I'm sure everyone in this thread will appreciate and note Joe Biden's classy response to this death. MAGAs, this is how it's done...



Makes you wonder what happened to this version of Lindsey? It's almost like he felt compelled to hide his own humanity because of a sudden shift in tone brought on by something within his own party.

LG was savvy enough to realize that bipartisanship was/is no longer a winning political strategy. His pivot to being a Trump bootlicker was remarkably swift and unfortunately steadfast

you've been a member since 2001 and I have never even seen your user name...checked post history and seemingly you only post politics on here and Iowa's message board...why join 2 football message boards to talk nothing but politics?
Well you would be wrong. I started out posting in the Iowa Lounge - pay board - about Iowa sports for decades. Still do, but what Trump is doing to my country is more important than put ball in hoop or kick a touchdown.

Graham was always in John McCain’s shadow. When McCain passed, I believe Graham needed someone else to follow and latched onto Trump.

And I would do it again over Harris and Biden. Civil is not criminal. The burdens of proof are no where near the same. But you have a good day. I’m out.
Yeah, the country seems like it's on a great path.

Economy is humming, no new wars, Epstein class of pedophiles is totally being prosecuted, brain-dead senators being kept alive artificially to prevent special elections, bipartisan election councils being dissolved, fortified fencing going up around the People's House, podcasters in charge of the FBI and "Department of War", Director of Homeland Security gets the boot while her jackbooted masked thugs murder innocent people, numerous other cabinet members already biting the dust, average new homebuyer in the 40s, record number of people defaulting on credit cards and loans, inflation through the roof, gas prices surging as we get close to burning through our reserves, worldwide economic collapse dependent upon the whims of an even more hardline leader who now controls the Strait of Hormuz, our NATO allies realizing we are no longer a country to be feared or counted upon, UFC fights being held on the WH lawn, reflection pool being destroyed, tacky gold lettering going up on the WH to resemble a Thai restaurant in backwoods Seneca, military arsenal being wasted as China watches us accomplish nothing, dark money flowing into the Oval Office for pardons while the first family increases its own wealth via crypto rug pull scams and awarded contracts for family businesses...

You really made a great choice. Thank you for your service!

A few things. My wife has been apolitical most of her life. Over the last 2-3 years she has become more involved. Supposedly, Graham died from Cardiac Arrest. My wife says this morning " I might sound crazy but I think he was murdered." This coming so soon after McConnell's CA has made her suspicious. My wife is not a conspiracy type and neither am I. BUT there are drugs that can cause CA that are nearly undetectable so I told here its not a totally crazy thought. I believe the USSR/Russia has used such stuff in the past. Get ready X I see a new viral conspiracy theory on the rise.

I am not a believer in coincidence as a common thing either although it does rarely happen. I will stick with that in this case.

Regardless even if someone slipped him something and it shows on a screen we will NEVER know it. Why? Because it would require a response. If it was Iran what else you going to do? If Russia then you have to take out Putin and that's something even Trump would not openly do.

McMaster could appoint himself. Maybe Joe Wilson could be offered. Norman? There are a whole bunch of people. IMHO, Mace is a nut.

I felt Graham rode the line between conservative and Rino. Seems haters disliked his foreign policy. This Reaganite never had a problem with his hawkishness. My complaint about our FP is the belief in the Powell Doctrine pottery barn corollary . I do not care about purple thumbs or nation building/rebuilding. Lay waste and move on. Rinse and repeat as needed.

I was not happy about the Venezuelan leader but using her as a vassal is more in line with my philosophy. If she gets out of line then we can Rinse and Repeat as needed.

Started posting on Iowa Board and now posting on TigerIllustrated sports board about SC Senator who died (which TI already has a separate politics board ) is kinda sad/cringeworthy no matter what side of the political aisle you are on .

You realize the thread was moved from the Sports Board to the Politics Board?

Even when Joe Biden shows decency, the MAGA apparatus led by pieces of **** like Stephen Miller and his gross wife who apparently used to bang Steve Bannon :sick: can't let that decency stand for one second.

But none of the MAGAs in this thread will say one peep just like they never said anything about Trump saying we shouldn't feel bad that Biden had cancer or Trump mocking the deaths of multiple people or Trump mocking the fact that McCain was a POW or Trump literally posting images of the Obamas as monkeys. They live in their ignorant bubble where the leader of their movement can freely act like the world's biggest ******* while they clutch their pearls about "the left" anytime a random person on twitter posts something.

I will. For Rob Sand and Josh Turek. Two outstanding Democrats who will make fine leaders and help drag Iowa away from having the worst economy in America thanks to Kimmy R and the rest of the Republican clowns.
How many times you plan on voting?

I have a stack of mail in ballot requests 8 inches high!

Doing my part as long as George Soros does his.

The House of Politics and Off-Topic is a sports board? You sure about that?

on3…as was rivals…a sports board but if it makes you feel better to post nothing but political sh-t on a sports board carry on. My guess is the people that do this never played a sport and if they did they sat the bench

Neither valued human life
So by this logic you do not either? See how slippery that slope is. Osama = Graham bc neither value human life. Assuming by your take you don't value Grahams life so you're 2 degrees removed from Osama also? Obviously I am being facetious...but if there is no difference in the most notorious terrorist of our generation and a US elected official then I give up. For the record I am not a fan or enemy of Graham....he just a politician to me.
