Is there some law that says we have to pretend that a politician was a saint when they pass away?
notably, Zelensky is in the congregation at the Lindsey Graham memorial event today along with the President and Vice President and many many others
geez, right now as I watch live TV coverage, he’s standing directly behind President Trump, 1 row back
geez
The old saying “Do not speak ill of the dead” comes to mind.
I spoke ill of him when he was alive and I’m not going to stop any time soon.
De mortuis nil nisi Bonum!
It has always been my position facts are neutral. Well/ill are in the interpretation of those facts.
Therefore being factual is not speaking ill of the dead.
Lindsay was an unabashed warmonger. The human cost of his machinations was high & that is on his ledger. Accountability for that is between him & the Holy Trinity. I can only hope that he repented his sins & gave his life to Jesus & so was saved.
I don’t mourn him & I won’t miss him.
Why are people so critical? I actually liked President Trump’s eulogy for Lindsey, and felt it hit all the right notes.
He didn’t paint him as a saint — he even said that not everyone liked him, that he was a “tough cookie.” He recounted some of the contentious times he had with him, including the cell phone doxxing — and PT did it with good humor. But he also gave credit where credit was due, and I felt it was a sincere, honest tribute to someone who could butt heads with him, but at times was also a staunch defender. I believe they had a strange but real friendship, and that despite their differences, he respected the man.
Not sure who wrote it, or if PT wrote it himself — but it was a wonderful tribute that ultimately pointed people to God, heaven, and what ultimately matters.
Didn’t know Lindsey was royalty?!?
He’s always been something of a queen
Ha!
He took care of his sister when she needed it. I admire that.
Politically – sometimes I liked him …sometimes I didn’t.
To many things make no sense and the praise from PDJT towards Linda are baffling because he was not the man PDJT is describing.
We can let the Lord Jesus Christ sort things out.
Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men
Come on now, do you really expect Trump to go up there and bash Lindsey.? There is a time and place for everything.
Globohomo Israel first politician is dead. I pray he got right with God before he died. Based on what I know, he has a lot of blood on his hands.
RIP.
Was Mitch there?
Mitch is already where Linda is now.
The Daily Double-two funerals for the price of one.
Who?
Sen Graham was an exceptionally OUTSIZED presence in SC, DC, and beyond. He defied the conventions of our times in so many ways.
I suspect his most enduring legacy will be his unflinching ability to NEVER be contained and/or constrained by ANY metric, be it conservative, liberal, capitalist, communistic, Christian, Islamic, male, female, LGBTWTF etc, etc, etc.
His indefatigable ability to do it MY WAY makes Frank Sinatra a quaint after-thought.
His LOAFERs will NEVER BE FILLED!
The fact that his coffin was draped with a be-wrinkled American Flag (like John McCain) as his (suspected) final remains laid in state at our Capitol is his final epitaph…… 🙁
PS….. He benefited IMMENSELY in his military service due to the Clinton era “Don’t Ask, DON’T TELL” policy that GUTTED the WARRIOR ETHOS of Our Military for over 30 Years . His military service during the Obama years gave him bona fides on Capitol Hill that fueled both credibility and firewalls that allowed his EXTRAORDINARY Freedom of Movement on International Stages…
Again, Lindsey was an exceptional One-Off operating in EXTREMELY GRAY AREAS who will fuel untold future case-studies of “How the heck did he do that”….. 🙁
Seeing the reptile change its color depending on the requirements of the circumstance was quite the revelation to me. I became a harsh critic, and in true Lindsey fashion, he really didn’t care what his constituents thought until election time. But I hope he got right with God before he departed.
We have to play nice. His sister is assuming his seat.
Thank you Sundance, this is a beautiful service. The pain of a loved one passing is like no other.
We can be eternally grateful God is helping us.
Say what you will about him, but I’ll always remember how he exposed the Dem character assassination of Bret Kavenaugh and his very righteous indignation. Their conspiracy was most ugly and shameful.
The higher they sing his praises,the faster we count the silverware. Or something.
they’re playing Fanfare for the Common Man – Copeland, I believe
I like that one … sparse, evokes portent, you can dance to it … I give it an 8-and-a-half
The president had to say something about a person who was very important at times. You know the saying: if you have nothing nice to say about a dead person, don’t say anything.
President Trump was very respectful to Lindsay Graham.
Lindsay Graham made his own reputation. The president touched upon a few things like that.
Lindsay Graham is no more; let him Rest in Peace.
We are better for having lost him.
Funerals for senators and representatives should not last 6 hours.
Don’t those people have bills to pass and budgets to approve? Isn’t this one of the last days before they head off for a month long recess?
I’m sorry to read so many vile comments here.
How is this different from when they celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death?
“ So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, …”
Matthew 7: 12
Agree and thank you.
