What is the difference between John Fetterman having a speaking disability and Greg Abbott having a walking disability? Neither should disqualify them from holding office. Both men have disabilities that don’t stop them from thinking clearly. Aphasia, which Fetterman suffers from, doesn't affect intelligence. Stroke survivors remain mentally alert,... show more

You’re asking the difference between a physical impairment and a mental impairment. A senators job is to be an effective communicator and come up with solutions that solve problems for Americans. Not being able to walk does not limit that ability, not being able to read or speak does.

Ed Krassenstein3 years ago

There is no evidence whatsoever that he can't come up with solutions to solve problems. It's the transfer of ideas into spoken words that he has trouble with. If voters don't like it they can vote him out next term. Not being able to walk limits your ability to walk. Not being able to speak clearly limits your ability to speak clearly. That's all.

Mental and physical capabilities can’t be compared equally. They are different. It should be said that any incapability that effects your ability to do your job should be taken to task and assessed on if it impacts your effectiveness to do your job!

Ed Krassenstein3 years ago

That should be accessed by the electorate. That's what elections are for.

Bruh you’re must be making a killing posting ridiculous bullshit like this

Hmmm it’s almost like a severe brain injury effects your ability to govern more than being paralyzed 😂

Meanwhile, @krassenstein was just railing about the age of Feinstein and McConnell 🫣

Ed Krassenstein3 years ago

I don't think Feinstein is thinking correctly. Several factors would point in that direction. I think the jury is out on Mitch. I think it's obvious that someone who has dementia or who can't think correctly should not be serving in government. I don't think that's the case with Fetterman.

Amiri King3 years ago

There’s a huge difference between lacking the ability to walk and lacking the ability to fundamentally articulate oneself to their constituents. Fetterman has a bigger shoe size than IQ.

I don't think Fetterman thinks clearly. Plus being a good senator requires debate. If you can't articulate your position then you aren't going to be very effective at your job. Fetterman, McConnel, Biden, and Feinstein should all retire.

Ed Krassenstein3 years ago

What makes you think he doesn't think clearly? I have not seen any evidence of that.

It’s official. Cabinet has confirmed that they are knowingly delaying and denying the legal rights of persons with disabilities in Kenya. And if you listened LIVE, you heard the uproar that came from all senators. During the senate Assessment & Planning Retreat, I asked the CS for Health how disability rights are being applied in universal health coverage, how the Ministry is aligning operations with the Disability Act, why assistive devices are still unavailable under SHA, and when the Senate should expect draft regulations to operationalise this Act. The response? That the Cabinet are still thinking about it - that they want to bring the law back and persuade Parliamentarians that implementing the disability rights that we envisioned is ‘controversial’ amongst the Cabinet. No timelines. No plans. No apologies. That response confirms what people with disabilities have felt all along: that disability rights amongst our leaders are still treated as Charity, as a suggestion, as a ‘we’ll think about it’. I’m stunned. #VIP

Bill Maher just told John Fetterman he is the perfect example of the radical left’s extreme intolerance. Even though Fetterman votes with Democrats 93% of the time, the far left still treats him with suspicion and hostility. MAHER: “It’s hysterical to me that the Democratic Party, which you vote with 93% of the time... even when you're 93% with them, their attitude is so bad. They have such a bad attitude of you either have the one true opinion, which we the geniuses of the far left know, or you’re just somebody at least suspect.” FETTERMAN: “When I vote 93% like a Dem line and I'm more popular with Republicans, I can't explain it. I truly don't. And I find myself in a strange place.” Fetterman should join the Republican Party.

🚨 JUST NOW: Sen. John Fetterman rips his own party for SURRENDERING to the Democratic Socialists of America after they vowed to abolish prisons, the Senate, the presidency and defund the Pentagon 🤯 FETTERMAN: "This isn’t a big tent—it’s anarchy.

Since the start of the war, nearly 42,000 people in Gaza have sustained life-changing injuries *according to WHO estimates*. One in four of these injuries is in children, with Gaza being home to the largest cohort of child amputees in modern history. On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we share the story of Ala' Taleb, a woman with a hearing disability from Gaza—a reminder that inclusion matters and matters even more when the worst unfolds. UN Human Rights Palestine works to ensure the rights of persons with disabilities are met and prioritised. #IDPD2025 #Inclusion

This autistic young man was bullied for not having the right shoes on, they took them and destroyed his shoes. A few days later, his classmates surprised him with new shoes to replace the ones that others destroyed and to help him have a little confidence behind his smile. Back when I was in school, no matter what, we always drew the line, special needs and kids with disabilities were always off limits. You just don’t do that, I feel if you harm or bully anyone in school with a disability or special needs, you should be expelled, what do you think the punishment should be?

NEW: Bill Nye “The Science Guy” tells MSNBC viewers to vote Republicans out of office to save the planet. This is straight-up embarrassing to watch. “We can’t do [oil] anymore. The sooner we stop doing it, the better.” “We’re having this very strong heat dome, it’s very hot weather which is going to affect agriculture, which will affect everybody’s prices—the price of your food in the grocery store and what you don’t want.” “And so just don’t vote for them anymore. And when you get a chance, let’s, get them out of office.”

