[demmiblue]

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

1. Kick

[mr715]

2. Glad he's saying it.

I certainly agree with Officer Fanone's perspective here.

[BannonsLiver]

3. Yep. Fuck Lindsey Graham.

[Solly Mack]

4. Two examples of how horrible Graham was in life.

All to prop up Trump's lies about January 6th.

[SheltieLover]

28. The power of kompromat?

[Solly Mack]

31. Honestly? I don't put a lot of stock in members of government being blackmailed to do bad things.

Not saying it isn't possible. Just saying I don't think of it as a "go-to" explanation for bad behavior.

[SheltieLover]

32. I only do with kraznov

[Solly Mack]

34. Trump would definitely blackmail anyone he could. I think Graham bent toward the bad regardless.

[SheltieLover]

40. I'd pondered how slobby found so many dirtbags

Came to the conclusion they are/were all trumpstein customers. Makes sense to me. They all have dirt on each other. Sort of trauma bonded to one another.

[Martin68]

5. Yes, he was a worthless scumbag without a human bone in his body.

[surfered]

6. "Enough, enough. Count me out!" Graham's Senate floor speech after Jan 6th

But then he drank the Kool Aid again.

[SCantiGOP]

13. And a comment from Feb 2016

“I think he’s a kook. I think he’s crazy….If we nominate Trump we will be destroyed, and we will deserve it.”

[surfered]

14. 👍

[Pinback]

36. Make it so. (nt)

[bdamomma]

41. Well,

Lindsay was destroyed, he fell for Trump's BS.

[twodogsbarking]

7. I never had an encounter with Graham Cracker but if I had I would've quoted from one of the great philosophers.

[LilElf70]

8. I would take Fanone

over Graham ANY DAY, as a human being,

I have never been a fan of Graham.

[KPN]

9. If there is a hell, he is in it. Though St. Peter may be dragging out the judgement a bit just for grins.,

[fujiyamasan]

10. Like others the media has tried to make martyrs of like Charlie Kirk

Graham was a truly vile and nasty person.

Fuck him and this hagiographical bullshit we will all be fed now.

[Grim Chieftain]

11. He certainly sold his soul to the devil

He went from fierce critic of Trump to enabler. We can speculate why, but we'll likely never know.

Regardless, his true character came through in his treatment of the officers who stood up to the criminals on January 6. That will be a stain on Lindsey Graham for all eternity.

[Iggo]

15. Um...we don't do that here.

[angrychair]

16. I endorse and support this message n/t

...

[usaf-vet]

17. Roger THAT!!

[Mme. Defarge]

18. One word comes to mind when I think of Graham.

Kompromat.

[BattleRow]

19. Was he in the Epstein files?Asking for a friend...

[PatSeg]

24. I've thought that for years

I've never seen anyone switch loyalties so quickly and completely.

[SheltieLover]

27. Absoloutely!

[sfdennis1]

20. The best

One of the best Graham eulogies I’ve seen. 10/10 no notes.

[Catherine Vincent]

21. Interesting

I didn't know that happened. Horrible what Graham said to that woman.

[blue_jay]

22. Wow, didn't know that happened. nt

[WiVoter]

23. Righteous and Perfect

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. I second that statement. Let's vote on it.

[SheltieLover]

26. Well stated!

[Ziggysmom]

29. He was united to Trump as a Putin lover.

Remember the 2016 GOP presidential primary, Graham actually spoke the truth and called Cheeto a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He told the red repug voters to tell Trump to go to hell & the GOP would be sorry and destroyed if it nominated Trump.

Amazing how he had a change of heart. Even though he had no heart, and disrespected the police who were injured and killed because of dump inciting violence on January 6th.

[Renew Deal]

30. It's hard to overlook the terrible way he ended his life.

Sold his soul and didn’t live long enough to reap the benefits.

[VeryProgressive]

33. Good for Michael Fanone

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[calimary]

35. WOW.

OUCH! Powerful indeed.

[democratsruletheday]

37. well said Officer....

Graham was trash. Don't believe me? Trump sang his praises right after bragging that he was the last POS Graham talked to before vapor locking. World is a better place today.

[Takket]

38. Thank you for posting

I am glad Graham is dead and I feel no shame saying it. He was a horrible person who sold out his voters and his country to be a stooge for drumpf. He caused suffering for many and I hope his death brings some measure of peace to those hurt by him.

[gordianot]

39. I celebrate the death of all Trump enablers!

That would include a few little few relatives and my former best friend.

[red dog 1]

42. K&R

[Cha]

43. Excellent summation of the

toady Graham.

TY and Michael Fanone
