Lindsey Graham, Republican Senator and Staunch Trump Ally, Dies at 71

He consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas. The Washington, D.C., medical examiner said he died of an aortic dissection, a tear in the body’s main artery.

This has the potential to be the most epic "Celebrity Death Trifecta" in recent history.

I will convert to the first Abrahamic religion that accepts me if this plays out as you imply. A hat trick is pretty strong proof of a powerful god. It also explains how Keith Richards is still around.

Don't say Keith Richards when we're talking about things like that!

It's another Rump distraction.
Rump had Graham poisoned to distract from the pending McConnell investigation. I'm guessing.
There must be some McConnell scandal about to break.

Not everything's a distraction or a conspiracy.

Hmm...
Well I thought it was funny.

Sen. Lindsey Graham likely died after aorta tear, medical examiner says

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has died after a brief illness. The South Carolina Republican was 71.

apnews.com

The sparse statement by Graham’s office, which did not explain his death, comes during a stretch of concern about a lack of transparency about lawmakers’ health.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., was absent without explanation for months before returning to Congress and disclosing that he had been diagnosed with depression.

Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, the former longtime Republican leader, was hospitalized weeks ago for undisclosed health reasons.

Not exactly the party of transparency. It takes a lot of work to outdo Democrats with regards to keeping candidates past their use-by date. But for some reason the GOP has decided to tell everyone, "hold my beer".

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

I was never a fan of Graham. He hit rock bottom though with this disgraceful performance. It was one of those you can't ever walk that back moments of permanent shit-hood.

 

[unapologetic]

THE CONSPIRICY is: If McConnell dies now, Kentucky will hold a special election to replace him, BEFORE NOVEMBER. And a democrat is expected to win the seat.
So they can't let him die yet.

Ok ok, at least it's not a bad faith eye roll. I'll take it.

“Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention. Let it be known for all time that he knew exactly what Donald Trump was from the very beginning, and chose him over his country.”

I’ll never forget his saying we can make America great again by telling trump to go to hell. Then he turned into his most enthusiastic supporter. What a piece of shit. I expect the illness he died of was spinal osteoporosis. It was just hollowed out and disappeared.

Thank, thank you. I’ll be here all night.

It may have been meant as snark but almost none of this is true. Any Democrat would be the underdog in a Senate race, and if McConnell were to die today the earliest the election could be would be sometime in September. The Democratic governor would surely put it off until the general election in November, thereby reducing the GOP majority in the Senate until then.

ETA actually the law doesn't seem to put a limit on how long the election can be delayed. If I were beshear I would hold off until the day before the new Senate session starts in January 2027, thereby depriving the GOP of a Senate seat for the maximum possible time. It would be an entirely fitting tribute to McConnell and his machinations concerning scotus vacancies...

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa will be 93 in September. Hal Rogers, R-KY is almost 88.
