The bill is targeted at harming the poor, and is projected to cause 50,000 excess deaths yearly.

          Is it sad that I always need to check the context of what I said everytime I get this reply?

          Of my recent comments, I thought you were replying to my topic I made where the news would interview bartenders about the sounds of womens queefs.

    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.

            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.

                Bankrolled what? Community gardens? Art centers? What are you specifically claiming and why is it relevant to this man’s obvious public decline?

          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

    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.

        That’s the level of copium I’ve been mainlining since his heel turn. Like I didn’t want McCormick in the primary, and I definitely didn’t want fucking Oz, but this is pretty bad.

      Fetterman had skipped 25 out of 26 hearings or business meetings by the Senate Commerce Committee thus far in 2025 — and only attended his first one after the New York Magazine piece was published

      I think he really is just being a little bitch.
