Conspiracy theorists on X already have a handle on this.
Graham was poisoned by Russia during his recent trip to Ukraine! And, in the telephone game of social media, that has now transitioned from a crazy theory to a verified fact… because people further up the call chain already claimed it. So, it’s verified!
Well. I know a few people who will be not too upset about this.
RIP Senator Graham.
Died suddenly after a brief illness used to be newspaper obit code for suicide.
Holy shur! He was our one-man military industrial complex. Who will carry the flag now?
Graham was a double-edged sword in my eyes. He was labeled Lindsey Grahamnesty for his earlier stance on immigration. Staunch defender of Trump and Israel.
Sigh...71 seems so young...said from the vantage point of 78. One would think he had the very best of medical preventative care and was on all the right meds to prevent an early fatal cardiac event. I'm not writing that to stir a conspiracy pot...just to acknowledge that death can happen early-ish in spite of everything.
Bad ticker.
Too many early deaths. Why? He was in good health.
Well at least he didn't fall out of a window.
Goodbye Lindsey G
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you love McCain
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a MAGA in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the woke set in
And I would've liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Lawfare was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Washington created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Lindsey maybe liked a dude
Goodbye Lindsey G
From the young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something as more than political
More than just our modern James Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a MAGA in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the woke set in
And I would've liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Yeah, he seemed to be pretty healthy, but sometimes some hidden things can sneak up on you.
We definitely have an aged political class.
Well done John Mosby
I have an uncle who died at 50 of a heart attack. It was his second in a period of about a week - which meant that he was home with his family and had had a chance, and the motivation, to say everything to them that he wanted to say. He was far too young, but that week was a blessing.
And, a friend of ours had a heart attack at 50 followed by a stroke. He's made it an additional decade so far, for which we're very grateful. Since these events, he's made interesting choices: he's become vegan to try to better his odds (but he doesn't eschew fried foods, alcohol, or sweets, and he doesn't exercise at all and is carrying at least 40 extra pounds), he and his wife are living out as many of their dreams as they can afford, and this year he retired early. Bit of a mixed bag.
A few days ago, Lindsey said he was going to check on Mitch McConnell. He’s a man of his word with this. He’s talking to Mitch right now.
I always love a good conspiracy.
"Did Russia just poison Lindsey Graham?
There seriously needs to be an investigation. Russia just sent a delegation to Khamenei’s funeral in Tehran where the IRGC and funeral organizers was calling for myself, President Trump and Senator Graham to be assassinated.
Lindsey Graham was in Ukraine one day ago calling for a Russian sanctions bill that he claimed the White House supports.
Now he is suddenly dead from a random illness according to his staff.
Did Russia just murder a US Senator?" https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/2076205132258124052?s=20
I’m reminded; speak nothing but goof of the dead. I’ll leave it there.
Guessing a heart attack or a pulmonary embolism. He was just in Kiev and those long flights are an invitation to blood clots. RIP.
He cared about North Carolina so much that he flew to Israel every two weeks.
Rest in Peace, Ladybug
The Kavanaugh nomination hearings may have been his finest public moment.
RIP. A shocker.
I’m sorry, I won’t believe he’s really dead until Scott Jennings tells me about the long conversation they just had.
Tina Trent said...

We are way to accepting of obesity.
I thought I noticed he wasn't around the media, much .. in say, the last year.
RIP, Sen. Graham. Excellent, Mr. Mosby, @7:31AM.
BoatBuilder - agreed.
RIP. Just a reminder we can pass at any time. Be nice and enjoy the time you have.

