My only question is why isn’t this statement being accompanied by a resignation letter?
Sen. Fetterman, to whatever extent he has any mental culpability in his current condition, his wife and his people clearly lied about his physical state. And this latest hospitalization suggests that he left out a past history of mental problems. He’s not physically able to do his job. Why does he still have it?
This isn’t a partisan issue. Republicans benefit from a physically and mentally unstable Democrat holding down the job in Pennsylvania more than if Gov. Shapiro replaced him with Connor Lamb. At best, Fetterman is capable of little more than casting party line votes, if even that, he can’t take part in debates or move the needle.
This wasn’t a case of a sitting senator coming down with unforeseen medical problems, but a sick man and his people lying their way through an election only to have the lies hit the end of the road.
How much longer is this going to go on?
Sen. John Fetterman could remain hospitalized for more than a month as the Pennsylvania Democrat undergoes treatment for depression, a senior aide said, following a series of health setbacks.
On Wednesday, Mr. Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the second hospitalization for the freshman senator in recent weeks. His office said that Mr. Fetterman has experienced depression off and on throughout his life and that the senator voluntarily entered the hospital after consulting with the attending physician for Congress, Dr. Brian P. Monahan.
A senior aide to Mr. Fetterman said in an interview late Friday that the senator will remain hospitalized as doctors try out new medications and dosages to test their efficacy. Mr. Fetterman will also engage in talk therapy, the aide said, meeting with a professional therapist to discuss the experiences he has had, including the challenges of campaigning for office.
Great. He’ll be out for a month while talking to his shrink.
The hospital stay could range from weeks to more than a month, but likely less than two months, the aide said, citing the time frame the doctors are focusing on.
The latest revelations indicate that Fetterman isn’t capable of even physically caring for himself.
The aide said that Mr. Fetterman had gone to George Washington University Hospital due to being malnourished and dehydrated, and those problems re-emerged in the past week.
This is ridiculous. As bad as Biden is, he’s capable of more or less showing up to events and saying something, and eating and drinking. Fetterman isn’t even capable of that. If he can’t care for himself, he certainly can’t care for his constituents.
“There’s a lot of absorbed negative experiences from [the campaign] that are probably worth unpacking in a therapeutic environment,” the aide said.
He should unpack this is his free time after stepping down. There’s no excuse for this. None.
There’s not much of a standard for elected officials, but showing up to work is the minimal one, albeit now that showing up work means Zoom.
Lawmakers have rallied around Mr. Fetterman. “Seeking help when you need it is a sign of strength, not weakness, something that John is demonstrating for all of us,” tweeted Sen. Tina Smith (D., Minn.), who has previously detailed her struggles with depression.
Not coming to work for months… that’s a real sign of strength for Tina’s party.
Meanwhile actual working-class Pennsylvanians, unlike Fetterman who’s a coddled rich kid who wears hoodies, tattoos and shaves his head, are left with no one to speak for them while everyone praises him for having the strength to lie to the voters and then hide out in a hospital instead of taking responsibility.
“doctors try out new medications and dosages to test their efficacy”
So now he’s a zombie test rat.
thats the usual process and completely unremarkable ( except i don’t believe why he is in the hospital but that’s another issue)
They checked him into the local farmers market because they just realized that he has been a carrot since last October.
His wife attended Dr Jill’s seminar on political puppetry. She will take it from here.
No doubt that was the plan all along. Has she ever legalized her stay in this country, or is she still enjoying illegal alien status?
Fetterman’s job is to hold down the seat of power and prevent distraction from implementation of party agenda.
Distractions like some kooky notion that pops into the head of some nincompoops whose unanalysised assumptions include that their opinions matter to those to whom they entrusted their sacred vote.
Without the endless supply of gullible rubes we cough up in even numbered Novembers, Democrat governance would whither.
Thank God for the news media and the teacher’s unions. The racket couldn’t even exist without them.
I do not believe he us hospitalized for depression alone. He may be depressed but I see that as a cover for how disabled he actually is due to his other medical problems.
