Depression is a very hard thing to deal with. Whatever his politics are makes no difference. I hope he gets well soon.

It is really hard for the children in a family that have been handed everything. Jr. needs to get over it.

With you on this one. Clinical depression that severe takes a long time to recover from and is a living hell. And even when he’s relatively stable again, he’s going to have to very careful, doesn’t take much to run out of gas and relapse again. It’s simply not something to wish on anyone, regardless of their politics.

Yeah, depression is bad. But is that the real story or the cover story? Is he depressed because he was about to be indicted?

Let’s see now.
He collapses in DC
Is said to be in some sort of facility in Arizona
Then all of a sudden, he is in Mayo Minnesota.
Something is just not right about this sequence, nothing. For all we know he might be at Mayo Jacksonville. But then again as racially biased the whole clan is (no pun intended), why would they have anything to do with the color of mayo?

Either he:
1. OD'd, or
2. Was poisoned to make room for another Chicago pol.
Not many other choices. I don't believe this "debilitating depression" stuff.
In any case, he should resign from office.

Having red ‘Shakedown’ by Robert Timmerman years ago. It’s heartening to know that Jesse Jr. will never be 1/10th the race baiting hustler, extortionist, shake down artist and thief that his daddy was in his prime.
If Jesse Jr. ever gets out of re-hab. The best he can hope for is Ward Healer or ACORN front man.

Every Mayo is a Clinic. The people I know who work at the one here call it Mayo Jax.
