(1,660 posts)Bill went and kissed his ass at the beginning of this term. Im wondering if he threatened to have feds arrest him on drug charges.

This is but one example of why Dems don't iike Maher.

(4,083 posts)I find his sneering arrogance repellant, regardless of his ideology.
Hey Bill, you ain't edgy. You don't have any friends that aren't on payroll.

(320,392 posts)Fetterman in there, too.
I wondered how that went with Fetterman on Maher's show. About as expected.
Nobody likes him on DU. Now he's rolling around in the pig slop with Maher.

(1,660 posts)And then he will make his whole living off of trashing the Democrats on Fox, Maher, Rogan, Podcasts etc.

(320,392 posts)come 2029. He hitched himself to the PEDO wagon.

(4,083 posts)And was shaken by how clearly impaired Fetterman is currently. He mumbled, got lost in his thoughts, stammered, stared off into space. He was not all there.
He even looked like he was about to burst into tears when talking about how Democrats are losing men.
Circuits are fried. There is something wrong, wrong.

Why would "Dems be losing men", with all that PEDO is doing to destroy Americans and America?
Sounds like he's gaslighting, doing PECO's work for him.

(4,083 posts)Maher is just a misogynist. Fetterman is emotionally dysregulated.
The claim they make is that the current crop of adult males (those maybe 10-15 years younger than I) were raised on media that portrayed men-as-husbands being bumbling jokes. Think Malcolm in the Middle's dad, or Homer Simpson, or any number of commercials where men have to ask their wives how to use a laundry machine.
This is manifesting as an inferiority complex and defense mechanisms that are amplified with social media and online parasocial relationships.
It is a reasonable hypothesis, but I'm a man and I'm not wounded by these depictions. Like yeah, it is an overcorrection from I Love Lucy, but since when did us dudes become such snowflakes?
Obviously, the blind spot in this reasoning is the ~4000 years of women being disenfranchised and viewed as the 'pot of dirt' that a man's seed grows in.
Fetterman, though, had trouble talking and looked like he was going to cry. It was painful to see. He didn't cry like Jordan Peterson (who cries in anger like a lunatic).
Had Fetterman not been a party to murder on the streets by a paramilitary, he would be the subject of pity. He is a tragedy.
As much as I want him to resign, and as much as I like heaping scorn on him, I have to admit seeing that look in his eyes as he tried to form thoughts and have them slip like sand through his fingers... it was sad. He is on a track and can't steer.
I want Fetterman to go home and be with his wonderful wife and family. He is ill and shouldn't be in a position of power.
Bill Maher? He should drown in a river.

(3,534 posts)I wonder how his wife is coping?
I wouldn't be surprised if a divorce isn't in the offing in the next year. (I'm sure Gisele can handle the physical disability and slowness) but the anger and personality changes would be a deal breaker, especially with children also trying to cope with those obvious differences from 'dad before the stroke'.
And I am a "Pttsburgher" and voted for him and was a proud supporter. But this iteration of Fetterman I cannot abide. It's time for him to be stepping down in order to address his own health, his marriage's stability, and what his children must see as a changed dad.

(4,083 posts)There is nothing that can realistically be done -- advise him not to run for reelection because the DSCC won't fund him, but beyond that they really can't make him do anything. Take him off committees? Ooo less homework
JBTaurus83
(1,660 posts)If we win the senate with only 51 seats, we will be back to a Manchin situation. I do think if he starts mucking everything up in a situation like that, it would be best to publicly throw him to the curb. Manchin and Sinema really helped killed momentum and motivation among Dem leaning voters.
He is a houseplant. Let's keep him watered until we upgrade.

(25,456 posts)could not sink any lower. Especially disappointed with Fetterman, though. To actually single out that insult of a female reporter just doing her job shows where he's coming from and I feel that I know him so much better now. Thanks for demonstrating exactly where you stand, John.

(20,827 posts)Maher has been fully red pilled for a long time now. Jesus Christ I get being a fan of an entertainer but sometimes its okay to let it go. Youre not owning anyone by going down with the ship. You just look like a fool with bad taste.
