He's proven that he's not a Democrat, he's a DINO.
He's just a DICK
There's one recurring theme and unifying driver for everything the right does, and everything that's wrong with society. Empathetic impairment.
All of these criminal con artists fall somewhere on the spectrum of malignant selfishness/greed to straight narcissism/psychopathy/sadism (cluster B mental disorders = mental illness).
Engaging in psychological warfare and disinformation campaigns; pedophilia; rampant fraud and corruption; genocide and crimes against humanity; psychotic conspiracy theories; attacking the weak and vulnerable; the destruction of facts, science, and evidence.
All of these are symptoms of a mental illness epidemic and logical corruption, amplified and transmitted through propaganda.
You said it far better than I did. Thank you
They even export this shit, the current US Ambassador to the UK has suggested the UK spend less on healthcare and other social services and more on defence. This isn't even a spend less point he's making, spend the same or more bit less on helping people ffs.
Why is the shitstain even giving budgetry advice to the UK?
No he's mentally ill, which is why he gravitates towards Trump and his Israeli handlers
Stuff like this makes him seem compromised. Republicans get the excuse of party loyalty. There is literally no legal or moral justification for voting against this and Fetterman isn't technically in the Republican party to be loyal to.
Seriously. Why are we still calling him a Democrat?
Just because he hasn't formalized switching parties, I guess.
If he still caucuses with Democrats, that shit has to be super awkward.
Schiff: "We'd better capitulate even more to the Republicans. It's always worked out so well for us in the pa-"
Fetterman: "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE!!!!!! 'I wanna steal your 3-year-old son's testosterone.'</mocking voice> That's what you sound like right now."
Everyone else: "..."
Because as long as he calls himself a Democrat, it's one seat closer to a majority. It's small comfort, but Dems have gotten used to it, after people like Manchin, Sinema, Lieberman, etc. It's better than nothing, or better than Oz.
He proves having Brain damage makes you a Republican.
Idk why you would say that, there are always democrats willing to play spoiler.
Maybe we should elect more than 49.5 of them.
He’s GOP. Ffs. DINO my ass
This is such weak ass Elizabeth Warren language, despite how correct it technically is.
I prefer the term fucking Nazi traitor.
