Why does it feel like we're about to get stabbed in the back?

Starting to be more of the position that the GOP needs to start telling him "NO".  It wouldn't take much to force him into lame duck status.

Lindsey’s sister. A placeholder.

Lindsey Graham left behind modest wealth despite decades in Washington’s elite circles
Graham held nearly all assets in mutual funds and government bonds, avoiding stock trading controversies
By Robert Schmad Fox News
Published July 13, 2026 10:51am EDT

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham served in Congress for more than three decades, but public disclosure estimates show he died with a modest net worth compared to many of his longtime Washington colleagues.

The senator died with a net worth of about $1.4 million, with congressional disclosures from May showing a lower-end estimate of just over $600,000 and an upper estimate of a little more than $2.2 million, according to financial disclosures he filed in May. Despite serving in Congress for 31 years, Graham ranked at 294th in wealth among the 535 voting members of Congress, according to data from the Quiver Quantitative.

Graham died at age 71, meaning that his net worth at the end was relatively normal. Individuals between the ages of 65 and 74 have an average net worth of $1.79 million and a median net worth of $409,900, according to Fidelity.

Graham won the primary, there will be a GOP Senator taking his place.

Darlene is there to rubberstamp everything Trump needs w/out questioning.

She meets all Constitutional qualification standards.

Probably more than most of The Squad.

Thune: ‘Makes a Lot of Sense’ for Lindsey Graham’s Sister to Serve as Interim Senator

On Monday, on CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said it “makes a lot of sense” for South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to appoint Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister as interim senator.

In the Senate Chamber this afternoon, Sen. Lindsey Graham’s desk is draped in a black cloth, with a bouquet of white roses sitting in a simple glass bowl.

The Senate is set to gavel into session in less than 30 mins, its first meeting since Graham died.

The notion of making Lindsey Graham's sister the acting senator of South Carolina until the elections in November is a nice gesture, but not in the best interest of the Republican Party, or the country for that matter.  That position should go to whoever is perceived by the governor to be the most likely candidate to win in November against the Democommies. 

The Republican majority is so fragile presently that doing nice things versus strategic things makes no sense.  The Democommies could well seize control of both houses of our DO NOTHING CONGRESS, and the next two years will be replete with nonstop impeachment efforts, and little else.

Trump's Iran War, the worst aw-shit I have seen in decades, may well return the Republicans where they prefer to be, a minority.  Actually 2nd worst, for the fixed election and end of our republic in 2020 was the worst, yet no one is the least concerned about that disgrace.

To Darline Graham Nordone,

In this moment of profound loss and historic responsibility, may Providence grant you the strength, wisdom, and courage to carry forward the legacy of your brother, Lindsey Graham.

You have been called to serve at a difficult hour, not only as a public servant, but as a sister carrying the memory of someone you loved deeply. May you find comfort in knowing that his life of service, conviction, and dedication to our nation leaves behind a lasting example.

May God give you the resolve to rise each morning with purpose, to stand firm in your convictions, and to be the brave and happy warrior that this moment demands. May you carry Lindsey’s spirit of perseverance, his love of country, and his commitment to the principles he believed in.

The Senate is not just a chamber of politics. It is a place where the future of our Republic is debated and shaped. May you enter it with humility, courage, and faith, knowing that you do not walk alone.

May Providence guide your decisions, strengthen your heart, and bless your service to the people of South Carolina and to America.

May Lindsey’s memory be a source of inspiration, and may his legacy live on through the work you now undertake.

God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
