After suffering a severe stroke in May, Pennsylvania senatorial candidate John Fetterman now relies on speech-to-text software to understand the spoken word. The digital interface has become a part of him. In a recent NBC interview, Fetterman can be seen gazing at his desktop screen, struggling to comprehend the questions asked. The Democratic nominee will even be allowed to use this software in the Oct-25 debate with his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz.
In a healthy society, Fetterman’s own party would urge him to resign for the common good. This situation is beyond the polarized arguments over immigration, crime, or nuclear war. Cognitive fitness is crucial for political leaders. Their job is to engage the public, project competency abroad, and go toe-to-toe with rivals. But we do not live in a healthy society.
Rather than acknowledge the danger of electing a U.S. senator who, tragically, has been forced to merge with a machine, Fetterman’s supporters are framing this as an “equity” issue. The normal desire to have leaders of sound mind and body is being denounced as “ableism” — i.e., the expectation that people are able to do their jobs. In a culture that rewards virtue-signaling, even compromised cognition is exalted as a virtue.
Our new normal is not inclusive of MAGA or the unvaccinated, but it undoubtedly includes cyborgs. And now, riding a wave of “diversity and inclusion,” Fetterman is America’s first official cyborg candidate.
“For transhumanists,” Tucker Carlson noted last week, “this is Neil Armstrong on the moon. Here you have one of the most famous politicians in the country merging with a computer.” Anyone familiar with the serious conversations around human augmentation knows Carlson is correct. It’s becoming the central issue of our time, and we must grapple with the benefits and dangers in a serious manner.

Excellent piece from The Federalist.
Of course he’s not fit, but he’ll probably win. The feral barbarian voters are voting for a “D,” not Fetterman.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Is Cyborg John Fetterman Really Fit For The Senate?
I’ll answer that with this question, Is Dementia Patient Joey Biden Fit for the Whitehouse????????????
Or in other words, per DEMOCRAT standards, he is a Mensa Candidate.
No, no…a thousand times NO!
Just the fact of his candidacy is an insult to the intelligence of American voters.
WTF is the Democrat party thinking!!!???
I wish someone would ask him about that huge lypoma on his neck that he tries to cover up. Paging Dr. Lee.
His wife is on audio admitting he is disabled and basically demands everyone accommodate him and his disability.

What a stupid question
NOPE.
Then again, isn’t that the “gold standard” for the Communist Party?
That thing on his neck is not a “thing”. Nowadays men can get pregnant. He’s about 6 months along I’d say. Silly.
Indeed - they could put up a blind, deaf and mute indiviual and still vote for them.
No Micky Mouse.🤨
Oz should ask him complex questions during the debate, to show him struggling
Are they going to type the answers for him too?
Are they going to give him the questions in advance so they are not typing them to him ‘live’ on the air?
Fetterman is the only senatorial candidate who dresses like he is going out to knock over a 7-11 rather than give an unintelligible campaign speech
Sad that the Founders didn’t provide a mechanism for residents of other states to “veto” or negate the election of someone in another state, someone they deem worthless and/or evil...i.e. Fetterman.