My father and grandfather both ran a dairy and had valve replacements in their early 50's and took blood thinners after that.
Most of our heart disease goes away if we stop eating vegetable oils and a wheat/corn based diet.
These things happen. My brother died suddenly last year with no indication of illness. His heart just stopped. He was 62.
I did not know that Graham was a retired AF officer. JAG, but still, he did deploy to the sandbox at least once. Also, his parents died when he was 21, leaving him to care for his teenage sister, who he adopted.
Sad news. It does seem like Lindsey Graham stopped doing the cable news circuit recently. But I sort of think this was a blood clot after a very long flight.
On the Mitch McConnell front, if his people were determined to fake his death or imminent death, could they use AI to fake his voice? Maybe the conversation Scott Jennings claimed he had was with a computer?
Wow! Sure didn't see this one coming! RIP
RIP, but I was never a fan - I thought he was one of those worst-stripe politicians, the suck-up kind that always smile, while being true to their own private agenda. I reformed my opinion a bit when I learned of his long military service and his devotion to his birth family and siblings.
The pressure will be on now to get McConnell replaced, who was a worse enemy to the President's plans.
This has got to be personal for a bunch of oldies like the Althouse crew. Lindsey was two years younger than me.
Genetics probably plays a big role. I read that his father died of a heart attack at age 69.
Story is archived here, for those not wanting to give their email:
https://archive.ph/DYTzZ
Agree that his work during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing was his finest hour.
Graham was. a mid-Boomer. I've long suspected that we may see more deaths of Boomers and later generations when they hit their 70s. It seems like the explosion of sugar in the diet for Boomer children may have had impacts that those growing up in the depression and war didn't have. Time will tell.
Full disclosure, I'm a late Boomer. But when people say he "died young" I'm not so sure he didn't just lead the trend.
Jaq. It’s quite ok if Lindsey didn’t care about North Carolina, it’s a bit of another state who has lost the way. He was our Senator from South Carolina
>michaele said...
"...and was on all the right meds to prevent an early fatal cardiac event."<
Cardiac medications can lower risk and improve survival in many conditions, but they do not even eliminate the possibility of a fatal event. And 71y/o hardly qualifies as early for a fatal heart attack.
He died of botulism. Bad meat in the can.

Agreed.
RIP.
By a coincidence, I was thinking of Graham yesterday. I was scrolling through YouTube and came across "Judy Moonlight", a song made as a joke for a Bad Lip Reading episode with Graham "singing" a bit of it.
Somewhat OT but since it was mentioned, replacing McConnell if necessary is going to be a real pain. Our legislature in KY decided to change a fairly reasonable plan of presenting 3 names to the Governor for appointment to a special election with no interim appointment, and we've already got the general election for McConnell's seat coming up in November.
Welcome to Hell Goober. If anyone deserved a trip to Hades it was Lindsey Graham, the man who chortled over "Killing Russians" and supported through his power war everywhere.
Never did the murder or killing of innocents ever bother him, instead he was Mr. Gay tough Guy who reveled in it.
So, a nice way to start a Sunday morning.
I'd forgotten how young Lindsey Graham was. He was almost 20 years younger than his idol John McCain. And 13 years younger than Joe Liberman and Mitch the Bitch.
It’s tough to process Graham’s sudden passing, no matter where you stand on his political views. He was to be on Meet the Press the following day, was on the Senate floor three weeks earlier, and even in Kyiv on Friday. Such a suddenness invites us to pause and consider before jumping to conclusions. Graham was a more complex individual than either his critics or the John/Taupin poem might imply. He ran against Trump in 2016, labeling him disqualifying, and then became one of his most trusted allies. He was also, as reported by various sources (see, Sen. Warner’s statement), someone who could work with those who disagreed with him. It’s crucial to remember this for its own sake, without trying to gain a cultural advantage “MAGA” or Woke or turn old tabloid rumors about his personal life into a joke on the same day his family is seeking privacy. RIP
Suprisingly, Miss Lindsey was last seen in Kiev on Friday. No doubt sampling the Gay night life and meeting with Zelensky. So yeah his "brief and sudden illness" was very sudden.
Wonder if the Russian secret police got to him. Certain drugs combined with a weak heart = RIP.
Anyway, I cant think of any Pols death that would make me more happy. Not only was he a digusting liar, warmonger, and fake, he was most annoying loud-mouth and camera hog in the US senate. After the Mavericks death, no weekend was complete without Miss Lindsey showing up on a talkshow to yap away.
And like the Maverick, he didn't really seem to care about his voters, but was constantly flying all over the world meeting with foreigners and promising them support and OUR money to fight some war.
I'm sure SC Republicans are quite sad. They can't vote for Graham every 6 years and forget politics and go fishing. I wonder what horror they'll nominate to replace him. Nikki Haley? Probably.

