I often criticized Lindsey Graham. But this weekend, I learned his full story:
- Orphaned young, he adopted & raised his little sister instead of letting her go into the system.
- Grew up dirt poor, racking balls in his parents’ pool hall.
- In search of opportunity, he joined the Air Force. Served 33 years. Retired a Colonel.
- Then spent decades in Congress, earning respect across the aisle.
- Bashed Trump hard in ~2016, then respected the will of the voters, and grew to become a loyal ally.
- Humble. Devoted to his constituents.
- Driven by patriotism (even when misguided). Never in it for the money. Could've cashed in any time like most of his colleagues.
- That Disney trip everyone mocked? Just a good uncle taking his beloved nieces. He smiled through (and ignored) the hate to protect his family.
RIP to a self-made American original.
@Goalieingaround@VikeClones No typos just 280 character brevity bud.
Anyway thanks for making my point for me. Y'all can't scrounge up enough alumni $$$ to contribute to an NIL fund and keep your athletic department solvent. Don't hate us because we can.
@VikeClones@Goalieingaround It's called context, a higher level of reading that I guess isn't stressed in Aimes. The context being, and I'll explain it to you since it must be hard for you to grasp, is that ISU doesn't have alumni wealthy enough to contribute to NIL fund and be competitive like TTU
@ChrisLevel Yormark should have entered into a partnership with Boudreaux's instead. Would have really helped soothe the chapped buttcheeks of the conference coaches
@us4cats@ChrisMWilliams Show me which one of those points is incorrect, please. The hypocritical sanctimony from you guys is hilarious. Did Yorkmark not lower the fines for ISU and KSU? Did your AD not get your school into a messy situation with your basketball coach? Has TTU broken any laws?
@us4cats@ChrisMWilliams Good thing I’m not a sportswriter then. I was a huge fan of KSU until seeing how ya’ll have pearl-clutched and been so sanctimonious towards us this off season. You’re welcome we filled AT&T Stadium so the B12 could subsidize yall skipping your bowl
@713Chriss@kmoorefit5@joshk70@TexasTechFB Personally I'm glad yall left. I assumed that meant I wouldn't have to deal with y'all's bullshit anymore but here we are again.
