That's Mr. Asshole to you, punk. 

Can you possibly make a point without a personal attack ?  No, you can't because you are mean by nature and a first class bully as you demonstrate over and over again.  You need help. STAT ! !

I have wished no ill will on him, unlike you towards me.

He should have withdrawn his candidacy due to his medical conditions, for his own good, not to mention the good of the people of Pennsylvania.

But instead, he pushed ahead and set himself up for this latest health crisis.  It demonstrates a lack of self respect.  He has no one to blame but himself.


Mr. would imply respect.   

I like how you've tried to twist this all around, but the point was you of all people should understand how a health issue can have all sorts of impacts on your life, professional, personal and beyond. But you chose to make a snide remark about him not voting and now saying he should have withdrawn. But he can still fulfill a majority of his job, and appears to be doing so: 

https://www.inquirer.com/politics/pennsylvania/john-fetterman-hospitalized-depression-senate-bills-constituent-services-20230306.html
https://www.inquirer.com/polit...

in 2012, Mark Kirk had a stroke (https://www.npr.org/2014/03/09/288108181/a-senators-long-and-patient-recovery-from-stroke
https://www.npr.org/2014/03/09...) so I'm sure you can point to where you are out here calling for his resignation right?  No, because he's on 'your team', and that's all you really care about.  

So pardon me, but I will continue to call you out on your hypocrisy and your disingenuousness as long as you continue to present it.

Some perspective from an NYT article:

When Mr. Fetterman checked himself into the hospital on Feb. 15, the lead doctor told him that his case was treatable and guaranteed he would get back to his old self. Post-stroke depression, doctors said, affects one in three people and can be very serious, but is also highly treatable.

...

The strict regimen may be working. People around Mr. Fetterman said they have noticed a palpable difference in him in recent days: His sense of humor has returned and he is more sociable, sharing with the nurses some of the sweets that have been sent to him by fellow senators.

...

Since Mr. Fetterman checked in to the hospital, he has co-sponsored a bipartisan bill designed to help prevent future train derailment disasters, opened new district offices across Pennsylvania and hired four new staff members. On Wednesday, Mr. Fetterman sent a letter to the agriculture secretary, pressing the administration to deploy resources to the site of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, to help farmers concerned about chemical release threatening the viability of their farms and livestock. East Palestine is near the Pennsylvania border.

...

It is not unusual for lawmakers to be told by members of their staff, sometimes after the fact, what bills they are co-sponsoring. With the exception of calls to cabinet officials or meetings with the chief executives of companies that are important to their states, there are few meetings that cannot be handled by senior staff.

“Any lobbyist will tell you that if you get as high as the chief of staff, and that chief makes a promise to you that the senator will do something, that will be accepted,” said Ross Baker, professor of political science at Rutgers University and a former aide to Senator Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada. “It will be as if the senator himself gave the OK.”

Mr. Baker added that even with a senator sidelined, “a Senate office, particularly under an experienced chief of staff, would run pretty much in a normal way.”

Fetterman was a terrible candidate who had a stroke...and STILL WON!    He's smarter than he looks, but he really shouldn't have been the Dem candidate last year (Connor Lamb would have probably crushed Oz).  

The really good news is that his not voting is still better than having Dr. Oz on the floor.   


Australia has an interesting tradition when a member is unable to vote for health or other reasons, the opposing party will designate a member to abstain from voting to keep the balance. Since voting is almost invariably on party lines it is pretty fair and surprisingly polite.

Good debate; no ad hominem attacks. Support your argument with links, vids, rhetoric or facts. Even if you disagree, behave graciously.

He saved the state of Pennsylvania from a right-wing liar whose ambition superseded truth and fairness.

What he did SAVED PA from 6 years in Oz.  For that, the people of PA are eternally grateful.  

He put the Constitution and the country before personal health.  On the Right, they'd be raising money for a statue.

Absolutely true. 

We could call Hillary Clinton a Anti-Semitic Ethnic Cleansing Terrorist and, technically speaking that would be correct.  But where does it get us?  

Perhaps an adult-like, mature discussion of nuclear weapons doctrine, strategy and proliferation would represent time better spent?

Tulsi Gabbard announces she is leaving the Democratic Party
Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard ran an unsuccessful bid for the Democrat presidential nomination In 2020.

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard announced she is leaving the Democratic Party, denouncing it as an "elitist cabal of warmongers," while calling upon other "common sense independent minded Democrats" to exit with her.

"I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war," Gabbard said on Twitter.
