    Funny, cause when he was campaigning I certainly remember him framing himself as a leftist.

    Those AIPAC checks must hit like crack.

    One day he’s going to be a case study on how traumatic brain injuries make you lean towards conservative ideology.

    A leftist craze like morality and the 10 commandments – baint no-one be bothered with those!

  4. If the dems somehow shoot the moon and get 51 senators after the midterm, this chucklefuck is going to switch parties to keep it in republican hands.

    He will be primaried come 28 so his chances of keeping his seat as is are poor. His favorability among republicans is pretty high because of all his dumbshittery.

  5. Yeah, only “leftists” care when we *checks notes* murder 100 school girls.​

    Manchurian candidate John Fetterman? The same guy who went into a military hospital for a month and came out with republican talking points on his phone and no other ability to speak?

    Is there not a way to recall this stupid piece of shit motherfucker?

    Like, he blatantly misrepresented himself to voters and there should be a way to resolve that

  8. If I ever have a stroke and the brain damage turns me into a Republican, I hope my family will have the mercy to euthanize me.

  9. Fetterman is an excellent argument for the value and importance of creating a “no confidence vote” power that citizens can bring to bear without having to go through their representatives.

    We should always have the ability to change our minds on a candidate when they flip like he did. And we shouldn’t have to wait years to do it.

  10. Killing kids shouldn’t be an issue to call out for either side, the fact that it is shows me we’ve failed as a country. You know for a fact if Iran bombed a school full of kids, he wouldn’t be saying this, he’d be calling for a nuke.

    Yup. Leftists don’t like bombing schools. It’s true. Maybe we should be electing leftists.

    We need a constitutional amendment that provides a procedure for recalling Senators.

  13. Faulty_english on

    Apparently they ran on 10 year old intel of it being a base. Why can’t he just feel sorry for little kids dying

    Caring about war crimes= the newest leftist craze. Call me crazy then you heartless fuck.

  15. John Fetterman has brain damage and shouldn’t be an elected official.

    Same for Trump who has dementia. I’m sorry, but if your mental health declines to the point that you say and do crazy things, you should be replaced immediately.

    > Fetterman added: “I would remind everybody listening right now, the United States never, ever targets civilians. Iran does.”

    I’m not so sure about the John when the President tried to claim that the missiles weren’t fired by the USA, but it was then discovered they actually were. Either they deliberately targeted the school, or their incompetence can’t guarantee they won’t target civilians. Can’t have it both ways.

    What is the mechanism in place for the removal of impaired elected officials ? And why aren’t we using it for Fetterman, McConnell Graham, that lady that was found in a memory care facility and, for f’s sake, the Cheeto in chief? Absolutely unbelievable that we have to wait for elections.

  18. Fetterman sucks and should not be leading anything, but if you read the article, he says, “…we all agree that it’s a tragedy having the school hit, and we all agree now for an investigation,”. As long as this is investigated, we shouldn’t care what this idiot says about leftists.

  19. > Fetterman ranted that the “left media” seemed to care much more “about this hospital” than about Iran massacring “tens of thousands of their young people.” (Some of us are old enough to remember when Fetterman cheerleaded Israel killing thousands of young people in Gaza.)

    There’s nothing really deep needed to counter this, given that we cannot control was the Iranian government does to its people, **but we can control not killing kids with our bombs**.

    The condescension really masks how dumb that kind of talking point is.

    Similarly, not ironically, it’s like after Oct. 7 when people (some on Reddit) thought they were making an intelligent dig at people in U.S. for protesting the country’s involvement with the massacre in Gaza and not protesting Hamas. Which yeah dumbass, our government doesn’t fund Hamas. What would people protest the government for “don’t do the thing you aren’t doing”?

  20. Dudes brain must be cottage cheese by now.

    “Caring about elementary school girls being no bed is so leftist.”

    ….Ok.
