          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.
