Netanyahu? Thiel? Miller? Schumer? Musk?

Let Putin be the bedraggled old leftovers hopelessly outclassed by their replacements.

There's zero proof he is alive.

There's lots of evidence he is dead.

People are just being realistic

He's completely absent from everything and if they announce he's dead now they have to have a special election to replace him.

If they wait until 8/3, then the seat just stays empty and whoever gets elected in November gets seated in January:

True, but a few evil people dying is not so bad.

you're not entirely wrong but not entirely right. there are people who seem to be both causes and symbols of the dysfunction in society. without a few specific evil people, a few specific evils wouldn't have occurred. we'd have different evils, but there's no guarantee they'd be better or worse. the people just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and took advantage of it.

Oh I said it was an opportunity for them, certainly not that I expected them to capitalize upon it lmao

If the Dems found a lamp and got three wishes, they'd negotiate down to one wish, and then wish for something they thought the Republicans would want.

His opponent was already doing really well.

Given enough time. The short timeframe could actually be a boon.

Doomerism at it's finest

Lindsey Graham only got 54% last go... It's far from impossible.

The latest election in 2020 per your source was 54.44% for Graham and 44.17% for his opponent.

That is not an impossible margin. The Republicans will not benefit from running an incumbent, and the Republican party has never been more unpopular. This is a very good chance.

Just look at Georgia until Osoff and Warnock Georgia had been red for a very very long time. Just as long as South Carolina.

Past elections don't predict future elections. They are certainly indicators, but there's way more to it.

Fritz Hollings, a conservative Democrat (and therefore not far off from being a Republican), was a senator of South Carolina until 2005.

i mean i was just going to have a bagel and go for a bike ride. now i gotta grab a fancy something while i'm out

Central is a border town. Georgia and North Carolina both only a few miles away. And don't tell me you've never had a pollo fundito

Hitler died at 56, and he also died fairly suddenly

I really don't think there'll ever be a shortage of money from closeted gay Republicans. Especially in DC.

First the drop in business with McConnell in "hospital", now the honourable Southern Belle has left.

They need to just hold on until all those happily married Republican politicians come in from the south to pay their respects to Mr Graham and Grindr crashes.

Judging by the guy who told the ladybug story, I think most of them felt like it wasn't worth the money.

Self hatred?

Self preservation. The worm that sides with the bullies in order to protect itself and be close to power.
