"Putting Fetterman on a debate stage is like putting Stevie Wonder in a stock car" - Best line ever.

Watching the debate, I couldn't help but think that this would be like Gabby Gifford's husband insisting that she get out on the campaign trail after being shot in the head. Fetterman is suffering a form of brain damage and it is absolutely pathetic that the PA dems would think that he is a better candidate than Conor Lamb. It's an insult to the people of PA to shove him out there as a serious candidate. Like Biden's family, Fetterman's family should be charged with abuse for using him for their own ends.

Lemme see if I got this right: Fetterman STANDING UP for an hour is proof he's a fighter and deserving of being in the senate? Is that right?

I think the affect of this "Debate" will be to assuage the undecided that sending Braindamagedman to the Senate is a bad idea. In that way it moves the needle to the least-worst candidate, Dr. Oz. It won't convince hard core D's to stop supporting him, because they support "the brand" (as the kids say these days) and they know that he's just a stand-in for his wife, who is the real candidate. What really matters to them is keeping control of the senate. Pure power politics. See, I can't do that. I can't be so machiavellian as to just "vote blue no matter how brain damaged because we know best." I can't do that. Some on the right, they do that, but so many on the left seem OK with it. But, then you wonder "how did we get Trump?" Because you voted who you were told to vote for and you didn't ask questions in the process. That's how you get Trump, or a Trumpian type.

And don't lecture me about being "Ableist," or about how I'm an ista/phobe who "isn't comfortable with the disabled." I won't cede that ground to any shrieking Hadrian. My brother-in-law is disabled, he has had mental disabilities his whole life. As a 55 year old man, he spends his whole day playing video games or watching TV. Yes, his parents didn't get him the resources he should have had, there is no denying that. Now, tho, it's too late. But I wouldn't vote for him for any thing; not for the Senate, or a county commissioner or even executive vice-assistant to the deputy dog-catcher. That has nothing to do with my "comfort" around the disabled, he just does not have the skills to match his clothes, or decide if it's too cold to wear just a t-shirt, let alone exert any level of authority on anything. Uncle Festerman is in the same category.

Why did Bidet get a booster? He just had the Rona. If I get the flu, I ain't getting a flu shot a month later. That makes shit for sense. Unless you like needles or that shot had nothing but sugar in it, I don't buy it. Also, I won't be lectured about Covid. Nope, nope, nope. Take that, and shove up yer clacker. I won't be lectured to about covid boosters any more than when it was just the flu shot. If I get it, I get it. And I won't be getting the flu shot or the boosters. My body, my choice, bitches.

KJP: "You're gonna get this shot..." Oh, is that a fact? Again, how about you don't tell me what to do and I'll just go on ignoring you and everyone else? Sound fair? I think so.

All I needed to know about Rishi Sinuk (and if I spelt that wrong, I don't give a shit) I learned from the highly underrated Russell Brand. I beg you to find his video from yesterday about this stuffed suit, potted plant of a WEF mole. It is very eye-opening. Especially his fake news story about him filling up his car and getting some soda and candy. Totally normal shit, you know. But he borrowed the car from someone, so he wouldn't be on camera filling up his Jag. That is totally not normal. Oh, and his wife/spouse/life partner has residency on some tax shelter island so they avoid paying any taxes. Must be nice.

Must. Be. Nice.

I did not watch the Fetterman debate as I'm not a Pennsylvania voter. I assumed it would go as it appears to have gone. That being said, I agree that we need to wait and see if this moves the actual needle. After all, they don't get the nickname "yellow dog" democrat because they are discerning of who is on the ticket.

Another point, this close to Election Day it seems we are seeing a few very big blunders by the machine left. Putting Fetterman on the stage was dumb but so was pulling Hillary out of the attic so she could deny the legitimacy of a future election all while election denying is currently being used as an attack on the GOP. These type of mistakes seem to indicate disarray is building in the Dem party.

As the wife of a recovering stroke patient, I find watching the Fetterman situation painful and shameful.

We are 12 years post stroke and are still dealing with issues - super grateful for the tremendous progress- but recovery is life long.

Fetterman is five months and his distress looks just this side of debilitating. Just because he can stay vertical for a period of time does not make him ready to face the world - quite literally.

His wife is a monster for encouraging this public display and it speaks loudly to her own evil ambitions and her manipulation of a terribly compromised human.

From what I am seeing in his interviews and what is being shown on TV, this is a fragile man. Most Doctors will tell you that it’s not the first stroke that kills you, it’s the second or third. If she keeps pushing this look for that catastrophic event sooner rather than later.

And I’ll double down on this for Dr. Jill. She should be jailed.

I stopped reading the Jack Reacher books a few years ago when i had to wait for the next one to come out because I was reading them faster than they were being written.

Also I swear, the frigging Tom Cruise movie just destroyed the image. How do you cast a pygmie when the character is described as a guy that people cross the street to avoid?

I just want to say two words. "Good night everybody!"

"The lines are canned, but he can't read the labels," is exceptional.

So is the Stevie Wonder line.

I did watch the debate online. Uncle Festerman was just dreadful, even yelling and interrupting Doc Oz's closing statement. I was impressed that he didn't put Fetterman down. I would have leveled him. I would have been wrong. We're already getting this "ableist" claptrap. This isn't a disability. He's hurt. He can't think or speak clearly. I wonder if the Dems did it on purpose. Like putting a severe stutterer in customer relations (instead of having him stack shelves). Just to tick you off.

I also watched the hatchet-faced Whitmer debate Dixon. Michigan may be a pickup.

I live in Indiana now, and I've been enjoying Aboriginal Fourth-Wave Conquering Native American Third Season Anomaly myself. Darn near had to turn on the A/C last week.

Jim, even when you "cleaned up" his responses they were pretty bad. And what little I saw of Oz I thought showed a pretty good balance between attacking policies while leaving Fetterman alone. Hardly the whiny "How am I not winning by 50 points?" from Shrillary.

And the betting polls show a huge swing to Oz. I think that will only be partly reflected in the vote, but it will probably be enough.

And the whole thing about Oz speaking quickly. That is incredibly frequent in debates with actual time-limited responses as candidates strive to get as much content in the time allowed as they can.

Have you ever noticed how much young Hillary resembles Patty McCormack from "The Bad Seed"?
