Does anyone remember Graham's slurs, lies, and distortions against Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson?

[lostincalifornia]

Graham falsely accused her of being soft on child pornography offenders, constantly interrupted her her during her confirmation hearing, slammed her for her work as a public defender, etc.

I wonder how many remember how graham slammed Zelensky after trump and vance
ambushed Zelensky in an Oval Office meeting saying Zelensky acted disrespectfully, ignoring of course how trump and vance both were trying to essentially sell Ukraine down the river to appease putin.

He lied that planned parenthood was harvest organs of the unborn, voted against the ACA subsidies, etc. etc. etc.

He was not a nice person, and there wasn't a war he didn't like.

While he probably succumbed from a heart attack based on preliminary observations, why his family or spokes people though it was a good idea to be so coy about the cause of his death makes no sense except to cloud the typical lack of transparency that the entire republican machinery constantly presents.

1. I remember when he was manager the impeachment of Bill Clinton and how self-righteous he was about sex scandals

It’s about cleansing the office. Remember, I’ll never forget that and the way he turned on Joe Biden. Still I think we have to respect the voters that went for him.

[lostincalifornia]

6. Why would I have to respect the voters that went for him?

[Walleye]

13. Because I think it's generally a good idea to respect the American voters when they get it right or not. It's the system

[niyad]

17. I respect the system, but I do not have to respect bigots, misogynists,

and general assholes.

[Walleye]

18. Unfortunately, there are plenty of those among Americans

[niyad]

26. Sadly true. And I despise every single one of them.

[ananda]

28. I can respect their right to vote, without respecting their despicable views.

AFAIC, voters who are racist and hateful deserve no respect,
although their right to vote must be defended because if
one person is disenfranchised, then everyone is.

[Walleye]

29. Exactly.

[JPK]

2. Well...

He was from South Carolina. What would you expect from someone from that state?

[lostincalifornia]

8. Representative Clyburn was from South Carolina.

[Pinback]

23. Stephen Colbert, too.

Pat Conroy. James Jamerson (great bassist who played on many Motown recording sessions). Dizzy Gillespie. Aziz Ansari. Chadwick Boseman. Bernard Baruch. Iron & Wine (Samuel Beam). Mary McLeod Bethune. James Brown (born in S.C., though he grew up in Augusta, Ga.). Peabo Bryson.

There are many more noteworthy and admirable South Carolinians, not all of them famous (including some of my best friends).

Thanks for your post.

[Skittles]

27. huh?

I had virtual coworkers in SC and I thought they were great people

[odins folly]

3. Don't forget

He also allegedly coached netanyahu how to get the orange shit gibbon to attack Iran for him…..

[FakeNoose]

4. He said those slimy things to prove to Chump that he was right there in the swamp with him

I haven't posted my favorite Lindsay gif, this might be the last time I post it....

5. Graham was the quintessential Republican...

... first and foremost, a pathological liar, an obsequious, ass-kissing weasel, a malicious bully, a slanderous pig, and a racist with the moral compass of a rabid hyena.
What's not to love?

[Cosmocat]

7. He was always a nutjob

Even in the 90s and early 2000s when the media worked so hard to paint him as a reasonable moderate.

He rode the Gingrich wave, with slightly softer edge when young and acting like McCain's younger brother.

But, it was there pretty clearly to me, and I have always thought he was low grade histrionic disordered - he liked the attention and glammed in and was variable in his positions. After McCain died and he started to become his own man, as he aged, it blossomed, And, I KNEW he would role over and be a simp to DT after his very short early histrionics.

[yardwork]

9. Histrionic is a good descriptor.

[BattleRow]

21. Usually a term applied to females..

But,although condescending,it could be quite apropos in this instance.

[yardwork]

25. I wasn't thinking that.

I'm gay myself. There are plenty of valid reasons to dislike Graham.

He is histrionic but not because he's gay.

[malaise]

10. Someone should remind Sen Cory Booker

Before he shows up on M$NOW in a few..
I’m only listening to the club for the record.
Graham would banish Booker to the cotton fields if he could,
The pretense and stupidity is unbearable.

[milestogo]

11. Worms will be eating Lindsey soon.

[BattleRow]

22. R.I P.

Rot in peace.

[dalton99a]

12. Graham was a typical Republican low life

[BaronChocula]

14. Little Ugly Lindsey and the Big Ugly Bill?

Thanks for the post. It's needed in the event anyone decides to honor him for his "willingness to work across the aisle." That extended hand always came after each time he somehow made life worse for millions of people.

[jimmy the one]

15. Grahams flip flopping on obama's merrick garland .. no text

[Martin68]

16. Yes I remember, and it is one of the many reasons I will never forgive him.

[RockCreek]

19. His "righteous" temper tantrum at the Kavanaugh hearings

I will never forget or forgive that one.

20. Well, son of a bitch.

For the past 2 hours in my mind I was thinking it was Mitch McConnell who died, and I was thinking he couldn't have been 71. But it was Lindsey Graham I guess he gets to get out of this world without admitting that he raped little boys with Trump on farms in Mississippi, fuck Lindsey Graham.
