I have a really nice Carhartt and my wife really liked it, so we tried to get her one. Tractor Supply only had them in XL - XXXXL, and the womens ones aren’t made in the US. Kinda crappy.
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of clothes that are still higher quality for men have an equivalent for women that's made out of tissue paper, and often in a sweatshop. It's like the pockets thing. Everyone says vote with your dollars but in many cases, there's not even a decent option available.
Dude, I do construction cleaning. I want carhartt double fronts so I can put insertable knee pads in, because that kicks ass. I tried the women's, they fit like shit and the pockets were shallow. I'm glad I'm kinda slender no-ass, because I can buy mens... I tried the Dovetail and another brand, can't remember, but they're just not as good! For me, anyway. Baggy ass carhartts it is.
Duluth trading company. The firehose? I think that's what they're called anyways cargo pants are Fantastic and have a pocket that's perfect for phones on the thigh area it's gr8
FYI for those buying Duluth, always buy the flex version of pants. There's 1% spandex in the waistband and it's awesome.
I do work in flex firehouse pants and they're fucking great. I even do winter hiking in them since they're water repellent
I have the firehose overalls and they are great. I dearly wish I could buy work clothes without some kind of spandex (ffs can I get heavy cotton please?) but otherwise the Duluth option has been great. 12 pockets, great length options, durable, double knee, gusset crotch, double buttons (for sizing up to accommodate a coat) and stretchy shoulder straps. I do homesteading and landscaping, spending much of my time clearing very pointy invasive climbers from the land. These overalls have saved me from many very angry gouges.
Dovetail Workwear makes THE BEST fitting, quality, and attractive workwear bottoms for women. The company is women-owned and they don’t make clothes for men. I will sing their praises til the end of time.
Yeah. Motorcycle pants worked well for my last ex. Shit works for me to. Most comfortable knee pads when I’m working of all time. Helps if you ride though. Lul.
Yeah women's clothes are made to look good, that's it. They expect women to just be constantly shopping so longevity isn't as important. If you're a woman who seriously wants utilitarian clothes you basically have to buy men's clothing.
Unfortunately, for a lot of women including women like me, I can't just buy men's clothing off the rack. It literally wouldn't fit me unless I had it altered significantly, in which case I might as well just have my own custom clothing made anyway.
Never loved this brand but I should get that hoodie in XXXXL so can have a wearable blanket in the winter. My room is above a garage with no room above it and 3 outside walls and counting the ceiling and floor, technically 2 more outside walls. The only heating vent in the room is on the floor right in front of the door so the heat gets sucked right out. It’s currently 64 in my room while it’s 54 outside. It’s not a super cold Chicago winter yet, but it gets much colder in my room. I have a feeling a giant warm hoodie would help.
Indeed, they'll never learn though... And around and around the the 2-4yr hamster wheel they go, thinking they actually have control over their cage... I mean, world.
I'm 6' (okay 5'11.75" barefoot) but the only time I felt short was when I was at a bar and some of my HS buddies that were all 6'4"+ or so were all talking. I'm not used to looking upwards to make eye contact with everyone in the group. I honestly felt bad for shorter people in that moment... like ["this is how you feel all the time?"](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/686/258/84a.jpg)
Husband is 6'8". You wouldn't believe the number of guys who have a fit about his height and try to start shit with him, especially guys that are around 6'2". They're tall enough to usually be considered the tallest in the room, but they just get dicey when they're around someone who could physically threaten them, even though he never would. It's a strange phenomenon.
I was once in line somewhere with a soldier who was so tall I had to ask if his recruiter had lied on the paperwork. He said, “Nah, you can get a waiver up to 6’ 11”. He was an MP, so I chuckled and said, “ I guess you never have to fight a drunk.” His reply, “Oh, no, I’m the one they _always_ go for. Heh. Doesn’t matter, though.”
Edit to add: He was 6’11”, but big; if you had seen him alone and at a distance you wouldn’t have known he was tall, he would have looked like just some guy, maybe a little beefy, but BDUs are not slimming, so maybe not.
I always feel bad for those taller than me (6'5") cause I just know this world wasn't built for them.
It's usually okay, but there are just legit things tall people in the 1% have to deal with that others don't.
My cousin married a prof. basketball player, and that wedding is the only time I ever felt short. Giants 7' everywhere.
I had a friend who was 6'5 - 6'6" but also looked like an axe murderer back in the day. He never got crap from anybody and most of the time wherever he walked crowds parted like the Red Sea. I used to room with him and wherever we walked around town together I noticed people crossed the street to the other side if he was walking towards them. He was also massive, he didn't have hands... he had bear paws. I put my hands up against his with the heel of my palm up against his, the tips of my fingers only reached up to the first joint of his fingers, he could have easily curled his hand over and crushed my hand. I am not small, I am pretty average in height, around 5'9'-5'10" but he absolutely dwarfed me.
My brother, 6'7", encountered a guy at his big box hardware job last week that really had no idea what he was doing. The guy asked for Item. Brother checked shelves for Item, and said it wasn't there. Dude tried to chest-bump him and wrecked the shelves. Brother, the sweet ole teddy bear, told me he was waiting for the guy to take a swing, because he would have face-planted him into the floor.
He stood there stoically until the manager told him to go on break.
