I want a job that I dont have to show up to if I’m having a bad day.
Shitty policy and behavior gets a proportional response, is all.
Another fucking Sinema.
seems to me that he’s the one who’s weaponized it.
He is a walking mental health issue. I wish he would go away. I think I regret voting for him more than any other person I’ve ever voted for in my life.
He’s the prime example that suffering a stroke and getting brain damage turns you Republican
This is a shitty take. Fetterman sucks all on his own, with or without the stroke.
well I had a stroke and have brain damage and I’m about as left as it gets so maybe you should get that stupid idea out of your head
I don’t know buddy, you exhibit telltale signs of Republicanism, unable to discern a joke and instantly being agressive for no reason 🤔
Did you really just “it’s just a joke bro” someone who got offended at your bad joke?
I mean… What other time would you actually use the “it’s just a joke bro” thing? You don’t need to use it unless someone is offended.
Still a really shitty thing to say to someone who got brain damage from a stroke
He shared his mental health struggles with friends and colleagues. Then he stopped taking his meds, became combative to his friends and colleagues and flaked on Senate duties. Friends and colleagues took him to task and insisted he address his mental health problems. I would call that support, not weaponization.
Having spent a year and a half in a relationship with a bipolar woman who regularly refused to take her meds, this is a common thing. Goes off the meds, gets paranoid, believes people are out to get them, turns on everyone trying to help.
It’s nearly impossible to get through the mindset that someone in that state is in. I had to take my ex to the hospital twice to get her committed so they could force her to take her meds. It’s horrible, and you fight having to do that to someone you care about, but sometimes it’s the only way to help them.
You’re missing the part where he thinks being an asshole is doing his job.
Naw dawg you being a piece of shit is being weaponized against you, its like being stabbed by a shiv made of your own feces.
Conservatism is a form of brain damage, so I guess it makes sense that it goes both ways.
I know this is a funny joke but the fact this keeps on being repeated can be quite hurtful to actual people with brain damage who are often quite mobility impaired and active in leftist disability rights movements.
showing up for votes and hearings he considers useless.
Must be nice to filter showing up for work based on what you think is useful or not. My teams calendar would be wide open! =D
sorry op i said exactly what your main post did. but still.
The poor dear.
That’s what you get for fucking over your constituents, you massive piece of garbage.
You are being open about mental health issues. Fantastic! I wish we had more and better coverage of mental health in this country.
But here’s the thing: If I have mental health issues and don’t show up to my job a good chunk of the time, I don’t have a job anymore. I could use sick time if I had any. I could use vacation days if I could plan my mental health crises. Other than that I would have to plan all my mental health issues (with proper medical documentation) into one large block of time in which I can’t work so I can use my Long Term Disability insurance. Unless you are rich or powerful, or otherwise don’t work for an employer, Americans don’t have the luxury of taking time for their mental health.
So instead of taking it personally that you are being held to a standard that your constituents are also held to, why don’t you use that power, to which those constituents elected you, to fix the standard for everyone.
Lol if you don’t show up for work, you’re fired. Wtf are we even talking about.
It is. By him, to avoid facing the fact that he either lied through his teeth to get elected, or is a living proof that conservative people have brain problems
as someone that’s had a stroke you are drastically undervaluing his situation
If it’s too hard, he should fucking resign.
Signed, Also someone who’s had a stroke
I fully understand that he’s had a major medical event that might make his life incredibly difficult in some areas. So he SHOULD FUCKING RESIGN. He’s not owed a fucking Senate seat. That piece of shit and everyone around him is a goddamn parasite.
If he needs care, he should absolutely get it. Just not while failing to do his very important job. He’s unfit.
