“Democratic U.S. congresswoman from Virginia Jennifer Wexton, 55, announced on Monday she won't seek reelection after receiving a diagnosis of a form of progressive Parkinson's Disease. Rep. Wexton currently represents Virginia's 10th congressional district, which is a competitive area encompassing highly wealthy Washington, D.C. suburb communities like Loudon County and Fairfax County. The Monday announcement follows Wexton revealing in April that she was diagnosed with Parkinson's but was planning to continue serving in Congress. Now that she has an updated diagnosis with a more severe prognosis, she is stepping aside. Progressive supra-nuclear palsy is a form of 'Parkinson's on steroids,' Wexton described in her statement on the devastating diagnosis. …” DailyMail article: https://mol.im/a/12532289 Serious about crackers | ||

I wouldn't wish that diagnosis on anyone. One of the incurable, declining quality of life diseases. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Forgive me, but I have never understood this incredibly overused, trite expression.

putting aside the illness is terrible, this means that next year there will be two Virginia races for U.S. House of Representatives where the DEMs will have lost the incumbent spot. CD10 and CD7 In CD7, Abigail Spanberger has said she won't run for reelection because she will run for Virginia Governor in 2025. Right now Virginia has 11 representatives: 5 REPS and 6 DEMs | |||

Having watched an uncle die from regular Parkinson, I am sorry for her. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I agree. No way in hell fbj should run. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I don't now anything about this politician, but I'll say this. Unrepentant evildoers deserve everything that befall them. Child molesters/rapists are number one on the list. Yes, I do wish the worst on them. And then, there are a few maggots that infest the halls of Congress...  Q | |||
