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.
@cptdankkk Nice-Tough part is where the cutoff is- Always someone who just misses out- I would love to be able to hand out that much, then also do a sliding tapered scale down for all employees.
@joncoopertweets I might be wrong but somehow saying you are the hardest working person in America while being pampered (no pun intended)🧷 How many times has he played golf?
@AdamSchefter@AllSportHistory Ohtani deferred $680 million of his total $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
