Lindsey graham understood exactly what trump was and he decided to sell us all out anyway.

He wanted power and that's all he cared about. It's sad those are the people we put in charge.

This is, unfortunately, what happens when you disconnect from electoral politics and let the dumbest among us determine our leader.

::: spoiler It's sad really Inb4 VoTe hArDeR, as if not voting would have solved this problem and isn't actually the cause of the problem we are right now.

Vote with your heart in the primary and vote with your head in the general. Taking your ball and going home when you don't like the options available don't delegitimize the election, it only makes it easier for the team you hate to win over the party you only dislike. And, as we can see, letting the party of 'get fucked, poor' win means we all suffer. :::

This was when he thought Trump was telling the truth about "no new wars." The evil bastard was scared he wouldn't get to keep the murder machine running.

3

This was 10 years ago, long before the “no more wars“ bullshit. Trump didn’t start that up until after he left office and someone pointed out that he didn’t happen to start any wars while he was in office the first time, and he leveraged that into a campaign slogan for his next run for office

But I understand… It all seems to run together now

Ahh, did the police boy finally realize he was the consumable bottom of the machine?

Real. Being hated by the cops in most other contexts would be a fast way to earn my trust.

The only redeemable quality was his constant support for Ukraine. But outside that, he was a slimeball pilot fish who would always follow whatever the GOP leader said

48

He is happy seeing Ukrainians die killing Russians vs him seeing Americans die. He also loves that Ukraine's and the EU's military spending was keeping his portfolio happy. Your tax dollars entering his pocket via defense spending = consistent support from him

3

Lindsey openly said that he was supporting the war in Ukraine to kill as many Russians as possible.

He's far from the only supporter of that war that's happy to see Ukrainians die in the trenches just to kill Russians. You might want to consider who you're throwing your lot in wiith.

Well you should ask yourself a couple of questions then. You seem to have something in common with this slimeball pilot fish, that’s fkn disgusting no?

also was a self hating bigot of lgbtq+ everyone knows, he was definitely projecting his whole life.

Lindsay Graham liked one thing - war.

He did not have a concern about sending his supporters to die for him, if the money trickles back to him. In fact, he did. He has always been pro war, and any Democrat who has kind things to say about him paint a really clear picture who they serve, and it ain't Americans.

What on earth are you talking about? The boards of Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics contain several Americans.

The most moving tributes have been from the rent boys he paid to absolutely rail his ass.

Mary L. got the only fragment of a soul that was locked away in some dark recess of the Trump DNA.

Props to Fanone for continuing to speak out.

And, of course, Rest In Piss Lindsey Scumbag Coward Graham. The world rejoices.

trump apparently strongarmed her out of the will of thier parents, thats pretty much where her hatred comes from, all the other children played ball with trump.

2

With her name she gets a lot of power in the form of a platform. Well, an initial platform, at least. I only know of her because she has been insistent on using her platform well — that is, she says things worth listening to

I think you must have centrist brain fever. Lindsay Graham was not a centrist at all.

lemmy.dbzer0.com

No no no. I was referring to the title of the post referring to centrists as thinking Graham was a decent person.

IMO, centrists are just right-wingers who don't think all minorities should be enslaved/deported/put into camps. Just the ones they don't like.

21

Similarly, I would not normally look for a cop’s perspective on whether someone is a good person or not.

6

Finally realizing that even with his police "in group" status he was just a throw-away piece of trash, like those he put the government boot to, and that made him really angry.

I know quite a few people who would be considered moderate who were glad to see this mf die. What centrists are you even talking about?!

I mean, yeah. Maybe none in this thread right now, but there’s always one who comes along spouting their centrist drivel. How is pretending like they don’t exist helpful to anyone?

You seem to have reading issues. They are not claiming centrists doesn't exists. They are claiming that centrists doesn't defend Lindsay Graham.

Define centrist because Corey Booker and Nancy Pelosi were both posting "thoughts and prayers for his family"

i’d agree with that sentiment… can you imagine being his family? jesus… thoughts and fucking prayers indeed

Imagine thinking "thoughts and prayers for his family" is the same thing as "defending his political positions"

Imagine thinking the family of a fascist are not also fascists.

That's not defending Graham. That's having some compassion for people who are certainly grieving.
