When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
@IvankaTrumpRV2 @Q_NesaraGesara C. What an embarrassment not only to the US but the world. A functioning illiterate fat man in shitty Depends robbing the Treasury blind - and look at the stupid fvcks that give this #PutinsBitch an A. May you reap what you sow.
@LiningerCh33053@lady_valor_07 You worship a convicted rapist, 34x convicted felon, self-admitted sexual abuser, and an illiterate fat man in shitty Depends. Fvck off.
@lady_valor_07 C. Obama will always be respected around the world and welcomed by world leaders. Your convicted rapist, 34x convicted felon, and illiterate fat man in shitty Depends is an international laughingstock. #FACTS
@2006Shalina@IloveTrumpMK One of a kind is right, first one of a kind whore and nude "model" to be called FLOTUS. What an absolute fvcking embarassment.
@LightOnLiberty How embarrassing to be so publicly asininely stupid. You worship a convicted rapist and an illiterate fat man in shitty Depends. Fvck off.
@DerrickEvans4WV It's obvious you're ignorant of tax law. What Loeffler is spouting is a LIE. 40 year professional tax preparer here, and nothing I see with clients supports any of this. Taxpayers are paying more.
@DerrickEvans4WV You do realize accepting a pardon cements the fact you are guilty, don't you? You've got to agree to pleading guilty in order to get the pardon. Look it up. You belong in prison, traitor. #FACTS
BREAKING: In defiance of Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, voters in Hungary today will vote against Orban’s authoritarianism. Today’s the day Orban’s reign ends. This is being almost entirely ignored by mainstream media. Let’s make it go viral.
Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
🚨 BREAKING: The most transparent regime in the history of history, which is covering up the Epstein Files, just had Judge Cannon kill the Jack Smith Report. There has never been a Special Counsel Report suppressed in U.S. legal history. Another scandal. Impeach Cannon.