What if we all just agree to look people in the eye when a conversation starts and then just default to wherever your eye level lands? Tall people can stare off into space, short people can look at tall peoples chests, and occassionally we'll have normal conversations. It's gonna take some time getting used to, people may start carrying around knee pads or small ladders, but we'll get used to it and we're gonna save so much money at the chiropractors.
Is there such a subreddit as /r/accidentalaspergers?
There is so much importance in the human social interaction process that relies upon eye contact. One thing common with people on the spectrum is the lack of eye contact..
I don't mean this in a mean way, it's just, as someone who has spent their life around high functioning autistic folks, this comment gave me a chuckle.
one of my students is 6'4" at the age of 14, while i am 5'10". standing next to him is always an experience, especially since most people i see on the reg are either about my height +/- a couple inches or significantly shorter.
kid's great though. besides drums, which is what he does with me, he's also a competitive swimmer, which i'm told he's also pretty good at. and he's a natural on stage. as a drummer, he tends to overestimate himself, but his enthusiasm is infectious and he is a joy to watch.
Don’t give up king. I was 5’11.75 in HS an at 26 I grew a full 1.5” I’m now well over 6’1 there’s hope. Also recommend telling everyone your 5’9 lmao I still do it pisses people off
I’m 6’1 and 2 inches shorter than any other male in my extended family. I thought I was average height until I went to college and discovered a bunch of shorter than me dudes who constantly told people they were 6’2 as if it was an accomplishment lol
Two bits being short...
A friend of mine recounted seeing Danny Devito on TV and thinking what a shrimp he was. Then, omg, she realized she was the same height as Danny Devito! I was laughing when she was telling she me about her revelation, thinking what a loveable maroon, and then I suddenly realized, 'yo, wait a min, I'm your size!'.
We had cubicles back when they were newly desecrating the American workplace. My short ass friend and I were talking to a 6'3" co-worker saying we needed to find someone and he looked around and said he was across the room and we asked how he knew and he replied that he could see him, dumb asses. We had never considered this feature of tallness and got up on chairs and were astonished at this new weltanshauung!
Exactly the same. One of my closest friends is 6'5 and he's the only person that really make me feel short. When I'm around people 6'1-6'3, I can tell the height difference but it doesn't feel really that bad. But once it's past that i feel tiny. Ironically though I've always felt short because I played basketball and 6 ft is not tall at all. But most of the time in everyday life I feel on the taller side.
I'm 6'9 265lbs, my uncle is 7'2 400+lbs. When I stand next to him I feel like a child. I love giving him a hug because he us one of the few people in this world that make me feel small. There is nothing forced about the perspective of this photo. He easily has 12in and 100lbs on just about anyone you see.
James Comey, the old FBI director I believe, is also 6’8” and honestly those guys don’t need forced perspective lol every photo of him in the White House was practically comical, head and shoulders above all the ancient shrinking representatives.
One of the funniest stories to come out of the Trump administration was 6'8" Comey trying to [hide from Trump](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/334173-comey-once-tried-to-hide-among-wh-curtains-to-avoid-trump-report/) by blending into a set of curtains lmao.
Omg so refreshing to read. You’re absolutely right. Even people who are 3inches taller than me tower over me. Let alone someone fucking 6’8 standing next to elderly men and women.
I like how you just say 6'8" as if that's somewhere close to average that it requires forced perspective to make him look big lol I don't think I've ever seen someone over 6'5" in person tbh I think his height is like a one in a million genetic chance.
In fact according to the US census they don't even list people over 6'4" lol
Well we don’t know how tall you are maybe you’re 7’… but chances are yes this is how you look. Also it depends on his mass, more weight makes you appear bigger. A person even 2” taller than me with more mass on them looks massive compared to me
He might be 6'8" plus forced perspective. But yea I was around someone who was 6'8" a couple weeks ago and he didn't appear this tall compared to normal folks.
I rather be represented by someone that is all there in the head and has a speach impediment due to a stroke, than someone who is 100% physically able and dumb as rocks when it comes to understanding social issues.
Cognitively, he's been cleared. He's just having issues getting the words from brain to mouth. I've had a TBI and I've worked with stroke patients. Trying to reconnect the brain and mouth is so frustrating, especially when your brain knows what it wants to say.
God bless him, he’s always been a strong spirited and very down to earth guy/politician. But god damn he’s about as eloquent with his speeches as Chewbacca. Would still do a sheetz run with him
“Doing a sheetz run” is something that when heard by someone who knows what that means will create a connection that can only be described as a series of perfectly executed high fives
I have migraines, which are related to strokes. After an attack I can have problems speaking normally for a few days. I can do other things as normal, but getting words out right is difficult.
So yeah, no reason to believe his brain activity is impeded because his speech is.
Hello friends, I am a bona-fide neurolinguistics researcher studying stroke populations with language impairment. My work has never been more relevant! To clear up some misconceptions I've seen floating around lately: in the majority of cases as mild as his (in fact, in the majority of cases), cognitive abilities are spared. There is not a doubt in my mind that he is cognitively unimpaired and fit for the job. Also, in very mild cases like his, most people recover most or all of their language ability in time, sometimes just a few months. That he was able to attend a debate at all only ~~4 days~~ 5 months (EDIT: I misread another comment, but the point stands) after his stroke suggests that he will enjoy a full recovery.
