    I already said he was an asshole and cited the reason, that’s not supplication.

    You don’t have to celebrate death to prove you aren’t a supplicant. 😉

      It might help you understand WHY you’re getting ratioed if you understand this:

      Lindsay Graham was basically a serial killer who used votes rather than knives.

      Imagine a serial killer murdered someone you love. Wouldn’t you cheer when you find out he’s died? Wouldn’t you be happy he is dead and no longer able to harm others the way he harmed your loved one?

      That’s how we feel about Graham dying. That’s what we’re celebrating. Graham is the serial killer who murdered our mama, and we’re happy to see him die.

        I love how they just ignore this extremely well said criticism and just keep spamming this “human decency” angle

      You wrote the words “basic humanity” as if that was supposed to make sense as a justification for a rule. Don’t think we’ve seen a reason.

              Civility politics says you must grieve for monsters who’s life choices killed others. No being happy when he dies.

              I wonder if this place would ban anyone happy when Trump dies.

          Would you react the same if he killed directly instead of indirectly?

            There’s a big difference between Kissinger and Graham, I mentioned this in another reply, but it bears repeating…

            Kissinger had the power and ability to act alone in his atrocities.

            Graham, as a member of the Senate, did not have that ability. Whatever evils he enacted, he was able to do so with the consent of a majority of the House, Senate and President.

            Kissinger did what he wanted, Graham literally could not on his own.

            Not saying he did good things, he was a complete tool, but a majority of the Legislative branch signed off on the things he did. Not the same thing at all.

              he was able to do so with the consent of a majority of the House, Senate and President.

              So he was still a bad person but also other people agreed with him and enabled him to do bad stuff

              This is like saying “Jeff was not a bad person, they would restrain him so he couldn’t kill, while Josh was a very bad person because he could kill without restriction”
