Perfectly articulated.

Graham is just another example of how denying who you really are only leads to misery, and misery loves company. His misery allowed him to deny the humanity of the LGBTQ community and other vulnerable communities, as well. It is a sad ending for a sad, pathetic person.

Sakina, I couldn't agree more.

I couldn't believe how he betrayed John McCain.

Senator Lindsay Graham leaves behind him a life of hypocrisy, bigotry and cruelty.

I understand that it’s not nice to talk bad about the dead.

However, I wish our representatives would have the good taste to just be silent.

Or as Bette Davis said:

“ you should never say bad things about the dead, only good.”

(Lindsay Graham) is dead.

“Good.”

ya know, Roy Cohn was enough for my life-time, but NOOOOO! We have all of these self-loathing queers. Out.every.single.one.of.them.

Lindsey Graham was a gutless self hating closeted gay man who did his damndest to ruin the lives of those of us in the LGBTQ community. I hope he’s spinning on a spit in the deepest bowels of hell.

Graham was so typical of a pathetic man attempting to hide his “real” self … a sad indictment of society & the political climate at present. He betrayed himself and the people who voted for him. All the false & hypocritical tributes to Graham reflect the dishonesty of our political system .

Even worse than Graham Cracker's rampant homophobia was that he sent thousands of young Americans to be killed and wounded in the wars that he was a cheerleader for. All so his defense contractor buddies could make a lot of money. Not to mention him and 25 other senators voted to block burn pit legislation in 2022. Frankly the only good thing about him is that he's dead.

Great analysis, and spot on, IMO. I would just add that it shows how craven all the other politicians are. As you said, McCain was a homophobe, but he surely knew Graham was gay. yet he still mentored him and helped him gain favor. All the anti-gay MAGA politicians knew or at at least suspected he was gay, and still they were happy to support him so long as he supported them.

And this is a great lesson for how power works in Washington. This proves to me that all these anti-gay politicians are either just performative to get votes, or if true believers, will still put power above their own ethics and beliefs to gain power.

Which is really scary. It shows that all these people only care about power. Nothing more.

If you kiss up enough Trump won't judge you on any other criteria.

It seems like the only valuable lesson we can learn from his death is that if you're not well and people are telling you to get help, it's not a good idea to put it off. It's so crazy to me that people aren't more worried about their own mortality!

I wonder if Kash Patel's FBI is trying to desperately hide that stash of Lindsry's poppers and other paraphernalia they found at his residence?

Whether Graham was gay, straight, bisexual or even absexual, that means nothing to me; what does concern me is how Graham treated others , either through legislation or actual practice. In any case, I will not mourn his death.

He was a war hawk to the core and I believe however he self identified he enjoyed the idea of war maybe on a sexual level.

Jeff C.'s avatar

Even though he was nowhere near any war zone during his entire military career.

I couldn’t be happier this little disgusting asshole sucking prick is dead. One more to go.

Lindsey had one, make it two saving gracess.

One: he was in Ukraine's corner, and "coincidentally" died after coming back from a meeting with Zelenskyy. As Malcom Nance says, Coincidence takes a lot of planning.

Two: He was spot on about the Mullahcracy of Iran, an inhuman, corrupt, self aggrandizing cabal of self enriching religious freaks.

Freaks that hung young girls from construction cranes for not wearing a headscarf, and by machine gunning 30,000 to 50,0000 protestors (Jan 2026)

IMO, there were two reasons for this war on Iran

One, Bibi, falsely, believed that by decapitating the leadership, Iran would fall and/or Israel would remain the nuclear hegemon in the MidEast

Two: Trump believed that he would grab Iranian oil, the same ideation that Cheney and Dubya had when they invaded Iraq.

These people are idiots, and they control, controlled, the foreign policy and armed forces of this country.