"Why are young women using walking sticks?" One of the newer trends among Leftists is to use walking sticks or wheelchairs. I've seen this going on for a long time, but didn't think much of it until this article came out several days ago and Leftists had meltdowns over it. The people doing it tend to be fully capable of walking and functioning perfectly fine when they're in the mood to do it. They almost always identify as some form of LGBT, tend to be female, are often overweight, usually don't work, and are often self diagnosed with things like ADHD, chronic pain, fatigue, migraines..., which they claim cause their disabilities. There are countless people with actual disabilities who are often in severe pain, truly have issues with walking, are missing limbs, mostly paralyzed, have difficulty speaking, are deaf or blind, have different diseases that they fight against every day..., yet they try their best to function like most people, work, get degrees, have families, socialize.... People with true disabilities tend to treat them like abilities. They have something that may be seen as a a disability, but instead treat it as a slight disadvantage that pushes them try doing just as good, if not better than everyone else. They don't make it their whole identity. These "disabled" Leftists on the other hand make it their whole identity. Their bios and posts are full of them trying to push how "disabled" they are. The real disability of theirs is laziness and feeling the need to victimize themselves in order to get attention that they don't get otherwise and probably didn't get enough of when they were younger. There is now "disability pride month" to push how much of a victim their self diagnosis made them because they need a month to remind you of it every day instead of every other day. I'm all for having a month, week, or day to celebrate truly disabled people who overcome their disabilities every day, but most of what I've seen is these scumbags taking over such things. These same people would have a meltdown over "cultural appropriation," yet here they are pretending to be disabled. It's a disgrace.

RFK: "LOCK YOUR PARENTS UP AND MAKE THEM LISTEN TO JOE ROGAN" "The one cohort that I'm doing really poorly with is Baby Boomers. I ought to be doing really great with them because they're the people who remember the Kennedy era. But they have a disability; they only get their news from ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times. And if I were living in that information ecosystem, I'd have a low opinion of myself as well. What we're finding is that young people are getting their information from long form interviews from podcasts from other alternative interventions. So they're doing critical thinking. If you're young and you have parents, you need to lock them up somewhere and make them listen to a Joe Rogan podcast." Source: Chief Nerd

“I will stop voting third party and pick one of the [major] parties when the distinction between them is clear on what matters most: And for me, that’s human rights…Both of them have horrendous human rights records. Both of them are neoliberal economic policy supported…Both of them are neoconservative in their foreign policy. Imperialist. Aggressive. And in that way, both of them embrace militarism…Both of them are Zionist parties. Both of them have embraced a fundamentally racist and violent ideology that is colonizing Palestine and prosecuting people.” -Craig Mokhiber

Lydia Green is weaponizing her Jewish background and Palestinian suffering for a seat in the NY State Assembly. 🇺🇸 She even admits that she has no direct power to stop Israel's actions in any wars, but that doesn't stop her from using Palestine as her focal point, since that is clearly what she thinks will get votes. Having "chutzpah" does not mean selling out, Lydia.

One of the most marginalized communities in Gaza right now are people with disabilities. Unfortunately their conditions remain terrible with no sufficient support. Ruba is 16 years old and has a mental disability and her sister Mariam is 8 years old and suffers from brain atrophy. Mariam sits in a barrel all day so that she doesn’t run away. And Ruba as you can see bites on to her blanket. Their tent leaks and allows the wind in keeping the girls and their family cold. And they don’t have many of their basic needs. Our team did an assessment and we hope to go back and provide some relief for Ruba, Mariam and their family. Support the South campaign to help this case and similar ones:

Wafaa serves as an example for the injured kids in #Gaza. In addition to having disabilities that will severely affect their present and future, many of them have also lost their relatives or carers. For a split second, you might believe that death would be more merciful to them than a life of pain. Nevertheless, we hold the belief that everything around us possesses wisdom, even though we are unaware of it; only Allah Almighty is aware of it.

They Notice What We Don’t A child moves toward the edge of a pool. Someone suddenly falls. A baby is in a place where danger could come in seconds. And before anyone has time to react, the dog moves. No one taught them to calculate the distance. No one told them when to run, when to pull, or when to stand between a person and danger. They simply notice. That may be what makes a dog’s loyalty so remarkable. They don’t protect us because they expect something in return. They don’t wait to be praised. Their reaction comes from attachment — from knowing that the people around them are part of their world. What looks like a simple instinct can become the difference between a close call and a tragedy. And perhaps that is why these moments stay with us. We often think humans are the ones protecting animals. But every now and then, a dog reminds us that the protection goes both ways. ❤️🐾

ICE agents are enforcing our laws and making the country safer, and the left is fighting them for it. Don’t forget this part: illegal aliens are counted in the census and affect apportionment. Removing them from Minnesota hurts Democrats politically by reducing House seats and electoral votes. That’s likely one of the reasons they’re so desperate to stop enforcement. They seem perfectly fine with violent criminals roaming their communities as long as it benefits them politically.
