Well Feinstein is (thankfully) going to retire…I was afraid we were heading into another Strom Thurmond era. I think there have been a lot of attacks on Fetterman that might not be deserved. Being open about depression or any mental illness, or a stroke is certainly dangerous, tbe sharks are circling. However, he was voted in, and he wasn’t like Santos.Actually ----- you make me think. It's becoming clear, sadly, that Fetterman is a LOT like George Santos in that his campaign lied thru their teeth about him. They lied thru their teeth about how he was doing after that stroke, and it is obvious now, between the gazumpteen special disability tactics they are using for him on the Senate floor and now the fainting spell and then checking into the hospital, that he's not doing great.
I'm not from Pennsylvania and didn't vote in that election, but I thought Fetterman might do all right --- so many stroke victims do indeed recover quite a lot of functions, or all. Okay, he's not recovering as well as some do. Given how Feinstein just goes on and on despite a lot of loss of function, I wonder if Fetterman just needs to get used to some disability.
I am expecting him to resign, but I'm the world's worst predictor.
