      He wasn’t a sleeper, this is who he has always been. But since he had that D next to his name Democrats had no problem putting him into office. They overlooked everything just so it would be their team in place

        I mean his competition was the fraudulent Dr… Also prior to his stroke he was aligned more as a progressive. Strokes mess up the brain.

        It’s funny to me. I know an older guy (early 60s) from PA who’s a lefty, very liberal. I remember him being so happy when Fetterman got elected. He said he was ecstatic he had a senator he thought he could share a beer with. He’s incredibly disappointed in him now. Just today he said how he would gladly vote for Newsom if he’s the nominee in '28. We’re so cooked.

        Follow-up: I found a sample ballot from fetterman’s senate election. There wasn’t really a stand-out candidate in that race. Richard Weiss seems to be the most moral, but not perfect. I can’t fault the voters given their material conditions.

        I’m not very familiar with that election. Who was the best candidate? Richard Weiss?

      He’s got that enlarged amygdala look and vibe for sure.

      The left thought he was one of us because he talks shit about Trump and wears a hoodie. The fact that’s all it took should be enough for deep reevaluation of who we’re choosing to represent us.

        Mamdani is the same. People said he was a socialist and he didn’t argue because he wanted votes. Then he raids homeless camps and slashes library funding.

    A spokesperson for Fetterman added that “whether the senator is on a letter or not, he fully stands behind a comprehensive investigation into this tragedy.”

    Bro, what?

    Going to create a Firefox add-on that automatically replaces the name Fetterman with ‘Bag of Dicks Wearing A Hoodie’

    Strictly as a quality of life upgrade.

    I’m glad to see that the VBNMW crowd that got him elected knew what was best for Pennsylvania instead of listening to people that knew who he was.
