Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is back on the Hill after a lengthy hospital stay to treat clinical depression.

Fetterman’s doctors were reportedly trying to figure out his medication. As soon as that news broke, the former Braddock mayor was discharged on March 31. We’re glad that the senator is doing better with his mental health issues, but it doesn’t mitigate the cognitive ones impacting his ability to do his job.
Mr. Fetterman suffered a severe stroke in April of 2022, which sidelined him for weeks. He almost died. Instead of bowing out, he exhausted the critical period for recovery to hit the campaign trail, a decision that those close to him might have led to permanent brain damage. It’s evident. Mr. Fetterman is the chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, and the opening remarks didn’t go well. Even the Washington Post had to include he stumbled a bit:

A can't imagine a more perfect representation/representative of the State of Pennsylvania.

I think they should just claim he’s lost his voice. Then they could use a text-to-speech application. That way all he’d have to do is sit there and look pretty.

clinical depression? If I had clinical depression, would I still be safe enough to hold a critical job in the government or in any place of business?

I’d feel bad for him if he wasn’t an evil pile of human garbage.

True, it’s disturbing but he’s doing the same thing they all do up there. It’s all political theater and they’re just reading their lines. He’s just worse at it than most, if not all.

Like Biden, the guy is barely sentient. These results should have been expected.

No one stays locked up in a mental hospital unless they want to kill themselves or other people.
