I had a stroke patient who lost all ability to communicate and move, but who was otherwise cognitively pretty intact. The nursing home had a two month turnover so the staff constantly changed with very little training, and the notes on the nursing software didn't mention any of her preferences so the new staff would have to relearn everything by trial and error.

This patient could only communicate by becoming increasingly frustrated until she cried, and then she'd be inconsolable for hours. It was a perfect hell where she was totally dependent on others for every single thing and yet could never get the help she needed consistently.

I want that for John Fetterman. Stroke #2, you lock him in and throw away the key. I want him to have no mouth and an endless need to scream.

While I know probably a lot of terrible people get fucked over in such a way, I feel like most of my experiences involve relatively nice people just sorta fucked by a terrible set of circumstances.

Like when I still worked in a hospital setting, we had the sweetest woman with ALS, she brightened everyone's day in just interacting with her despite her disease being super advanced and being dependent. The entire unit got depressed when we found out she died a few weeks later in the ICU. Also had a poor woman with a giant Kennedy ulcer that developed that for weeks just held on and also got revived by her defibrillator, despite being in agony almost all the time.

If there was a truly just and good God, monsters like Fetterman would be the ones locked in their bodies stuck in a terrible nursing home where they spend half the day sitting in their own shit until their skin dissolves leaving a giant pressure injury in its wake.

Totes normal human behavior.

Why are all these blue-check npc "i am really starting to like this guy"?

He's a turboliberal zionist with the aesthetics of cartoon caricature of working class men. He's very valuable to them.

John Fetterman standing on a rooftop... picard-excited

Waving an Israeli flag at protesters... picard

Fun fact: Congressional representatives can't be recalled.

The larger the son, the harder the fall.

Comrade ice, we just needed one small slip and fall. You've failed us isaac-cry

We held an emergency meeting of the Large Adult Son Council last night, and we have revoked Fetterman's membership.

Well. At least he's not boring.

I did not see the war between Oprah's psychic assassins and the Jolly Green Giant going this way.

but with the israeli flag

Seriously, what the fuck is this guy's backstory that made him this way? First he's a political outsider who manages to win a senate election on a squad adjacent platform, and now he's raving mad standing on buildings to demonstrate his unparalleled, unconditional support of Israel and the genocide they are presiding over?

I have never seen a politician this genuinely, deeply, personally, emotionally, and publicly invested into any matter of policy at all. His brain must seriously be swiss cheese right about now between the stroke and the worms.

“The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper ‘gUhhhhaaOoHhh’ because I’ve had another stroke”
