GOP will “surprisingly” find just enough “mavericks” to vote for Biden’s nominee. No matter how many dems stroke out, resign, are too drunk to show up, whatever ... the GOP will find enough “mavericks” to get it done for them. Like they always do on the big thing that are too important to pretend for the base.

He had a brain bleed...clots in the brain(caused by vax or by other causes) don’t cause a need for “decompressive surgery”.

The vaxxes maybe causing more embolic or thrombotic strokes but not bleeds. Brain bleeds that occur spontaneously are often caused by inherited defects in the vascular systems...avm’s or aneurisms. Now a recent blow to the head with a slow leaking artery might also cause issues such as subdural bleeds(can have an insidious onset of symptoms over a few days or weeks) or epidural bleeds..(need for immediate action the “walky talky then suddenly dead a half hour later bleed after accident types.. Subarachnoid bleeds and intracerebral bleeds are other types of bleeds that might need immediate attention depending on severity and symptoms. A person could have a blow to the head with subarachnoid hemorrhage but if symptoms are stable or negligeable and the CT scans the next day don’t show any progression or brain shift due to increased pressure than the bleed will resolve itself without complication...that is if MRI scans don’t show any dramatic axonal torsional tearing(related to the kinetic force transferred from the blow to the head into the brain thru the skull).

It was cerebellar so balance and co-ordination and proprioception will be affected. Vertigo may be experienced. His frontal lobes and personality shouldn’t be too affected other than the emotional challenges he faces over any long term life style changes he might have to learn to deal with.

I worry if, his mobilization is affected, it will make him more of a wacked off angry Democrat!

It would be really awful if something happened to a GA Senator ...

Trump could take them BOTH out in a week by filing a quo warranto naming them as lacking authority to represent AZ in Congress because they cannot 'prove' the election which seated them was 'LAWFUL'. Clearly election materials that were required to be retained for 22 months is missing or spoiled, and their election cannot be 'proved up'. The affected Senators have no presumption of 'innocence', they must prove their authority to hold the seats in Congress.

Lujan’s recovery and presumed absence from Washington could complicate Democrats’ efforts to quickly appoint a successor to retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.

Never stopped Sen. Byrd from voting.

Lujan should have streaming video set up in his room — New Mexican Jumping Pillows suffocated a Supreme Court Justice, and might strike again if politically expedient.

Not to mention that Feinstein and Leaky Leahy can barely walk to the Senate well.

And Leahy is from Vermont, which has a Republican governor.

Luckily, Democrats never step aside for the “greater good,” so as long as he doesn’t croak but remains out-of-commission all is well.