Today, it is quite rare to require month or more of hospitalization for depression. This man is not physically/ medically fit for office. . He never was. I support none of his political positions nor have any positive feelings for his party. But whoever he is I see it as an act of cruelty to him to put him in a campaign and in office.
And another Democrat corrupt hoax on the public.
One has to feel sorry for the poor man. He has no idea what he has been manipulated into doing and he is probably terrified at the idea that he is so far in over his head.
Fetterman is a vegetable and a fitting representative of the corrupt state of Pennsylvania.
Gee thanks, from a sentient Pennsylvanian! Though I am not so happy about my vote being stolen in one election after another.
That’s the FPM way. Sooner than later you’ll become the target of the endless hatred that permeates this blog.
Says the hate monger. Typical Dirtbagocrat leftist. You’re all racist hypocrites.
You’re a closeted homosexual who threatened to send me pictures of you having sex with your wife. I should ask her what thumb wrestling is like.
Reminded me of “Foster’s Freeze”. We used to get milkshakes there as kids on long car trips during summer vacation.
I looked it up, they still exist 🙂

Someone wrote a book about John Kerry Unfit for Command well the same for Biden, Fetterman and their entire cabinet
LOL! You’re still wasting your time even recalling that book? It was part of a smear campaign to keep a known draft dodger in power. Boomers had the perfect chance to elect a Vietnam vet to the presidency. Instead they chose draft dodger after draft dodger. Clinton dodged and went 8 years. Bush the lesser got his 8 years too.
John O’Neil and Jerome Corsi are real men, unlike you. I read “Unfit For Command” Twice and it’s a scathing indictment of Ketchup Kerry and all you left wing scum and it’s very well written, which is something you left wing scum are incapable of. It exposes your BLATANT lies
Smoke a turd in Hell, motherfucker, cock sucker.
If I were a Democrat, I would be depressed and in a vegetative state also.
There’s nothing to live for but death, disease, despair, poverty, hell. . .
And no one to call on for help but the likes of Biden/Pelosi/Schumer . . .
Even his wife doesn’t appear to care enough to help feed and console him.
Yes, the fact that he was dehydrated and malnourished told me everything I needed to know about her. She can’t wait for him to die and to assume his office herself. Our governor might be an idiot, but I hope that he is not stupid enough to fall for that scam and that he appoints some other totally unqualified vegetative individual for the job.
Do you actually think being a repub is better? You still have “…nothing to live for but death, disease, despair, poverty, hell. . .” to deal with but now you’re obligated to live in a state of denial about reality itself. Biden et al are hot garbage who literally don’t care if we live or die. The only difference the repubs offer is they’ll spit in your mouth first and then watch you die.
Everything you wrote is the reverse ofrreality.
Standard Dirtbagocrat leftism.
You piece of shit. But is there any other type of Dirtbagocrat?
Jeff, you need to stop. You have to tell your wife about all the affairs you’ve had with men and numerous encounters with sex workers. You’re not worth but your wife deserves to know the truth.
“This isn’t a partisan issue.”
This is one of if the biggest lies you’ve told lately. You are purely a beast of partisanship. Reagan had dementia while in office. Dick Cheney had a heart attack during the 2000 run and it was kept from the public. Trump obviously has dementia. All this doesn’t warrant a peep.
In the here and now George Santos has lied about so many things I doubt he even knows his own name. Yet, here we are with nothing coming out of FPM. Pathetic.
You accuse Reagan of Dementia when we have a mentally retarded Alzheimer patient who’s also a pathological liar and criminal lowlife in office?. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? Do you enjoy America’s decline and seven dollar eggs? You Fucking piece of shit!
^^^^ another bed wetting pajama boi that has gone full retard! ^^^^
You can’t debunk anything I wrote so you’ve regressed into childish name calling. So quickly too. Even by FPM standards you’re weak.
His biggest problem is named Karma. She is one tough _itch.
