Ultimately I just hope we don't get screwed out of a Dem Senator.

Patriots on Deck.

As if Democracy Doesn't have Enough to Combat!

Putting someone else in there to get their feet wet now would lessen the chances of a Republican winning the seat in 2028.

If he has an untreated mental health issue, he needs to get help.

But as precarious as the situation is in my state of PA, we have got to force the nutcase out. Governor Shapiro could appoint a far more capable person. Fetterman will end up turning on us like Manchin or Sinema, and he has clear mental illness. They could run any Republican and beat him in the next election. I don’t know of anyone with a good opinion of him.

Unnecessarily ugly.

Calling him a nutcase is disgusting.

He may need to step aside for his own health as well as the well-being of his constituents.

...Fetterman has done some things recently that make me question his mental health, his loyalty and whether or not he is compromised. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but removing him may turn out to be a kindness.

His wife perhaps? His doctors? The man is unwell. If they cared about his well being and the safety of those around him, then they should do something and soon.

He is not my favorite person, however it is very sad to see his decline.

airplane while holding the entire flight up was jaw dropping. He’s lucky he got such a polite pilot. That episode was close to a 5150 hold episode because he could have been dragged off the plane.

I agree that those close to him need to step up more, for everyone’s sake.

I get the mood swings and behavior all caused by the stroke. I also feel for the people in that room, his yelling and slamming his hands on the desk must have been frightening. His size alone is intimidating and the anger, someone is going to get hurt.

articles that she was getting frustrated with his actions — something about his reckless driving and other behaviors.

If I remember, she took over a lot of his responsibilities when he was in treatment for depression. It is a dicey situation for couples and everyone around them.

some of her More Realistic Reactions to what is going on with Sen Fetterman..

I hope she is able to get him the Help he needs. Because the Country Needs him to do that.

Aloha, Nixie 💙

happening.

However, the last article I read about his Staffers Voicing their Concerns it had a quote from his wife saying something like..

It can be done. It has been done for things that never happened.

This IS happening. Let Gov Shapiro work with the PA Democratic Committee to select a replacement immediately then hold a special election. I work.for a manufacturer in Bucks County although I live over the border in NJ.

Between Lamb and Kenyatta you have two solid Democrats. Or do the CA thing and select someone who will pledge not to.run - until a special election.

PA actually has a deep Democratic Party bench.

This is what depression can look like. It was ok when we wanted the seat and everybody was saying how brave he was to talk about it.

But this is why depression tended to be a career killer in politics in less enlightened times.

Hope he doesn't hurt anybody or himself. That car accident talk was fucking scary, as was talk of not taking his medication.

It's a tough situation. It'll always be there, you gotta deal with the bad days along with the good days.

It sounds like he's losing emotional inhibition and becoming irrational. I see the airplane seatbelt story as him being antisocial, detesting authority. His executive brain functions are off-kilter.

Not sure, but yes that car accident was pretty bad and could have been much worse. The plane incident also made him looked entitled and totally out there. He sounds like he’s at risk of hurting himself or someone else.

From what I've known from loved ones I've been around.

I didn't know about the car accident and just looked it up. Not Good!

He should not be driving at high speeds. They were all lucky.

There's bound to be a meltdown on camera at some point.

They need to do what's best for him, not prop up an ill man for their own benefit.

six months after he got elected? Wonder if the stroke did more damage than was originally thought?

degrading somehow.

6 week stay at a clinic for depression was after he was sworn-in.

When he was 58. Walked out of the hospital (miracle patient) six weeks later. Went back to work for a few months then retired.

His personality changed with very *dark spells*. He could see it. Not being in a high press mergers/acq roles helped his brain heal.completely.

Strokes are brain injuries. I don't believe he's fully healed.

A year after retiring my dad started a consultant business which allowed him to pick and choose which distressed companies he would like to help, and that he could a few months to then go fishing every day.

Fetterman needs to rest. He needs to heal so he can be there for his children. He can't think straight.

Not a psychologist or psychiatrist or doctor of any kind . .. . just saw it first hand.

I really FEEL for him. He's locked in a brain injury.

My sister and brother in law were (key word) huge Fetterman supporters. They cannot wait to be rid of him now.
Let Shapiro put Conor Lamb in to finish out Fetterman’s term

Yet none for the orange psychopath... unbelievable.

The pig is mentally deranged. Fetterman should just step down.

I'm not a fan, I don't like many of the comments he has made or his normalizing of the con artist, but he's not up for re-election until 29. He's not my Senator, he's not a major voice of the Democratic Party and all these leaks, discussions and elevation of him to a major topic seems quite strange.

mainstream media treated a Republican like they treat Democratic politicians. In today's media it isn't what a politician does, it is what side of the aisle they are on.

to "media Both Sides" in that Case?

I didn’t trust him and I thought that he was hoodwinking everyone…. Hoodwinking everyone with his
‘Everyman persona’.

Now, we’re finding out that he may have serious mental health issues . I suspect these problems were swept away when he was a candidate.

I hope that he receives appropriate medical care which is needed ASAP. He needs to resign.

* but I knew all along that it would not end well.

I suffered a serious stroke along with other things, about a year and a half ago. There are some misconceptions that have been posted in the past on here, but in essence a stroke can change certain things in you. For example with me, I can no longer handle any sort of stressful situations. And by stress it could be the absolute simplest of things.

I don't think everything happening can be blamed on the stroke with Fetterman, as is the same with me.

That is all

And I for one as a stroke victim, take HUGE offense to people who casually write off what's he's doing as a result of a stroke. It paints all stroke victims with a broad brush. Fetterman has issues that predate and supersede stroke.

Thanks for the thread spanone

Sounds about right knowing teachers as I do. I wonder if he is turning against teachers' unions in his swing to the right. Wouldn't be a wise move, but the article makes it sound like it's more of an emotional issue than an issue related one.

It looks like Fetterman has really changed from how he was before. I wonder if the stroke can explain his behavior?

They always think they can still push through and can do better.

However, sometimes, you have to sit down and take stock of things and ask yourself if its even worth it anymore. Let others make the mistakes and lessons learned, even though you know you wouldn't make those. But you can make new ones without realizing it.

Well…on the one hand, I hope he gets the help he needs.

On the other hand, I care about him about as much as he cares about me.

I think that stroke really affected him.

...for some intervention or more?

people who have been "briefed," and others speaking on the condition of anonymity, about MAGAts in Congress? The bloated orange anus face?

Why are all the stories about Democrats?

For that matter, why insist upon anonymity? Come out with it, and come clean. Anybody can say anything anonymously.

Or the next story might be national news. He's a big dude and if he goes bonkers he can do a lot of damage before he gases out.
