    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.

    🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

        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.

      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.

      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

    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.

        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.

    Couldn’t he be removed from his job due to clear and severe mental health issues and complications following his CVA?
