really going after the press on Fetterman. He is doing a litany of illness in the Presidency, i.e. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, and the strokes suffered by two senators this year. It's no big fucking deal, people recover and come back. it's a goddam shame the way the press is portraying Fetterman's stroke.
Hey Press, Shut the Fucking Fuck UP!

(32,739 posts)I guess they think he's not perfect enough. When are they going to talk about what a terrible public speaker Chump is?
Well of course Oz is more polished, he's a reality TV star, for pity's sake. Nobody ever said Fetterman is a TV star. Besides that he's still recovering from from a stroke and working the physical therapy. He'll be fine.
I was very happy to hear Lawrence take those critics to task. They were unfair and their comments were stupidly rude.

(9,771 posts)The stakes are high, but the M$M doesn't care to enlighten a folks just what's at stake. The average citizen has no clue it's democracy itself.
And many who do know are more worried about crime that comes nowhere near them and gas prices, even though Americans pay far less than we ought to for it.
If the fascist Rs take power, we'll all have far greater problems than anything most of us face now. No hair-on-fite reporting on that from the M$M.

Vote for the man that cares so much for his community, it literally gave him a stroke, BUT HE'S BACK AND FIGHTING his way to Congress for the people of PA and the everyone else fighting for our Country, NOT AGAINGST IT!
