I merely hope he's left needing to retire with minimal suffering

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 5 points 6 days ago

This motherfucker sold out your country to fascists. He can suffer as much as needed.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 240 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The guy who voted for not extending healthcare subsidies to the most desperate Americans?

Hope it hurt.

Socialist, government-funded health care*

Unfortunately it was on his face, so his thick fucking skull broke his fall.

[–] cogitase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 151 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It would be of great scientific value if we could study how Fetterman shifts further rightward with incremental increases in brain damage.

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 91 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The CTE to right wing pipeline

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe that's a reason why football is so popular

Maybe he's operating on Fred Flintstone rules and this time he'll come around thinking he's a racecar driver instead.

Maybe if we hit him hard enough he’ll loop back around, like Gandhi in that civ game but reversed.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 108 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Had a friend that got blasted with a glass beer bottle. Brian damage and long stay in the hospital but he lived.

When he came back, he was 100% a different person. Abandoned his family, started talking to overseas women, gambling, and many other self destructive activities.

Before? Dude was a stand up guy. Worked hard and was a great family man. Sad that Fettermen basically suffered the same fate, but he needs to go.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I do find it somewhat funny that after suffering severe brain damage, Republican ideals became appealing to him. It says a lot about the rest of the group.

[–] ganryuu@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

To follow up on this, I never heard about someone switching to leftist ideals after brain damage, always to the right.

Like, smashed over the head with a beer bottle? Holy fuck. They really should not have started such a cliché for that in bar fights in movies, I feel like some people think it'll break like the movies and you'll just "hurt the guy a little" not fucking kill them, or give them permanent brain damage.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think it just comes naturally for people to use things shaped like a club to hit people when they're so inclined.

I remember a guy that always did stupid shit when he was drunk. One of his "party tricks" was to bite off pieces of beer glasses. One night he emptied a bottle of beer and just smashed it over his head, probably expecting it to shatter. It made a pretty anti climactic bonk sound and it knocked him out cold, hitting a barstool on the way down.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Right. This happened to him in the bathroom and the guy was looking to steal his wallet. Sad thing was, my friend didn't even press charges. Just so was fucked up. He didn't even care. His family was devastated. Amazing what some people will do and the outcomes they create.

That sounds like one of the worst things I can imagine, becoming a terrible person and actively making other peoples' lives worse. It's really sad to know that your friend would have been horrified of what he became.

If only Fetterman had an excuse like that. He was always a shit person. Just less shit than Mehmet Oz.

Maybe he’ll wake up as a democrat this time

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sadly the more brain damage you have, the more likely you are to be a Republicunt.

Nonfatal? ...fucker is just one disappointment after another.

The reaper is feeding the machine but the claw is too weak.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 57 points 1 week ago (1 children)

good thing he had good affordable healthcare, unlike everyone in the USA whom he fucked over

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

What? This won't financial ruin him?

Fuckers

I want my vote back dickhead.

He'll get real healthcare though, unlike many of his constituents.

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 34 points 1 week ago

Maybe it’ll jog his brain away from being a conservative cuck

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Didn't know that you could fall over guilt.

Hard to care about him. He gets one close call with death and becomes a worse person. Whereas most people who experience something like that become a better person.

hopefully, he falls into a fucking grave soon

[–] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

I still can't get over how much brain damage turns someone conservative.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

At least he doesn't have to worry about his healthcare premiums

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He already voted to reopen the government while supporting a plan to fuck over the average citizen. Why should we care about this fascist fuck?

Speedy recovery to the floor.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 1 week ago

Fetterman was always a piece of shit.

So, what's everyone having for dinner?
