Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has finally returned to Capitol Hill, having spent most of his tenure as a U.S. senator at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center being treated for clinical depression.(snip)
His May 2022 stroke left him incapacitated for weeks, and he was lucky to survive. Despite this, he chose to continue campaigning, which could have potentially led to permanent brain damage, according to those close to him. Despite his prolonged period away from the Senate, it doesn’t appear that he’s experienced any improvement in his recovery from his stroke, and that was abundantly clear from watching him chair the Senate Subcommittee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.

Video from the hearing is difficult to watch. We all know much of these hearings are scripted, but Fetterman sounds like he’s reading from his prepared remarks for the first time and doesn’t seem to understand what he’s saying. I’d feel bad for him if it wasn’t his fault he was in this position in the first place.
At least he wasn’t wearing shorts and a hoodie. But, still, it’s clear that the man is not fit to serve a full six-year term, and he’s now merely serving as a puppet senator. However, he can’t resign now because even though Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) would appoint a replacement, a special election would be held in the next statewide election next year—a risky proposition in a year that is likely going to be a good one for Republicans. So,we can expect Democrats to assist Fetterman as he maintains the illusion of being a senator as long as possible—at least until after the 2024 elections are over. Meanwhile, Fetterman’s defenders will boast about how brave Fetterman is, and try to shame those who question his fitness for office.

How did this guy get elected?
Looked okay to me. No different than when it ran. Caveat emptor.
“How did this guy get elected?”
Because the country is swirling in the toilet bowl everywhere you look. The last thing that is “fair” in the USA is elections.
Same way Hobbs got elected.
Via stupid voters or corrupt vote-counters or a combination of both.
Silly rabbit. No one gets “elected” anymore.
The perfect symbol of what this country has become.
Because the Republicans put up crap candidates.
The same thing is going to happen in ‘24.
Pretty simple.
80% of the population are idiots.
That cannot be helped.
Our original American system
tried to compensate for that.
They knew most people they dealt
with were idiots.
Little by little idiots changed the system.
Now the idiots are running the asylum.
Democracy is rule by idiots.
Republic is rule by compromise
from people that hate each other.
I prefer Republic.
He will probably be our next president the way things are going.
Because the Republicans put up crap candidates.“
BS. The rats cheating is diverse and ubiquitous. Some were very good candidates. Lake had a 8-10 point lead but that thieving bitch Hobbs stole it anyways. I was in AZ in November the people wanted Lake.
People prefer real Americans to Ottoman Turks.
That crap candidates argument is a convenient cover. Fetterman was a crap candidate, more crappy than the Republican. The Republicans don’t have people who are willing to bend or change the rules just to get a candidate elected. I have had ballots from my kids who don’t live in my house which I could easily have filled out and deposited but that would be dishonest so I won’t do it. Conservatives play fair even when they know they are being cheated.
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
We remember who we serve. We want good leaders for our Country (or at least not evil and/or utterly incompetent leaders), but God and His commands come first.
If its time for the American empire to expire (because they have forgotten and left God), so be it. But we serve Him.
The GOP ran a carpetbagger Hollyweirdo who disliked conservatives against him. That’s how.
Yeah, that was it. Dolt.
He fits right in with the rest of them.
