Senator Lindsey Graham dedicated his life to serving the people of South Carolina and the United States.

Throughout his career, he stood resolutely in defence of democracy and freedom, most recently and particularly with Ukraine and its people.

I offer my condolences to Senator Graham’s family, friends, and all those who served alongside him.

It's real. Apparently Joly and Anand also chimed in.

If only they said "despite our disagreements, my heart goes out to the grieving family" or some other tasteful bullshit to dodge it. I'd look the other way, I'd say that politicians do what they have to do.

But they don't. They are straight up sucking up to his corpse for no reason at all. Also, Carney was really happy about the attacks against Iran, so fuck him all over.

It's not for no reason, it's always the same reason. The people in the deepest parts of the slime salute their peers because they can't face the truth that if they don't, then nobody will salute them when it's their turn.
