Who will attend Lindsey Graham's funeral

I bet not even Trump. Maybe his old buddy Mitch McTurtle, yeah right good luck with that. Maybe if Chuckie Grasssley can remember what day it is long enough. Melania might just care this time even if you don't.

Strom Thurmond and Lester Maddox would have gone, but Satan wouldn’t grant them the leave if absence.

probably most of the current senators and congress critters who can, it's an expected part of their duties. As for anyone else, it'll probably be the crowd who's attitude is anybody-whose-anybody,-darling crowd, i.e., the rich and famous. The seen and be seen crowd, who really don't care what the event is, it's more important to be seen at the event.

I hope the bottle doesn't collect too much more dust.
