Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
I want to think that none of them have yet been able to communicate the brilliance of their chess move, but, TBH, I thought that of Benedict Arnold as well.

Changes in mood are only one of the devastating consequences of a severe stroke that continue to impair this guy today. Minimally, he is impaired cognitively, linguistically, and emotionally, and he is likely impulsive, explosive, and egocentric because that's what bad strokes do to people.

OK, he's a quirky impulsive weirdo who had a stroke. Strokes don't discriminate. Whatever you were before, you're worse after a stroke. He 100% suffered severe brain damage as inferred by his weeks long hospitalization in 2022. Inpatient length of stay is highly correlated with severity of injury.

How can this article neglect the severe brain damage he acquired from a massive stroke in May '22? Strokes cause big changes in behavior, intelligence, language, reasoning, judgement, impulsivity & more. Attribute his actions to political whatever, but I see the same behaviors daily in the hospital.

FWIW, Pennsylvania does not have a mechanism to recall Senators. Only the Senate itself can expel him and that's not going to happen.

This is exactly the case. Don't think of it as a psychological reaction to a stroke. Rather, consider that everything we think or feel derives from actual brain tissue. Many strokes literally destroy those parts of the brain that allow us to appreciate the points of view of others. MORE

In August 2022 he had a massive stroke resulting in permanent brain damage. The global cognitive effects of an event like that never resolve and he was left with observable cognitive deficits. This is 100% a Woodrow Wilson situation and someone else--I'll guess Giselle--is pulling the strings.
