Laughing at politians deaths, no matter their politics be it the most commie nigger loving leftist Dem, most based spic and jeet yeeting jew finessing Rep, or milquetoast middle of the line talking head, is an American tradition that separates Us from the E*ro menace
 
Finally, you admit the thing engineers said wouldn't work didn't, in fact, work. Also, the thing he tweeted he would be doing - the NYC to DC hyperloop - didn't happen.

Do you admit engineers who were skeptical of hyperloop were right?

Here's another skeptical headline from the past:

Among other things, skeptics observed that Tesla's Full Self Driving was far behind Waymo's. Were the skeptics right? Or did Musk prove them wrong, put a million Tesla robotaxis on the streets in 2020, and leave Waymo in the dust? Waymo currently has about 3800 robotaxis on the streets. Tesla must be up to 10 million now, right?
Is Starlink also imaginary? There's such a thing as taking a good point and over generalizing until it's wrong.

It's likely that hyperloop might not be feasible on Earth. But the jury is still out on the effectiveness of Tesla FSD versus other very different approaches.

To argue for or against something solely on the basis of the guy who owns the company is just silly, and actually inconsistent if that guy has both substantial successes and failures. That is what an "Elon was wrong" argument amounts to.
 
So uh, what happens to the Senate race in SC now that Graham is dead?

Also call me insane but isn't it strange he died just a little before the midterms where his seat was up for grabs?
The primary there was weeks ago, his seat wasnt' up for grabs, the only way to have beaten him would have been in the primary.

Grok says this, it's a mess but take it as it's worth I guess

Temporary Appointment
  • Governor Henry McMaster (R) can appoint a replacement to serve until early January 2027 (the start of the new congressional term after the November election).

    kcra.com
  • South Carolina law gives the governor broad discretion; there is no strict requirement to appoint someone from the same party (though a Republican is overwhelmingly likely).

    kcra.com
  • The appointee would serve the remainder of Graham’s current term.
Special Election Process for the Full Term
  • Graham had already won the Republican primary on June 9, 2026 (with ~56.8% of the vote).

    ballotpedia.org
  • A special Republican primary is now required. State law points to August 11, 2026, for this primary, with a potential runoff on August 25 if no candidate gets a majority.

  • The winner of that process becomes the Republican nominee for the general election on November 3, 2026.
 
Anyone on the right or left who is happy about Graham's death is your enemy, by the way, their gay reasons like "he was a warmongerer" "he killed brown children" "he was a homosexual" doesn't matter. Lindsey Graham was a patriot who served in air forces for 33 years, who sent billions of dollars to South Carolina, who was a staunch supporter of Trump's immigration agenda, who always voted with Trump, who was a defender of Ukraine and hater of ziggers and who made Kavanaugh appointment possible. According to people who met him, he was also generally a good man. He also had a gorillion seniority roles in committees in Senate, which means we lost an important lawmaker (new appointment won't get those roles for at least a decade). He is now in superheaven, rest in peace patriot.
Sonny, do you glow?
 
Inb4 all the usual suspect retards start coming out and full force saying that Israel assassinated Lindsey Graham for "turning away from Israel"

New Candace Owens video coming out stat!
My guess would be russia, russian fucking LOATHED him and he loathed russia. He was one of the bigger supporters of Ukraine.
 
I think Lindsey died after reading about Welpers sex life. He was like "Heh, what this little nigga up to an - ARGHHHH MY EYES AND HEART" before stumbling over his office chair and smashing face first into warhammer 40k figure collection except with all the smelly Tau painted with Iran colors.
 
I say we bury him where joe fell

Faggot posting young turks video.. HE POSTED A YOUNG TURKS VIDEO..


i was wrong, you are actually fucking scum. You are stupid, sure, but you are a sort of evil piece of shit and i'll be happy when you get threadbanned for good.

Where does this leave the Senate elections in November if we lose Mitch and Graham?
andy barr (the republican) will win running away in Kentucky. Too soon to tell in SC, i've seen rumors of nancy mace running since she got stomped out in the governor race. Lynch maybe, but he's a massie type loser.

I really don't know fuckall about sc politics, I do know it's a weird fucking state. That gummy nigger tim scott is the other senator from there. And haley was a governor there.
