Vote that sack of shit out of office.
There needs to be a way to recall them.
Asshole. Complete asshole. Dude should be thrown out of Congress for the campaign he ran in PA primaries and then the general. I mean Dr. Oz would have been worse but at this point by how much. Everything is fucked.
Wait a minute, I just dug into this.
A Dude got voted in on certain principles and ideology.
He then suffer's a brain injury that completely changes his ideology,
And there's no referendum planned?
WTF America?
Go to the Pennsylvania community and find out that he was always like this but covered up to get elected. When it came down to it it was either him to Dr Oz. The stroke really has nothing to do with it.
Nah, timeline's off. He had a stroke before being elected.
US Senators have no recall mechanism. Fetterman is up for reelection in 2028. We will see what happens then.
He's going to switch parties. I guarantee it
he is pro lgbtq+ and pro choice so i doubt that very much
Honestly I hope he does, it’s not like he can win a Dem or Republican primary now lol
Does it really matter?
Fetterman has certainly been acting more erratic since his stroke, but he actually wasn't as progressive as people wanted to believe. He was always a hard-core Israel supporter, and he once held a black jogger at gunpoint because he saw a black man running and assumed he committed a crime.
Also, there is nothing the voters can do to remove a sitting Senator. The only way for him to be removed is for two-thirds of the Senate to expel him, which isn't going to happen. Depending on Pennsylvania's laws, either the Governor would appoint a Senator until the next election, which the Republicans wouldn't support because they like Fetterman fucking over the Democrats, or Pennsylvania would have to hold a special election, which the Democrats wouldn't like because it would leave them short a vote for weeks (maybe months), and an unreliable vote is better than no vote. Either way, you're not going to find 67 Senators willing to expel him.
You mean like a recall?
America needs recall elections.
We have nothing we can do
Yeah, but some tea smugglers were able to increase their profit margins. All that "creating a functioning government" stuff was just an afterthought.
I love how Americans today are we have no options but their stories of founding is then causing shit and fighting the man. Bit their founding stories are so over blown and fictionalized its pathetic.
Almost 60% americans are against the war, it truly is the #1 democracy.
And they'll stay true to themselves, they won't learn anything from anything ever. I bet some of them will even be asking for a third term.
Their arrogance is well deserved, USA! USA! USA! The land of the free hahaha
Fetterman IS a traitor.
Fetterman has been called a traitor for a lot longer than that. Ever since the brain damage, he's betrayed everything he was supposedly supporting when elected. That sack of shit can't fuck off fast enough and the moment his ass is out of office I hope and expect he finds he doesn't have a friend in the world.
Dude went around doing a press tour talking about how the brain damage made him less progressive.
That alone should have had us trigger some mechanism to determine if he's fit for duty.
He was never a progressive. The media labeled him that and voters all went "oh ok voted" without looking at his history.
I mean it was either him or Mehmet fucking Oz.
Excellent point! Forgot about that.
You know, Fetterman has talked openly about his struggles with suicidal ideation. Just saying, with the right letter campaign, we might be able to solve this one.
Considering his less than ideal body shape, it's also not unreasonable to hope for a major cardiovascular event
Well, we could start sending him some red meat gift baskets, but it might get a little pricey.
Didn't I hear that he got brain damage or something like that AFTER becoming a senator?
Stroke so yes technically speaking he did. He was like this before but you are correct.
I was sort of under the impression that he had changed partway through, but perhaps he was like a Tulsi Gabbard in the end.
PEDOPHILE
I wish there was some mechanism to remove him from office earlier. Vote of no confidence, Some sort of lawsuit, Breach of voter representation
Recall elections at the federal level
Please Democratic leadership wanted him to vote this way. If they wanted they could hold his feet in the fire and vote party line. Also keep him from commite seats etc. Since none that happens its because he doing what they want him to do.
Words alone have lost all meaning, we need action.
Are they going to do anything about it or say he's a traitor today and then keep working with him like normal the next day? I'm starting to think they support the Republicans with all this inaction.
Because the brain-damaged cunt is
Oh my God! They called him a traitor? That must have serious implications...right?
Until next time, where he gets to do the same thing and democrats will claim they can't do anything because they have no power and then go on to cash their cheques from their benefactors.
Why doesn't he join MAGA at this point? Why is he still in D party?
If he changes parties then he's just another (R) senator.
His current position as spoiler maximises the amount of attention/power/leverage/bribes he can receive.
He can't read the paperwork.
