  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The reports say Senator Graham died after a short illness. The former Secretary of State is but a mere 5’4’’, but “illness” is pushing it.

Not a widow.

Both McConnell and Lindsey suffered a cardiac arrest event within a month. They both were actively securing funds and arms for Ukraine. Interesting that Lindsay just came back from Ukraine to meet with President Zelensky. He announced that he and a bipartisan group of senators had officially reached an agreement with the White House on an updated version of their major Russia sanctions legislation.
While McConnell worked the other end by aggressive oversight—essentially forcing the Pentagon to actually spend and deploy the money Congress had already legally authorized for Ukraine.
Without Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, the multi-billion-dollar packages, strategic defense partnerships, and legislative guardrails that have kept Ukraine supplied would likely have collapsed under growing political opposition. Together, they formed an indispensable two-front defense of the Ukraine agenda within a highly fractured Congress.

Sorry, I don't mean to be controversial but this is highly suspicious.

“Emergency radio traffic indicates that Senator Lindsey Graham suffered chest pains before going into cardiac arrest Saturday night,” Statter wrote Sunday morning in a social media post on X. “Efforts to revive the South Carolina lawmaker were not successful. Graham died two days after his 71st birthday.”

In spite of political and personal differences, perhaps with Lindsey and whatever is going on with Mitch, we can return to a level of human decency, offer condolences, prayer and blessing.

...this is the Lindsay Graham I recall from the better days of the U.S. Senate


"The first time I met Lindsey Graham, I was 11 years old, in a hotel lobby. He had just attended a political event with my father, John McCain. Two Republican senators working together, as usual. Lindsey sat down next to me and told me that he loved my dad. I remember liking his deep Southern accent and smile. I immediately felt comfortable around him — he somehow seemed younger, cooler and more interesting than most of the political figures in Dad’s orbit.

From the time he and Dad met, they were fast friends and political comrades. There are few memories I have of my father’s political career and my life accompanying it that don’t somehow involve Lindsey. They, along with fellow senator Joe Lieberman, spent decades of their lives traveling together, championing the same causes on the Senate floor, spending holidays together and fighting for their version of the American Dream."

Old men having fatal heart attacks is normal. Especially 84 year old ones whose health has been visibly failing for some time.

Plus I think Russia tends to restrict its assassinations to domestic "enemies"..... for the most part.

Going after a pair of US senators seems very risky. Otoh Putin has an almost mystical attraction to Ukr and Kiev.

This is well within "when you hear hoof beats think horses not zebras" territory. The boomer gerontocracy is reaching the end of its time in power and they are leaving the only way they have any intention of doing so, feet first.

McConnell is or was 84 but Graham was a mere 71.
