    America was great when people's teeth rotted out of their heads!

    Florida joined Utah in banning water fluoridation. Texas attorney general is investigating toothpaste companies for adding fluoride to children's toothpaste.

    Stupidity, sadly, doesn't stop at the border. Calgary banned fluoridation. A study of second graders showed in other parts of province, 55% showed some tooth decay. Not good. But in Calgary it was 65%.

    Not sure the Fetterman is a rock bottom, more sad than outrageous. I had liked him, cheered for him.

    That fucking racist making shitload of money, somehow just can't see her soberly investing in safe bonds. Probably blow it all on clothes and cosmetic surgery and cruises then wonder why no one rescues her when she's broke.

    Sad and concerning. Always respected Fetterman, thought of him as a blue collar dude, a real representation of his constituents. It's a shame his stroke has brought on a lapse in his mental acuity. Sad to see has been dealing with delusions and paranoia. Seems there may be a lot of denial there. He should probably step down or not rerun next election and focus on his health.

    MSNBC reports comedians who are Green Card holders or naturalized citizens are afraid to make jokes about Trump, fearing deportation.

    Gotta imagine once he got in, money started rolling in and he chose his path. Like most

    Has Fetterman been making extra money aside from Senate salary?

    Has he publicly said he's hasn't? If not, you can pretty much bet he has been.

    Guilty until proven innocent.

    I don't know him but I think he could be in denial about his condition. Or depression causes inertia, people stay in bad situations because they don't have energy to change things. I'm not going to just assume corruption.

    I'm not suggesting he should be thrown in jail. I'm suggesting he's doing the same thing over 99% of other politicians are doing, since there is no evidence to the contrary.

    If he were rejecting large donations from corporations and PACs then he'd be using that as a pillar of his platform. He'd be far more popular and have far more support.

    Guy turned into the perfect lap dog for AIPAC. The switch he made should be documented and studied for years. His mental acuity has been reported on and it's a scandal.

    That's why campaign finance reform is so critical.

    Wait, campaign donors are not at all the same as personal corruption. I totally agree we need campaign finance reform and also way too many politicians are too dependent on big donors. And that affects their votes. But that isn't money going into their own pockets. Like Trump is doing.
