The politically connected continue to get tested. But there are nurses who were exposed to COVID-19 sitting on the sidelines because they can't get tests to confirm they won't infect patients. Testing this Senator, who just took a 3-day vacation, deprived us of one more nurse.

Lindsey Graham ✔@LindseyGrahamSC

I was just informed by Dr. Moynihan, the head of the House Physicians Office, that my coronavirus test was NEGATIVE.

I’m very grateful and like everyone else will follow the best practices to stay negative.

8:31 AM - Mar 17, 2020

And they wasted one on Gaetz, Trump, etc...

1. +++++

Walt Shaub. No “c”. American Hero. Poet Laureate.

OMG, we could actually get Mr. Shaub back into our government to root out the cheaters liars scammers thieves grifters and scumbuckets clinging to the federal teat!!!!!

Let’s all live long enough to see that!!!

[OhNo-Really]

2. The Hunger Games Elite - oh btw

It takes more than one test. They could become positive tomorrow.

[KPN]

13. THIS!

[JudyM]

17. We can only hope. Seriously, I wish they were all out of commission for a long time so we could

get some real progress for the country.

[dalton99a]

3. Because Republican senators are busy people with important work to do

[eppur_se_muova]

14. By "do", of course, you mean "block". nt

[Captain Zero]

24. well by 'do' in Lindsay's case, he could mean teen boys.

just sayin...

Selfish assholes.

[FailureToCommunicate]

7. Pass it along.

[calimary]

15. Yep. EXCELLENT graphic.

[crickets]

16. +1

[sheshe2]

20. + infinity.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. We need to correct that obscenity. ...

Members of Congress should receive no more benefits than the constituents they represent.

That would get some action in a hurry.

[jimfields33]

26. How? You think they will vote to refuse congress from getting tested?

No way will that ever happen.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

27. The goal is to provide more, not restrict more.

[Cozmo]

8. Abuse of Power

As if we care about the health of this jerk!

[Wounded Bear]

9. Well, Lindsay does have "staying negative" down pat...

[Scarsdale]

10. Graham tests negative on more than just

the coronavirus. Spine - Negative, scruples- Negative, honesty - Negative. He is a tiny little ass kisser for tRump. He had to be tested because he spends time at Mar-A-Lardo regularly. Little Lindsey always has to attach himself to someone with more power than he has, to make himself feel important. Why do his constituents re-elect him every time? He is USELESS. These worthless "representatives" should be ashamed to admit that they used a test that could have been used on someone with VALUE to their communities.

[southerncrone]

18. Exactly!

I question many Repukes who are elected time & again. Makes one suspect this Russian interfering in elections has been going on for a long, long, time.
We needed to spend more time & energy getting rid of these electronic voting machines that were forced upon us by the dreaded "hanging chad". How did we EVER let that argument hold any water!

[rickyhall]

11. Fuck you Lindsnee

[oldsoftie]

12. He's not "politically connected", he IS a politician. ALL of them should be tested.

They are the ones who will have to pass bills to provide money, etc, to help get thru this shit.
Yesterdays bill passed with only 38 "no" votes. THATS a bipartisan bill. I'm sure theres stuff in it we dont like, but they're acting.
If they got exposed and had to stay away, would they be allowed legally to vote remotely? I dont know. If the answer is no, then they need to stay clean
And now is NOT the time for someone to start pushing to give them MORE power to do more stuff we wont like AFTER this is over. Because i bet someone somewhere is thinking it

[RhodeIslandOne]

23. It is idiotic these people cannot go home and vote via Skype or whatever

Of course, then we can't MAKE DEALS AKA RETHUGS HOLDING US HOSTAGE.

[oldsoftie]

25. Do we KNOW that's not legal? Because thats what they SHOULD do if its allowed.

[Alea]

19. There are Democrat Lawmakers on self quarantine too

Have they refused testing? This is stupid.

[kcr]

28. "democrat lawmakers"

Oops.

[RhodeIslandOne]

22. If he were positive, would he tell us?
