Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

That's exactly what the Republicans are saying.
His brain damage turned him Republican.
That's a cop-out, he was doing unhinged shit well before the stroke.
This asshole really needs to resign, if this is how he feels about doing his fucking job. If you want to spend time with your family at the beach so badly...by all means, get the fuck out of office and make room for someone who actually gives a shit.
Stroke personality changes are very real. I feel for him in that regard
Stop shaming stroke victims.
Fetterman was always like this.
He wasn't, that's the narrative after the fact. That thing fucking changed him fundamentally.
Didn't vandalize local business and chase after joggers with a shotgun after the stroke.
Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm
"In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman's mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in "conspiratorial thinking", "megalomania", rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan."
Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children's programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he's erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.
just gently suggesting both can be true - he was problematic before the stroke, but the stroke could also be playing a role in what by all accounts seems to be a change in behavior and long-held policy positions which started after the stroke. Even Fetterman himself thinks the stroke is what was responsible for this change: https://newrepublic.com/post/182504/john-fetterman-abandon-progressives-bill-maher
Cry harder you fucking MAGAt in "sheep's clothing"...
“I’m gonna vote no, there’s no drama, we know the votes are going to go.”
Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it you brain-addled MAGAt-surrogate fucking traitorous turd. 🤡 🖕 💩 💩
Welcome to taste of our world, Fetterman.
You get beach vacations? I don't even get 5 minutes alone to masturbate. Gotta do it on the city bus like everybody else...
Look at this motherfucker bitching but can afford bus fare.
I jerk off in the library where it’s free.
I'm not allowed in libraries, look at this asshole bitching while he can jack off indoors. Try jacking off in the woods, get back to me.
I call that a posh wank, Rockefeller.
You have woods? Every inch of my state is private property. I have to sneak into a cornfield to rub one out.
You have corn fields to sneak off to? Every inch of my state is solid concrete. I have to find an available dumpster.
me and my 7 allowed days of PTO a year are gonna tell you to go find a fat cactus to sit on
Fetterman just needs to go the fuck away for his sake and the sake of others. It's obvious he isn't all there mentally and fucking hates being there so he should make room for someone who is mentally capable and wants to be there.
Stuck with this mofo for another four years.
Not sure Dr. Oz would have been any better, though...
That's the level of copium I've been mainlining since his heel turn. Like I didn't want McCormick in the primary, and I definitely didn't want fucking Oz, but this is pretty bad.
Seems Dr. Oz is doing plenty more damage in his current role
Take a job that doesn’t fuck your schedule then. Nobody wants you there anyway.
Aww, does someone have to do his job?
Does two strokes cancel out? Because I think he should get another stroke to see if he suddenly becomes a progressive lol
I think that would just make him more republican.
Not a whole lot the left and right can agree on these days but I think "Fuck this dude for bitching about missing his beach vacation because he has to do the job he was elected for" is fairly bipartisan.
Though his complaint is that him voting no doesn’t matter because of numbers
It becomes more defeatist than whiny
Just read the section on his mayorship of Braddock. This bud has been problematic for a long time. I don't think he's gone crazy lately, instead people got sold a counterfeit product during his federal election that they didn't look much into.
Yeah some more news did a good segment on him, explaining how he was always pretty crappy: https://youtu.be/28M_zkoAGQM
Man. I rather take an empty seat than this fuck. Catch RFK's brain worms to finish the job.
A lobster would be a better representative than Fetterman and his MAGA brain damage at this point.
If brain damage wasn't bad enough... It turns you into a miserable republican fuck.
FUCK YOU DO YOUR FUCKING JOB
But have you considered how this is hurting him personally? His poor little fascist feelings?
Eat shit Fetterman! Feel free to retire anytime.
I won't wish death on the guy, but I'll put it this way. Fetterman, if you can't miss your precious beach vacation, you can always resign...
Poor little brain-damaged baby!
Strokeout again and die this time
I don't think I hate a single Republican fascist more than I hate this worthless fuck.
It would have been better for him and everyone else if that tumor had killed him instead of turning him into a lazy melancholic genocide fetishist.
Someone call the "whaaambulance" for Festerman.
"thousands"? Bro, you're underselling it.
If lifes and even Democracy itself is at stake, this should not be an issue.
