    Obviously his health is the first thing. Hope he gets better.
    But it is now a legit question on whether he can serve out his term, this is his second hospital admission already and he’s only been in office 2 months.

    I'm glad he's getting help. If this shines a light on mental illness and destigmatizes it to some degree, that's even better.

    Hopefully, he will be fine. When you Google famous people who suffer(ed) from depression, the list is pretty amazing....The Rock, Lady Gaga, Harrison Ford, Abraham Lincoln, John Quincey Adams and Mike Wallace to name just a few.

    I hope he's getting the support and care he needs. If stepping down temporarily or getting additional help is what he needs, then that should be the focus. Politics aside, his health comes first. Conversely, for anyone struggling with addiction or mental health issues themselves, finding support can be crucial. So, if anyone reading this is looking for help or knows someone who might benefit, consider looking into resources like the AA meeting hotline. They offer a supportive community and valuable resources for people like us.

    Man, he was my write-in for potus in Nov24. Probably will still do it.

    Praying for a quick recovery.

    He checked in for depression about 14 months ago. Did something new just pop up?

    No. It was a spambot that brought the thread back up.

    Fortunately, he's found mental solace in tweeting in support of genocide and getting all his staffers to quit

    At least he saved us and the state of PA from the catastrophe that would have been Dr. Oz.

    The irony is Fetterman has been a staunch supporter of Israel in the war against Hamas/Gazans, and a spam bot named “Fatimah” which was the name of a daughter of Mohammed, is expressing concern about Fettermans health.
