Senator Lindsey Graham has passed. A cause of death has not been proclaimed, my amateur guess is brown nose asphyxiation. But hey, I'm not a doctor, I only play one on the computer. Hate to talk ill of the dead but here goes.
I actually was a Lindsey Graham fan once, but that was a long time ago. He used to call them from both sides of the plate and not be a political whore. The one time military jag was going to bat for the civil liberties of Guantanamo detainees, to the consternation of his party members. He used to take non partisan and principled stands. But that was a long time ago.
In time, the one time Trump hater went full time MAGA and sold out every conviction that he ever had. I did a search on the blast for his name and was astounded by how many times I wrote about his perfidy.

Here's a few. I could take the high road but I can not, I don't want to be a hypocrite. He sold out his country and his principles in his slavish obeisance to MAGA power. A tragic figure.

Graham was initially a critic of Trump’s, whom he briefly ran against during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, warning: “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.” Graham even voted for a third-party candidate for president in 2016, saying he could not support either Trump or Hillary Clinton.

“Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president,” an emotional Graham said once authorities cleared the rioters and allowed senators to reclaim their chamber. “All I can say is count me out. Enough is enough.” Lindsey Graham 1/06/2021

When the going got tough, Lindsey Graham sold out, was nothing but the worst kind of partisan hack. Just my opinion.
