(#6370) As fate or something else would have it...

      I woke up this morning to the announcement of the death of lindsey graham. He was a republican US Senator from South Carolina. His great claim to infamy was his cowardly embrace of trumpism after initially calling trump what he is in a tempered way, "a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.". I say tempered because we know trump is also a rapist who is misogynistic with women. As well he is a grifter and a liar on a grand scale. Be that as it may however, graham turning on a dime and then becoming one of trumps greatest supporters tells you all you need to know about graham's lack of integrity and honor.
     My first thought was that the focus on whether mcconnell was dead would be lessened and time gained for republicans to run our his death clock but then I dismissed it as being too conspiratorial. However it was one of my first thoughts. Because I don't trust trump at all and I know he would do anything to save his own ass, including literally destroying those around him. Time will have to determine more about graham but as to mcconnell, the clock is running toward August 3rd. As I welcome the departure of graham from the senate I also feel uneasy about what comes next. I admit wholeheartedly that my anger at republicanism is at a boiling point but not high enough to want vigilante justice. At least not yet!
     But if that is what we are looking at then our near future is less predictable and surely more angry. If this was something putin orchestrated then that is another story and could well be the step we Americans need to go full bore with Ukraine against Russia. Again, an autopsy will be more precise about the cause of the graham expiration and that will take a little bit of time to know. In the meantime I will stay focused on all efforts to weed out the truth of the republican sketchy narrative about the mcconnell live or dead shell game. If no foul play was involved with graham then this reminds me of when scalia died out of the blue and blame was flying everywhere until the facts of his death became certain.