Yep. He's a month younger then me. From the pics I just looked t, rather obese. I think the medical term would be "morbidly obese". Morbidly being a good descriptor.
Probably had multiple indicators of suboptimal health. But were they even looked at? Also had one big predictor of a shorter then average lifespan. He was single. Statistically, that's a killer.
I liked Sen Graham. He didn’t always agree with me but he did mostly. People seem to have a real problem these days allowing anyone to have a single political disagreement. It is childish. RIP Senator Graham.
May God have mercy on his soul. Interesting that he passed only a short time after another elderly unmarried right leaning politician - Ann Widdicombe.
Good Republican Party governor. No Democrat machinations.
2 percent of 71 year old die every year. Miss Lindsey was one of the 2 percent. Thank God.
I did not know about his caring for his younger sister after the death of his parents.
His reaming of the Senate Judiciary Democrats during the Kavanaugh hearings was epic.
Off topic but I am all for a Constitutional amendment that bans anybody who is 70 or older on Election Day from running for federal office..
Senate Republicans add Lindsey Graham to standing conference call with Mitch McConnell.
On sudden early death. I’m 79+ and take no medications, have never spent a day in the hospital. On June 6th my appendix ruptured. I thought I had pulled an ab muscle loading and unloading bags of mulch. I waited two days before going to the hospital. I was in for ten days on massive antibiotics and fluids. Based on comments from the doctors, I could have gone either way and was close to going the wrong way. I still have my ruptured appendix and a cathater drain in my ab. So, yeah, a short illness can kill you.

“Lindsey Graham taught me that it was okay to be dead.” ~ Mitch McConnell
There are only about a half dozen--dozen tops--of Senators that you can pick out of a line-up. He was a Senate notable and most notably so during the Kavanaugh hearings. He deserves a great deal of praise for the way he handled that......There are some issues that are starkly black and white, and he was on the right side of that issue and in the right way. I don't think Elizabeth Warren was as eloquent in her defense McRapey.
"a half dozen--dozen tops--of Senators"
Lindsay was a bottom
When I saw the news, I wondered which of our commenters would make asses of themselves, and the results are mostly as expected:
First out of the gate, Jaq (7:59am), who encourages suspicions that he's really 'Timofei in Voronezh' by mixing up South and North Carolina. Many Americans mix up the two Dakotas, but nearly all find the Carolinas very different. It is refreshing to see him whining about Israel instead of Ukraine, though Lindsey was just back from Kyiv.
Next comes 'Michael' (9:10am), whoever he is, with a tasteless gay joke.
RCOCEAN II makes up for a late start (9:48am) with a whole string of vicious and stupid posts, starting with a whopper of a lie in the first: "Killing Russians" is not "the murder or killing of innocents", it is an attempt to stop said killing. Russia bombs apartment blocks every night and drones minibuses and civilian cars every day, timing both to increase the casualties. They call the latter "human safari". They rape, torture, murder, and sometimes behead prisoners and civilians, and violate every single provision of the Laws of War, often posting their crimes on social media for the approval of civilians back home. Ukraine strikes only military targets. And the Russian soldiers are nearly all volunteers, so not innocent at all.
Finally, Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ has made a series of unfunny "jokes" starting at 10:35am.
I am pleased and perhaps slightly surprised to see that DINKY DAU 45 (10:52am) is capable of fundamental decency.
I'm not getting the 'obese' thing about Graham. His infamous Disney bubble wand pics from just 4 months ago are not pics of a fat guy:
https://www.tmz.com/2026/03/30/lindsey-graham-enjoys-disney-ride-during-government-shutdown/#google_vignette
