Why is Senator Chris Murphy Obsessed with Loneliness???

Fuck you, OP. It's a real issue and it's being examined heavily in the UK, Ireland, and throughout the UK. Maybe you need to raise your periscope a little more.

the lack of viable third spaces in american society is an important issue

Throughout the EU*

OP, what exactly makes you think that Sen. Murphy is lonely?

Any time a person says something like this I just assume they have Aspergers.

An Aspergian would be compassionate on an issue like this whereas a neurotypical would view it as a moral failing.

No way he would be "lonely" very long OP.

He himself does not appear to have it (body language is too stable) but maybe a loved one had it.

Anyway I agree with the above comment about the UK being compassionate about this, after all Eleanor Rigby was written fifty years ago.

Additionally, “hot”? My God the standards here are getting lower by the day.

Interesting to see this topic - over the weekend I visited two longtime friends, an eldergay couple in their mid-80s, who have been together nearly 60 years. They both have health issues and during COVID became pretty much housebound. I hadn't been to see them since last summer and as we were talking, one of them kept pausing in mid-sentence. He apologized, saying they now speak only infrequently with other people, and it takes him longer to process his thoughts into words.

This made me realize just how easily elders can become isolated and lonely, even here in NYC, where there are so many orgs and services for the aging and even specifically for elder gays. When a significant number of your friends have died off, loneliness can slowly envelop your life. It's a difficult cycle to break and we really need to look at those around us who may be in need of more human contact.

Thought you, me and Chris were a threesome.

“ Throughout the EU*”

Yes, we are more compassionate. Lonely? We will help you kill yourself. But with dignity and what not.

Please keep believing that r11. We don't want you here of you do.

“ We don't want you here of you do.”

Learn English 🤡

Chris met his wife in 1996 and made her wait until 2007 for a wedding.

Talk abt a man not that into you, talk abt a woman taking what she can get.

Red Flags 🚩

That’s is not hot.

Last I knew he wasn’t wearing his wedding band anymore. No word on the status of his marriage (I live in CT).

R16

Nope no wedding band. He probably wishes he didn’t put a “ring,” on it. Probably wishing he was a CORY BOOKER.

Talk about a couple who haven’t had sex in years…he didn’t celebrate their 15 yr anniversary, he didn’t acknowledge her 50th or valentines.

Oh lord he ain’t into you, gurl.

Pretty sure their is a hot gal on the side.

For years DL has been calling his wife fat and comparing her to Deborra Lee Furness.

If only he was a Republican…….

Never got the appeal of this guy.

R19

Well Chris does refer to her as his “best bud.”

No wife wants to be a buddie.

Other things factor into loneliness. A lot of Americans today don’t live in the town they grew up in. They have to move to where the jobs are. Now people are away from their birth families, and that also increases loneliness.

Chris is on the Senate floor talking about loneliness.

Stay away from Miss Lindz, Chris. Nothing good will happen.

He's right especially as you get older. Good for him - he is a rock star Senator

Is Chris Murphy going through a mid-life crisis?

He is gonna be 50 in a few weeks, wonder if he regrets some of those personal life choices.

He's right about loneliness. But this is an issue for local governments and not the federal government, IMHO. I'm not sure the federal govern can do anything about it other than giving out money to local governments. And I'm not sure government is the answer, anyway.

Does Chris Murphy need a new social group?

Why all of a sudden is he obsessed with loneliness?

Something might be brewing in that marriage of his that probably should have never happened.

Why are you obsessed with this milquetoast looking man?

Oh, that’s right, father didn’t love you.

I can’t tell if he has FMD energy or not. Not sure if he would get a “Fuck Me, Daddy” from me…

R31 The cute, preppy, nerdy types are always a surprise in bed!!!

Miss Lindz would know the dick sizes of all male Senators. But she won’t tell the media.

Does Miss Lindz know about Irish dick?

Something must be going on in his private life for this new obsession. He never talked about this last year. Chris Murphy is turning 50 in a few weeks, do I spy a midlife crisis?

Clubs disappearing, and what others said up thread- the decline of “third spaces” and people moving away from family and long time connections for jobs. Look at malls dying as an example of a third space. Lesbian bars vanishing, mostly due to tranny screeching. People are so overworked and struggling to keep heads above water as living costs spiral. Unchecked immigration leads to the fabric of society fraying and an overall mistrust. Social media and smartphones have also been a scourge- it’s like the soul of the world has been sucked out. Phone zombies, distracted people, shallowness, a lack of initiative to socialise because the dopamine rectangle is much easier. Divisive media. What a mess. I think to summarise, corporate profiteering and subsequent death of public spaces, the internet and phones as well as economic inequality have lead to a perfect storm of lonely, atomised people across all generations.

“ Pretty sure their is a hot gal on the side.…”

This is beyond an “Oh, dear.” This is a “Jesus Christ!”

R14 These are a lot of assumptions on your part. Some people are too content in their life to feel the need to sign any paper to prove it.

