While he is taking paid leave to treat his depression, he is also trading stocks to make even more money. You have to wonder just how depressed he is if he is ordering stock trades.

The government didn't supply him with his salary or health care...THE TAX PAYERS DID!!! These hypocritical pricks can fuck right off!!! We deserve the same health care, in their case they're entitlements, that they get!!! FUCK THEM ALL ESPECIALLY MAGA AND CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS!!!

Nasty how he never let his constituents know where he was and why he was not doing his job.

He doesn't give a fuck about them. He just worries about getting paid to do nothing.

This is a case for universal healthcare. I agree he should have told his constituents why he was in the hospital, not necessarily the diagnosis, but they deserved some form of communication, which he wasn’t doing. And while I agree that depression is an illness and can be a very severe one (I’m a retired psych RN) , there could have been other things he could have been doing to reconnect with his constituents. Just vanishing was irresponsible. And he shouldn’t expect his constituents to deal with the same things he was dealing with out some form of compensation or help. That’s just arrogance.

The problem is this country would rather spend billions devising ingenious ways of killing people.

Because there's more profit in mass murder than providing healthcare for the working class.
