I don't think I hate a single Republican fascist more than I hate this worthless fuck.
It would have been better for him and everyone else if that tumor had killed him instead of turning him into a lazy melancholic genocide fetishist.
FUCK YOU DO YOUR FUCKING JOB
He’s being paid over 100k a year to be there right?
But have you considered how this is hurting him personally? His poor little fascist feelings?
picks up with one hand
Lifts above shoulder
Pulls back and closes eyes
Throws into the sea AEGH!!
"I’m gonna vote no, there’s no drama, we know the votes are going to go.”
TBH I was relieved to hear he wasn't voting with the Republicans this time.
Poor little brain-damaged baby!
Not a whole lot the left and right can agree on these days but I think "Fuck this dude for bitching about missing his beach vacation because he has to do the job he was elected for" is fairly bipartisan.
This reminds me of Cruz being forced to not go to Cancun while his state froze to death.
Though his complaint is that him voting no doesn’t matter because of numbers
It becomes more defeatist than whiny
Just read the section on his mayorship of Braddock. This bud has been problematic for a long time. I don't think he's gone crazy lately, instead people got sold a counterfeit product during his federal election that they didn't look much into.
Yeah some more news did a good segment on him, explaining how he was always pretty crappy: https://youtu.be/28M_zkoAGQM
Ya, great watch.
I think people just didn't look close enough or brushed some of the bad things away because someone had to defeat Dr. Oz.
He ran on the platform the Democratic Party ran on for 2020, which still held appeal regardless of his track record. But honestly after his stroke his spouse really helped carry him across the general. In the end though she isn't the senator.
But now there's no platform at all so he's just doing whatever he wants, including being a total shitbag. He's a senator for a failed party, after all.
I can't wait until someone gets this Shrek looking mf out of power.
LMAO
Does two strokes cancel out? Because I think he should get another stroke to see if he suddenly becomes a progressive lol
I think that would just make him more republican.
Take a job that doesn’t fuck your schedule then. Nobody wants you there anyway.
If lifes and even Democracy itself is at stake, this should not be an issue.
Fetterman just needs to go the fuck away for his sake and the sake of others. It's obvious he isn't all there mentally and fucking hates being there so he should make room for someone who is mentally capable and wants to be there.
This asshole really needs to resign, if this is how he feels about doing his fucking job. If you want to spend time with your family at the beach so badly...by all means, get the fuck out of office and make room for someone who actually gives a shit.
Stroke personality changes are very real. I feel for him in that regard
Stop shaming stroke victims.
Fetterman was always like this.
just gently suggesting both can be true - he was problematic before the stroke, but the stroke could also be playing a role in what by all accounts seems to be a change in behavior and long-held policy positions which started after the stroke. Even Fetterman himself thinks the stroke is what was responsible for this change: https://newrepublic.com/post/182504/john-fetterman-abandon-progressives-bill-maher
He wasn't, that's the narrative after the fact. That thing fucking changed him fundamentally.
Didn't vandalize local business and chase after joggers with a shotgun after the stroke.
Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm
"In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman's mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in "conspiratorial thinking", "megalomania", rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan."
Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children's programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he's erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.
Also, his family bankrolled him the entire time.
Bankrolled what? Community gardens? Art centers? What are you specifically claiming and why is it relevant to this man's obvious public decline?
Feel free to fuck off and die at any time.
That's exactly what the Republicans are saying.
His brain damage turned him Republican.
That's a cop-out, he was doing unhinged shit well before the stroke.

If brain damage wasn't bad enough... It turns you into a miserable republican fuck.
Cry harder you fucking MAGAt in "sheep's clothing"...
“I’m gonna vote no, there’s no drama, we know the votes are going to go.”
Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it you brain-addled MAGAt-surrogate fucking traitorous turd. 🤡 🖕 💩 💩
Someone call the "whaaambulance" for Festerman.
me and my 7 allowed days of PTO a year are gonna tell you to go find a fat cactus to sit on
Welcome to taste of our world, Fetterman.
You get beach vacations? I don't even get 5 minutes alone to masturbate. Gotta do it on the city bus like everybody else...
Look at this motherfucker bitching but can afford bus fare.
I jerk off in the library where it’s free.

A lobster would be a better representative than Fetterman and his MAGA brain damage at this point.
Aww, does someone have to do his job?
