The thought that I could one day have a stroke and lose my mental faculties like this is scary ngl. Fetterman still being in a position of power is a failure of the system at this point. I'd feel bad for the guy if he wasn't a rabid genocide supporter.
He was racist and aggressive long before this.
The same man who held a random Black man at gunpoint also being a zionist and having outbursts like this isn't a huge jump, white people just didn't care before because uhhh he wears shorts all the time isn't that funny
His behavior has gotten worse since his stroke but he's been like this
Strokes CAN cause personality changes but they can also just make you lose your filter. It becomes too taxing to keep up the mask.
I would argue your filter is a huge part of your personality. Many people have harmful impulses, internalized bigotry and think mean thoughts sometimes. Becoming a better person is not about cleansing your thoughts of the impure, it's much more about keeping your bad impulses in check. Sharing things you would like to keep for yourself, watching a movie with your partner you couldn't care less about, being kind to someone who makes you feel intense jealousy, these kinds of things. I don't think it's fair to say that losing your filter because of a stroke "reveals who you really are".
I know Fetterman had terrible views before the stroke already. It's more so that I think it's scary how you can have a stroke and suddenly become so much worse to the people around you because you lose control over yourself.
What's crazy is they will just vote him in again
I just don't understand this country
Just want to point out that he was running against dr oz in the general
"Rubbing against Dr Oz" well as long as everyone contented I guess...
everyone contented
Didn't know Fetterman and Oz were on OF lol
I'm not fixing mine and you're a coward for fixing yours.
AUTO CORRECT HAS SPOKEN, WHO ARE WE MERE MORTALS TO CHALLENGE ITS WILL?
VoTE bLuE nO mATtEr wHo!!1!11!!11!!
Bill Maher [...] suggested that Fetterman should run for president
Maher's job is to be wrong about everything
A sociopolitical Jim Cramer.
Inverse Cramer etf got shut down cause it sucked ;_;
LJIM, which was the opposite of the inverse and just followed his stock advice, also got shut down because of poor returns.
Bogleheads vindicated at every front 😎
I'd make a joke about buying $NANC instead, but even it is down YTD. Smh no way to make money in this market

Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do?”
Can we be absolutely certain he isn't just some promotional gambit for the new Shrek movie at this point?
"Genocide it like an onion, it has many layers."
Fuck it. If it is then I'll watch the silly ogre dad movie
Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred.
Come on John, let the self-hate flow through you.
Fetterman reportedly got on a table and started screaming "I'm being crucified like a dog in the street!"
oh that's easy John, it's because you are a bloodthirsty zionist who has abandoned his humanity
He's pure Id in the same way a rabid animal is.
edit: oof, crispy text.
Edit2: fixed the crispy text.
Do Pennsylvania or DC have any laws about involuntary commitment? Because uh, it really seems like that is necessary here.
His wife has already talked about how she’s scared he’s gonna hurt her, dude bought a gun a few months ago and gives off some of the most annihilaty family-annihilator vibes I’ve ever fucking seen.
She needs to go to a mandatory reporter and say “I’m scared for the lives of me and my children” and get his ass thrown in an institution.
Emotionally unstable? Owns guns? Has access to the capital building?
Family annihilator? 
Senate annihilator? 
John Fetterman comes into the Capitol building with machine gun
"WHERE IS TRUMP?! WHERE IS TRUMP?!!!" he yells
"Here! Here!" panicked congressmen points out to prsident
"DONALD!!! RUN, I WILL SHOOT" yells Fetterman while spraying everyone except Trump with lead
Not the leftist hero I expected, but I'll take it

Downfall (2004) fuhrer moment
Obituary writers living for moments like this 
I'm not sparing even a half second of sympathy for this proudly, pro-genocide ghoul
Our first hot couch guy senator. Another glass ceiling shattered.
Has he considered simpping for Zionazis even more?
I think we all know what the humane option is here.
Asked by a reporter in a Senate corridor what he would say to people who are concerned about him, Fetterman said: “They’re not. They’re actually not concerned. It’s a hit piece. There’s no news.”
And one more thing. I'm not mad. Please do not let them say that I'm mad.

I'M NOT MAD! 
no suffering is too much for Mr. "Kill Them All"
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy
real shame this fucker survived his stroke or whatever it was his brain did
He already crashed out, in his car, on the fucking freeway. Dude is unwell
Conservatives — who had long made Fetterman a target for his progressive politics — have sprung to Fetterman’s defense.
This is a good sign.
