This sentence mentions just a minor thing. But it's filmic and it sort of creeps me out that he sits there in the dark.
The fucking article doesn't explain why? But if Fetterman were to say it's a post-stroke health issue and lighting can bother him - I don't know if I'd believe that. I think he's deeply fucked up.
I mean, it sounds like he's profoundly depressed which was an ongoing thing for him before his stroke. To be clear, you can be any awful evil person AND depressed lol
He does not have to keep being a senator, he can resign any time citing health concerns or whatever. He's doing this all to himself and I guess the dems have to reap those consequences because no one wants to lean on him to just fucking go already (cause otherwise they'd have even fewer senators even though the only critical thresholdsare 49 and 39 to at least get to filibuster)
I mean even in this situation I'd rather keep making $174,000 a year. Not like he's gonna find another job that's any good unless it's even more embarrassing than this one.
could be just typical anti-social phone addiction/doom scrolling
People doomscroll in the dark? If I started doing that - I'd be broken within a week or two.
The senator is doom scrolling in a dark office
