I hope his wife and kids stay safe. Emphasis mine.

The Hidden Struggle of John Fetterman

Fetterman was, according to Jentleson, avoiding the regular checkups advised by his doctors. He was preoccupied with the social-media platform X, which he’d previously admitted had been a major “accelerant” of his depression. He drove his car so “recklessly,” Jentleson said, that staff refused to ride with him. He had also bought a gun.

“He says he has a biometric safe and takes all the necessary precautions, and living where he does I understand the desire for personal protection,” Jentleson wrote, referring to Fetterman’s rough-and-tumble town of Braddock, Pennsylvania. “But this is one of the things you said to flag, so I am flagging.”

We got it backwards, gang.

It's not that brain-damaged gerontocrats keep geting voted into the Congress, it's sort of a Cursed Building situation, the building turns all who enter into a brain-damaged gerontocrat.

Truly the best solution is to dissolve the US government until we can figure out what is going on.

Proximity to the Apotheosis of Washington drives everyone mad. Sort of a lovecraftian situation.
