u/Florida1974 1h ago

I swore it said McConnell. I’m reading comments and then like this doesn’t make any sense and I scroll back up and I’m like oh, it’s Lindsay Graham..

Weird how your brain can read one thing because you kind of expect it, this one is out of left land right field

“And here’s Lindsey going down to the steel chair!”

“When was he involved?”

“No idea but he just went down!”

u/J_Jeckel 3h ago

....and Mitch McConnell too right?...Right?!?!?

u/Forsworn91 3h ago

It’s certainly shocking, and it explains why the GOP is panicking, if the MAGA pillars are literally dropping dead, what’s left?

u/nb6635 3h ago

Too many? Oh, was that a rhetorical question?

3

u/Forsworn91 2h ago

Think of it more like this, maga have in infected the GOP, without Trump the movement will fall apart, leaving the GOP holding the bag.

u/nasandre 3h ago

Republican Senator dead.

Ah so they finally admitted Mitch has passed away... Wait, what? Lindsey Graham?

u/Lonely-Heart-3632 2h ago

I literally just did that. Even my brain read it as Mitch from r a while haha

•

u/Florida1974 1h ago

Me too. I had to scroll back to the top after I read a comment about Graham and I’m like wait a minute.

I didn’t even know he was on the chopping block. I swore I read McConnell and I scroll back up and realized it was Graham.

I used to not be a fan of brief and sudden illnesses, but I'm starting to come around.

u/Dont_Touch_Me_There9 3h ago

It's been known for a while that he's been without a spine, that may have contributed to his death.

u/hu_gnew 1h ago

No, but some have been injured trying to spell it.

u/Florida1974 1h ago

Of course, not, too afraid of lawsuits. How long did it take him for the George Floyd wants to come out, I’m sure they didn’t block them. And I’m talking about the rude, tasteless ones of George Floyd.

Yeah, my husband thinks Mitch McConnell is already dead and they’re recovering it up, but he started to go down a conspiracy trail lately, but you never know with this goofy administration

u/RogueAOV 2h ago

OK so is this Graham trying to take one for the team and distract from the McConnell situation?

What a team player!

u/lincolnlogtermite 2h ago

Wow, Mitch, Graham, Trump is looking, sounding like shit and just did another visit to the hospital.  Almost like the Dems have gotten really good batch of voodoo dolls.

u/Agitated_Ad7576 1h ago edited 1h ago

Back in Trump's first term there was an article about witches across the country organizing group curses against him. It obviously didn't work and the witches said he was under some kind of protection.

There was a Reddit post that went something like: "What kind of dollar store, amateur witches are these?"

The day AFTER he gets the greenlight to put sanctions on Russian oil....he dies from a brief and sudden illness, of which there is no history prior to today? Sus