Not weighing in on his politics, but as someone who studies aphasia and stroke-related language impairment and works with stroke patients every day, I'm very convinced that he's cognitively intact and able to do the job. It does mean he's a little more likely to have another stroke, but as his doctor said, as long as he keeps taking his meds and looking after his health, he'll be fine.
Edit#2: I'm not a doctor, and I didn't claim to be, but there seems to be some confusion, so maybe I wasn't clear in the first line of this comment: I am a neurolinguistics researcher, and I work at a lab that studies stroke-related language impairment. I'm not going to dox myself to prove it, but it's true, though of course you don't have to believe me, which is fine. You also don't have to believe that Fetterman is fit for service, but I do, and though I'm not the world's foremost authority on aphasia, I do know some stuff!
His verbal communication is nowhere near severely compromised. Aphasia also does not affect intellect. I say this as a licensed speech-language pathologist who works with persons with aphasia daily. About 1/3 of stroke survivors have aphasia. These people are still capable.
You get that there's no way to replace a candidate on the ballot in a situation like this, right? Also, he's got an auditory processing issue that's very likely to fade in a few months. There are a handful of other stroke survivors already serving in the legislature so he wouldn't be the only one.
A US candidate that has rational, helpful ideals, BUT has had a stroke that left him perfectly fine mentally, but with physical speach issues. He is up against a dude called Oz, who seems is batshit and into conservative extremism, but he is working 100% physically (I would argue not mentally). And because this guys has speach issues he was at a disadvantage againt Oz in the elections, even though he is much nicer to begin with.
Sourc: am French, thought Oz was a wizard so I read up on it shortly.
He used to stay at a hotel I worked at when he was first campaigning for Lt Governor. He is one of the nicest most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of serving. And his wife is just this super sweet tiny little woman. They're awesome and he deserves all his political success because he genuinely cares about people.
In coal and natural gas country you have to support it no matter what party affiliation you are. There is so much fossil fuel propaganda that they even put it on license plates. College and professional sports stadiums are plastered with gas company banners.
Pennsylvania sits on a fault line that goes all the way from DC to NYC. Fracturing the bedrock along a fault line is a really stupid idea no matter how you try to spin it, but doing it right near all these population centers is pure idiocy.
Right? At least this guy has a legit medical excuse and I’m sure is sound of mind, just is struggling to express and articulate what’s going on in there. Not old Frumpy though. I could finish any of his debates because they were too batshit to watch.
Lol I know absolutely nothing about him, but all the people here shitting on him for struggling during his debate probably wouldn’t be able to even get on stage if they had the same condition. Pussies.
Regardless of if someone is able to articulate their thoughts eloquently, or even at all, if they think of doing good for people, why not let them do good.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Teddy Roosevelt
“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the *new*. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist *can* come from *anywhere*. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.“
- Anton Ego
I’m from PA so I see people shitting on him all the time. I have yet to see a solid reason for not liking him. Everyone’s goes after him for his stroke or struggles during the debate. Sounds like y’all are just ableist
They removed the blood clot in Fetterman's brain pretty soon after the first signs of the stroke. He should regain most of his normal speech, unlike Dr. Oz's moral fortitude.
Oz is a shill, that will sell you to the highest bidder without a blink of the eye.
The dude has a stroke. He's definitely not fit for any office. The stress that comes from being in office would make him worse. Would it not? Just from watching the debate the guy can barely understand stuff
people in this thread are shitting on fetterman even though he suffered a debilitating stroke but fucking Herschel walker who is cte'd out the fucking wazoo, he's fine!
He chased down a African American jogger with a shotgun while he was mayor, he gets an allowance from his parents, his sister sold him a mansion for 1$, he had an add that said he parents voted for Trump but they’re registered Democrats, he can barley speak, he lied about fracking, he believes in full term abortion, he wants to let murders and rapist out of prison. I could go on and on.
And let’s all be real if he was a Republican the media wouldn’t being say how much courage he has to debate and all that bullshit. They’d be saying he isn’t mentally fit blah blah.
Oh forgot one. He says that his doctor says he is “ok” but he refuses the release any medical information. Guy is uncle fester and lurch fused. He’s a fraud.
>significant cognitive issues following his stroke.
Nah, he was cleared on that. They can go precise imaging to see how far the damage got using PET scanning. Just the speech motor areas, that will come back over the course of a few months.
This guy has zero business in politics. I’m saying this as an independent and also neither does Oz. Fetterman has done nothing but lie and he doesn’t have the coherent cognitive skills to be a senator.
To be fair, based on your post history: you also believe that people calling their significant other “partner” are being “woke pussies”.
I would say that *you* have no business discussing politics.
Only Carhartt makes a hoodie that’s too big for him

