The bill is targeted at harming the poor, and is projected to cause 50,000 excess deaths yearly.

    This asshole really needs to resign, if this is how he feels about doing his fucking job. If you want to spend time with your family at the beach so badly…by all means, get the fuck out of office and make room for someone who actually gives a shit.

            Didn’t vandalize local business and chase after joggers with a shotgun after the stroke.

              Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm

              “In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman’s mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in “conspiratorial thinking”, “megalomania”, rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan.”

              Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children’s programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he’s erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.

                I think he probably changed due to the stroke. I also think he was always a piece of shit.

          just gently suggesting both can be true - he was problematic before the stroke, but the stroke could also be playing a role in what by all accounts seems to be a change in behavior and long-held policy positions which started after the stroke. Even Fetterman himself thinks the stroke is what was responsible for this change: https://newrepublic.com/post/182504/john-fetterman-abandon-progressives-bill-maher

    Just read the section on his mayorship of Braddock. This bud has been problematic for a long time. I don’t think he’s gone crazy lately, instead people got sold a counterfeit product during his federal election that they didn’t look much into.

          He ran on the platform the Democratic Party ran on for 2020, which still held appeal regardless of his track record. But honestly after his stroke his spouse really helped carry him across the general. In the end though she isn’t the senator.

          But now there’s no platform at all so he’s just doing whatever he wants, including being a total shitbag. He’s a senator for a failed party, after all.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That’s all the rules!