A pic of him in Ukraine two days ago is maybe a little hefty, but not obese - hard to tell in a suit:
https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15971771/Mystery-swirls-Lindsay-Graham-sudden-death-Ukraine-Iran.html
Where are we getting this 'obesity' thing from? CC, JSM
At least we won't have to listen to the 'Miss Lindsey' slur for much longer.
john mosby (11:30am):
As with Trump almost anywhere, Graham visiting Ukraine may well have been wearing body armor, making him look fatter than he was. Alexander Dugin was calling for him to be "flattened" just 4 months ago, and Iran had posters calling for him to be killed in the last week, so it would have been a reasonable precaution. And not just for aimed bullets, but flying shrapnel from Russian missiles and drones.
"RCOCEAN II makes up for a late start (9:48am) with a whole string of vicious and stupid posts, "
You're just lucky - that was before my usual morning coffee.
This just in: Lindsey graham claims he and Mitch McConell had a 20 minute conversation on Senate affairs. "We're both dialed in" said Miss Lindsey "But the heat is intense".
Just to clarify, celebrating someone's death seems forgivable if the dead person is so vicious as to be utterly unredeemable. I figure there are 20-30 people in the world at any given time whose deaths I will feel entitled to celebrate with a hearty "Roast in Hell!". However, every one of them is either a brutal mass-murdering tyrant, or a literal serial killer or mass murderer. I was glad when Ceausescu was shot and when Saddam was hanged, and when Jeffrey Dahmer was murdered in jail, when Ted Bundy was electrocuted, and when Charles Manson died in prison. (I would have been gladder if the last hadn't been of natural causes). I will be glad when Assad and Putin and Son of Sam and Dylann Roof die. What can I say? I'm not perfect, and these seem to me venial sins.
But I draw the line at elected leaders, and will find it very easy not to celebrate when Biden, or Obama, or Bill Clinton, or even Hillary Clinton goes, though the last may cause some mental strain and tightened jaw muscles. It amazes me that so many here, and on Twitter, are so openly inhuman.
New Senate term limit enforcement in progress.
So if they keep McConnell 'alive' for another three weeks or so, they can keep a special election from happening, which might very well make the man Israel spent $35 million defeating him in his House primary, a US Senator for five months.
Why does RCOCEAN II hate Ukraine so much that he feels entitled to lie about it? Most likely because the top two Jewish heads of state in the world are Netanyahu and Zelenskyy.
Too many long flights? I've had some issues with Lindsey Graham over the years, but only a few. Mostly, even when I disagreed with him I admired his strong stands and seemingly non-stop energy running around to insert himself into the Big Fights. And there's this: agree with his backing Israel and Ukraine or not, he will be missed as a strong GOP Senator when we have so few of them. He was willing to put on the gloves and fight for things. And again, we have so few of them. And he sharp, a smart man.
He died too young. May he rest in peace.
We all know that 'Jaq' and 'imTay' (and 'Tim in Vermont') are the same person: he has (they have?) admitted it. Still, even though the regulars here know that, posting under both names on the same day in the same thread seems utterly contemptible. Make up your mind, Timofei, stick to the same name for at least a month at a time, and announce it when you decide to change.
Glad you’re still with us, Charlie Currie!
I don't know about contemptible, since everybody knows I am the same person, but I usually try not to do it, but it's a device thing, and it's a PIA to get my email if I keep switching it. BTW, I used to live in Vermont, now I just visit.
What's with the name calling, BTW, it's just a confession of a weak argument. At least try to be clever.
If one take aphorism? Seriously... Then " Keep Your Enemies Closer " ... <> Close friends could easily be nasty enemies

