Caution if you do not want to see--Photo of Sen Lindsey Graham being taken to ambulance





Graham is covered in gear including an oxygen mask, and a device automating chest compressions, as multiple medics quickly moved him to the ambulance.

Moments like this remind us how quickly life can change, regardless of politics.

It's beyond ridiculous that a US Senator can go an unlimited amount of time without proving they are actualy still with us.

The KY legislature also stripped him of being able to appoint McConnells senate replacement.

He did call on McConnell to update the public on what’s going on.

including falls and times when he just froze up and was unresponsive for minutes at a time.

He's been "near the end" for quite a while now.

I get HIPPA & all that, but there's simply too many people wandering around an ICU floor (where I assume he is) for someone to not to blow the whistle if hes really in bad shape or brain dead or whatever.

I do not begrudge Graham this care. I just want it also for every other human being.

It is very begrudging when the ass holes that vote against and stop any progress for the rest of us to get health care.
Especially when their’s is an “entitlement” mostly covered by us that pay taxes.
But at least Lindsay can not pass his entitlement on to a spouse 30 years younger than him, or worse a spouse that was fast tracked (epstien) immigrant that most likely contributed nothing into the system, that we will cover for 30 plus years after her sugar daddy is with Graham and Mitch.

They should have just called the coroner. (IMHO.)
