There are four Republicans more reliable than this Democrat.
Let me guess....he voted not to limit his war powers?
correct
cast the deciding vote against the latest effort to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to attack Iran
Parties (and/or the people) really need a way to recall member that runs on bad faith and switches after elections. From Sinema to Fetterman, there's always at least one fraud in the DNC.
The DNC always have a "bad democrat" that jump lines while letting all the other mainline democrats vote in
They work it out, so they only lose the vote by 1, but if more were needed to lose, they would lose those by 1, while the rest pretend to be against it.
Duh. Fetterman is a MAGA dempublican ... nearly republican. Hell he practically might be full blown MAGA republican soon enough. He got the TDS now. Brain damage done him in.
Why are you guessing? The headline says that already.
Piece of absolute shit.
My conspiracy theory is he is paid to be the sacrificial lamb, if it weren't him it would be someone else. I am more angry at Schumer and then the rest of the Democrats for letting Schumer lead.
Yeah this is a well known tactic in the US government. Backdoor dealings outline how to make a split vote and pick a fall guy to protect the party's image.
I.e. the Democrats failing to stop Trump's war in Iran a few weeks ago where some random nobody was the fall guy that time. It looks like Democrats tried but failed and they can blame it on some inconsequential Rando who isn't up for reelection
The military industrial complex owns everything. The machine exists for their benefit.
Republican Senator John Fetterman
He’s GOP. Let’s drop the DINO nonsense. Refer to him as a Republican.
There are no Republicans anymore, that was just their larval stage before they morphed into their final form - MAGA. Republicans should only be referred to in an historical or scholarly context.
The Republican party is as dead as the Whigs. They're all MAGA now.
There needs to be recalls on elected officials who drastically change their views like this fuckup.
He basically turned into a Con and still got to remain in his position!
"Rotating villain strategy" would like a word with you
I knew that he was a piece of shit from the start, because of his stance on fracking and Israel.
It's what happens when neither the press nor the party actually vet candidates. Instead they ignore any compromising history and then collaborate with them to sell the public a new image.
He has always been a lazy contrarian. His dad basically paid for his first public office as mayor where he did nothing for the town but raise cost of living by marketing the town as a vacation spot for tourist. During this tenure he also held one of his constituents at going point for the crime of being a poc and jogging near his home.
As Lt governor he was out of office 115 days out of the year and only had 4-5 hour days the time he chose to show up. He was also largely absent from presiding over the state Senate....which he was legally required to do.
Anyone who's ever worked with him has gone on the record about how he doesn't want to do anything unless he gets to do it his way, even if his way is the worst way possible. He's just a spoiled nepo baby pretending to be blue collar. His dad is literally a CEO and owner of a huge insurance company, is a large conservative donor, and bankrolled his sons life well into his 40s.
What a fucking piece of shit.
Its just too fishy that there is always, conveniently, a singlr dem vote in the senate to support right wing bullshit.
That's called rotating villain strategy.
I don't think all Democrats are working directly with MAGA. But I'd believe it if these Republicans hiding in the Democrat party meet together to find the absolute minimum number that would need to support MAGA bills to get them to pass. They probably cycle who betrays US citizens so they can deny claims they only ever vote MAGA.
This kind of maneuvering is exactly what the elected officials spend all their time doing, and no they don't spend any time actually writing laws. Laws are written by corporations and sold to the politicians who are just playing a dumb fucking popularity game.
The war powers resolution failed 49 to 50 as the Pennsylvanian was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans who control the Senate. Three Republicans — U.S. Sens. Rand Paul, of Kentucky; Susan Collins, of Maine; and Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska — voted with Democrats.
Saying that Fetterman's vote was deciding is silly, when it was a 49 to 50 vote - every vote was deciding.
And the Republican dissenter votes are purely performative. They pull this shit all the time, with the same persons. Who would never vote against their party, if the vote could truly fail. Especially Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski do this all the time. Hence the people here blaming the Democrats for being captured are sheep being tricked by the Republican performance.
Literally the opposite of what he was elected to do. Such a shame. He’s a piece of shit, and I hope the worst for him.
I voted for him and I've never felt so betrayed by a politician I was actually kinda cool with being in a position of power.
After his flip to the dark side post election, I honestly don't know why there aren't a lot more people cosplaying as Republicans. That side is so easily duped that anyone who comes out faking hate for moinorities, or claiming the government is a swamp you could easily win and then just flip afterwards.
I do have a friend who ran for county judge as a Democrat and was defeated. Four years later, she ran as a Republican and won. Her politics are the same as ever, but that (R) on the ticket makes the locals fill in her bubble every time she's up for reelection.
Bet he fucked kids
So if he had another stroke, would he go further right-wing, or would it reverse the process?
Hoping for locked in syndrome, until whoever still gives a shit about him gets sick of wiping his ass for him and pulls the plug.
Can we start calling him Fecalman? Cause he's like a walking piece of shit yeah?
Yet another unfortunate Fetterman L
I cannot wait to be rid of this dishonest jackass. Dude was always blood thirsty and corrupt but masqueraded as a progressive and now the brain damage has him dancing for republican bribes. I really hope voters hold him responsible for this betrayal. They didnt hold him responsible for his abuses of power in the past, but I think the tide may have turned for him. Too bad these Senate terms are so long.
I wish there was a way to get them out of office. Too bad the US system doesn’t have a vote of no confidence.
I guess the only way is to sue him for misrepresentation since he changed parties after being voted by the Democrats.
Fetterman is a piece of shit, but ANY single vote would have been the deciding vote. I don't care for headlines that try to pin the blame / credit for this kind of thing on a single person
I'm betting he was the ONLY democrat. Yep. ONLY democrat. That's why this is significant.
Like Fetterman, his stroke didn't do its job well enough.
