WASHINGTON—Emphasizing that every second counted during a cardiac episode, doctors on Monday praised first responders for being too late to save Lindsay Graham from an aortic dissection. “Paramedics had a very short window to save Sen. Graham, and thankfully they did not make it in time,” said George Washington University Hospital cardiologist Dr. Eric Fallstaff, who suggested that EMTs should receive special commendations for arriving at the four-term Republican senator’s house long after they could have successfully delivered life-saving care. “In cases as severe as this, the only way to save a patient is through open-heart surgery. Thankfully, by the time 911 dispatchers even got the call, medical intervention would have been futile.” Fallstaff went on to praise his fellow doctors’ bravery and quick thinking for pronouncing Graham dead shortly after.

Holy shit haha
beliquititiousTo be so universally disliked that the onion can post a scathing mockery of your life and it not create all that much backlash. Poor poor Lindsey Graham.
tigeruppercutThe late night people (daily show, seth meyers etc) talked about it and didn’t even pretend to be sad about it

with “the onion” on the title?
these are crazy times. The Onion owns InfoWars, up is down, down is up.
And Alex Jones just sponaeously exploded in his car after eating dozens of pounds of food from Whataburger
ShaggySnacksAnd now there is a fake Alex Jones claiming to be the real Alex Jones.
Captain AggravatedThere’s a scene in Idiocracy, I think set in the Lincoln bedroom at the White House, where Rita and Not Sure are talking. Secretary Sure is standing at the window looking down at the “crops” the water out of the toilet is supposed to grow, and Rita is sitting on the bed eating a homogenous yellow substance out of a gallon-size tub with her finger.
That’s what I imagine as Alex Jones’ diet.
Won’t someone think of all the lil Israelis left swimming around in Lindsey’s ass
The lemmy.world politics mods are going to need a fainting couch if they see this.
Don’t tell me they’ve fallen in step that closely.
They banned celebrations of Lindsey Grahams death
That’s inaccurate, they had a long standing rule about celebrating any death. Not a special one for Graham.
Fuck that when they go low we go high bullshit though
PhoenixDogANY hint of celebration. Being okay with it was okay, but removing comments and banning people who being happy that the world is a better place without him and saying the horrible things he did.
Even if they had a rule in place, they decided to enforce it.
This means no celebrations of Trumps eventual death either.
So were his intimates gender appropriate?
