Well then maybe you need to get your stupid fucking ass out of that office.

I'll take, "What might someone with severe brain damage say?" for $500, Alex.
If his staffers had any ethics they would all quit, but same as Meta workers they will sit and collect their check while being "concerned."
I mean, a bunch have actually quit?
That is good to hear :) Apologies to those folks who have a backbone.
The man can't even complete his sentences properly. Should have had a competency hearing day 1 after recovering from his stroke.
Is that why I have difficulty parsing this message?
“How should it cost? Free?” he wrote. “I don’t understand what affordability it is.”
OK, he forgot "much", but what's the argument here?
And does he mean the last sentence literally?
edit: oh, it's 4k annually, not monthly. So like 1k per person. That would be cheaper than anything I've seen/heardof/experienced anywhere in Europe. I want to see that article.
Messages obtained by New York Magazine show the Democrat mocking free healthcare, dismissing the Epstein files as a “nothing burger,” and calling Democrats hypocritical for their outrage at the killing of nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Fetterman has been a thorn in his party’s side on a host of issues.
$4000 for a family? Yeah I don't think so.
Annually? Try monthly. Are they completely ignoring the cost of insurance? Health insurance costs around $800-1000 per person. I guess if you ignore the cost of insurance when it’s employer provided, then you get insured people spending that much annually before meeting the deductible, self insured spending 1k per month and uninsured people spending as little as possible for wildly inadequate care. This is definitely a case where a straight mean can’t possibly tell the whole story. But why would we want a fucking senator capable of understanding that?
Who would've thought that letting a retarded stroke victim from coal mining country into Congress would be a bad thing? Remember when Dems were rally around this guy because he dressed like a bum?
Do you think the country would be better off with Senator Mehmet Oz?
Because that was Pennsylvania's choice: Mehmet Oz or John Fetterman.
If you go back to the primary, it was Fetterman or Conor Lamb, a US Rep who - although he voted against Nancy Pelosi for Speaker - also voted to deregulate small banks and against de-scheduling cannabis.
F'man was the real deal before his stroke. An actual man of the people. His brain is paranoid soup now.
