Gargamel chases the Smurfs for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is a desire to eat them. But he also wants to turn them into a potion to make gold, or maybe cure his baldness. Sometimes he just wants to kill them all.

They absolutely do it on purpose for clicks. Just like whenever there is a headline like "Trump, 79, suffers..." and we all pray it's a heart attack, but then it's just "...in polls with Latino voters"

The_Barbelo Mar 30, 2026 +1

I also thought for a minute that Fetterman was telling Trump to step down because he no longer represents his voters and I almost did a somersault. They definitely write headlines like this purposefully for clicks. It’s the same reason they’ve been putting Trumps age in every f****** headline. “Trump, 79, blah blah”. It’s because a headline is usually written in that format after someone famous dies. Click click click. It seems like that strategy is being used less now though.

If he resigned, he would no longer be getting the awesome healthcare that is funded by our tax dollars. So he will not resign. While he is getting that tax funded healthcare, he should really talk to his doctors and therapists about his obvious personal issues. He also will not do that.

290

Rogu__Spanish Mar 30, 2026 +1

Also, he thinks he's the good guy here, he literally admitted that brain damage made him conservative and somehow didn't take 2 seconds to consider what that says about his current views. Probably cause of, you know, the brain damage.

Took a friend about 4 years to be 95% of himself after a stroke. He was only 20 at the time. Any sort of trauma to your brain should be an automatic resignation for officials.

1

SATX_Citizen Mar 30, 2026 +1

It sucks because I don't think he's evil, MAGA. I genuinely, and without meaning to be insulting, think he suffered a mental change due to his brain health that changed his outlook and thus his political leanings, and he truly does no longer represent the people that got him elected. I wish him good health but also, f*** him for being so performatively contrarian to liberal causes. He's got to go. edit: I admit I read the comments before the very short essay this link has. The final line really sums it up well. >I believe your talents will be called to serve the community and people you have served so well in the past. But your current actions in the Senate have betrayed me and the majority of Pennsylvanians who voted for you. We elect our leaders to represent our interests. I hope you do the right thing and resign.

Specifically, the mechanisms for removing a sitting US senator are written into US constitution. Without changing the US constitution, there's no mechanism for recall.

foley23 Mar 30, 2026 +11

Carpet Bagger Oz, outside of once I saw him on election day, hasn't touched they house he bought here to run until recently when there's been some renovations done. He would not have been good here. I voted and believed in Fetterman. A lot of people around me did. He was always a Zionist, and I was foolish to overlook that because I was worried about the future of the state. But that stroke really fucked him up. From what I remember reading, the recalls have an absolutely batshit crazy process it's not even worth trying. It's embarrassing to feel duped but at least I can admit it

That's a really big stretch. He *does* vote on Democratic bills at least half the time, which is much more than the typical, actual-fascist Republican. But yes, on the flip side, he's not only voting for more and more MAGA legislation, he f****** talks like them and repeats their tired misinformation points, so he indeed is a shitbag.

1

RampantHedgehog Mar 30, 2026 +1

He doesn’t agree with republicans on numerous issues. What you hear are his stances on Israel and some social issues that he does align with them on, making you think he’s “MAGA” or something of the like

1

Dazzling-Jaguar-4674 Mar 30, 2026 +618

He suffered a stroke back in 2022. He is not ok, cognitively speaking. A lot of people who knew him, such as his wife are aware that it changed his whole personality. He's transformed into a fascist conservative.

> For their own safety, even. The stress that one should *have* to endure as a Rep or a Senator precludes stroking out. Stress and anxiety are terrible and inductive or triggering or whatever for these things, and often represent a major roadblock in stroke recovery. If you have a stroke, you need to take a break, work on getting your faculties back full time, along with getting extensive therapy, usually.

Has his wife publicly acknowledged that his personality completely changed for the worse after the stroke?

15

rockytop24 Mar 30, 2026 +1

His staffers have, there was a journalist who did a write up on it. He became a lot more irrational and emotional and impulsive. From what I remember reading about the staffers trying to have him evaluated and staying on his meds, they were really concerned and reached out to his wife. Iirc she was reportedly also concerned but then later denied that herself when asked directly or in a statement I can't remember all the details. But not all that surprising if you're the wife of a politician who's post stroke and... like this. Whether it's some level of denial or providing cover from the public's opinion, who can say?

