I’m not aware of what the Russian government has said about this.

My position is to follow the evidence.

US intelligence has a long history of lying to the American people. Do you usually believe people who lie and don’t provide evidence?

It’s just a conspiracy theory at this point.

If you care this fucking much start trying to build the political will to go for impeachment or present a candidate to run against him. You won't because you know that depression is relatable because most families had someone who dealt with clinical depression and him being honest and open about it is relatable and trying to remove him for it makes you even more of the bad guy.

So you go with this empty "I'm just asking questions" schtick. At least have the courage of your convictions. If you want blood try to stick in the knife not this bullshit "I'm just saying" crap.

The electorate decided that he was fit to serve when they elected him. His health issues were known and documented to the electorate. It was blasted all over the news, by both the right and left leaning outlets.

The electorate still preferred him to Oz, who I will be generous in saying was a less than ideal candidate.

Once his health is in order and his medication is straightened out, we the electorate expect him to represent us in the senate as he was elected to do.

If his condition progresses to the point where he cannot serve, then the democratic governor will appoint a democrat to the seat which will result in a special election in ‘24.

Not much of a discussion to be had really. Seems pretty straightforward.

"Would you hire him to manage your business?"

He has a diagnosed mental health illness for which he is receiving the best treatment available. As someone with loved ones that have suffered strokes and others that had mental illnesses, this is repugnant to me.

The reason few are attacking him on this is because the stigma on these issues has long passed for good reason. Put it this way, if he was a manager in a business it would be illegal to fire him because of it.

Let's put it this way: Lincoln spent his entire life and presidency suffering from what is now known as depression.
