6. Untreated Bipolar Disorder?
Tue Sep 30, 2025, 12:57 AM
Sep 30

Whiskey Pete is definitely acting like a dry drunk, but he's also acting like someone who is in the midst of a serious manic episode. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to mood disorders and receiving treatment for them, even if they are in positions of power and authority. However, since I have first-hand experience living with a bipolar loved one, I really don't like the idea that our Secretary of Defense (sorry, Congress hasn't changed the name) is not receiving adequate treatment for something similar. Someone--Susie Wiles?--needs to get a handle on this ASAP.
