Wilde was correct: "Some men improve the world only by leaving it."

Glad to see it being told like it is- dying doesn’t make you a hero

DEFINE IGNOMINY!

Lindsay scuttled his own moral judgement.

Graham and Mconnel rotted within from their sellout subservient treachery to the Republic.

May all the treasonous GOP follow.

He died a good death! Thats all it matters. There was no 'karma'. He didnt live to see any damages if he believed in them.

Trump will be the same. No repurcussions, a good ending, family all set, pardoned, etc.

Do not for a second believe your country men had no say in it, they had all the say.

I hope this is widely read for people to understand that Mr. Graham was opportunistic and duplicitous, no friend to the nation and certainly not to his former comrades. Hopefully his passing will remove a mouthpiece for promotion of the unitary executive among many other plots.

A couple key examples of who he had become when he died and what he said that illustrates his duplicity.

β€œIn July of 2015, when Donald Trump insulted John McCain by saying that being captured did not make a man a war hero, Graham β€” McCain’s closest friend in the Senate and, as of Saturday, the last survivor of what Graham, McCain, and Joe Lieberman had called the Three Amigos β€” went on television and called Trump β€œa jackass.” Then, on CBS the next morning, he called him β€œthe world’s biggest jackass.” Then, in December of that year, after Trump proposed banning Muslims from entering the United States, Graham went on CNN and said, in one of the more direct sentences an American senator has delivered on camera:

β€œYou know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell. He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.” β€œ

β€œHe was right. That is the difficulty for his tributes. These were the settled judgments of a man speaking deliberately. He identified precisely what Donald Trump was, in public, on national television, in the sentences of a man who understood what he was seeing and understood the danger and had the words available to name it. He called Trump a demagogue. He called him unfit for office. He said, on the day Trump effectively secured the nomination in May of 2016,

β€œIf we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed, and we will deserve it.” He said conservatism as a movement would take generations to recover from Trump’s damage. He said, in the primary that year, that choosing between Trump and Cruz was like choosing between being shot and being poisoned. He said, of the possibility that he might be Trump’s running mate, that it would be β€œlike buying a ticket on the Titanic.” β€œ

Once you enter the world of β€œold,” you realize 71 is on the young side to die.

A sudden, nameless illness sounds…odd
