A liar, a traitor, a racist, a sex abuse defender, a flipper, an opportunist…good riddance to bad rubbish, as my mother used to say.

I heard Cory Booker talking about him earlier today and it made me physically sick.

*degenerate Southern...

He sold out and turned on some of his longest friendships across the aisle.

I will always remember Susan Collins for her crucial Kavanaugh vote, and I will always remember Lindsey Graham for his Kavanaugh histrionics that were so hypocritical and so typically Republican.

Apparently no ever told these Democratic politicians that saying absolutely nothing is an option.

God yes. The folksy accent bullshit makes it much worse. And a lot of democrats said the same kind of crap about Strom Thurmond, one of the most vile racists in recent history.

The Reagan effect. Many people are so swayed by personal charm that can’t see the dastardly evil.

I think people shouldn't care too much how others respond to Graham's death. There's always interpersonal politics going on that may be more important than sticking it to the dead. Even Mamdani laughed and shook Trump's hand because getting NYC aid was more important.

I’m saddened to announce the passing of my work colleague, The Butcher of Gallitep. While we were often on opposing sides of the business, I always enjoyed how his labor camp was the very model of order and efficiency.

The last thing you saw was him smiling as he stabbed you.

This was my experience of old-fashioned Southern charm and good manners. Shitty bigotry with a twinkling smile.

And his miserable closed homosexuality was a thumb in the eye to the LGBTQ community. Maybe he'll finally find love in Hell.

His congeniality blinded his colleagues from opposing his evil warmongering

"Is this Heaven?"

The only one I give a pass to is Warnock, and that's only because he is a minister.

I have nothing to say about this dead person. I do have this to share with everyone. bsky.app/profile/thec...

Well, bless his heart. I'm from the north, anyone with that certain brand of southern hospitality and demeanor comes off as a used car salesman who works in insurance on the weekends.

Exactly. Charming southern geniality masked a lot of white trash back in the day.

They could have just put a Grindr flag at half staff, as is tradition for "southern gentlemen."

That it worked on Democratic senators is worse still.

Exactly. This is why politicians are viewed as complete phonies. If I met Trump tomorrow, I wouldn't be star stuck and kiss his ring, I would say the same shit I say every day, which is " Sir, you are a horrible fucking human being" or just say nothing. But being phony is never an option.
