RIP Lindsey Graham

Post his last four tweets here and defend them.
Why should I defend them? He is perfectly entitled to say whatever he pleases. What puzzles me is your apparent inability to explain, beyond mere assertion, how those opinions somehow erase a lifetime of distinguished legal scholarship, judicial reasoning, and constitutional analysis. Condemnation is easy; refutation requires intellect. Thus far, you've supplied only the former.

If you think this Senator deserves to replace Graham or McConnel...prove it.
 
Your hatred has become the cataract through which you view the world. It distorts every fact, magnifies every suspicion, and renders objective thought impossible. When emotion occupies the bench, reason is denied the courtesy of a hearing. It's always painful to watch you argue with reality and lose.
Like during the 2020 election cycle? All these fraud cases brought before the courts, most cases denied for standing. Not one suit brought before the court was granted evidentiary hearings. Democrats think they won. It all coming out today.

You post them. I don't care what he might have said.

I said nothing about what he "deserves." You introduced that standard, not I. The more mundane explanation is that Senate seniority, coupled with an extraordinary legal resume and deep constitutional expertise, makes him a likely candidate to chair the Judiciary Committee. Politics often follows precedent more faithfully than emotion.

Sen Lee is a troll. He does not deserve to be the head of any committee .

You can't defend his bullshit, which is why you don't.

We have been right all along.
 
Looking at the "big picture" timeline, I can actually understand why Patel dispatched the FBI to investigate "foul play".

You had Graham making a lightning fast "there-and-back" trip to Ukraine. While there, he ripped the Russians in a highly publicized speech in Ukraine, put a spotlight on the Ukraine's phenomenal growth in all sorts of drone technology, then jumps on a plane immediately and flies home.

Within 24 hours of bashing the Putin regime publicly....he was dead.

The timing seems a bit too coincidental.

For whatever reason, Graham's staff did a 180-degree opposite of Mitch McConnell's team. They led with the classic public relations move "passed away after a short and unexpected illness" which is medical-speak for "the jabroni had a heart attack" but Patel translated into "He was POISONED by the RUSSKIES!".

Graham evidently had a lot of friends in DC and in the media and they all wanted to talk about him.

The Turtle, on the other hand, seemingly had no friends.

Your mind has become so thoroughly captive to hateful certainty that evidence no longer has standing in your Kangaroo court. It may knock, announce itself, and present impeccable credentials, but to see the verdict has already been rendered.

I read his shit every single day.

You ignoring it and thinking he's a genius is not my issue.

The Turtle is said to have many friends in the CCP.

His Dragon Lady concubine was wired into the moguls in China, who were kept on a very tight leash by the Chinese government. Trump may have had his big payday last year, but I have to think that the offshore bank accounts of McConnell and his wife likely contain hundreds of millions of dollars.
 
The refuge of those who confuse dismissal with a refutation. It's astonishing how often your certainty arrives unaccompanied by evidence.
Your histrionics forfeited the right to serious discussion years ago.
You've earned your position as the fourth most ignorant poster on the Political board.....and aging octogenarian buffoon Rebel5soul likely won't last much longer on the mortal plane.
 
Quote a tweet of his and defend it.

“Democracies,” it says, "have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

James Madison, Federalist Papers No. 10


The United States is not a pure democracy; it is a constitutional republic with democratic institutions. The Constitution nowhere describes the nation as a "democracy." Instead, it establishes a constitutional system of limited government, separation of powers, federalism, and representative government, with the Constitution, not a temporary majority, serving as the supreme law of the land. We incorporate democratic processes within our Constitutional framework. The term "democracy" is entirely absent from the text of the Constitution because the Republic was expressly designed as a constitutional republic to guard against the whims of the mob. The Framers held a deep, scholarly contempt for pure majoritarian rule, recognizing it as nothing more than a polite prelude to tyranny.

The only 'histrionics' here are you fabricating a flat-out lie against the completely wrong person. If you're going to launch an attack, put your fiction aside and produce actual evidence. Your entire narrative rests on assertion rather than fact, and you have yet to engage with the substance of the issues I've raised. Instead of refuting the evidence, you manufacture a fiction and hope it will distract from the absence of both argument and intellect.

He never said it was a pure democracy.

Democrats cannot differentiate between a democracy and a republic. One can lead to majority tyranny and the other is based on the protection of individual rights. Example, Biden democrats owned the WH, the house and the senate. They opened up our borders, violated immigration laws and conservative republicans were powerless to do anything about it. Border control didn’t require a vote, just an uncontested majority to break our laws and not hold anyone accountable. If Democrats ever hold the majorities along with the WH this republic will seize to exist. They will eliminate the filibuster rule, eliminate the electoral college, make DC and PR states, pack the court, eliminate prisons, defund police, abolish ICE and basically shitcan the constitution along with the senate and the executive branch. Just ask the DSA. 10 years ago this was pie in the sky bullshit but today, not so much. Moderate Democrats are cowards, they are literally surrendering their party to communists.

A little off topic but relevant to today’s economic crossroad. This, in my opinion, says a lot about today’s economic outlook and how Trump’s policies are attempting to bring back manufacturing. Worth watching in my opinion.

 
I was no fan of Lindsey Graham. Way too Establishment for my tastes. But no matter what you thought of him, there is a difference between celebrating a political victory and celebrating a person's death. Sympathies and condolences to his friends and family, including the new Senator from South Carolina, his younger sister.
