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.
