    I wouldnt be mean to him if he stepped down from power, but hes holding onto power despite his incapacity, despite his total change of priority and alliances from what he told his electors

    He is harming and misrepresenting his state and constituents

        Yes, the whole situation is quite sad. There have been whistleblowers from his office who have shared how bad he has gotten, and there have been multiple police incidents now from his dangerous driving. I think he finally alienated everyone who genuinely cared about him or believed in him before the stroke, the only people left around him are the ones exploiting his diminished capacity for their own ends. I expect him to kill himself in a car crash honestly, he is notorious for driving like a total maniac since the stroke. I guess he enjoys driving but now that he has poor impulse control and other issues from the brain damage he is a very dangerous driver yet refuses to stop even though he could be driven anywhere he wants.

        there are a lot of ways that strokes can permanently change your life, including physical and mental deficits, but suddenly accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid and abet a genocide is simply not a stroke symptom.

        also if we’re gonna get all misty eyed over this poor little politician who had a stroke, wheres the compassion for all the men women and children all over the middle east who have received permanent brain damage as a direct result of legislation that this man- who is alert and fucking oriented, knows exactly who and where he is and what he is doing- voted for?

          Same place.
          Are you saying I can’t have empathy for multiple people?
          Or that you can’t?

            the man you are expressing concern for has personally aided and abetted the killing of thousands of civilians. you aren’t acknowledging his vile misdeeds, only telling the people who understand this and are justifiably upset with him to give him a pass on all these murders because he had a stroke.

            grievous loss of ability seems to matter a lot more for you when it happens to a rich white senator.

              When I see people blaming the thousands of civilians he’s personally aided and abetted the killing of for what they are now, I’ll defend them also.