WilliamLermer Mar 30, 2026 +1

I don't think that stroke had such a massive impact. Seems more like he was always flirting with Rep, but realized he would have better chances posing as Dem. Just look at all the theatrics making him relatable and an ordinary man of the people. Wolf in sheep's clothing. He deceived people to get his position. Blaming it on his stroke alone is cutting him too much slack It might have made him more conservative than before. Not suddenly conservative

1

Nagemasu Mar 30, 2026 +1

> Seems more like he was always flirting with Rep It can be true that he was a Dem that leaned further right than most others *and* that after his stroke he became more conservative. They are not mutually exclusive.

joshphishphan Mar 30, 2026 +1

He almost hit my car in the Costco parking lot down at the Waterfront. In his big ass truck, with Giselle in the passenger side. He was obviously in a hurry to get somewhere. But I can verify that he's not a cautious driver.

Disordered_Steven Mar 30, 2026 +8

Brain injuries rarely help a person’s insight. Those who work in the community will always try to put a spin on it as life-changing or the media will report “miraculous recovery” but they are pretty devastating all around.

I think the stroke caused him to "stop acting."

59

needlestack Mar 30, 2026 +48

I hear you. But I also dislike this line of reasoning. I think of myself and how my brain can come up with all sorts of stupid ideas, and the "real me" is the filtered version. Not every idea my brain comes up with is something that I like. *I* am the sum of my impulses and filters. One of my great fears is that I'll have a stroke or some other brain damage that kills off one or more of my carefully curated filters and suddenly I'm saying or doing shit that *I* wouldn't want to do. And then people saying "ah, that's the *real* needlestack!" No! The whole me was the real me! Now you're getting a brain firing on one cylinder -- of course it's going to suck!

48

Actual__Wizard Mar 30, 2026 +28

>I am the sum of my impulses and filters. That is actually a lot more true then you likely realize. Regarding the executive function of your brain. That's almost word for word how it actually works in reality.

Allaplgy Mar 30, 2026 +1

I'm much more afraid of people who don't have crazy/messed up intrusive thoughts regularly than those that do.

ShepardRTC Mar 30, 2026 +25

My mom went through a lot of mini-strokes and a full-on stroke. Every time her personality would change, sometimes dramatically. Like to the point of not caring about anything. Then the next mini stroke kicked her back to caring. How she lasted as long as she did, I don’t know. But my point is that Fetterman could absolutely have been changed that dramatically by the stroke. And he could still think he’s perfectly fine and able to do his job.

Thank you for the response. Very interesting.

RaisonDetritus Mar 30, 2026 +1

Don’t assume that disinhibition only “reveals” what’s simmering beneath the surface. Strokes can genuinely change a person’s personality. Any kind of brain damage can. Look into Phineas Gage. He was a rail worker who survived being impaled through the brain with a metal rod. Completely changed his personality.

1

eragonawesome2 Mar 30, 2026 +18

Brain damage is known to make people dumber and angrier so that checks out. Doesn't change the fact that he no longer represents his constituents and ought to be removed from office along with the rest of the fascists

18

Destithen Mar 30, 2026 +1

> Brain damage is known to make people dumber and angrier It's also known to make people more conservative. Like...when people shift political views because of head trauma, it's ALWAYS to lean more conservative.

MiddleAgedSponger Mar 30, 2026 +24

He wasn't that great before the stroke. His life achievements were minimal and the only progressive thing about him was his rhetoric.

JWBananas Mar 30, 2026 +1

> He's transformed into a fascist conservative. John Fetterman? The same John Fetterman who in 2013 pursued an unarmed bystander with his truck, and detained him with a shotgun that he was carrying illegally loaded in said truck, for jogging while black? That John Fetterman? We're blaming the *stroke* here? The man was never a progressive. He was at best a populist. That his flavor of populism occasionally overlapped with Bernie's agenda was incidental. He was elected to his Senate seat for being not Dr. Oz.

It's so painful to watch his interviews. At times, I feel like I can see his pre-stroke mind trying to contradict what his post-stroke brain delivers to his mouth. But it never seems to happen.

3

Umgar Mar 30, 2026 +6

I’m really tired of reading this take. Ya he had a stroke but strokes don’t usually completely overhaul your personality, ethos, and values. Fetterman was always bad and a lot of people tried to warn that he was, above all, an opportunist and in it for himself first. But everyone went “hurrr he wears hoodies I like him,” including Listnook - so here we are. I hope people learn a lesson from this. The left is not immune to making bad choices in who they elect because they aren’t willing to look past their first impression of how a person looks and talks and actually do some research to see what they would be electing.

