Have you ever been in the Capitol building? It is hotter than hell in certain parts. (The temp is likely set for the 80-year-olds in Congress).
That aside, strokes have the ability to alter one’s feeling of temperature. Fetterman also has a large growth on the rear of his neck. His doctor very likely wrote an accommodation request to allow him to wear relaxed clothing to keep the growth from being rubbed against by way of a tight fitting shirt and tie and his clothing to be such that he did not need to be in a suit at all times for those reasons. Congress altered the dress code for everyone shortly after he arrived. That was very likely done to accommodate him given he is the only one using it.
My mother always told me, “You get what you give.” I encourage you to remember that. Making fun of anyone with a disability can be returned to you in some form later in life. That is why you “Always treat people as you want to be treated.” Fetterman should be respected as a Congressman. I hope you will see him differently given what I took the time to write. He has made tremendous progress recovering from this stroke. I, personally, am proud of him for not resigning and showing this country that many who suffer medical obstacles are capable of doing jobs with accommodations if afforded the opportunity.
@cheersbigears01@tompfoster@ahmedhankir God bless you. My friend was in a similar situation. You aren’t alone. Enjoy Christmas. Reflect on the good times. 😊
Mental challenges don’t get put on hold for Christmas. When a mentally disturbed person shows up in the ER, a skilled doctor is needed to afford treatment and prepare paperwork for transfer. Doctors on the ER floor don’t have time to deal with these complex patients. This man (and all psychiatrists) are trained to deal with patients in these complex circumstances and they have the skill set to understand the mind like no other physician. In a busy ER, the on call psychiatrist is vital. These patients are disruptive and put the ER in a tailspin. Without a trained, skilled psychiatrist who can expedite a transfer out, the ER easily unwinds.
This man has a vital job in the ER. This isn’t about solving/permanently treating/fixing the patient’s complex mental health issue. It is about his willingness to step forward and process the patients so they can receive needed treatment in secure settings (loved ones, hospital, mental health, etc.) while his colleagues enjoy Christmas with friends and family.
Anyway, Merry Christmas!
I am perplexed about allowing animals—of any variety—in the cabin of an aircraft. Absent the animal being a seeing eye dog, I don’t think we should be traveling with animals in confined spaces for one reason: allergies. When you’re in a tight cabin with a horrible allergy to cats and one is planted next to you, it’s not good.
@RepSwalwell Expressing your genuine, sincere concern about a fellow lawmaker is respectable. To intertwine politics with it shows your thought pattern is consumed entirely with political grandstanding.
@BenSasse Your words were so inspiring. I got tearful as I read what you wrote. You captured what I’m sure many in your situation are struggling to say. I wish the very best for you. God bless you.
@RepYassAnsari Stop making everything so partisan. This post shows you truly don’t care about the victims whatsoever. I don’t care what side of the aisle these people were on, if they abused children they deserve prison time—end of story.
Clinton is more than a pig. He should be criminally charged—and every single one of those offenders (if Trump is among them) should be charged too. However, the release so far shows that there are quite a few men who need to face charges. There is more evidence that has yet to be released. If it shows Trump engaged in unlawful activity with minors, he needs to be put in a prison cell next to the others.
Your page is consumed with Trump. Get counseling. Perhaps you will come to realize that Epstein and his cohorts—who were of both political parties, all races, colors, economic levels, etc.—raped and sexually assaulted victims. YOU SHOULD BE VOICING CONDEMNATION FOR ALL OF THEM.
So, this is truly about politics for you? You care nothing about the victims of the files that have been released and finally have justification to let the world know they were abused? Moreover, you know darn well that all files have not yet been released. Trump’s files (if any) are likely coming. As a lawmaker your post today should be a condemnation of the men/women who abused those children and a call for them to be charged. Your silence on that front and political attack says it all.
I’m more convinced than ever that you aren’t truly concerned about the innocent children in this matter. Personally, the offenders—regardless of their name, celebrity/political status, skin colder, ethnicity, or economic tier—need to be held accountable. You as a lawmaker should have that as your aim. Moreover, you should be honest and affirm that more photos/emails have yet to be released. You political reps don’t deserve the role you’re given if you can’t absorb the general principle the people as a whole want: we don’t want sex offenders excused due to status. They need to be shamed and prosecuted.
@DrRitaDed These aren’t “your kids.” If my child were in your class she would make whatever Christmas card/drawing she desired and would speak as she wished. I would ensure that was the case. Your censorship/thought police nonsense isn’t education.
He should take the high ground because he is President of the USA. All he needed to do was simply say he was sorry to hear about the loss and he affords condolences to the family and friends. Then he could have moved on. Instead, he behaved like a five-year-old. Honestly, our country desperately needs respectable adults in political office. There are only a few in there today.
I admire your dedication to a cause you believe in. I ask you to open your eyes and realize that our country has serious unresolved issues. Additional regulations aren’t our primary need at this time. We need manageable costs for health insurance, food, housing and the like. Stop printing money. Inflation is killing us. Work for solutions/compromises on the most pressing issues affecting citizens’ everyday lives. As a lawmaker we aren’t looking to you to fund anything other than our basics right now. Fix the essentials and then go from there.
This is the most important issue? Seriously? Are you not paying attention to what is happening in this country and our world? Geez, we could give a crap about the interests of a handful of musicians/artists. Our country needs to be taking on much more significant issues. You need to be replaced if you can’t see that.
@RepJeffries We’ve deserved better for quite some time. You were silent under the prior administration’s flop, but are very vocal now? Shows this post isn’t genuine. It’s a politically-driven ploy. No thanks.
