He hasn't looked good the last couple days. All sweaty and his eyes weren't looking right. Today he was coughing and clearing his throat. Pushing ahead as he did, is he afraid he won't be able to hide anything tomorrow. Did he sit there for the last few days putting everyone else is danger? He looked sick! I don't know, I am not a doctor but if I worked with him I would want him to go home.
If all of this is true, what is hanging over his head that he would risk the death of himself or fellow senators to push this through?
Lindsey, you look awful! See a doctor. Get a test.

(26,257 posts)Here's a blurb from Spring of this year (you're aware of I'm sure)...I suspect that he was sick that first time in the Spring of this year, and it's looking more and more per your note (I haven't seen LG lately) that LG is sick again. This time around, the CV (from what I hear) is going to do a number on LG. I've heard that reinfections do occur and the reinfections are worse the 2nd time around.
Take care and be safe!!

Truly appreciate the care package from @FLOTUS Melania Trump and President @realDonaldTrump.
Cant wait to get back to work with the President and my Senate colleagues to contain coronavirus and stabilize the economy.

Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) March 14, 2020
Wait a minute. This card from Melania Trump says Hope you feel better soon. There has been no reporting that Graham had any coronavirus symptoms; he was merely quarantining himself in case it turned out he was infected. So is Melania just being incredibly tone-deaf here, or does this mean that Graham really is sick?

Mike Nelson
(10,943 posts)... if he was at the event. He could have been drinking wine with Amy Barrett, though... she mentioned needing a drink after the first day, and I believe Lindsay Graham gave some words of approval. I got the impression he would be having some wine, too.
PatSeg
(53,214 posts)I'm quite he does a bit of drinking these days. Meanwhile, he has to worry about losing his own election on top of everything else.

WyattKansas
(1,648 posts)Aside from his test refusal, it may be very shameful for him with his conservative base to lose his re-election to a black man in South Carolina and it is making him feel sick at the humiliation coming from his friends... Oh my, and then what if leaks happened, because he failed to win for those who put him in power. Frankly, it is no wonder he hasn't gone bonkers yet.

(7,604 posts)If Graham had to go on a ventilator, he wouldn't be in the mental or physical shape to leave a hospital room. That virus drains all of the energy out of a person. They really don't want to move, and it's because of the physical damage the virus does. If Graham goes on a ventilator, he's toast.

Eyeball_Kid
(7,604 posts)Could there be enough GOP Senators who've gotten infected to be hospitalized when the floor vote is scheduled? It looks like some of the Senators are dragging themselves to the hearing instead of quarantining. We can always be hopeful for odd twists and turns. Nothing is certain.
Salviati
(6,059 posts)That when you decide that that victory at any cost is the only acceptable outcome, that you end up invariably with a defeat that costs you everything.
If these fuckers knowingly pressed forth with railroading this justice onto the court, in the face of suspected, or worse confirmed, but hidden, covid diagnoses, then I really hope it tears through the gop caucus, with the inevitable outcomes, and that the future Biden administration makes it all moot anyway by expanding the court anyway, and rationalizing the system by which the Supreme Court operates.

(7,811 posts)He will carry that with him for the rest of his life. It is like being a leprosy survivor. You will always be considered a leper.
He will be a "Trumper" until the day he dies.

until Senators like Feinstein stop thanking the GrOPers for driving the knife into their backs.
Feinstein thinks this is just fine. She's forgotten Garland.
Lindsey and McConnel will chuckle all the way to the bank about the help they got from folks like DiFi. "Did you see? We stole Obama's nomination, we stole RBG's seat, and she THANKED me for it! HAHAHAHA!"

AleksS
(1,718 posts)It's wrong, probably, but if his desire for power, and to push Barrett onto the SC actually kills him, I will not be disappointed in the least. If he infects anyone else out of his drive for power and slavish devotion to Trumpism, then I will cheer every moment he sits on a ventilator, applaud every blood clot that fills his black putrescent lungs, and hurrah every rupture in the cold dark twisted fibres of what, in others, would be termed a heart. It will not be near enough to justice, but it will be something.

And he's refused to get tested.
It all adds up to something not good - for him OR for anyone who's been around him for the last few weeks.
