      There’s always a potential fall-guy future-lobbyist in the Democratic party. At least this one has verified brain damage!

    Fuckin Fetterman. Guy feels like an intentional personification of ‘don’t get your hopes up.’ Even the relative ambiguity around how much the stroke changed his personality; how dizzying.

      The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