6

RaisonDetritus Mar 30, 2026 +1

It depends on what part of the brain the stroke occurred in. Not every part of the brain is responsible for personality and decision making. I’m not privy to Fetterman’s medical information, so I don’t feel comfortable talking about him specifically. What I think you have right is that it’s important to look at the pre- and post-morbid personalities to see what changes can be attributed to strokes. However, I want to emphasize that certain kinds of strokes really can change people in shockingly drastic ways.

1

bkgn Mar 30, 2026 +3

I'm really tired of reading THAT take. Yes he was probably not a great person pre-stroke. But the stroke also clearly and obviously damaged his executive function.

Silent-Resort-3076 Mar 30, 2026 +129

Opinion letter from the posted article part 1: "Dear Sen. John Fetterman, I first heard about you years ago when my son worked in Braddock at Fossil Free Fuels converting cars to run on waste vegetable oil. My son drove me around Braddock, showed me what you were doing for the community. I saw the store that your wife started there for those in need. That’s when you captured my heart. Your commitment to the town of Braddock was nothing short of inspirational. You were representing the values of the people in your community and in our state. So, in all the subsequent elections, you’ve always had my vote. I was so saddened to hear of your health struggles and searched the press to find news of your well-being. Having had a brush with death myself, I know it changes you. It puts life in perspective. Sharpens the focus on what’s important. But as a presence in the government, I no longer recognize you. I wonder if your stroke left you without the will to fight. Perhaps it underscored the need for honesty and decency and extending a hand to the other side. Whatever the effect, I now see a man who in his decency is bringing a pen knife to an AK-47 fight."

129

Silent-Resort-3076 Mar 30, 2026 +83

Conclusion: "I used to believe that our failure as a country was a failure in our ability to communicate and compromise with one another to reach an understanding. It’s only over time that I’ve become aware of how Citizens United corrupted our politics and skewed entire elections to represent monied interests. But we currently have in power such a group of corrupt individuals that the rules of engagement have changed. We are in a desperate fight for our freedom, our beliefs, and the security of our future. So, I ask, are you up to the task? Even though I feel I know you, I don’t really. But I know you do not represent my beliefs in the Senate any longer nor are you representing the beliefs of the majority of those people who voted for you in Pennsylvania. I implore you to step down. I believe your talents will be called to serve the community and people you have served so well in the past. But your current actions in the Senate have betrayed me and the majority of Pennsylvanians who voted for you. We elect our leaders to represent our interests. I hope you do the right thing and resign. I submit this to you with all respect and concern. I’ve deeply cared about your mission in the past, but I do not recognize your position any longer, and you do little to articulate it to your constituents. Please do the right thing and represent the values of those of us who voted for you, or step down."

delicious_toothbrush Mar 30, 2026 +1

What does this even mean? Outside of resignation, the only other likely option is voting in a replacement. Maybe that's what you're saying but that's not a cute trap, that's just how it works. Nobody's actually expecting him to resign but it'd be nice if he was out of office sooner rather than later to minimize his deleterious impact.

Pans_Labradoodle Mar 30, 2026 +1

Several of his staffers said that he had a breakdown, screaming “why is everybody mad at me?” a while ago, so I do think that he cares… he just expects people to applaud him for being a dickhead and is confused why people think he’s a dickhead. The truth is Fetterman, a man who chased down a black jogger and held him at gun point, has always been an a******, and never the leftist darling people projected onto him.

This_Elk_1460 Mar 30, 2026 +31

Man isn't it weird there's always this rotating cast of villains within the Senate Democrats? Before Fetterman it was Manchin and Sinema. And before them you had Joe Lieberman. (something about Arizona Democrats IDK) It almost makes you think it's by design.

31

jagedlion Mar 30, 2026 +1

It used to be normal to disagree with your party occasionally. While dissent is no longer allowed in either party to the extent it used to be, it is still more allowed among Demoncrats. As a result, there are always Democrats who you can choose to blame for not being pure enough, especially in comparison to Repiblicans. Through 2024, Fetterman voted with the Democrats on 85% of 'crucial' votes. Since Trump was reelected that has dropped to 73%. These aren't villains, they are just politicians that still think that negotiation is possible. If you turn back time to something like 2015 you'll find that such a voting record would be somewhat typical, and he would have lots of company with something like 10+ Dems even more likely to vote against the party.

