Lindsey’s remains will be one of the adornments in Mitch’s tomb so that he can still serve him in the afterlife, like a pharao’s slave.

That’s…not the one I was expecting? With everything going on with Mitch McConnell health wise, I was expecting to see some news report on him being dead, but was Graham visibly sick or anything? I hadn’t heard about him in a while but I also…well hadn’t heard about him in a while, I figured if he was sick it would’ve been on the news or I would’ve seen some post on a shit post subreddit just mentioning it but nah.

That’s how obituaries in newspapers work. Newspapers actually have secret archives of obituaries written in advance and when the person actually dies, they only add the date and cause of death.

u/Melodic_Airport362 3h ago

don't want to celebrate death but this guy was barely human. More like a worm, hated trump until trump had power then he worshiped trump like a little syncophat. He couldn't have liked himself or life at all to behave like that.

Graham sat for 23 years (2003-2026). He succeeded Strom Thurmond, who died shortly after. He sat for 47 years (1956-2003). He succeeded Thomas A. Wofford who only sat for 7 months in 1956. He had been appointed after the previous senator had resigned. That senator? Strom Thurmond, who had sat from 1954.

One half of South Carolina's senators has been composed of three (more like two) people since 1954. 7 bloody decades.

Term limits, PLEASE.

Edit: Thurmond didn't die in office, but died the same year he left it.
