Media ghouls, commentators across political aisle mock Lindsey Graham’s death with ‘good riddance’ posts
I expected these responses from the left. Sadly, I'm seeing so-called Christian conservatives on X expressing similar sentiments, including allegations he was evil and the "most libera" of the Republicans in Congress.  :shrug:

FBI is ‘assisting’ police after 71-year-old Lindsey Graham’s mysterious death one day after secret Ukraine trip and chilling Iran ‘murder plot’

By VICTORIA CHURCHILL, US POLITICAL REPORTER

Published: 11:14 EDT, 12 July 2026 | Updated: 13:10 EDT, 12 July 2026

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has stepped in to 'assist' local authorities in the wake of Lindsey Graham's unexpected death, adding to mounting skepticism surrounding the US Senator's sudden passing at 71. 

The office of Graham, who had represented South Carolina since 2002, announced in the early hours of Sunday that the senator had 'passed away from a brief and sudden illness.'

. . .

This makes sense, because the FBI has better labs and anything less will feed a thousand conspiracy theories, which is already happening!

What are the chances he was poisoned by the Russians or someone sympathetic to the Russians?

They do have a reputation for using exotic poisons that are difficult to detect and mimic "natural" causes of death.

DVT would be an obvious suspected cause, but also a convenient cover for an assassination by poison.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is sure changing. Graham, Cornyn, Tillis, Durbin, Klobuchar… meanwhile, Grassley keeps ticking.
Good observation.  Without controlling the House, Senate, Executive or SCOTUS, Libs only have justices delivering power on their behalf and that Committee stands in the way of giving them a free ride to deliver up even more.

I was never much of a fan of Lindsey, but his vote for the most part was very dependable.  I'm sorry for his friends and family.  I pray he knew the Lord.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Litvinenko?  Look for Polonium 210 in the PM.

You can bet the FBI is going to go through the Blood chemistry with a fine tooth comb.  Question is, will we be told if it comes up dirty?

I love a good conspiracy as much as the next guy/gal, but I wouldn't think this is so far out of the norm that it would inherently be suspicious. I'm sure there will be a thorough autopsy, but prior to any other evidence being uncovered, I agree that a DVT is the most likely cause.

I expected these responses from the left. Sadly, I'm seeing so-called Christian conservatives on X expressing similar sentiments, including allegations he was evil and the "most libera" of the Republicans in Congress.  :shrug:

Have only to check FR TOS for verification.

Meanwhile they excuse Trump endlessly for loving Graham, while hating on the latter.
Common sense is an uncommon virtue.
