Bye 👋 He's essentially a Republican anyhow.
this is why there needs to be a recall mechanism for congress and senators. Dude ran as a Democrat and is now saying "haha, Ima go be a republican now" and all the people who voted for him can do nothing for 6 fucking years.
Our representatives should be afraid when they don't represent us. Organize and give public servants reasons to resign when they betray their electorate. And if they don't like that, they can make a law that allows for recalls. Not sure if there are many other ways to get that law passed

Man. Brain damage did a number of him. Gabby Gifford was shot in the head and didn't turn conservative
I've seen comments from people in his constituency that said the stroke didnt change shit, that he's always been a piece of shit, even before he was in public office.
Because he was already a shitbags before his stroke. The stroke just made it harder for him to hide his power level.
Fetterman was just a rich kid who's daddy's money has backed his entire career. His dad is the owner and CEO of an insurance company and is a long time big Republican donor. Fettermans entire career has been faking blue collar credentials while being an asshole contrarian.
When he was mayor he raised prices for locals by turning his town into a vacation town for his rich friends. He also held a random black jogger at gun point because he suspected him of doing a crime. His constituents and coworkers hated him.
As Lt governor he barely showed up to work and missed one third of the mandatory state Senate sessions he was supposed to oversee. The guy has always been a lazy asshole, the stroke just made it come to the surface.

The sooner he fucks off the better.
Thanks for disclosing your priorities
Man, fuck Israel*.
*the current Israeli government and those who support it.
**I’m sure there are people who live in Israel who are very nice.
If polling is anything to go by, the vast majority are rabid fascists. But you are technically correct, there is a minority.

Bye, bitch.
Jesus dude, you didn't need to sweeten the deal, I was already for it!
So he will sell out his own countrymen for loyalty another country? What happened to when you could be hanged for being a traitor?
i don't know if theres enough rope in the country to hang the traitors, at this point.
Doesnt mean we shouldnt give it the ol' college try.

He's functionally a Republican anyway. Why spend Dem party campaign mpney on him?
Why wait? Just fuck off already.
Thought you left already? Fuck outta here, supermutant looking ass.
YOU CAN'T FIRE ME, I QUIT.
Fuuuuuuuck you, dude
Please, DNC! Be officially pro-Jew, anti-Israel.
Sounds like a win/win to me.
One more reason to oppose Israel. Not that even more reasons are necessary.
Oh god yes please fuck all the way off.
-- sincerely, a Pennsylvanian.
Bye.
He's been tarnishing the Democrat brand since he arrived.
This MAGA hack needs to be kicked out yesterday and let him caucus with the lunatic right which he loves so much.
So his threat is basically that he'll likely ruin his chances of holding office ever again if the party doesn't do what he wants? What a weird flex.

Bye bitch
"Man who is leaving the party anyway tries to get extra concessions on his way out." FTFY
Go away, nobody likes you.
Stroke made you evil.
Good.
Yuuuup. I think it's well past time to let Temu Uncle Fester go.
Why are Israel issues more relevant than domestic issues affecting millions of Americans?

Fuck that fucking fucker to the highest of Fuckativity!
It doesn't have to become anti-Israel, just anti-genocide. Would that be a deal-breaker for him? (I wouldn't nind seeing him replaced anyway.)
Who cares what this assbag will do. We know he had a incident (a stroke) where he finally realized he was gonna die one day. Most of us become more human when we face a possibility of death. He had one and became less human.
help him gtfo now
You know what Fetter reminds me of?
One of those con artists white men from a up north area.
Like I have an example.
I had this friend back in high-school. His dad's name was Gerald. He was a 6 ft 5 350lbs guy who was a con man. He wore different kinds of beret hats and had thin glasses with a extended goatee. His words were slick and his tongue was quick. He drove a decommissioned Lincoln under cover police cruiser and never stayed at one job.
He was the type to steal 10g from laundry vending machines and word in a way that his son did some of the time for him.
This man conned his son outta $1,000 by saying it was for presents for his brother only to find out that he and his wife spent it on crack.
Fettermen reminds me of that man if he had gotten into politics. A con artists white man whose a piece of shit but acts like he's the salt of the earth.
Cunt.
Also Gerald was from Philly.
Where's the catch? I see no downsides
How would that change anything?
Also, interesting way of saying that you are an agent of another country
He lied to win the election. Fuck him and cutoff his socialized healthcare.
