TL;DR Summary

Joe Lieberman, the former long-serving Connecticut senator, passed away, leaving behind a controversial legacy as a right-wing mole within the Democratic Caucus, warmonger, and corporate marionette. Throughout his career, he supported foreign wars, undermined the Democratic Party, and worked closely with the Republican establishment. After leaving the Senate, he continued to advocate for war with Iran and capitalized on his political favors for corporations. Despite his divisive record, Lieberman received fawning praise from press outlets and continued to exert influence in Washington politics even after his political career.