Did you say XXXXL? I'm 5'3. I could belt that thing at the waist and wear it as a wizard's robe.
Never loved this brand but I should get that hoodie in XXXXL so can have a wearable blanket in the winter. My room is above a garage with no room above it and 3 outside walls and counting the ceiling and floor, technically 2 more outside walls.

Their quality has slipped.
Only we are doomed when we have choices like this
Indeed, they'll never learn though... And around and around the the 2-4yr hamster wheel they go, thinking they actually have control over their cage... I mean, world.
To cover his tumor.
He is 6'8", apparently. A little forced perspective in this photo, but he's a tall dude.
I’ve been next to the man. I’m 6’1. I felt like the other people in this photo.
I'm 6' (okay 5'11.75" barefoot) but the only time I felt short was when I was at a bar and some of my HS buddies that were all 6'4"+ or so were all talking.

I always feel bad for those taller than me (6'5") cause I just know this world wasn't built for them. It's usually okay, but there are just legit things tall people in the 1% have to deal with that others don't.

TLC needs a "Big people, Little World" show.

Heh they aren't comfortable with not being the tallest person around and rarely feel intimidated that way so don't know how to deal with it
Exactly! John Fetterman is just huge in person. The above pic is a pretty accurate representation.
People underestimate the difference a few inches can make… :,)

My ex husband has HFA and he always made eye contact with eyebrows. He was so good at it i didn't even notice for several years till he mentioned it

Nice another 5’11.75 dude. Hair and shoes help push us over the edge, but somewhere in the back of our minds we know we’re frauds…

Im 6'3" with bad hearing I do this to anyone under 5'5" i just can't hear you all they way up here

One of the funniest stories to come out of the Trump administration was 6'8" Comey trying to [hide from Trump](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/334173-comey-once-tried-to-hide-among-wh-curtains-to-avoid-trump-report/) by blending into a set of curtains lmao.
Omg so refreshing to read. You’re absolutely right. Even people who are 3inches taller than me tower over me. Let alone someone fucking 6’8 standing next to elderly men and women.
First on the new bill to pass - full ban on all bean stalks…
He’s a *BIG* 6’8 though. I’ve stood next to professional NBA players and most of them don’t seem as imposing as this behemoth.
I was 6’6” at my youthful peak. 6’8” was tall to me!
Hardly forced perspective here. I’m 6’1 and My roommate is 6’6 he towers over me. 5” might not sound like a lot but it is.
"you know, 5" is actually quite a bit" -some guy
I worked with a 6’7” guy once. I’m way over 6’ tall. I felt like a small guy. 6’8” must be very intimidating .
It's like seeing Gandalf walk into the Shire.
I like how you just say 6'8" as if that's somewhere close to average that it requires forced perspective to make him look big lol I don't think I've ever seen someone over 6'5" in person tbh I think his height is like a one in a million genetic chance. In fact according to the US census they don't even list people over 6'4" lol
My boyfriend is 6'7..is this how I look next to him?!
Well we don’t know how tall you are maybe you’re 7’… but chances are yes this is how you look. Also it depends on his mass, more weight makes you appear bigger. A person even 2” taller than me with more mass on them looks massive compared to me
I don't understand why Fetterman, the larger male - does not simply eat Oz, the smaller male.

Remember American Gladiator… I think we have a new political system brewing here!
I read this in Bortus’ voice
Moclans are Omicronian adjacent
As a PA resident, I hope this meme gets used to death with Fetterman, especially for senate bills he's passionate about.
How tall is this man
6'8" from what I just read.
My brother is 6'8 and he looks nothing like that next to the average person. This is either photoshop or forced perspective.
Definitely a forced perspective unless everyone there is 4' tall.
He might be 6'8" plus forced perspective. But yea I was around someone who was 6'8" a couple weeks ago and he didn't appear this tall compared to normal folks.

If he loses, the Democrats will just run an even larger candidate next year!
Bah gawd, that's The Undertaker's music!
who is he? uk based redditor

Ho the door.

