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.
As a former major fund-raiser for Amnesty - I produced the first five 'Secret Policeman's Balls' - I renounce the mob who have taken over Amnesty
Amnesty used to be about trying to do something about TORTURE
When Muslim community members are on a rampage, @metpoliceuk runs like a dog with its tail between its legs. Police officers were chased by Moroccan fans after losing to France in London's Edgware Road (Morocco Street).
When will Sadiq Khan let the Met Police do their job properly?
Met Police were chased out of London last night by hordes of Muslims.
One officer in hospital with serious injuries.
No Keir Starmer addressing the nation?
Telling they'll face the full force of the law?
Sadiq Khan not saying how "welcoming" London is?
We are one step away from success. Only $549 left to reach our goal.
This is the moment when momentum matters most. Keep pushing. Keep sharing. Keep fighting for every dollar.
Forward. Forward. Forward.
Not one step back.
Every repost, every donation, every bit of support brings us closer to victory. 🇺🇦
FIFA has deleted this video from my account again. but i will continue to post it no matter what they do. The whole world needs to see this refereeino farce.
To our US cousins. Apart from FIFA members ‘cash for votes’ which happens as part of host bidding process, every World Cup has been a success. In 10 days instead of being a celebration of football, it’ll be remembered as corrupt and cheating. That’s why us Europeans are upset. ⚽️
Worth pointing out that Quansah’s “crime” is the same in FIFA terms as Folarin Balogun’s - serious foul play. Quansah’s one-game ban has been extended to two. Balogun’s was suspended for 12 months when Donald Trump made a phone call.
Absolutely bonkers.
Was it always a two game suspension or is there a frivolous appeal penalty being applied here?
But it begs the question why Balogun’s suspension has been suspended and Quansah’s not.
FIFA have opened a can of worms.
