I’m from Pennsylvania and we had such hopes for him, even as a possible President someday. But it’s obvious that he suffered cognitive damage from the stroke and he needs to step down.

I'm not going to bring this entire discussion over because it's essentially what you'd expect, but I find it both interesting and revealing.

I don’t row over to the island cesspool often because I hate having to put on the hazmat suit, but I got to thinking about something this morning and figured it would be worth the trouble to see if I was correct. And I was.

While SloJo was shuffling around, falling down, forgetting where he was, forgetting people’s names, being only active a few hours per day, shaking hands with people who were not there, claiming to have oil cancer, claiming to have been raised black/Jewish/PuertoRican/etc, claiming his uncle was eaten by cannibals, muttering, and making up words, the left couldn’t see any problems with his cognitive ability and claimed he was as sharp as a tack, but all of a sudden they can clearly see and are concerned with Fetterman’s cognitive ability.

So what did Fetterman do that apparently granted them the ability to finally be able to see cognitive issues? Despite what they will claim, what Fetterman did was say he intends to do his job as a senator. He said that he will NOT be against something just because Trump is the one to support or suggest it. He said that if Trump puts forth something that he agrees with that he’ll help him and support him on that issue. While that seems to be a good sensible idea to normal people, to the left, which is a collection of the most abnormal individuals on the planet, common sense like that is fighting words and automatically puts Fetterman on the outs.

What sort of interests me is that the left has a combined collection of stupidity and self-centeredness that is staggering so I suppose that it is possible that they really didn’t see SloJo’s brain activity was almost nonexistent; however, since they are also inherently dishonest, selfish, AND uncaring, it’s also possible that they were lying because they just didn’t care about SloJo and only cared about how pretending he was president benefitted them and their agenda of perversion and anti-Americanism.

     They're only useful until they step off the reservation. Were I Fetterman, I'd be watching my back.

Their hypocrisy is astounding. If they weren't questioning Fetterman's fitness for office when he was campaigning for senator, they shouldn't be doing so now.

And Fetterman still sides with Democrats the great majority of the time, doesn't he?

There was systematic political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union,[1] based on the interpretation of political opposition or dissent as a psychiatric problem.[2] It was called "psychopathological mechanisms" of dissent.[3]

During the leadership of General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, psychiatry was used to disable and remove from society political opponents (Soviet dissidents) who openly expressed beliefs that contradicted the official dogma.[4][5] The term "philosophical intoxication", for instance, was widely applied to the mental disorders diagnosed when people disagreed with the country's Communist leaders and, by referring to the writings of the Founding Fathers of Marxism–Leninism—Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Vladimir Lenin—made them the target of criticism.[6] Another common pseudo-diagnosis was "sluggish schizophrenia".

Fetterman isn't toeing every Dem Party Line, DU-grade Proggies pissed. How dare he think for himself!!!111

As I've acknowledged recently, we all relentlessly mocked Fetterman when he ran for Senate in 2022. But now, he's pro-Jew and took that pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago which really pissed off the leftist media types. How about trying applying the same standard to Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. in his 40 "esteemed service to our country". There are lots of aging "Republicans in Name Only" whom also qualify.

Obviously, I’m prejudiced, but while LIEden deteriorated steadily and seriously over the years since running in 2019, Fetterman seems to have improved or recovered since being elected Senator.
