Sen. Fetterman reflects on 6-week hospitalization for depression: 'I don't even like me. That's the truth'

[Fox News] Resign, then, and keep that power-hungry illegal alien wife away
Fetterman expressed dissatisfaction with the Senate and discussed his depressive episode at the beginning of his term.

Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania reflected on his first six months in office in an interview published Friday in The New York Times.

The senator gave an overall negative appraisal of the legislature, saying his first half-year in the upper house has left him with the impression that the Senate is more focused on drama than governance.

"There’s a fixation on a lot of dumb sh-t. Bad performance art is really what it gets down to. The debt ceiling — there should have been no drama with any of that," Fetterman told the outlet. "The fact that we’re playing with something like that is antithetical to the stability of our democracy. It really is. Everything is turning into a culture war. Not everything has to be a think piece, you know."

An exemplar for rehabbing reps:

#5  Fetterman spoke at length about his bout of depression, which kept him working out of a hospital for over a month.
"It’s a burden, but a privilege, too, to talk about it. It’s also an opportunity to be very bipartisan," he said. "Red or blue, if you have depression, get help, please. Don’t ever, ever, ever harm yourself. Do not leave behind a blueprint of that."


Bet that was a good 45-minute statement, with 3 re-writes and edits for comprehension

#3  Elder and handicapped abuse have become the hallmarks of the entrenched powers in DC. This guy is a clown-show with a broken centerpiece, and anyone who thinks he is the actual, functioning mind behind anything his office says or does is clueless. The literal Junior Senator from Pennsylvania is a mix of professional demokrat staffers and his nasty, hyper-ambitious wife.
