The Democrat “directed his staff to deliver a gift to the House Oversight Committee to congratulate and salute Rep. Comer and his Team America™ squad as they embark on their historic impeachment journey.”

      I can’t agree more with the new representatives and especially Fetterman actually calling the GOP on their bullshit antics and nonsense rhetoric, this is exactly what is needed to drum up support for the democrats and paints them as on the offense instead of constantly being on the defense making them look like they’re unwilling/unable to hold their own when it comes to treating GOP like the petulant child they have been/and are since Trump was in office this kind of behavior has exploded exponentially. And destroyed what little credibility they had left.

        Fetterman is what I thought we were finally getting when Pelosi ripped Trump’s State of The Union speech up behind his back.

      democrats are very efficient in shooting themselves in a foot. He’s not getting on the ballot as he doesn’t represent established clique. None of the progressives got anywhere because of Democrats top echelon. US needs an nee party with all progressive Democrats moving there. Maybe then there’s some chance for a country.

        I wish the dems had split when the tea party split from Republicans. We could have ended up with party reform in the Democrat party, just as the Republicans reformed when the tea party loons were brought back in.

    His stunt was lauded online as “top tier trolling,” given that some right-wing political leaders and other transphobic figures behind attacks on LGBTQ+ people and rights have boycotted Bud Light this year because of its paid partnership with trans social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

    Fetterman has the backdoor to becoming a political juggernaut. If democrats would stop being afraid of the big bad GOP we might actually back them with some pride.

    The more I see from him the more I like him. We need more politicians like this. Conservatives deserve to be trolled at every level of government.

    I voted for Fetterman and I’m so glad to have him as a Senator. When a major bridge collapsed in my neighborhood, he showed up immediately in gym shorts to assure us that he would get it taken care of. Sure enough, a new bridge was built quickly and with an added bike lane. 10/10 would vote for him again.

    I like Fetterman for his policies/opinions and I like the quips like when he was asked about impeachment and he said a fake “oh nooooo” or whatever…but this is so staged and cringy it gets into Fellow Kids territory.

    Normal for a politician, below my standard for Fetterman.

    I didn’t use to buy Bud Light. After the conservative hate, it’s basically the only beer I buy.

    Ah, the racist Frankenstein’s monster has worshippers everywhere. One of the things I didn’t like about Reddit was the fawning worship of that ballbag.

    He held a black jogger at gunpoint because he fit the description. And no I don’t care that the jogger forgave him. Fuck that guy.

      For the record, are you a way far left liberal with no common sense, or just another run-of-the-mill conservative troll feigning concern over racism?

      When you accuse some of racism and then proceed to judge them based on how they look it makes you look no better. Maybe be a good way to have conversation is to not make yourself look like an ass.

      He held a black jogger at gunpoint because he fit the description.

      How is it racist? Wouldn’t it be racist if he didn’t fit the description? I don’t really have context on what happened, but from what you said there’s nothing seemingly racist about it.

        You should probably look up the story first before jumping in with your “he did nothing wrong” opinion. And your lookism is equal to racism idiocy was just piled on top of that.

      Styles change over time. I don’t see you calling people slobs for leaving home without their hat.
