Depression sucks.

He should resign and deal with it properly. He needs to rehab correctly and address the causes of the depression.

He will end up with a pistol in his mouth if he doesn’t.

Well, his one benefit for getting into Congress is immediate access to good healthcare on the government dime.

All politics aside, I do too. The stroke wasn’t his fault. I can even relate to his continuing to run for office after the stroke in the hopes that its effects would lessen with the passage of time.

Rush L. said that no one can imagine what total deafness is like, if they haven’t experienced it for themselves. I don’t think that anyone can imagine what Fetterman is going through either. Hearing people, but not being able to understand them has to be awful. His depression is natural and I can’t imagine any treatment for depression that’s going to actually help him.

His stroke shattered his hopes and dreams right when he was on the cusp of achieving them. He’s going to have to resign his seat, I’m sure he knows that, and that’s even more cause for depression.

Politically, his replacement will be worse, since he or she will actually be able to do things in the Senate.

The cause of his depression? Likely his wife as she appears to have put him in this position.

Well, he can’t vote from a hospital bed and Feinstein doesn’t know where she is. That’s basically two down.

Unhappy marriage. I have a happy marriage and there is no way in hell that I could feel even slightly depressed. He is probably getting somewhere that is safe because he is a candidate for euthanasia based on his “quality of life”. His wife is the only thing between him and a merciful death. I have to think she is very concerned about his “quality of life”.

“I feel sorry for the guy.”

Don’t..he (and his party) would take every last thing you own starting with your guns and likely throw your ass in jail if he could.

His wife is going to be pushing for that job but it doesn’t make sense.