R23 Not everyone is happy in their birth family and automatically lonely when they move away.

R38

The proof is in the pudding.

This is a very transactional relationship.

Chris Murphy opened a few buttons on his shirt, drinking at the 50th birthday party the CT donors threw for him.

Never hangs out with his “wife” at these things, must be why he looks happy.

Just saying Chris probably threw it down in college, with the ladies too. Still questionable why he settled down with a college friend who is soo unattractive because the senator can get it.

He's been wearing out his Bobby Vinton 45s

Don’t give up until you drink from a silver cup, and ride that highway in the sky. You never know until you try.

Chris is tweeting that he had dinner with his wife and commenting about the salad dressing.

That confirms this is a basic marriage arrangement at this point.

Sooo is this why Chris Murphy is obsessed with loneliness???

Couple of things OP

Loneliness is a major issue for the elderly especially as people’s families have become smaller and smaller than they were in the past. The shrinking of families has also increased homelessness which we all know is now an epidemic. The increase of autism spectrum disorders, which will skyrocket in the coming years due to so many births now being had by parents in their late thirties, forties and fifties, will exacerbate the situation.

Secondly, Chris Murphy is not an attractive man at all. You are obviously sexually fixated on this human Manila folder because he reminds you of your father, who did not love you or accept your sexuality, which is why you are projecting homosexual fantasies of this random middle management looking bureaucrat. Your father will never love you and will never want to have sex with you. Now please leave Senator Murphy alone.

[quote] He's right about loneliness. But this is an issue for local governments and not the federal government, IMHO. I'm not sure the federal govern can do anything about it other than giving out money to local governments. And I'm not sure government is the answer, anyway.

Disagree. The numbskull Republicans don't believe in gun control. People with more meaningful human connections are less likely to drive across the state to mass-murder strangers in a church or a Walmart. I think the federal government could be effective in this area with the right public-private partnerships.

"Lesbian bars vanishing, mostly due to tranny screeching. "

Most lesbian bars I've known that "vanished" did so because the lesbians bitched about the prices of the drinks (no matter how cheap) and refused to tip the help.

This tweet—Chris can’t say the term date night. His excuse to go to dinner with his spouse is that the kids away.

Would be embarrassed to be his spouse. He is clearly not into you. Plus he took her to a pub, case closed.

YOUR FATHER WILL NOT HAVE SEX WITH YOU.

Daddy Chris is probably lonely because of that sham marriage.

He needs some sex for his 50th birthday!!

R45

Oh Honey, thinking you are the one with Daddy Issues!!!

Stop projecting those fantasies because you are jealous.

This is what Chris Murphy did on his 50th birthday.

Does Chris Murphy’s “wife” know he does not like her?

Hillary Clinton stealing Chris Murphy’s new obsession.

Senator Murphy and Secretary Clinton are absolutely right to bring attention to this issue.

Lonely people = Quanon. Lonely people = believing wild conspiracy theories. Lonely people = never reality test these wackjob ideas they're thinking about.

Lonely people bought into Fuckface von Clownstick. Lonely people bought into Farage and Brexit and that Fascist cunt in France. The Proud Boys are lonely. The insurrectionists were lonely.

The loneliness and isolation are being used as extremist fucktards on the right weaponize how lonely and desperate these people are and take advantage of them. They're also not too bright, at least they certainly seem stupid whenever they're interviewed or speak publicly about their obsession du jour.

And trannies didn't get rid of lesbian bars, lesbians did. You have to actually go out to these bars and regularly spend money in them or they go away. It's not a conspiracy against lesbians. The problem is that lesbians are cheap and aren't active enough socially to sustain a vibrant bar/club scene. That's fine, if they're not into going out and partying with their friends a lot then they're not into that or they can't afford it. Don't blame the Trans, they don't have a fucking thing to do with your lezzie bar failures.

What is going on with Senator Chris Murphy?

It just sounds like the typical "nothing's as good as it used to be" type moans. Usually perpetuated by people who hate self-checkouts and paying by card.

I'm not saying every technological advance is positive, but these luddites act like any progress is bad.

Murphy needs a stronger hand, in the bedroom. So does his wife. It's why they're not connected on that level.

R58

Murphy and his wife have never been connected, that is why he is probably so lonely.

This is not a marriage based on love, it’s transactional convenience.

Chris has a case of the COVIDS.

[quote] Usually perpetuated by people who hate self-checkouts and paying by card.

I think this poster is probably an asshole.

What is on Chris’ chin?

He looks like a sexy mixture of sick and hot while having Covid.

I vant to be alone.

Oh goodness, after a year Chris Murphy put his wedding ring back on.

What changed, was it the political spouse or because its an election year for Chris?

He needs to be a relatable family man, not a husband with one foot out the door?

Why is Chris hiding his hand w/ wedding ring?

Is he embarrassed that he married that ugly lady?

Or pissed that he had to put that ring back on?

He's very lonely, because his double digit dong needs two hands to stroke and caress it, and most of his partners tire out too easily.
