It was blackmail.

It might have been a personal secret that Graham didn't want revealed, but nothing most of us here on DU would consider a problem.

We'll probably never know.

Something that most people already strongly suspected anyway, and didn't care. How sad for someone to have to live their entire life in fear that something like their sexual orientation might be made public.

Just speaking generally, of course....

...to even try to rehabilitate his reputation by saying, 'hey, look, I knew it all along and I was right but I had to play the game. I was really in there fighting for democracy all along behind the scenes! Now that he's gone we can get back to true conservatism.'

Nope, you thought maybe you'd ride it out didn't you--you feckless, opportunistic, traitor to everything you ever claimed to believe?

Now you're just another sucker and loser....

if not telling. One would think that as soon as he became part of Darth Vader's inner circle, he would scour his postings and scrub anything that was critical of Trump, yet he left this up. It's hard to dismiss this as an oversight.

No tin foil hat here, just curious.

If he never did, it might not have occurred to him. OTOH, if he has deleted other things but not that one, then I"d say it could be a more relevant observation.

Don't know if was his official account or not.

Either way, seeing that he was also an attorney, he probably didn't want to be on the record for deleting a specific post like that. So he just let it stay.

what the cause of death because I think he did internalize some of this shit--maybe from the ghost of McCain?

did he (LG) get destroyed. Our country didn’t deserve the destruction for which he cheered and enabled under trump. Deserving is reserved for and meted out by impartial judges. Lindsey, was it worth it?

ass-kisser.

are mourning the loss of the man- Lindsey Graham. They are mourning the man they lost like they would mourn for more death and mayhem at a child’s birthday party or springtime wedding.

I am also 71 but quit drinking when blood tests came back elevated and a bit of cirrhosis showed up on the ultrasound. That was when chump won in 24.
None of this should be a surprise to a Senator with the best health care.
I would love to see a hepatic panel of his blood.
Mitch also!
Lindsey and Pirro. Drunk in hell though eternity!
Glad we are going the other way!

Hope so! We need you!

Still!

It just took 10-12 years for the destruction to occur.

might just have been more than even he could stomach.

Hearts do break. Air travel can cause embolisms. Hiding in closets when really unnecessary can take a toll. Sometimes people need to just stop the stress of being blackmailed into violating one's core.

We won't ever know. But anyone with a brain and functioning empathy will have a lot of questions.