Fetterman is a huge disappointment. I was behind him from the start, I defended him after the stroke, etc. But he's been a big let down and I'd vote against him in a primary if I could (not a registered dem, so I can't). That said, I'd rather have him over Oz.

15

He’s a bait and switch. He didn’t change, he just deceived his constituents. Either way, he’s not resigning. He’s happy with the job he’s doing.

He represents Israel, not American or American citizens. How many of you have a flag of the US, the country you're living in, in your house ? And how many of you have a flag of Israel at the ready in your house so that you can brandish on your roof when protesters are on your street protesting against you and your support of Israeli aggression ? Why is nobody mentioning the fact that nearly every single he's been saying and doing for the past 2 years have been in favor of Israel.

The lesser of 2 evils. Remember Dr. Oz? Crudités?

I worked on his campaign and now I’m actually thinking about primary him to take his job except I plan on running for president and I plan on winning so I might just go after Mike Kelly’s job in Congress in Pennsylvania to give people some actual representation What does everybody think do you think I should or do you think we should just fantasize that someday everything is just gonna be magically fixed while all the MAGA sit here and screw us all in the ass and steal every penny we have

OmarsMommy Mar 30, 2026 +1

He’s representing AIPAC and MAGA just fine. Problem is, he pretended to be a progressive when he was running.

I donated to that f***** TWICE. Last year I demanded my money back and they actually sent it.

He’ll say he still does, and anyone who says otherwise is a leftist

This_Elk_1460 Mar 30, 2026 +3

You know I've always said being a conservative is a mental illness and he in a way sort of proves that

_14justice Mar 30, 2026 +1

And supported you! I was Fetterman'd in CA. Fetterman is a verb.

1

NotJimmy97 Mar 30, 2026 +1

Well, I reckon he's going to fix that by just becoming a Republican after the midterm election.

1

ConjectureProof Mar 30, 2026 +1

It is funny that Fetterman is living proof trumpism can be caused by brain damage

1

Lynda73 Mar 30, 2026 +1

Yeah, right. If anything, he’ll change parties. He’ll be remembered with disgust.

1

barelyoptimal Mar 30, 2026 +1

He looks like a sagging ball sack

Recall already

Goddammit I read this too fast and thought it said “Fetterman to step down…”

2

Osirus1156 Mar 30, 2026 +2

Itd be great if the people could vote to recall any politician at any time if enough people are pissed.

2

malkuth74 Mar 30, 2026 +2

He won’t.

2

Mediocrates79 Mar 30, 2026 +2

There was a time when a politician suffering a major health issue would cause voters to shy away from a candidate. We forgot an important lesson.

AntOk4073 Mar 30, 2026 +2

There needs to be a way for citizens to take a vote of no confidence.

revgill Mar 30, 2026 +1

I think he likes being in his position as a bad faith person.

naxhi24 Mar 30, 2026 +1

Based on what I understand about Fetterman, the only things that motivate him at this point are things that end in blood being spilled. Supporting Israel, supporting war with Iran, supporting ICE beating people up, supporting Ukraine against Russia, he's super energized on those topics, but apparently when it comes to anything else, he just kind of loses all desire and motivation, like a depressed man with no thoughts. His aides all resigned cause he just blindsides them with snuff films of Russian mercenaries committing atrocities in the world, and the only time he ever has light in his eyes at this point is when he is on Fox News hyping up the IDF. Its a damn shame given he has proven he once had motivation and interest in other things. We can argue that his stroke made him conservative, but its more akin to his stroke made the part of his brain that sees joy in violence the only part that is working. It just so happens that being pro "I want violence to happen" aligns him a lot with the conservative cause. Also, it made him a traitor to PA voters who voted for him cause all this violence doesnt help PA at all, but that's all he cares about now "Loneliest Democrat in the Senate" cause he became Holden Bloodfest...

nakedmedia Mar 30, 2026 +1

He's one of many Manchurians.

1

Knotknighm Mar 30, 2026 +1

I'm pretty sure he was always a GOP lackey. Just pretending to be a Democrat to get the seat. After the injury he didn't change, he just lost his mask.

