Lindsey, who?

Meme from Facebook:

They moved on from Lindsey Graham's death so fast you'd think he died in a school shooting.

The DNC is broke. Democrats are nominating insane people, and their polling isn't that impressive.

Yeah, go with "Trump is a coward" as your messaging. That's the play.

Meanwhile in the real world, https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/sen-lindsey-graham-lie-state-165546528.html , Graham died on July 12, the import of which was daily discussion on ConservaTalk radio programs for several days. This was followed by several days of news and discussions about one of the practical consequences of his death, who would take his seat and the primary for the R candidate for his seat in the November election. And, as the UPI article linked above, Lindsey Graham will lie in state in the US Capitol tomorrow, 7/28, and his 7/29 funeral in SC will include an F-16 flyover by the SC National Guard.

Maybe DU-Grade Progs should stop viewing MesS NOW and Bluesky by their head so far up the ... that they view those skews sources from between their teeth.

Yes! Please! Let the Dems self-beclown by making that their core message!

Did Carter go to Iran when Iran held our embassy personnel hostage? Did Reagan go to Iran to get them released or when Iran-proxy Hezbollah bombed the US embassy in Beirut? Did OhBummer! or LIEden go to Iran to negotiate sending pallets of cash and other concessions to Iran? Trump is not stooooopid enough to dignify Iran's Mullahcrats with his presence.

But forget all that, you guys really should add "Trump is a coward" to your other equally brilliant TDS ads.

'He Never Quit.' Trump Honors Lindsey Graham’s Relentless American Spirit at D.C. Funeral.

On Tuesday, Washington gathered to say goodbye to Sen. Lindsey Graham. Speakers included Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, and Graham’s niece, Emillie Boggs Roberts.

Vance remembered Graham as a man who could disagree without being disagreeable, recalling how Graham quietly backed a rail bill Vance had supported as a senator even though the issue meant little to him personally. Vance also credited Graham with helping save Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination during the bruising 2018 confirmation fight.

"Today, we gather in the deepest gratitude and profoundest sorrow to honor a beloved friend, a devoted brother, a respected statesman, a giant of the United States Senate, and a true American original who left us much too soon," Trump said.

Trump traced Graham's path from a bar and pool hall his parents ran in Central, S.C., to becoming one of the most important men in the most important country on Earth. He recalled how Graham lost his mother to cancer at age 20, then his father fifteen months later. He later became the legal guardian to his teenage sister while he was still in college. "For all his achievements, and he had many, his single proudest accomplishment in life was how well Darline turned out," Trump said.

The president also described a smaller, quieter detail from Graham's final night. "Right to the end, Lindsey carried in his golf bag the putter that once belonged to his dad," Trump said, adding that Graham kept it alongside his mother's ring. "They were laying right at his bedside the night he died."
...
Earlier that morning, at a Capitol Rotunda ceremony, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he feels Graham's absence daily as military pallbearers carried his flag-draped casket, an honor tied to Graham's 33 years of service in the Air Force and Air Force Reserves.

Fox News host Sean Hannity, who also delivered remarks, called it an honor to eulogize his friend. "There was nobody like Lindsey Graham. Nobody," Hannity said, noting that Kavanaugh and his wife, Ashley, sat among the mourners.

That is among the weirder "moved on" moments in recent history, but DUmmies don't bother with facts.

When DUmmies self-beclown, rub their noses in it.

Flipped on the Fox News audio yesterday a few times, and there was apparently non-stop coverage of Senator Graham's celebration of life. Apparently the legacy media forgot to cover it, because the channels lefties consume failed to cover it at all. Just as they're ignoring the damning Fauci diaries.

During my 20-30 minute AM and PM commutes I listen to ConservaTalk stations, mostly, and if I'm not interested in their topic of the moment, to KLOVE's 70s "Jesus Music" channel. During the 2-3 days after Graham's death both Conservatalkers* were continual Lindsey Graham.

* In the SF Bay Area, there are two ConservaTalkers, both AM band; the only Prog talker I'm aware of is an FM Pacifica Radio station that is not well known and whose signal, being FM, doesn't have much reach.

Senator Graham's celebration of life dominated Fox. And this was several days after Lindsey's death. You may have made the mistake of thinking his death wasn't properly covered because the news sources you believe leave you well informed simply don't. And, yes. I regularly check the MSM. And, I'm sure you avoid Fox, Newsmax, OAN, and other conservative outlets because they present questions you can't dismiss with a talking point.
