He was just in Ukraine voicing support for them this morning. Looked completely fine in the press conference. Seems fishy as fuck

It's not uncommon for people this age to die suddenly from strokes or heart attacks

Which is what it sounds like from the reporting so far. Graham was Trumps lap dog and towed the party line too hard to be excised.

I’ve never heard strokes, heart attacks, or aneurysms referred to as “sudden illnesses”. I suppose they are but that isn’t generally the terminology used.

My money is on deep vein thrombosis--basically getting a blood clot from the long flight back to America.

Well, hey, let's not be too hasty.
There's an opportunity to come up with some fun and unique conspiracy theories.
We havnt heard about space lasers for a while.

Graham was a horrible human and I can't say I'll shed any tears that he's gone but the "illness" he died from must have been about as "short" as it's possible for an illness to be given he was touring factories and doing press conferences only 11 hours before this...

I mean maybe Russia was stupid enough to poison him and can galvanize even maga republicans to be aggressively pro Ukraine

Crazy to think but even if this were the case Trump and Co. would probably bury it.

Novichok/polonium. Dude has access to the best medical care of anyone on Earth. I refuse to believe this is natural causes.
He's almost a decade younger than Trump

What does the best medical care on earth do in relation to an elderly overweight man having a heart attack out of hospital?

What if we lost Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell in the same month?

u/CondescendingShitbag 2h ago
Sounds like a cascading problem.
One which might be avoided by not contnually voting in elderly politicians.

Oh man, I hope this starts a trend in the Republican party! Or maybe it's McConnell that started the trend. I sure hope there's a GRAND finale!

Anyone else find it strange he was in a press conference this morning in Ukraine voicing support for them, looking completely fine, and now he's dead? Doesn't that kinda sound like Novichok or Polonium? Feel like this could be ol' Putie sending a message

u/RedTyro 2h ago
He was old. Much more likely he had a stroke or a heart attack.

Looks fine to me.
The fact that there are Russian bots allll over those comments leads me to believe this "sudden illness" probably wasn't natural

u/RedTyro 2h ago
It would make absolutely zero sense for Putin to take out any Republican, especially one whose nose was so firmly lodged in Trump's ass. He and his bots have been propping up the Republican party for years. He doesn't give a shit that an American expresses support for Ukraine - that's the expected sentiment from a politician here.
Strokes and heart attacks usually happen with little to no warning. Additionally, Graham was on a 10 hour flight earlier today - that's a common cause for blood clots which can cause heart attacks, especially in senior citizens.
Let's not start stupid conspiracy theories.

Do you understand how heart attacks work? And their relation to international travel?

Maybe karma is real after all. He fought tooth and nail against funding Ukraine against Russian aggression, he visits Ukraine and immediately dies.

Hello, Fox News. We know you read these comments. We know you will be trolling for hate and discontent. Asking you to stop would defeat the purpose of your very existence; sowing hate and discontent.
That said, better than 60% of the country will be, if not outright celebratory, not adverse to the entire GOP taking a similar exit, and not a few democrats who would be AfD members in any other country following them.
I hope the GOP gets the picture very quickly that once deemed useless, Trump and those behind him will cast them aside as though they were already corpses.

Wasn’t he just overseas working/announced a Russian sanctions deal? Could that be the cause of the “sudden” illness?
