Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

The original article was stub. Here's the beginning of the article right now.

Sen. John Fetterman was hospitalized in Pittsburgh after a fall during an early morning walk near his home in Braddock, his office said Thursday. A spokesperson said he suffered a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that left him light-headed before he fell and sustained minor facial injuries, and he is staying for observation while doctors adjust his medication.

The full statement from Sen. Fetterman’s spokesperson posted to X:

During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’ He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen. Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.”

There's filler and then they quoted him whining.

Along with his health concerns, Speaking to CNN's Dana Bash on Wednesday, Fetterman said the left have wished for his death on the social media platform Bluesky while the right have called him names. Fetterman said his digital team had found that Bluesky was the "harshest" social media platform. "The difference is, the right would say rough things and some names I won't repeat on TV," he said, "but on the left, it was like they want me to die or that 'we're cheering for your next stroke.'"

He added that left-wing figures also share messages wishing he would die. "That's much different from just calling me a name," he said. "That's really been consistent in that community online."

it was like they want me to die

It wasn't "like".

Technically the circle of candles and large pentagram I carved into my living room floor is not cheering for his stroke. I'm merely doing what I can as instructed by Leftist Divinations.

The funniest thing that could happen is that this flips him again and he somehow goes full communist, and so anti-Zionist he calls for a congressional declaration of war against Israel.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 61 points 3 days ago (2 children)

yes, but realistically he'll come back only being able to say "bomb gaza" (like dexter in the omelette du fromage episode) and this propels him to the presidency.

yeah, by the time he actually becomes president, he is afraid of clocks and absolutely refuses to draw any

Oddly enough the stroke turning him zionist is not a unique phenomenon. A friend who works at a local hospital reports the same thing happened to their department head. Used to be a well-liked extremely empathetic lady, had a stroke, boom turbo-zionist right as the Gaza genocide started kicking off in earnest. Not saying all zionism is due to brain damage but it certainly seems to help!

My friend’s dad had a stroke a while ago. He went from a kind, if weird old man to a total asshole who refuses to stop crashing his SUV into parked cars.

Given the record, I assume he drove himself to the hospital while terrified staffers screamed from the back seat as he faded in and out of consciousness.

I'm getting a lot of use out of this reaction image lately.

How convenient he gets to go to a hospital and have it paid for by me when he just voted against maintaining the pittance that was medicaid and medicare. Piece of shit ghoul fucker.

"John Fetterman could die soon," says rando expert on the net, InevitableSwing

Mr. InevitableSwing also said "As others have indicated - we got the crabs ready to go." At the current time it is unknown what that means because Mr. InevitableSwing merely replied "You got to dig it to dig it, ya dig?"

This ogre shouldn't just fall over and die. A monster like this should be cornered by townsfolk with torches and pitchforks. Or slain by an itinerant knight. Or killed by a precocious child that found him through magic beans.

Judging by precedent, his political beliefs will soon wildly swing. I expect Maoist Fetterman after this incident.

It's not actually that bad. He's just a great big whiner. In a thread I said wished him the shortest hospital stay possible. The libs ignored it. Or maybe they didn't exactly ignore it. Maybe I got a block or a mute or two.

Edit. I got a like. Haha.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 24 points 3 days ago

the good news about fetterman is that he's a wonderful person and has never alienated any of his friends or family that would normally help him during this trying time

Why don't you just die already?
