Social media is awash right now with wild rumors about the condition of Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, who has been hospitalized for depression—a hospitalization that will apparently last a month or longer. We should await some facts or other kinds of confirmation before drawing conclusions about nefarious political calculations, but it is confirmed that his wife and children have fled the country to “avoid media attention.” I don’t know much about treating what appears to be severe depression (a month in the hospital?), but common sense would suggest the presence of wife and family is instrumental for treatment and recovery. No wonder there are rumors spreading.

Another pro-baby-killing, perverted, pro-child mutilation Democrat who may meet his Judge a little sooner than the rest.

He got elected because there are Democrats who would never, ever vote for a Republican under any circumstances, just like me and all of you would ever vote for a Democrat, no matter how bad the Republican could be. In our case, the worst Republican is thousands of times better than any Democrat because we know Democrats always screw things up.

Cyuck U and company stole this Senate seat. They can’t be allowed to continue to vote it to their advantage because a special election would result in a Republican winning.

I think there’s still plenty of ballots left over from 2022 to elect his wife. Or his dog. Or his toilet seat. Does it matter to the dims?

Democrats want him "alive" until Aug. so there won't be a re-do of the election. Nobody will see his body until after that date. His wife is on long-term vacation doing a Weekend at Bernie's without actually having to tote around the corpse...

I don't get it. He's every bit as lucid as your average Democrat.

#4, he got elected because the Democrats cheated and we stood by and did nothing. Just as in 2030.

#11, Lurch was played by John Kerry, who is presently globe-trotting around on Government jets as Bai-den's "special presidential envoy for climate".
I think Fetterman played Uncle Fester on the Addams Family.
From what photos I have seen of her, that wife of his could star in her own horror show..... she will not need makeup.

Our family has known a severe hemorrhagic stroke that was centered in the basal ganglia. Physical recovery amazed all therapists. Aphasia remains to this day. It can affect speech, reading, writing, and also understanding of language. Or all of the above. Although new pathways can develop, that is in the early days with intensive inpatient rehabilitation. If that opportunity is lost, the odds are that, wthout extended multidisciplinary rehabilitation as an outpatient, the recover will indeed plateau. Most neurologists estimage six months. If stimulation continues at home, if therapists school the immediate family so that they can continue the work, rehabilitation may continue longer. But the person will never be brand new. They require a lot of sleep so that their brain’s activities can be “filed away”. Stress is not good for them. Along with aphasia thay often suffer loss in the area of the brain where executive ability, impulse control, empathy and judgement are located.
Scientific American’s piece is medical puffery. Shameful.

I see the Festerman office just released an update. He's doing great - why would you even ask? But they cautioned well-wishers that's its only been a couple weeks. Check back in a few weeks I guess? They do not provide any meaningful updates on his condition.

For anyone allowed to read this post: Fetterman's wife posted an "unusual" media announcement, as a way to signal, world-wide, to every other like minded, Davos devotee, that a significant "change" affecting the US Senate left-right balance, has occurred.

Is he taking a spot from a veteran active service member? He never served. Hardly spent a day in the senate. Should be in a private hospital in Pittsburgh.

Come on, people. You know Fetterwoman is going to be Joe’s next running mate after they find a way to get rid of Cackles.

It is better for the country that Senator Fetterman can't vote.

No one should be surprised that we haven’t had any reports on his condition. Did we ever get one with Paul Pelosi? My feeling is that there were no reports on Pelosi because he was never actually injured. And there are no reports on Fetterman for the opposite reason. He’s not hospitalized for depression - it is something much much worse.

Festerman was unfit before his "election." This stain will remain on Pennsylvania's reputation for a long time, not that they had a glowing honesty rating before stealing the 2020 and 2022 elections from multiple conservative candidates. His wife was the obvious "brains" behind his career, or maybe one of the kids, or the dog.

Fetterman is just a leftist and socialist Democrat figurehead holding down a Senate seat for the leftist and socialist Democrats, with all the legislative and political decisions made by unidentified others. Nothing that he leftist and socialist Democrats should be surprising there, as the Democrat Party these days is actually an asylum that is using all sorts of inmates to push their leftist and socialist “woke” political agenda.

I don't understand why the wife fled to Canada and isn't sitting in his seat in DC. I thought that was the plan. Didn't BiteMe say she's going to make a great Senator?

Since Pennsylvania democrats sent that cabbage head Uncle Fetterman to Congress I'm happy that their team lost the Super Bowl.
