There is no doubt in my mind, Trump's administration anticipated this. What the losers in DC don't understand is, he will drop a bomb on them when they least expect it. Like maybe James O'Keefe's coming expose'?

Right now he has his hands full with replacing really poor staffing picks...
Like National Security Advisor, Surgeon General, and I think they'll be one or two more this week
Trump is and has always been his own worst enemy when it comes to staffing picks. he rely's on people the opposition inserts just for that reason. They know he'll go along with many of them.
Susie Walls is the biggest snake in the Administration and nobody is talking about it.
Unless O'Keefe has the goods on about 1/2 of the Congress, and we find an actual Judge who has balls and isnt corrupt, nothing is going to change with Congress that they don't allow.
The stranglehold the corrupt Republican Congress on the country has is light years beyond that of the corrupt Judiciary.

Evolution of false click-bait headlines by conservative media:
1. Zerohedge publishes story titled Fetterman Ex-Chief Of Staff Sounded Mental Health Alarm To Senator's Doctor
Fetterman Ex-Chief Of Staff Sounded Mental Health Alarm To Senator's Doctor | ZeroHedge
2. Story contains line saying “I’m worried that if John stays on his current trajectory he won’t be with us for much longer,”
3. Other outlet republishes with headline "Fetterman Ex-Chief Of Staff Told Senator’s Doctor “He Won’t Be With Us For Much longer”"
Fetterman Ex-Chief Of Staff Told Senator’s Doctor “He Won’t Be With Us For Much longer”
And neither headline gives a hint that this all happened a year before these articles were published.

The ZH article actually starts with this
Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman's former chief of staff was so alarmed by his mental health last year that he sounded an alarm with the Walter Reed doctor who treated him during his lengthy in-patient stay for severe depression in 2023. Former aides who are in contact with Fetterman's shrinking inner circle say his behavior continues to cause periodic concern about his danger to himself and those around him.
“I’m worried that if John stays on his current trajectory he won’t be with us for much longer,”wrote Adam Jentleson in his 2024 email to Dr. David Williamson, neuropsychiatry chief at Walter Reed. Jentleson sent the email in May, weeks after he resigned from Fetterman's staff.
Then quotes the recent New York Mag article from a few days ago?…
The references events 30 and 60 days ago that I hadn’t heard…
In February, Fetterman was recorded being uncooperative with a pilot directing the overweight senator to either adhere to FAA rules requiring that one's fastened seatbelt is visible, or get off the plane:
Sources describe tension between Fetterman and his wife. "In March, Fetterman suddenly took an early-morning trip to Hartford, Connecticut, without telling his team why — leaving them at a loss for what to tell Gisele when she demanded to know why he was missing one of their kids’ birthdays," according to New York. Fetterman disputed the account, explaining he was visiting a grad-school friend's grave and claiming that his family and aides knew about it
And it goes into detail with cited quotes and issues going back to 24,23, and 21
I’m not seeing a problem.
He’s a ticking bomb and it’s well known, and the ZH article clearly lays out the timing and didnt hide anything

Yes, its an actual quote? So what?

ZH just happens to be one of the best news sources left on the Internet.
Most all of their stories contain documented citations and references.
People like to hate them becasue they're RIGHT more than just about any other publication and often FIRST
Covid comes to mind
Do they use sensational headlines sometimes? Sure, EVERY FUCKING MEDIA OUTLET ON THE PLANET DOES
In this case, it was perfectly accurate and not over sensationalized IMHO

I tried to be clear that I was talking about ONLY the headlines. More people IMO read only the headline and believe that's the story.
If the headline does not give a timeline, it's reasonable to assume it's current information. Neither headline reveals what it specifically says is a year old. IMO, that makes it misleading.
The second headline quotes a partial sentence, giving a very different meaning from what the full line in the story says.
“He Won’t Be With Us For Much longer” conveys a very different meaning than “I’m worried that if John stays on his current trajectory he won’t be with us for much longer,”

The interesting thing is we are not told what his occupation is. How does he earn his income? If he is indeed an MS-13 gang member that would explain a lot and where his money comes from.

The article that the New York Mag put out that this story is based on is 2 days old with new quotes from his staff.
It and the subsequent articles like in Fox and ZH referenced current concerns and related past events from 30 days ago to 3 years ago to paint a more comprehensive picture.
The ZH story and headline Fetterman Ex-Chief Of Staff Sounded Mental Health Alarm To Senator's Doctor
…. Are solid.
ZH didnt need to be included
