Somebody start running against this asshat now.
Calling it now, Fetterman is going to switch parties.
Maybe not soon, but someday.
He barely needs to at this point.
He already did long ago
He just hasn’t announced it yet because like this he’s more useful for the Republicans
Get started primarying this asshole right now.
I hope she will
Don’t forget he met a head of state while wearing a hoodie and no one batted an eye. And shorts! Proud to be an American! /s
Fetterman is the poster child for why the US should allow “recall” elections.
At least for Congress-critters that are, for whatever reason, not the same person that was originally elected.
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
See, I’d have said George Santos is the poster child for that.
Can we agree that despite how shitty he is, his actual attempt at being a politician is legitimately hysterical?
Like I think Andy Kaufman has haunted his soul just to troll American politics.
There should really be a way for a party or it’s base to initiate a recall election. We’ve had some recent cases of Republicans trying to recall Democrats. It should be for “buyers remorse” and not “we want a do-over”.
So long as it’s a proper election, that same ballot bullshit here in California is braindead. Let alone the fact that it’s a free for all vote, while good old Arnold was actually decent in a doing his best sorta way well we got lucky 20 years ago. Imagine if a Trumper was in charge of California? Mind you I’m pretty sure they’d be locked down by the state Congress and perhaps even impeached on the first fuck up but still.
Yeah it should be for Fetterman and the people who run as democrats and switch upon election.
Honestly there should be both. Just make the trigger for the general recall an exceptionally high bar.
If there was a recall mechanism, I think it would be unreasonable to restrict it to just the party of the candidate
There was one that was more egregious. I don’t remember her name, but this one formally announced that she changed sides after winning. To my knowledge, Johnny boy still calls himself a Democrat.
She took decades to change though. This dude did it in one term.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please note that the part of ‘Joe Manchin’ will now be played by John Fetterman.”
Remember when Joe Lieberman basically mangled the ACA to ensure profitd for his insurance buddies?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Yep. He is the sole reason we don’t have Universal Healthcare. It was supposed to be one of the options we had to choose from, but he made sure to kill it.
His grave should have a public toilet on top of it.
Yup. Fucking psychopaths and society hasn’t figured out we just need to cull them from power. Sad.
wtf you talkin’ about willis? Society hasn’t figured out to delete fucking facebook and you want them to understand politics?
I’d rather assume society had a chance then no chance. Too each their own lol
His grave should have a public toilet on top of it.
I personally think its already just an open air urinal.
Almost like the democrats are a party designed to give working class voters something that feels like representation but is purposely sabotaged with malicious actors so that no meaningful progress can be made
Funny how the gop doesn’t have a fetterman, manchin, Lieberman, etc blocking project 2025, supreme court confirmations, post 9/11 bullshit, etc. and somehow manages to always get their agenda pushed through
Funny how the gop comes into office and smashes their agenda through where a single person will derail the democrats. “Oh this thing that will benefit all workers?? So sorry, Krysten sinema said no…” but then elon musk and trump dismantle the government in like 2 months and the democrats are like aw geez.
Murkowski? McCain (specifically thinking about ACA)?
The Republicans have been stopped by their own politicians playing ‘maverick’ before. You forget how little got done in the Senate during Trump’s first turn.
He got 3 Supreme Court justices and an insane amount of court stacking done. He didn’t get everything but he got enough to set the stage for today
Republican “mavericks” are because every once in a while one of them develops a conscience. They get a gay kid or something. Democrat “mavericks” are theater: sinema and fetterman were always class traitors. Anyone looking into their history for even 30 seconds will see that clearly. They are promoted by the party to ensure there will always be some dissent, to make sure there will always be someone that can act as a heel. That way if something like right now is happening they can take the fall. Or if democrats get a commanding lead, they can take the fall again like when sinema and manchin had the role. “Oh sorry, no healthcare, student loan reform, minimum wage increase, etc for you!”
ACA was a joke. Admittedly the pre existing conditions bit amongst a few other regulatory changes were long overdue and very helpful. But ultimately the individual mandate with no financial support was toxic. People who didn’t have insurance weren’t not buying it because they thought it was fun not to. They couldn’t afford it, they were struggling. By forcing them to with penalties for not you created a generation of angry people. Not only did you not fix healthcare; you were financially punishing them for being too poor to buy into the system that you failed to adequately reform. But the increased signups thanks to this penalty system were great for the private insurance industry lobbying buddies that helped influence this bullshit
50 years from now democrats will be remembered for being absolutely spineless at best and more likely for being power hungry and owned by corporate influence
During Biden’s term they got even more judges confirmed. He should have knocked off a few Supremes so he could match him there, but I’m just pointing out that it’s not like Republican terms are particularly productive.
Theres a lot of things biden should have done. And a lot of things he did that he should not have done. He was always unworthy to be president, and the history books won’t be kind.
Theres always someone to fill the role of DNC rotating villain
Nah. This guy is going to get primaried by the people who elected him over Mr. Crudite and then immediately turned and voted against their interests. Unlike that fraud Manchin, hell just bitch up and switch the letter behind his name and run again
Goes to show you what stroke does to a MF
Brain damage leads to conservatism. We have a shit ton of brain damaged idiots here in the US.
Lead, and microplastics will do that to a MF
Deal with it? You mean, like, primary you and the 9 other simps who voted for this bill? Okay. That’s good advice, thanks Fetterman.
And he just got gifted a silver-plated pager by netanyahu earlier this week.
This guy is a disgusting political waste.
Wait, really? You know what Israelis do with pagers, right?
That was the entire point. They are celebrating and making light of literal genocide.
The video truly display the humiliation and subtle threat.
The gift is akin to saying “we own you and we will do with you as we please or else…”
Not that it matters now. But isn’t taking gifts from foreign representatives illegal as an office holder.
Fetterman also wanted to defund United Nations Relief and Works Agency, defended a certain Brian Thompson, referred to the hush-money case against Trump as “bullshit“, said that Democrats need to stop ‘freaking out’ over everything Trump does, and said that he would ‘fully support’ U.S. troops in Gaza.
Sounds like a mole
Aaaaand the mask comes off
Can’t they recall him for brain damage ?
Theres no way for the US to recall federal representatives. Some states allow recalls of state level reps, but none of the federal ones can be recalled legally.
Could recall him into the fucking ground
That’s like most of geriatric congress.
Fetterman is your standard anti-worker neo-liberal.
Fuck that guy
Sounds exactly like what he said after he threatened a jogging black man with a shotgun.
Your terms are acceptable.
Same advice to the victims in the most recent (as of this minute, anyway) mass shooting. 3 dead in NM.
Deal with it.
