[kimbutgar]

Fuck you Fetterman 🤬

Sorry for breaking the don’t bash Democrats rule!

[MustLoveBeagles]

1. It wasn't just him

Another Dem voted for him too.

[kimbutgar]

2. Who was the other traitor dem that we need to vote out when they run for re-election ?

I just changed over to watching Below deck for escapism!

[MustLoveBeagles]

3. Martin Heinrich N.M

[graycampervan]

13. Heinrich

Which is why we lose to the repigs so much. They stick together which is what the dems should do.

[W_HAMILTON]

20. That goes for their voters vs our voters as well.

[littlemissmartypants]

14. Yes, and they are known for having worked together on several things and are considered "friends. "...

Oh, well..

[UTUSN]

4. Bro-dom trumps.

[2naSalit]

5. FUCK!!

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. Can't let you hang alone. Fuck you Fetterman.

It’s worth saying because it needed to be said.

[flashman13]

7. Rules are made to be broken. I don't believe Fetterman is anyone's idea of a Democrat.

[littlemissmartypants]

19. Fetterman is broken as a result of the stroke(s) he had and quite possibly may still be having.

I wish there was a mental fitness rule being used to police our legislators. I'd much rather discuss that parameter than age.

Fetterman quite likely had at least one and probably additional subsequent right hemisphere infarctions. One stroke is almost always followed by another.

That type, the right hemisphere stroke, is notorious for usually leaving the patient with mobility and limb functions intact, but with judgment and personality severely damaged.

The patients' abilities to problem solve, control executive function, and have meaningful insight into their limitations are enormous problems in rehabilitation affecting work, family life, and the usual understanding of acceptable societal expectations.

They are extremely difficult to help and can be serious dangers to themselves and others.

I know. I used to participate as a member of a team of specialists who tried to help them and their families.

Quite sad, really.

Their personalities often change dramatically and irreversibly.

Anosognosia, which is a frequent concomitant feature, is one of the greatest drawbacks that rehabilitation medicine can face.

It's present in other health conditions, too, like schizophrenia and is an unbreakable barrier in most cases where the goal is to achieve positive outcomes for the patients and families.

This should probably be an OP. I will add it to my journal and maybe elaborate on it later.

Right now, I'm going to bed. I think I may have been enough of a useful contributing member of society today for now.

I hope that I didn't go overboard. Y'all might miss me, and I can't swim.

Sweet dreams to anyone who reads this.

Thanks for the inspiration, flashman13.

Stay encouraged. ❤️

8. Heinrich's a very good Senator here ...

Surprised to see his vote. I will see what I can find on his motive.

[niyad]

16. Post 14 said. Heinrich posted somewhere about what great friends

they were and how well they worked together. It was fairly nauseating.

[multigraincracker]

9. I'm old enough to remember some of

the old Southern Dems, George Wallace for one.
Every thing changes over time and nothing is black and white, it’s all gray.

[pfitz59]

10. Who will replace him in the Senate?

Likely someone even worse. As for DHS. Might as well 'flush' any hopes of improvement.

[AverageOldGuy]

11. IF we still have elections in 2028

Add those two “Democrats” to the list who must face Judgement at Nuremberg .

[orleans]

12. damn!

(here i go out to dinner to celebrate my daughter's 38th birthday, had a lovely time, get home and see *this* post. kinda puts a damper on the end of a nice long weekend. crap!)

and fetterman -- FUCKER! fucker fucked us again (along with the other dem senator who voted w/him)

[Wiz Imp]

15. Fetterman's and Heinrich's votes here were irrelevant.

Paul was the only Republican to vote No. So, Mullin would have been confirmed regardless.

However, Fetterman voted Yes in committee. If he had voted no, the nomination would have never gone to the floor. That is the vote he should be criticized for.

[niyad]

17. What are the odds on another stroke?

[Crowman2009]

18. Hey I bashed Sellout Sinema a few years earlier.

Welcome to the club! 😁