1

iplaybassok89 Mar 30, 2026 +1

Well he’d been an elected official for almost twenty years by the time the ‘22 midterms rolled around. If this were true, why didn’t any of you look into it

1

kristamine14 Mar 30, 2026 +1

Not that any of them are working anyway - but there really should be some kind preventative or consequence to flipping on all of things that got you elected. What's the point of elections if they can just say whatever to win and then flip sides as soon they get in

1

SmallBarracuda4700 Mar 30, 2026 +1

Yep : massive piece of shit

1

Bldn_HrtGenX Mar 30, 2026 +1

Step the f*** down. What an awful person.

1

GigMistress Mar 30, 2026 +1

I wonder so often if this is brain damage or if he was scamming the voters from the beginning.

1

CrossBamboAtTen Mar 30, 2026 +1

But then he'll have to actually get a job.

1

spacepeenuts Mar 30, 2026 +1

Maybe it was the whole not dressing professionally thing? Just maybe.

1

Zug-Nuts Mar 30, 2026 +1

He’s the new Kristen Sinema.

1

philipjfry_ Mar 30, 2026 +1

He sucks and should be reminded about how much he sucks everywhere he goes.

1

haljordan68 Mar 30, 2026 +1

I send him this exact email every day.

He represents Israel.

Punning_Man Mar 30, 2026 +1

he might care if he didn’t have brain damage, or had a soul

1

Gender-Unbender_6769 Mar 30, 2026 +1

lol yall *let your party* dictate who to run by running a bald white redneck with brain damage against a qualified turkish muslim immigrant with a medical doctorate, and you voted for him because he ran with a D next to his name. I'm pretty sure he's the perfect representation for the people who elected him.

1

kracketmatow Mar 30, 2026 +1

i’m not from pennsylvania nor do i know a ton about fetterman but i just skimmed his wikipedia and he has missed 18% of votes (the most of any senator) and apparently consistently takes mondays and thursdays off. outside of any political position, that’s just a failure to his state. any reasonable business would fire someone who only worked 3 days a week and only met 80% of their deadlines

1

FlyingPiranha Mar 30, 2026 +1

I'm so sickened by the about face this shithead pulled. I voted for him here in PA and I hate that I unwittingly contributed to MAGA with his actions.

1

WoodyMornings Mar 30, 2026 +1

House Harkonnen will never step down!

1

tapdancinghellspawn Mar 30, 2026 +1

He would only step down if Benjamin Netanyahu asked him to since Fetterman works for Israel and not the people of Pennsylvania.

1

dealingwithhookers Mar 30, 2026 +1

then recall him, idiots. these voters are the most faithless worms there is. you put him in that seat, and instead of doing something about it you just whine and b****?

1

PDXGuy33333 Mar 30, 2026 +1

That really is true. If he is in any way honest he has to respect that the people who elected him no longer desire his services and the people who voted against him are celebrating that he's there. He can simply blame it on his stroke, depression and heart issues. Or maybe he'll just tip over.

1

TimetoTrundle Mar 30, 2026 +1

Living proof that brain damage causes conservatism.

Is there a recall option in your system?

1

Cantankerous_Angel Mar 30, 2026 +1

He represents the entire state, not just the people who voted for him.

That's not how it works, people. Take your elections seriously and choose Connor Lamb next time.

He never did, he's been a plant for years

Lostsailor73 Mar 30, 2026 +2

He'd be a better fit representing 16th century Transylvania.

NYVines Mar 30, 2026 +2

Needs to be audited. His behavior says he’s been bought out.

“Please voluntarily relinquish your power sir!” This is still the best we’ve got. We’re so unbelievably fucked.

2

No_Jello_5922 Mar 30, 2026 +2

It makes me sick that the whole country rallied around him to keep Dr. Oz from becoming Senator of a state he doesn't live in, only for Fetterman to go farther and farther right as he recovered from his stroke.

2

GreyBeardEng Mar 30, 2026 +2

He won't step down, the insider trading is just too damn good.

2

Bae_the_Elf Mar 30, 2026 +1

It's crazy how quick the right wing media have picked up Fetterman as an example of "one of the good" Democrats. I've heard a lot of boomers talk about Fetterman like he's the only "sane" Democrat which is crazy

1

Eagleburgerite Mar 30, 2026 +1

The thing is, he does represent A LOT of Pennsylvanians. Just not many who voted for him nor the party he is currently in.

1

shion005 Mar 30, 2026 +1

According to the [data] (https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/john_fetterman/456877) he solidly votes with Democrats. Dr Oz would have been way worse.

1

SnootSnootBasilisk Mar 30, 2026 +1

The only people he represents are those that bought him
