Remembering my 1960's roots.

WTF with that guy ?😡

... he's the only Democrat that WVians would vote for, so as bad as he was, we were lucky to have him and his "D" (if not his votes) to bring us closer to having a majority. On the other hand, in PA... we can do better. The PAian voters are swing/purpleish... and other fine candidates are certainly electable.

I'm "thankful" that it was Fetterman over Oz... but it could have been, should have been Lamb instead. If Bernie had chosen to put his endorsement and election machinery behind a better candidate we would not be here talking about this today.

Fetterman definitely had Bernie fooled, and his endorsement really helped to bring out the "progressive vote" for a candidate who isn't as progressive as we were told he'd be.

Is that I'm glad that my stroke didn't turn me into a complete fucking moron like his apparently did him.

It's like he's a completely different person.

a show where certain ghosts can supplant other people.

I think when Fetterman had his stroke, his soul was pushed out and he is possessed by Joe Lieberman.

Even if the theorcratic Iranian regime falls, the chance of something better that lends itself to a more stable region is a very long shot. Our influence will not be welcome and likely animosity and tensions with neighboring countries will remain. Like our little adventure in Venezuela, you may change the people at the top, but very little else changes, just new chapter of Bad.

this is bibi’s doing.

...for all the people smarter than Trump. This will delaminate in so many ways. As Robert McNamara said when LBJ directed him to expand the Vietnam War "...and loose the law of unanticipated consequences".

it’s hard to say if it’s cuz he’s stupid or cuz he’s compromised.

These war names are always Orwellian.

For health reasons.

actual Dems, are thinking of this surreptitious DINO?

... how was he able to fool them all. What did they see in him that I could not see? (Or, how could they not see what so many of us always suspected and disliked about him?) What made him a better choice over Conor Lamb during the primary? --- Big sigh.

on DU awhile ago that AOC apologized to him.. so maybe Connor Lamb will have some of that support if he runs in a couple of years.

... gotten as far as he did without Bernie's endorsement. I guess he had Bernie fooled too. Bernie said that Fetterman would be a "real fighter for the working class" ... and without Bernie’s vocal support, it’s hard to imagine him surviving that primary or consolidating the base.

Now, Fetterman is openly mocking Bernie's positions on foreign policy and blasting "rot" in the party. Was Bernie just a "useful engine" for Fetterman to get elected, or did Fetterman genuinely change once he got to DC?

Since late 2023, Fetterman has distanced himself from the "progressive" label, specifically over his unconditional support for Israel, which directly conflicts with Bernie’s calls for aid conditions. I wonder how Bernie could have so seriously misjudged his character to the point where he was willing to put his own reputation on the line for Fetterman.

I was a big bait-and-switch, and I wonder if Fetterman would have even cleared the primary without Bernie's stamp of approval. Thoughts?

Put in your God Damned hoodie and put your own fucking boots on the ground. Fuck all this regime with hell fire missiles.

The world is eating itself.

Your God blessed you with a stroke.

He's got more in store for you Fetterman.

If we start bringing back our soldiers in body bags.

Biggest disappointment I can remember. I feel like I in PA have no real Democratic representation in the Senate.

hope he comes back in 2028 and Wins.

Either the stroke changed Fetterman for the worst or it revealed who he really was. Either way he's got to go. Let's get a real Democrat in that seat .

I read on here . He should have a lot of People behind him!

That he’s one of my senators.

What a surprise.

His brainwashing has been completed. Fuck this shit.

Respectfully, this won’t get better until he’s in rehab.
