A US ambassador should be defending a visiting US legislator, regardless of his or her party, and not the country he or she is assigned to. At the very least, if you can't defend (literally part of the job), don't tweet.

The deceased was calling for Hiroshima response to Gaza- in truth 7 times the bombing of Hiroshima has been droped on Gaza - he was a genocidal lunatic.

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.

What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

So the way to choose who will represent the people of South Carolina in the US Senate is to choose one of Lindsey Graham's siblings in order to "pay tribute" to him? That's not really the reason we have a Senate.

Neither party even pretends to care about what voters want. Hey: Lindsey Graham died 6 seconds ago: we picked his obscure, experience-free sister to send to the US Senate and didn't even pretend to hear if you want that!

If this happened in some other country, we would laugh at their backwardness. Some in Washington would argue they must be bombed...

[Brett Erickson @BrettErickson28]

People have been repeatedly asking me if I think Trump is serious about his statement that the US would impose 20% fees on transits through the Strait of Hormuz.

My answer is pretty simply. No. I think this is a statement from a man who is increasingly desperate, wildly stressed, and has a well documented problem with impulse control.

There is absolutely zero chance whatsoever anything remotely close to that happens.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

"He went down with his slavish dedication to Israel over the interests of the United States and the rest of the world."

Jeremy Scahill discusses Lindsey Graham's legacy of loyalty to U.S. empire. "He never met a war of aggression that he didn't passionately back."

If you think this man stands for freedom and democracy, that explains a lot.

Disgusting.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

She could have not posted this. @AnitaAnandMP are Canadians supposed to be impressed that you are so close to one of the most evil mfers in the anglosphere?

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

What an epitaph.

All you Trump lackeys and enablers and grifters out there:

Do *you* want to be remembered this way?

Is this how *you* want your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and theirs, to view you forevermore?

As a weak, spineless, unprincipled coward?

[Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES]

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made.

This is Saeed Ghasseminejad, one of Reza Pahlavi’s top advisers, and he appears to be an absolute idiot.

Ahmadinejad appearing at a major funeral event for the Supreme Leader, an event critical to regime propaganda, does not mean he isn’t under house arrest or otherwise under the regime’s control.

House arrest does not necessarily mean someone is confined inside a home every second of every day.

The regime can permit or force a detainee to attend a tightly controlled public event under heavy surveillance and then return him to detention.

My God, this is who you monarchists pinned your hopes on?

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.

Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER.

20% is of course too much. We will be fair

[Brett Erickson @BrettErickson28]

… I mean… this is LITERALLY what I had said was a concern immediately after the MOU was signed… Iran is in a stronger position now than when the MOU was signed.

[Rosemary Kelanic @RKelanic]

Iran: Pay a 1% toll and you've got guaranteed safe passage through Hormuz.

Trump: Pay a 20% toll and get shot at while crossing.

Which transit scheme do you think the world would prefer? 🤔

[Hooman Majd @hmajd]

This.

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

At least the Iranians were offering a 60-day free trial...
