Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Apparently brain damage and fascism correlate.
Yeah, brain damage and right-wing thinking are heavily intertwined
questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do”
Oh come the fuck on, you know exactly why.
They need to stop calling him a Democrat. He's not one.
They need to keep calling him a democrat. He lied about being a progressive to get into office and then made a hard right turn. The only thing more emblematic of the democratic party is blaming the left when pandering to the right fails.
That cock ain't one of us
"WHY is everybody MAD at me people HATE me WHAT did i EVER do to YOU" idk man maybe bc ur whining like a child because people disagree with you
All he has to do to get them off his back is to resign. He's not being forced to stay in a job that makes both him and his constituents miserable.
Bets on how long before this dude records a collab track with Kanye?
I reckon I like me some fried taters, mmmm hmmm
It’s incredible how many passes he’s gotten since his stroke. He’s been spiraling hard. Megalomania, paranoia, and overall reckless behavior have become more common traits, but according to him he’s fine, he says while seething through clenched teeth.
he got the passes til he started to become the AIPAC cheerleading for ISRAEL, and went crying to BILL MAHER of all people.
Gets brain damage
Becomes conservative snowflake
I think it was more like money damage.... Being offered enough to completely abandon former thoughts and goals.
he was pretty much a A-HOLE before he strokes, the stroke just removed all inhibitions from him.

Probably the immediate about-face he took on every single stance he had prior to his stroke...
People tend to get mad when you campaign on helping people then turn into a fascist supporter

Prior to his election. Stop blaming the stroke for a democrat acting like a democrat.

Raises alarms? It sounds like he had a mental breakdown and caused his staffers to as well.

As somebody that has suffered from a stroke, I can pretty much relate to what John is going through here as I used to suffer from emotional outbursts early into my recovery as well. While I cannot promise you that it's the same thing exactly it sure seems awfully familiar and hopefully he can recover like I did.
