He's one of the most prominent members of the MAGA era republicans and has also been one of the most vocally pro Isreal genocide. There's quite a few people in Congress that deserve to be hated as much and probably more than him, but very few that are as well known. When you decide to attach your face so prominently to such unpopular ideas people are gonna hate you. I'm one of them, I'm an atheist but I hope there's a hell for him to burn in just like all the other Republicans who have abandoned any sense of decency or patriotism to support the orange one, they all know he's a selfish evil monster. In his own words he described what would happen before he decided to bend the knee
He certainly had no real integrity. I remember his multiple flips. He was not money driven, but he was very much power driven. I was somewhat surprised that he was able to survive with the electorate with his constant flipping and obvious insincerity. It seems like he had no one that really loved him as a human.
we have a former game show host as president. what are the constitutionally mandated qualities that she lacks?
DEI hires are apparently bad but nepotism isnt. Conservatism hypocrisy If this lady with no experience can become a senator just by being blood related, experience seems overrated. More younger folks should run for office
The good thing I can think of for this choice is that there will soon by a quick process to decide who the Republican candidate will be for the general election-- and de facto who will be the next Senator, since the Republicans will obviously win. If the governor appointed someone with qualifications to take the interim spot, that person could run in the primary with a quasi-incumbency advantage. He would have the chance, at least, to get free press by making waves in the Senate. So, if you want a genuinely open primary, you fill the spot with someone who won't credibly run in the primary. A nonpolitical, unqualified person gives you that. You can't pick any Joe Blow for that role or else the public will wonder why that guy. It has to be some sort of symbolic pick that ties that the person to the role on something other than merit. Beloved sister isn't meritocratic but it's not random. What's more, to whatever extent she is asked to cast votes, she will probably do her best to vote as she thinks her brother would have voted (for Trump, obviously).
Lindsey Graham's legacy boils down to this: 1) warmongering 2) anti-gay 3) trump's b**** I have good reason to think he was the nicest person on Capitol Hill, but also the most morally hollow, which is really saying something.
Politics Paramedics Praised For Being Too Late To Save Lindsey Graham Published: July 13, 2026 WASHINGTON—Emphasizing that every second counted during a cardiac episode, doctors on Monday praised first responders for being too late to save Lindsay Graham from an aortic dissection. “Paramedics had a very short window to save Sen. Graham, and thankfully they did not make it in time,” said George Washington University Hospital cardiologist Dr. Eric Fallstaff, who suggested that EMTs should receive special commendations for arriving at the four-term Republican senator’s house long after they could have successfully delivered life-saving care. “In cases as severe as this, the only way to save a patient is through open-heart surgery. Thankfully, by the time 911 dispatchers even got the call, medical intervention would have been futile.” Fallstaff went on to praise his fellow doctors’ bravery and quick thinking for pronouncing Graham dead shortly after.
The main concern is that 1. Congress folx seem to have d*mn near life time appointments . . Elections are just rubber stamps 2. Now they are inheriting seats? Rocket River
I appreciated his thought that principle and compromise are not mutually exclusive. We'd all do well to remember that.
