Democratic New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Lujan was hospitalized on Thursday, Jan. 27 due to a stroke, a top aide announced.

[rexthecat]

Until Senator Lujan can return to Washington, the Democrats do not have a working majority in the Senate.

[DoubleNickle]

Thus no confirmation hearing/vote for new SCOTUS nominee...

[Fai Mao]

I hope it takes him months to recover.

[House Atreides]

It sounds like it was a “minor” stroke… as far as strokes go.

[SpeedyInTexas]

“With Lujan absent, Democrats will have to wait to confirm several executive and judicial branch nominees”

Well doesn’t that just s*ck. Biden’s woes get worse. Cry me a tear.

[Seruzawa]

They’ll just hire a body double like they did for Hitlery.

[stars & stripes forever]

Was he vaxed?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

How long until RAT LIBS start offering to donate body parts to him?

[telescope115]

Even a minor stroke can lay someone up for months, but it depends on the individual.

[CedarDave]

Was he vaxed?

He's relatively young, so I suspect he was. Therefore the question is how long ago did he get the vaccine and/or booster?

[AppyPappy]

Assign a proxy

[CedarDave]

At age 48, Lujan is the fifth-youngest Senate Democrat.

[alternatives?]

“Was he vaxed?”

Do you mean really vaxed, or fake vaxed? Will anyone but him ever know?

My 51 year old health nut friend died of a stroke days after he was vaxxed

[maddog55]

Probably a mulligan!!!

[old curmudgeon]

I suspect the first question all of us have is: What is his vaccination history?

Very odd that the several deaths in today’s news do not mention cause, when everyone is interested in cause.

One here in North Carolina that did not end in death, but would have had the coach not been a very quick thinker, was a 17 year old boy in basketball practice.

Afterwards the coach said he had never seen an incident so serious in his 20 years of coaching.

No report as to cause, only that he had a cardiac arrest.

Similar to no picture...don’t need one?

[Salvation]

Which would be interesting.

I’ll get the popcorn.

"Until Senator Lujan can return to Washington, the Democrats do not have a working majority in the Senate"

Then the party of Communism will force him out and have the Commie NM Governor appoint a new and improved Commie Senator.

Here is the fugly witch:

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

It is very important to know if it was an Ischemic (often a blood clot) stroke, or a Hemorrhagic (a pipe burst) stroke, and *where* it was in the brain (cerebellum). Also how quickly it was detected and how soon treatment began.
