Feel free to fuck off and die at any time.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 month ago

That's exactly what the Republicans are saying.

[-] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 49 points 1 month ago

His brain damage turned him Republican.

[-] SnotFlickerman 14 points 1 month ago

That's a cop-out, he was doing unhinged shit well before the stroke.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago

He was always an asshole.
Stop shaming stroke victims.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 88 points 1 month ago

This asshole really needs to resign, if this is how he feels about doing his fucking job. If you want to spend time with your family at the beach so badly...by all means, get the fuck out of office and make room for someone who actually gives a shit.

[-] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Stroke personality changes are very real. I feel for him in that regard

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 23 points 1 month ago

Stop shaming stroke victims.
Fetterman was always like this.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

He wasn't, that's the narrative after the fact. That thing fucking changed him fundamentally.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago

Didn't vandalize local business and chase after joggers with a shotgun after the stroke.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm

"In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman's mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in "conspiratorial thinking", "megalomania", rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan."

Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children's programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he's erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.

Also, his family bankrolled him the entire time.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Bankrolled what? Community gardens? Art centers? What are you specifically claiming and why is it relevant to this man's obvious public decline?

just gently suggesting both can be true - he was problematic before the stroke, but the stroke could also be playing a role in what by all accounts seems to be a change in behavior and long-held policy positions which started after the stroke. Even Fetterman himself thinks the stroke is what was responsible for this change: https://newrepublic.com/post/182504/john-fetterman-abandon-progressives-bill-maher

[-] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 68 points 1 month ago

Cry harder you fucking MAGAt in "sheep's clothing"...

“I’m gonna vote no, there’s no drama, we know the votes are going to go.”

Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it you brain-addled MAGAt-surrogate fucking traitorous turd. 🤡 🖕 💩 💩

[-] tonytins@pawb.social 49 points 1 month ago

Welcome to taste of our world, Fetterman.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

You get beach vacations? I don't even get 5 minutes alone to masturbate. Gotta do it on the city bus like everybody else...

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 1 month ago

me and my 7 allowed days of PTO a year are gonna tell you to go find a fat cactus to sit on

[-] Karrion409@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fetterman just needs to go the fuck away for his sake and the sake of others. It's obvious he isn't all there mentally and fucking hates being there so he should make room for someone who is mentally capable and wants to be there.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

Not a whole lot the left and right can agree on these days but I think "Fuck this dude for bitching about missing his beach vacation because he has to do the job he was elected for" is fairly bipartisan.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Though his complaint is that him voting no doesn’t matter because of numbers

It becomes more defeatist than whiny

[-] leftthegroup@lemmings.world 6 points 1 month ago

This reminds me of Cruz being forced to not go to Cancun while his state froze to death.

Take a job that doesn’t fuck your schedule then. Nobody wants you there anyway.

[-] SCmSTR 25 points 1 month ago

FUCK YOU DO YOUR FUCKING JOB

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 10 points 1 month ago

But have you considered how this is hurting him personally? His poor little fascist feelings?

I can't wait until someone gets this Shrek looking mf out of power.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

Aww, does someone have to do his job?

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 month ago

Just read the section on his mayorship of Braddock. This bud has been problematic for a long time. I don't think he's gone crazy lately, instead people got sold a counterfeit product during his federal election that they didn't look much into.

[-] lama@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah some more news did a good segment on him, explaining how he was always pretty crappy: https://youtu.be/28M_zkoAGQM

i stitched these two articles together with gimp because there was another 2 articles between them

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Man. I rather take an empty seat than this fuck. Catch RFK's brain worms to finish the job.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

OH NOOOOOOOOO

[-] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't think I hate a single Republican fascist more than I hate this worthless fuck.

It would have been better for him and everyone else if that tumor had killed him instead of turning him into a lazy melancholic genocide fetishist.

[-] jhoff90@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

A lobster would be a better representative than Fetterman and his MAGA brain damage at this point.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 month ago

Poor little brain-damaged baby!

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

If brain damage wasn't bad enough... It turns you into a miserable republican fuck.

[-] jhymesba@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

I won't wish death on the guy, but I'll put it this way. Fetterman, if you can't miss your precious beach vacation, you can always resign...

[-] Gowron_Howard@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Eat shit Fetterman! Feel free to retire anytime.

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month ago

Someone call the "whaaambulance" for Festerman.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

"thousands"? Bro, you're underselling it.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

aww, you poor flagpole.

quit.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

If lifes and even Democracy itself is at stake, this should not be an issue.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Sinema’s boyfriend and he calls Manchin “daddy.”

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm waiting for Fetterman to be the 50th vote on the BBB

[-] NotForYourStereo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Hope he dies soon.

Love a dead fascist.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