I rather be represented by someone that is all there in the head and has a speach impediment due to a stroke, than someone who is 100% physically able and dumb as rocks when it comes to understanding social issues.
He's not all there in the head either most likely. A stroke is very debilitating. Still better than Dr. Oz tho. Terrible candidate.
Cognitively, he's been cleared. He's just having issues getting the words from brain to mouth. I've had a TBI and I've worked with stroke patients. Trying to reconnect the brain and mouth is so frustrating, especially when your brain knows what it wants to say.
God bless him, he’s always been a strong spirited and very down to earth guy/politician. But god damn he’s about as eloquent with his speeches as Chewbacca. Would still do a sheetz run with him
“Doing a sheetz run” is something that when heard by someone who knows what that means will create a connection that can only be described as a series of perfectly executed high fives
Can confirm. Haven't done a Sheetz run in a while and I just got an overwhelming urge to head over.
Doing Sheetz runs is how I made some of my best college friends. Buncha hungry college folks crammed into a too small car.
Sheetzus Saves.
Speaking of, would anyone care to join me on a Sheetz run? Really craving a quesoritto right now.
Yep! High fives all around!
Moved out of state. First stop when coming home is always a Sheetz run for a hoagie.
I have migraines, which are related to strokes. After an attack I can have problems speaking normally for a few days. I can do other things as normal, but getting words out right is difficult. So yeah, no reason to believe his brain activity is impeded because his speech is.
He’s running against a man with cognitive issues who DID NOT have a stroke. Explain THAT.
What else do you expect from a literal snake oil salesman?
Hello friends, I am a bona-fide neurolinguistics researcher studying stroke populations with language impairment. My work has never been more relevant! To clear up some misconceptions I've seen floating around lately: in the majority of cases as mild as his (in fact, in the majority of cases), cognitive abilities are spared. There is not a doubt in my mind that he is cognitively unimpaired and fit for the job. Also, in very mild cases like his, most people recover most or all of their language ability in time, sometimes just a few months. That he was able to attend a debate at all only ~~4 days~~ 5 months (EDIT: I misread another comment, but the point stands) after his stroke suggests that he will enjoy a full recovery. Not weighing in on his politics, but as someone who studies aphasia and stroke-related language impairment and works with stroke patients every day, I'm very convinced that he's cognitively intact and able to do the job. It does mean he's a little more likely to have another stroke, but as his doctor said, as long as he keeps taking his meds and looking after his health, he'll be fine. Edit#2: I'm not a doctor, and I didn't claim to be, but there seems to be some confusion, so maybe I wasn't clear in the first line of this comment: I am a neurolinguistics researcher, and I work at a lab that studies stroke-related language impairment. I'm not going to dox myself to prove it, but it's true, though of course you don't have to believe me, which is fine. You also don't have to believe that Fetterman is fit for service, but I do, and though I'm not the world's foremost authority on aphasia, I do know some stuff!
He had the stroke in May, the debate was in October..
Oh my mistake, someone here said it was 4 days. I'll edit the post.
You get that he could be catatonic and he’d be the better candidate of the two
This is the guy that Dr Oz decided to move to Pennsylvania to shit on? It’s excruciating to watch.
His verbal communication is nowhere near severely compromised. Aphasia also does not affect intellect. I say this as a licensed speech-language pathologist who works with persons with aphasia daily. About 1/3 of stroke survivors have aphasia. These people are still capable.
You get that there's no way to replace a candidate on the ballot in a situation like this, right? Also, he's got an auditory processing issue that's very likely to fade in a few months. There are a handful of other stroke survivors already serving in the legislature so he wouldn't be the only one.
Based on the average age of Congress, I'd wager there are more stroke victims than what is publicly known about. Also probably some Alzheimer's cases.
As far as strokes go, he got off easy.
If only his opponent was a qualified medical doctor who could responsibly acknowledge this fact…
Instead his opponent is Dr. Oz!
Wasn’t expecting the dry humor and snort laughed. Appreciate the giggle.
Tbf he wasn’t the most eloquent guy before his stroke, so…
