3. Snips

In January, Fetterman reacted to a news headline about the average working family spending nearly $4,000 annually on healthcare with skepticism. He texted his staff, questioning the notion of affordability:

“How should it cost? Free? I don’t understand what affordability it is.”

Later that month, following the release of the Epstein files, Fetterman sent a text calling the files a “nothing burger,” further trivializing their significance by joking about former President Clinton’s involvement: “Worst pics I’ve seen were from Clinton lol.”

The controversy deepened with Fetterman’s response to the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Instead of focusing on the tragedy, he raised concerns about perceived Democratic hypocrisy, comparing it to the condemnation of Kyle Rittenhouse:

6. That article "had me at the title..." Boy, do I agree.

Admittedly, I am angry at how much I tried to defend and support through his pre-first election stroke and mental breakdown., yet he has made me look the fool today.

Has ANYONE heard from his wife? Is she still around?

7. i saw a vid the other day

of a constituent approaching (well, accosting) him in the grocery store and she was w him.

of meanings...

11. Well, at least he's brought his ambitions down to . . .

Vice President.

I'd read earlier that he was musing about running for the cat seat, visualized himself in the Oval Office while complaining bitterly about his job as a senator.

Though I do think a good portion of Fetterman's political reversals are stroke-related, I absolutely agree with the writer here:

I'm out of patience. Fetterman needs to resign and concentrate on intensive post-stroke therapies.

I had no idea, for example, that he was still using a speech translator but an earlier report from a constituent confrontation certainly makes it appear that way. Which says to me, the man has been stretched too thin in terms of time and energy during a period, a window, that should have been dedicated to rehab. It also says (to me) that his stroke was far more severe than he or his team ever admitted.

Then Republicans have wooed and wormed their way into Fetterman using his vulnerabilities to pretend they're his best pals.

He's fallen for that load of BS. Hard.

IMHO, the most striking, early warning sign is his loss of staff, the constant turn-over. Your staff knows who you are bc you're working elbow-to-elbow, day-in-day-out.

Big John will lose his seat in 2028 unless he turns this around.

But for his former supporters . We've had enough.

12. From the article linked in the op:

Despite the turmoil, Fetterman’s ambitions remain undeterred. He reportedly suggested himself as a potential vice-presidential candidate for the 2028 Democratic ticket.

This proposal was met with disbelief by his senior staff, who questioned his fundraising abilities and party support: “Are you out of your mind? You don’t do your job, you can’t raise any money, and your entire party hates you.”

He sounds completely out of touch with reality. I think that stroke did some very serious damage. Unfortunately, the brain damage that is making him unfit to hold office is also making him unable to comprehend that he is unfit to hold office. He sounds unlikely to step down voluntarily, but omg, he really NEEDS to.
