If the Democrats were a functioning opposition party, they would have forced Fetterman out when his staffers started reporting his erratic behavior. But Chuck Schumer needs Senators to, "go against him," and thwart any legitimate opposition the party can muster, so we let this brain damaged, mentally ill man occupy one of fhe highest positions of power in the nation.

MODERATORS
Fetterman, Randy Fine, Trump, Lindsey Graham, Rubio, Ted Cruz. It's amazing to think about how his gallery of absolute revolting ghouls have all received the majority of votes in an election in the US. The American public have preferred these freaks to whatever was the alternative.
I don't know how the US can be salvaged. At the minimum, a massive portion of the country needs to be sent to reeducation camps.
It's really a shame he didn't die in that car crash.
Brain damaged fool says what?
Huh?
People who look crazy like this fuckhead shouldn't throw stones.
Jfc, it's so unfortunate his stroke was caught in time to save his Phineas Gage ass.
John Fetterman had medically confirmed brain damage.
"dozens" is a really weird way of spelling "over a hundred".
It is, indeed.
FFS, even saying a “dozen dozens“ would be underselling the actual death toll of that particular war crime.
The world honestly would be a (slightly) better place if that stroke was just a smidge more fatal…
Someone should present him with a backpack, painted red and burnt, with a student ID. Really, that is something that should be gifted to everyone who supports this bullshit.
"Mr. President, I present you a peace trophy."
Loony loser must lose his seat
Does anyone on any side think this brain-damaged flip-flopper has anything important to say?
The right seems to like a lot what he says, probably consider him one of the "good ones" until it's time to pair down on who to shoot next.
The headline is misquoting him, the full quote is:
“Well, because we all agree that it’s a tragedy having the school hit, and we all agree now for an investigation,” Fetterman said. “What I don’t agree with the rest of my colleagues in the House is that it’s a war of choice, or it’s dumb, or all the things my colleagues have described, you know, this operation. I think it’s a good thing, and I support that.”
Still glaringly stupid, but the headline makes it seem like he's in denial it happened. He didn't say the words ~~"leftist" or~~ "craze"
Edited for accuracy!
He says that, but then votes against the investigation. Fuck this guy.
Appreciate this.
Trump's political supporters say and do enough batshit, immoral things that we don't need to be lying just to make our points.
bad vibes to John Fetterman but also bad vibes to the journalist who misquoted the title
He did say the word "leftist". He doesn't say crazed, but he does say:
"The Leftist media seem more angry and talking about the deaths of these dead school girls than they were about Iran killing tens of thousands of their own young people a couple of weeks ago"
The clip is here: https://x.com/Acyn/status/2031906677365358825
All I did was search the rest of the article for the term "leftist" notice it was used, then goto the link the New Republic provided. The question the interviewer is posing is why did all the Senate Democrats signed a letter condemning the US action in Iran except for John Fetterman.

John Fetterman lives under a bridge and eats any traveller who can't answer his riddles
Go jump into the Potomac you brain damaged traitor.
This guy has been a major disappointment, but I want to remind everyone, that if Fetterman had t won his election, we'd be listening to Dr Oz run his fraud mouth.
Guys like Manchin and Sinema and Fetterman piss us off, but they contribute to the Democratic seat count, which is really really close right now. In past close party counts, sometimes the majority is only because of a DINO. They may not vote how we'd like, as much as we like, but their registration as Dem means that Dems control the chamber, the investigations, the legislation, etc.
So while he's a pain in the ass, he still has value to the party. Right now, the MAGA majority in the House is so thin, that if only one more Republican resigns effective immediately, the majority will swing to the Dems, BEFORE THE MIDTERMS EVEN HAPPEN.
If I were the Dems, I'd be offering huge rewards to any Republican willing to retire immediately. Want a cushy, high paying gig with a lobbying firm? We can make that happen. MAGA will scream, but who cares? That's always entertaining anyway.
He just said killing school children is a leftist conspiracy wtf are you talking about
I guess but isn't Dr. Oz just in a different position within the trump administration now?
But he's not a Senator.

Can the Democrats sanction and eject this senator? He seems to be a Trumper in disguise.
~~in disguise~~
That would involve actually doing something, and 90% of them are utterly useless.

I say John Fetterman is an amoralic peice of shit and will go to hell.
Motherfucker should have just been a Trumper. He's as stupid as everyone else in the administration and would fit right in.
Looking back, it's like what the fuck, it was this guy or Dr Oz? Like did Pennsylvania even actually have a choice?
He was a lot less insufferable before the stroke.
Brain injuries absolutely DO change people.

I wish I could go back in time and vote against him in the primary, but he was cool back then flying the weed flag at the state capital. He also ran against Dr Oz, who is worse but I had high hopes for him. Now I just feel betrayed everytime he makes the news. I never felt so ashamed to have given anyone my vote as him.
It must be true, he read it on Facebook guys!
Dat boy out to lunch.
WHICH ONE OF THE SIX SCHOOL BOMBING STRIKES IN IRAN, FETTERMAN? WHICH FUCKING ONE DOESN'T DESERVE INVESTIGATION?
When it comes to Fetterman, I wonder how many people get brain damage and suddenly become more progressive instead of regressive?
I know some people say this is who they suspect he always was, but....

Meaning everybody who is not a "leftie" is a psychopath.
Number of reasons to hate the guy are too high. He could eat a baby for all I care, I simply can't hate him more.
This man is among the worst.
