Lindsey Graham, a staunch Trump ally and longtime GOP fixture, dies

The news of the unexpected death sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill and
added uncertainty to an already chaotic political year.

WASHINGTON − South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of President Donald
Trump’s staunchest allies, died on July 11 from a tear in his main artery caused by hardened
arteries, his office said in a statement. He was 71.

Preliminary medical examination findings determined that Graham died of an "aortic dissection"
caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, according to the senator's office. An aortic
dissection is a tear in the main artery that carries blood from the heart.

Graham's office originally announced that he died from a "brief and sudden illness." In an
interview with Reuters, Trump said he spoke to Graham "minutes" before the lawmaker was taken
ill and ruled out any foul play.

Emergency personnel said they were conducting CPR on a man suffering from cardiac arrest at
Graham's home in Washington on Saturday night, according to public safety radio feeds reviewed
by USA TODAY.

RIP Senator.  You left a lasting mark on this country, and I for one appreciate your work, dedication and accomplishments.

You seem to display zero respect for anyone.

Posting jokes the day after he died is never in good taste, and is completely disrespectful.

But, I get it. Some of us have no impulse control whatsoever.

He was a member of the Epstein baby-eating deep state

You need better heroes

"Baby-eating?"  WTF does that even mean?

You need better mind reading skills.  Show me where I ever said Graham was my hero.

And where's your evidence he was one of Epstein's regulars?

A consensus on the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files gained significant
traction Sunday morning as Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) weighed in
on the ongoing discussion during an interview on NBC’s "Meet the Press" with
Kristen Welker.

Graham expressed his strong support for making as much information public
as possible, aligning with House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) stance on
prioritizing victim protection.

"Yeah, I like what the speaker said. I'm on board with Speaker Johnson to
release as much as you can, protecting victims the best you can," said Graham.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but you aren't entitled to your own facts.

Why do you feel the need to crap on this thread?  Did you not hit your quota for the month?

He always seemed relatively healthy for his age.  I thought McConnell would be the one highlighted in the news, not Graham.

And heart attacks are just that: sudden and coming out of nowhere.  A history of heart attacks in the family and the fact that he had a long flight to Ukraine probably compounded the situation.

But you know me, I love a good conspiracy theory.

My guess is he got word from Gates/Epstein not to take the real vax and instead got a saline shot for the cameras. He was too valuable for the deep state agenda.

On the other hand have you noticed that when Russian politicians get assassinated and infrastructure gets blown up by "Ukrainians" it's not long after until we have another case of "mysterious circumstances" here at home?

It's almost like there's a hot war going on but our government does not want to admit how vulnerable we are.
