Because it's not really about his 'ability to serve. It's a disingenuous, opportunistic concern-trolling done in bad faith.

It’s also a topic that’s been discussed as naseaum for a good while now.

Are you offering anything new or worthwhile to the discourse?

There would be a special election in 2024 if Shapiro fills his seat prior to August.

Diane Feinstein is 89, has very poor mental facilities and can’t be assigned to most committees.

"I'm not arguing in bad faith" immediately starts making bad faith arguments to statements that refute their claims.

When I watched the Oz/Fetterman debate, I felt bad for John, although I’m a fan of neither of them. After that poor showing, it shows what a LOUSY candidate Oz was (and always will be), if Fetterman was able to beat him after showing visible difficulty with some of the questions. I think the PA governor’s race and this senate race embodied just how terrible our nations politics are.

Because that's a normal thing for people in the hospital for clinical depression to do.

Like I said, trolls gonna troll.

That's the point, if he was sick, he should not have been put in that position.

You know why.

And you know he’s not there- so maybe this is why questions get deleted by the mods. It devolves into the same bs.

130 comments sounds like open debate to me.

OP are you under the impression that if he resigns, there will a new election?

Because lol nope. Pennsylvania Senators are replaced by appointment of the governor. Which would either be Fett’s wife or maybe Connor Lamb. There won’t be a special election.

This is why none of us were that worried about his ability to serve. Because we knew we’d keep the seat even if he resigns.

Have we seen video of John lately or heard him speak? Are you not worried he is incapacitated?

Not yet. You know you can get sick at your job and still hold onto your position.

Mitch McConnel just got released from residential rehab

For people to be able to openly debate a question that clearly people want to talk about.

The fact is that his Party has lied about his health for nearly a year now, and it's time for the charade to stop. If he is unfit the people deserve a run off election, not a Giselle or someone else being put in his place in August.

Trolls going to troll, I get it.

But he hasn't "disappeared" for weeks. He isn't Mark Sanford. He's in the hospital. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/pennsylvania/john-fetterman-depression-hospital-return-soon-senate-pennsylvania-20230324.html

​

It took all of 5 seconds to Google that. If you're going to argue he isn't fit to serve, fine, but don't bullshit and gaslight all of us by saying he disappeared and if Oz would do a better job.

But again, trolls will troll.

Sure.

OP claims in bad faith that John Fetterman has disappeared, when that’s not the case at all. He’s in the hospital being treated for a medical condition, and everybody knows this because he’s been very open about his struggles. I suspect you know this, too.

OP is just salty because his guy lost the election, nothing more.

Here is an article summarizing the GOP chaired senate intel report in regards to kilimnic. As well as a link to the actual report below.

As far as the data reaching the GRU, that was in the treasury department’s report detailing sanctions against the Russian folks who hacked and spread propaganda that benefited trump in the 2016 campaign.

Name any other Senator who cannot make it to the senate floor to do their jobs.

Your post yesterday had almost 130 comments. What else do you want?

Is he on the Senate floor?

He hasn’t “disappeared” though. We all know where he is and why.

Is it bad faith to ask if a person who represents not only the state of PA, but the entire Nation, is fit for the job? Should we not question people's ability to do jobs? It's done everyday, yet for one of the most important positions in the world, it's bad faith to ask?

Would you hire him to manage your business?

I’m missing the bad faith in his question. Would you kindly show us where that is?