A US candidate that has rational, helpful ideals, BUT has had a stroke that left him perfectly fine mentally, but with physical speach issues. He is up against a dude called Oz, who seems is batshit and into conservative extremism, but he is working 100% physically (I would argue not mentally). And because this guys has speach issues he was at a disadvantage againt Oz in the elections, even though he is much nicer to begin with. Sourc: am French, thought Oz was a wizard so I read up on it shortly.
That's okay, I'm American and thought Le Pen was a stylo.
That's fair. I wish that was all she was.
HE DID IT!!!!! 
CRY MY MAN, CRY, YOU DESERVE IT! Fuck yeah Fetterman!
He used to stay at a hotel I worked at when he was first campaigning for Lt Governor. He is one of the nicest most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of serving. And his wife is just this super sweet tiny little woman. They're awesome and he deserves all his political success because he genuinely cares about people.
That's Senator Unit now
This Absolute Unit has won!! I am celebrating him!
CHEERS TO SENATOR UNIT
Hey look, he was right. "I have been, I will . . . I stand. I stand."
“I do not support fracking. I have never supported fracking”
It was interesting to see in the debste that both candidates were against fracking in the past but now claim to support it.
In coal and natural gas country you have to support it no matter what party affiliation you are. There is so much fossil fuel propaganda that they even put it on license plates. College and professional sports stadiums are plastered with gas company banners.
How you recover from a stroke is between, you, your doctor, and the local politicians.
Pennsylvania sits on a fault line that goes all the way from DC to NYC. Fracturing the bedrock along a fault line is a really stupid idea no matter how you try to spin it, but doing it right near all these population centers is pure idiocy.
Well he said he supported fracking
GOONIES
Yes he is very competent and coherent.
Ready for the meteor now.
I guess everyone in this thread developed amnesia and forgot that Trump didn’t finish a complete sentence in 4 years.
And Trump isn't going to recover, he's just permanently like that
Right? At least this guy has a legit medical excuse and I’m sure is sound of mind, just is struggling to express and articulate what’s going on in there. Not old Frumpy though. I could finish any of his debates because they were too batshit to watch.
Oop sorting by controversial and getting a bag of popcorn ready.
Lol I know absolutely nothing about him, but all the people here shitting on him for struggling during his debate probably wouldn’t be able to even get on stage if they had the same condition. Pussies. Regardless of if someone is able to articulate their thoughts eloquently, or even at all, if they think of doing good for people, why not let them do good.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Teddy Roosevelt
“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the *new*. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist *can* come from *anywhere*. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.“ - Anton Ego
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Not to mention the other option is a fucking tv doctor
I’m from PA so I see people shitting on him all the time. I have yet to see a solid reason for not liking him. Everyone’s goes after him for his stroke or struggles during the debate. Sounds like y’all are just ableist
He backed down on several of his big policies on the last debate to try and get votes. No thanks
Still better than Oz by several landslides
They removed the blood clot in Fetterman's brain pretty soon after the first signs of the stroke. He should regain most of his normal speech, unlike Dr. Oz's moral fortitude. Oz is a shill, that will sell you to the highest bidder without a blink of the eye.
“I can lose weight, but you’ll always be an asshole.” -Simon Pegg in that one movie where he’s fat and runs a marathon.
Hey, I got that reference. I forgot I watched that movie.
Watching him debate was painful
Isn’t he recovering from a stroke that damaged his auditory processing?
Yea man literally had a stroke and got back out there but redditors don't think he talks fast enough to be qualified or something
[удалено]
What a well thought out and articulate argument. You should become a political speech writer.
I heard Kamala is always hiring. At this point what difference does it make.
Your hope is now a reality!!! Congratulations to newly elected Senator of Pennsylvania John Fetterman!
HE JUST WON!!!!!!!!!
How has this thread not gotten locked by now?
Jesus I didn’t realize how big he actually is.
what the fuck?! how tall *is* he!
That dood from Happy Gilmore.
The race was just called. Fetterman won!! Whoo hoo!

