Wow, that was unexpected and rather shocking.

 

[Cristiano]

This is an interesting thought....

His passing was certainly out of the blue. Between that and Turtle McTurtleface's unexplained absence, there's definitely something weird going on.

It's called "old age."

Yeah.... I'm not convinced it's THAT WEIRD to have these sudden illnesses at their age. It's actually very likely Lindsey Graham had prior heart problems or whatever but was very mum about it till it came to a head.

Turtle man is even older. So the weird part is not that they got sick "suddenly." The weird part is how the media is talking about it.

I swear maybe 10-15 years ago it seemed his whole demeanor changed, from affable folksy southern charm hypocrite merrily throwing gays under the bus to keep himself in the closet... to a grim flop-sweat twitchy sycophantic lacky. It seemed obvious to me that he was acting under duress, forced to agree with or say things that seemed otherwise indefensible. Maybe I was imagining it. I dunno.

If I were to go full on conspiracy theory nutcase... his handler used him, maybe without him even knowing, to confirm the location/contents of the drone factory for Putin.

Why so? His father died of a heart attack at the age of 69, l understand, and long flights, such as Sen Graham's recent return from Ukraine, are known to increase the risk of heart attacks.

Any duress, to my mind, would likely be Trump/Maga threatening to denounce him as a gay RINO if he didn't toe the line.

Maybe the world is trying to heal itself.

"Polonium allergy. Perfectly normal."

Trans-atlantic travel is a strain.

This was, to my mind, the most likely connection between his recent travel and his death. International travel is a major disruption to body rhythms. If you're young and healthy, it's easy to shrug off and recover quickly, without really recognizing the depth of the strain.

And nothing of value was lost.

One really can't put 3 Americans in the same room without a conspiracy theory just around the corner, right?

Is it really that hard to believe that an older guy gets a heart attack and dies?