Those Russian soldiers are at least fighting in the war they support and not arm chair soldiers like you who are cowards bathing in the blood of people braver than you are.
"AMDG said...

I agree and would add that, if you run for election younger than 70 but the term of office (2, 4, or 6 yrs) you hope to win ends with you being over 70, that's your last election.
71 is young to me but my genes make 90 a possibility. I remember reading when Jim Fixx died there was discussion that he did die young but lived years longer than other family members.
"With so-called conservatives like RCOCEAN II, who needs fucking liberals?"
It's almost like his intention is to make conservatives look bad, innit?
I am watching with annoyance the constant appeal ti Graham's "greatest moment" when he fought for Brett Kavanaugh.
And Brett Kavanaugh has betrayed the country multiple times with one of his most egregious treasons finding birthright citizenship in the 14th amendment.
Please find another "greatest moment" for Graham. Stop being stupid.
Senator Lindsey Graham was a statesman. I hope that Donald Trump was not the last person he talked to and that the person who called 911 was someone who loved him.
Graham wasnt a conservative he was a neo-con. He was part of the Mccain's Gang of 14 that kept the filibuster for the appeals court and let the Democrats keep conservative justices off the appellete Court.
He was against MAGA in 2015/2016 and called Trump a racist and bigot. He was a massive Amnesty supporter. He wanted J6 protesters "shot in the head". He applauded Lt. Byrd who killed Ashli Babbit and called him a hero.
He was against getting rid of the filibuster and supported keeping the Senate in permenant session so Trump cant make recess appointments.
And he was in favor of non-stop wars. He was Mark Levin's favorite senator. And David French and Jonah Goldberg loved him too. He was everything wrong with the Republican party.
If he was a "Conservative" then you'll understand why Trump and MAGA aren't.
McCain didn't give a damn about South Carolina but he sure loved Israel and Ukraine.
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the late senator was a “beloved” friend of his, one of Israel’s “greatest friends” and an American “great patriot,” who “understood that the security of Israel and America are inseparable” and “devoted his life to defending America, strengthening our alliance and standing up for the free world.”
Isaac Herzog, president of Israel, said something similar—that Graham was a “great American patriot, a true friend of Israel and a dear personal friend.”
Here's Zelensky:
"Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer.
He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week."
Wonder when Miss Lindsey had time to think about South Carolina instead of being a self-appointed Secretary of state.
RCOCEAN, do you think your life will be that much better with Graham dead? Better at all?
No doubt I could have phrased my comment better. My contempt for Jaq/imTay/Timofei is not only for his name-changing, but for his sneering at a man who's been dead for less than a day because he supported Israel. Supporting Israel against the genocidal subhumans trying to destroy it (Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaida, ISIS, and the puppet master Iran) seems like a no-brainer to me. That people on the other side can't even treat it as a subject on which honest men may disagree amazes me.
"McCain didn't give a damn about South Carolina but he sure loved Israel and Ukraine." Did RCOCEAN II write "McCain" when he meant "Graham" or "South Carolina" when he meant "Arizona"? Who can tell? When you have to pause to wipe the spittle off your lips, you tend to make these errors.
Poor stupid Thersites, who calls himself 'Achilles', dredges up the old 'chickenhawk' argument. I am not in fact eligible to serve in the U.S. or Ukrainian armed forces. They have minimum and maximum standards for age and height, minimums for health, and (in Ukraine's case) they only take honorably-discharged veterans. Which of these disqualify me is none of his business, but I am in fact disqualified. Why doesn't he serve? Perhaps because foul-mouthed morons are also ineligible.
Achilles,
Kavanaugh said the 14th Amendment didn’t bestow birthright citizenship. He said the statute did.
Dr. Weevil, I had much the same thought reading the responses. Events like this really allow people to reveal themselves. The worst commenters were entirely predictable. And DINKY DAO was a pleasant surprise. I’ve been living an isolated hermits life (albeit with Starlink) in rural Ireland the last few weeks and my interest in and tolerance for American political bile has really dropped. Of course, I’m still reading Althouse, just less of it.
The Senate Democrats and the MSM are in deep shock over "conservative" Grahams death. MTP just devoted a whole show to him. They even had Trump on and let him speak without the usual constant interuptions and "gotcha" questions.
Margaret Brennan of "face the nation" wrote about how she had talked to Miss Lindsey twice on Friday while he was in Kiev. Miss Lindsey has estatic because he and Sen. Blumenthal thought their new Russian sanctions were going to pass.
Durbin praised Miss Lindsey for his unflagging support for Amnesty and "the dream act". Sen Shieff on MTP said the same thing, and praised how Bi-partisan Miss Lindsey was. Why whenever you wanted to support massive immigration or to help illegals Miss lindsey was there!
>Dr Weevil said...

Whoops. You might want to batten down your hatches, Dr Weevil (assuming Achilles sees that). I could be thinking of someone else here, but I'm pretty sure that he is an Iraq or Afghan veteran.
RCOCEAN, do you think your life will be that much better with Graham dead? Better at all?
What a childish way to look at politics. Unlike you, I actually care about the country and what we do overseas. Its not about me.
So yes. Its better for the world and the USA in particular that Miss Lindsey no longer in the Senate. Too bad he just didn't retire and go live in Tel Aviv or Kiev, but like McCain and McConnell the only way to get them out was feet first.
My God, be a friend to rcocean2 or he will stomp you into the ground with twenty posts and call you miss lindsey.

I already served in two wars that a piece of shit like you supported but never fought in.
There were many people in Iraq and Afghanistan that I tried to kill who were better people than you.
There were also a lot of animals that shitheads like you wouldn't let me kill.
Pieces of shit like you who don't understand war and the soldiers involved should just shut the fuck up and stop cheering for it if you are going to lie and talk out of your ass. Anyone who defends Zelenksy and the Ukrainian thieves that have stolen billions of dollars that we sent to Ukraine is just a terrible person. Zelensky is feeding a generation of men to slaughter so he can suck up the foreign aid dollars and buy golden toilets and send his wife shopping in Europe.
You really are just an annoying terrible person.
And RCOCEAN II just can't stop gay-bashing the guy whose body is hardly cold. As Old and slow says, totally revealing and entirely predictable.
I'm leaving for the day but boy its been a great one. The great warmonger, the man who wished death on thousands, is now dead. There truly is a God. Next up: Mitch McConnell another awful person.
And here's Thersites, right on cue, repeating filthy, bald-faced lies. He thinks I'm somehow responsible for restrictive rules of engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan? I had no more control over them than he did! And I was not in fact eligible to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan. Not to mention we've had an all-volunteer army for a very long time, so anyone who did serve can only blame himself: it's not like he was drafted to fill a slot some draft-dodger should have filled. We have no draft!
As for being annoying, I like annoying 'Achilles', who is shamefully, ignorantly, stupidly wrong in every single thing he writes about Ukraine.
Arguably the reason Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed for the Supreme Court.
Lindsey Graham's finest moment.
I didn't like him much, but I don't want to get into that now. Roger Kimball adapted and reused his attacks on Mailer and Sontag when they died and doing so seemed to me to be in poor taste, also a bit self-aggrandizing.

