Yes. I'm embarrassed you're from Pennsylvania, too.

Maybe next time don't pick an out of state shill because some imbecile in a suit picked him out.

Yeah tell me about it. The options were awful

Really? From Washpa?

The article was about how he made friends, sponsored legislation, cast his first vote, dealt with the fallout from his stroke, and avoided some reporters questions.

Hardly... strange for a freshman senator.

That was pretty cute honestly.

One piece of advice. Put your phone down once in a while. U make a post like every 10 minutes it’s crazy. That’s actually a real life thing that should embarrass you.

>Having reporters jot down their questions, either on paper or via a notepad app, and then holding it so Fetterman can read it himself, is also on the table, as is pulling reporters into less crowded or somewhat quieter locations to help cut out confusion. 

This makes me so happy to see! Very simple accommodations that mean he can fully participate instead of having to limit himself

One of the ways my (this is not everyone's experience) ADHD expresses is having difficulty with audio and background noises being jumbled together, it's hard to filter out the sounds I don't want to hear from the things I need to hear. My medicine helps, however, I can't medicate 24/7

Senator Fetterman needs to go to a cutter (shoutout to the outfit!) and get a suit that better fits his body.

His facial expressions are great, I hope his time in the US Senate doesn't blunt his personality (no pun intended)

The picture of him beaming while showing off a hoodie from the Vermont Senator is perfect because it's so on brand for him, I just have to laugh

Why?

Move

U do know that it records all our comments and posts right. And your the only one who seems angry and annoyed. Peace out ✌️

It isn’t too bad. I was expecting the pants legs to show 3-4” of ankle and the jacket sleeves to be the same lol.

I remember seeing pictures of Obama in different meetings and with different advisors and you could almost see the low key distain on his face for the people around him. Yeah John is just wearing that shit in the open lol.

I hope so too. We’ve seen DC change people over years I have my fingers crossed with John.

Why?

Exactly what people from Georgia, Colorado, Texas and Florida are thinking but for different reasons. MTG, Bobo, Abbott and Cruz, and we certainly can’t forget Desantis.

Yeah we are all pretty embarassed you live here too

It's because he has auditory processing disorder due to his stroke. APD can also co-occur with ADHD. People can be screened for APD by a speech-language pathologist and formally diagnosed by an audiologist and get treatment.

Same. And it’s stressful being in situations where I don’t want to mishear and inadvertently answer incorrectly, which in turn makes my auditory processing and working memory issues even worse. I hope these sort of accommodations become more widely used because I don’t think the average person realizes how many people would benefit.

Time to move to Florida so you can fanboy DeSantis!

So are you a fan when MTG and Boboert do it?

What standing there looking displeased for one frame? No I’m more concerned with their constant misinformation, insane ranting and raving on the house floor or heckling someone when they are telling a story about their son dying from cancer.

This is great, and how things should be. Politicians supporting and working together, excited to work FOR THE PEOPLE who elected them.

The poorly fitting suit is kind of on-brand for him though. He’s just not a suit guy. It doesn’t surprise me that he couldn’t care less whether or not it’s perfectly tailored. There are other things he cares about more than being a perfectly coifed fashion-forward pretty boy.

You do know the people he’s surrounded by in that photo are his family, right? Are you saying his expression indicates “low key disdain” for them?

Omg you people today yes I know that is his family Jesus. I thought it was pretty clear I meant the cretins in DC. I think I done with Reddit for the day.

> Look at all the pride for a man who can’t form a sentence.

Never stopped y'all praising a giant carrot, shockingly.

Yay more politicians doing politician things that will likely just disappoint us. This comment is non-partisan.

The man does not know how to stop looking like your disappointed father.

Yes, he did, but he should do it just for himself. It's amazing how much a good, well-fit, suit can boost your self-esteem.

Source: I once weighed 310 pounds. At the age of 50+ I got down to 190 my daughter took me to a tailor and helped me pick out the fabrics for my first-ever-bespoke suit.

I looked fucking amazing.

Reddit doesn't do humor well.

And, yes, I agree with you. I voted for John Fetterman because I like his positions and, as a bonus, he looks like half the men in my family... but part of that is his permanent look of annoyance. 🤣

I voted for him too. He’s the only politician or candidate I ever donated to. Not only are his positions good but I feel he actually believes in them and will fight for them. I knew people in PA would like his “look” too. If “Pennsylvania Man” was a thing it would be John. It good to know one of the most progressive guys in congress is from here.

Same here with the ADHD. After about 5pm, I can no longer understand what’s being said to me. If the TV and my husband are both speaking, their sentences blend together into one. Sometimes the things people say will blend with my own internal monologue. It ends up like word salad. I often reply, “I heard you speaking to me, but I didn’t understand what you said.” It pusses my family off to an extreme extent. I’m fine in the morning though. Lol.

As someone with an audio processing disorder that can make communication kind of spicy sometimes, I am thrilled to be represented by Fetterman.

I think he has lost some weight right? And that is the cause of the oversized suits.

He has long worn baggy clothes. Does not like the "skinny" or tight look. Wants to be able to move around without popping the seams.

You still butthurt about Obama keeping the bitter twitter quitter on the sidelines?

Cope.

Same as trump

Lots of room to improve without going skinny

"The best words"

I have adhd, have my whole life but have managed to get by without medication because the side effects for me are not good. I tell people I have hearing damage sometimes because of how much trouble I have in situations like this

As mother to a 6 ' 8.75" tall son, finding clothes that fit "better" is a gargantuan task. You wouldn't believe how short the sleeves can be on a tall size dress shirt. I guess they figure they won't show under the sport coat, so they'll just save a little fabric!

I'm pretty sure that's not something that keeps John up at night.

The Donald needs the extra room for his soggy Depends.

Omg my wife can’t stand it! If I don’t make her repeat herself 3 times, I mishear. Hard to tell jokes with me

Good one

I take from this article he’s committed to doing the work - albeit in his current capacity may be limited to voting on bills and talking with other politicians. I couldn’t give one singular fuck if he ever answers a reporters question directly. He could start a new normal of politicians answering the week’s pressing questions on a YouTube channel…

So now he has a built in excuse to suck. How and why did he get elected. Sad.

because he ran a great campaign against a quack from Jersey?

[removed]

Cry more; move to Jersey with Mehmet and give him a big, wet kiss.

People think I'm rude or uninterested when I look down or keep my head down in classrooms or to speakers in meetings, I'm actually trying to focus on what I'm listening to. By removing visual overload.
