    On Tuesday, Fetterman said that the New York magazine article was built on “one source” with “a couple anonymous sources,” describing it as a “hit piece from a very left publication.”

    Countdown to Fetterman switching parties in 3 … 2 …

      There already exists several NIH studies and even a meta analysis linking brain damage with conservative changes in political opinion.

      It always involves paranoia, which leads to conspiracies, which fundamentalism of any religion is full of.

        “American Spring” hahaha that’s a good one. We’re going to continue to collectively sit on our asses riding the wave of fascism right into hell while eating Wendy’s and playing Xbox.

    You know, wild, insane conspiracy theory, but maybe the mental breakdown is more than just aftereffects from the stroke.

    What if some republican patsy at a three letter agency has some serious blackmail on him? He’s a public figure, his actions easily scrutinized. As a senator his time, statements, and votes are public, and the government itself is doing the blackmail, so he can’t turn to anyone. If he resigns they release the blackmail. The only way to not have the blackmail released is to fake these issues. Or maybe the pressure is actually breaking him, who knows.

      It’s not that complex, he’s always been a POS even before his stroke, the stroke just disinhibited him. Plus paranoia and paranoid delusions are symptoms of brain damage

    Fetterman never asked for this.

    He wants to stand in his garage sipping a beer.
