Stroke and severe brain damage makes a perfect pedophile protector.

he was always conservative, his stroke dis inhibited his true colors, it has shown people with stroke always have behavirous change to right wing fundamentalism. look at people like kevin sorbo, jim cavaziel, J peterson, and kirk cameron(he had it from drugs apparently), less known tia tequila, the filipino lady who had a show before who became a rabid right winger after a strok.

Otters are a keystone predator for mega-invertebrates. Collapse in their populations allowed the modern democratic party to rise.

We wont see center right politicians with spines until the otter population is restored.

I liked him because he wasn't Dr. Oz. Now he's praising Oz and the rest of the MAGAt take over.

When the guy who's famous for not wearing suits starts wearing suits, the sellout isn't hard to see.

I hate that you're right.

He's gonna need soooooo many AIPAC dollars....

If you don't believe that conservative ideas in general, and MAGA ideas in particular, take root in feeble minds, Fetternan is proof.

People who vote based on loyalty don't seem to underatand this

Should have cognitive tests for campaigning or sitting members of government if they have a stroke. Guy had a stroke in 2022 got aphasia and then had severe depression in 2023. He was mid campaign when most of it happened so the Dems didn't want to replace him as he had all the momentum against Oz.

He should be running free, on a farm somewhere.

I wish liberals would stop saying this. His brain didn't break. The democrats got duped.

His career will continue with the republicans where he was always gravitating to. The "progressive" label was used just to get his big foot in the door. The Dems got duped.

I understand where you are coming from, but I think that recalls would be much more effective.

You like many Americans are trying to solve cultural rot by putting in more rules. "If only we had a rule that ___" this wouldn't have happened. That's not going to solve this. Being a congress-person is a skill. It requires actual skill, and it takes time to get to know how to be most effective. You can put in this rule if you want, and it might solve the problem you're targeting, but it will create many more. You can't solve problems caused by cultural rot (literally tens of millions of voters being okay with this) by putting in more administrative rules. Ultimately , democracies grant the people the power to destroy democracy. That is what the US is choosing.

None of the top democracies have term limits for their representatives. Term limits do nothing to prevent people from electing shitheads.

That’s just it, most off these guys don’t consider their voters to be constituents, only the billionaire class.

“Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities - and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, […] you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.

Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans.

So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here… like, the public.” – George Carlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBrbXOmnW70

More reps, shorter terms, recallable, chosen by sortition, etc, etc, etc. Or whatever we can all agree on.

Congressmen (and women)

Pedantic and off topic, but it would have been a shit ton easier if we just add a masculine prefix (alternative to "wo") and leave "man" as a gender neutral one since you and so.many others can't accept the current set up.

Something extra douchey like "heman/hemen", so that all the douches would eagerly use it.

And everyone can just go back to using "man" as a gender neutral option like most languages were built around.

So we could say "Congressmen" to describe humans in Congress.

Like, what are you even suggesting?

Congresswomen? "Congress women"? "Women who are in Congress"?

Do you understand why none of those make sense?

It's because "congressmen" is already gender neutral.

"Mankind" literally includes everyone. Women, men, nonbinary, furries, saxophone players, your mother-in-law, literally every human

Why are you so hung up on genitals, that you insist they be brought up at every moment? How do you care enough to put that effort in, but never actually got pedantic enough to see what was correct?

Wrong type of scale. it’s a way of conveying a 2 part question. Do you like him or dislike him? Ok, now how much do you like or dislike him?

This goes:

HATE -100…………….0…………….+100 LOVE