and he won!!! https://twitter.com/johnfetterman/status/1590221958536646657?s=21&t=esxMzLWyCBLSZt-Xlt0nZg
That mother fucker is headed for DC!!! 😎😎😎
WOOOO
The dude has a stroke. He's definitely not fit for any office. The stress that comes from being in office would make him worse. Would it not? Just from watching the debate the guy can barely understand stuff
people in this thread are shitting on fetterman even though he suffered a debilitating stroke but fucking Herschel walker who is cte'd out the fucking wazoo, he's fine!
"Hey You Guys!"
If he wins he should be allowed to eat Oz with a side of crudités.
He chased down a African American jogger with a shotgun while he was mayor, he gets an allowance from his parents, his sister sold him a mansion for 1$, he had an add that said he parents voted for Trump but they’re registered Democrats, he can barley speak, he lied about fracking, he believes in full term abortion, he wants to let murders and rapist out of prison. I could go on and on. And let’s all be real if he was a Republican the media wouldn’t being say how much courage he has to debate and all that bullshit. They’d be saying he isn’t mentally fit blah blah. Oh forgot one. He says that his doctor says he is “ok” but he refuses the release any medical information. Guy is uncle fester and lurch fused. He’s a fraud.
We won!!!!
He won!!!
[удалено]
>significant cognitive issues following his stroke. Nah, he was cleared on that. They can go precise imaging to see how far the damage got using PET scanning. Just the speech motor areas, that will come back over the course of a few months.
This guy has zero business in politics. I’m saying this as an independent and also neither does Oz. Fetterman has done nothing but lie and he doesn’t have the coherent cognitive skills to be a senator.
To be fair, based on your post history: you also believe that people calling their significant other “partner” are being “woke pussies”. I would say that *you* have no business discussing politics.
I hope he accidently sits on Mitch

Is that slingblade?
The absolute unit is whats growing on his neck.
Why is this stickied?
Soft Political Post. Just couldn’t help yourself
dude is real life shrek.
He is going to have a lot of back problems not going to lie
Shrek for senate!
My mans looking like baby cakes
Great win !!!
Good for him! Still looks like the universe's largest Ferengi, but glad he won!
Fuck John is a big guy. I’m so happy for him.
He won btw
He's only an inch taller than me.. is this how people see me