Funny how you can't point to a single thing I have been wrong about. Dozens of people in Zelensky's administration have been fired for corruption and it is known that billions of our tax dollars have been stolen by these corrupt maidan pieces of shit.
You aren't just a coward, you are also a dishonest piece of shit.
The DJT and Graham duo were soul mates at a level seldom seen in politics. Sorry to see that team broken up
"Dozens of people in Zelenskyy's administration have been fired for corruption" because Zelenskyy is in fact cleaning up the corruption that was endemic in every post-Soviet state. He is not in fact corrupt. The man with the solid-gold toilet was an entirely different person who was not even a government official. Why did you say it was Zelenskyy? Because you're a damned liar.
As for Mrs. Zelenskyy's shopping trips, Kyiv is bombed and droned every single night, and her husband is busy damned near round the clock. Why shouldn't she get out of the country for a mental-health break every now and then, instead of spending 365 nights a year in a bomb shelter? Zelenskyy was worth at least $10,000,000 before he ran for office - he was the most popular TV star in a poor but fairly large country and had a production company, too. If his wife buys nice clothes in Paris, he's perfectly capable of paying for them out of his salary or previous savings. It's not like the two of them are spending any money at the symphony or opera or eating in restaurants.
Every single negative thing you repeat about Ukraine is Russian propaganda designed for gullible saps like you, who gobble it right up. Those who investigate invariably find that they are lies, and can often trace them right back to the Russian sources that planted them. The mansion he supposedly bought in Miami? My subletter at the time was entirely apolitical, but born in Miami, so she looked into it: it took her 15 minutes to figure out that it was a lie, and who the actual owner of the house was.
Have "billions of our tax dollars" been stolen in Ukraine? Last time someone (Time in Vermont, I think) tried to prove it, the best story he could find was about how 500 guns (not from the US) were stolen from a warehouse by a Ukrainian brigade (that desperately needed them to fight with) when they were supposed to be for a different brigade. Bad, but not even corrupt (no money changed hands) and nothing to do with the US.
When someone (TiV again, most likely) was claiming that active-duty US troops were fighting in Ukraine, he pointed to a government report that there were ~60 US troops in Ukraine. That's not enough to make a difference in a war on this scale, but It turned out that every single one of them was either a Marine guard at the embassy, or a military auditor counting all our aid to make sure it made it to the front lines.
The fact is that anyone who takes the trouble to find out what is actually going on in Ukraine knows that it has no resemblance whatsoever to your stupid second-hand lies.
P.S. Any veteran who thinks he can call any other male who is not a veteran "coward" for not being a veteran, without knowing anything about his age or state of health, is an absolute swine.
It's not surprising that RC is happy to see someone who defends Israel dead. Once again, RC is the kind of guy who would gladly have volunteered to be a camp guard at Treblinka. And, no doubt, he wants to have that chance again as the world turns more evil.
I disagreed a lot with Lindsey Graham on a lot of things. That said, he also was pretty solid in a lot of areas. I never thought Sen. Graham was the kind of guy who hated America and wanted us all dead or slaves, unlike the majority of Democrats. So Rest in Peace, Senator Graham, and may God have mercy on your soul.
He's obviously being buried in a closet instead of a coffin, right?
Althouse, how much longer are you going to inflict us with RCO’s antisemitic hatred?

Please use the comments forum to respond to the post. Don't fight with each other. Be substantive... or interesting... or funny. Comments should go up immediately... unless you're commenting on a post older than 4 days. Then you have to wait for us to moderate you through. It's also possible to get shunted into spam by the machine. We try to keep an eye on that and release the miscaught good stuff. We do delete some comments, but not for viewpoint... for bad faith. Also: No italics, even briefly. Use asterisks for emphasis. And don't play with the format by changing fonts or using boldface or all caps. Never include more than one extra line break between paragraphs.
