    This guy needs to shut the fuck up. Brain damage should be a reason to be removed from office. Your brain is you and if it’s damaged you are technically not yourself anymore.

      I’d go one step further. The people shouldn’t need a reason to replace their representative. It should be possible at any time for any reason.

      As someone who suffered brain damage from a TBI, I wholeheartedly agree. His cognitive ability has clearly dropped and his whole personality changed. He’s literally not the same person anymore.

      Just like I haven’t been the same person I was since my accident.

        That sucks, hope you’re doing OK. I have had family with similar situations, in one, it turned the meanest woman I knew (aunt in law) nice, though completely incompetent. It was surreal.

          Thank you! It can be rough, especially in the mornings, but it hasn’t destroyed my empathy or creativity and that’s a lot of what I value.

          Definitely seen the personality shifts, though, and I would resign if I were fedderman
