The “Brain damage made me conservative” guy weighing in again.
How bad was his stroke?
See the “some more news” video on this guy. He was probably conservative all along but hid it well till recently
Stroking himself all the way to the bank
Not bad enough apparently. It would have been better for us if he wasn’t active politically anymore.
What a piece of shit, pardoning Trump would do nothing to slow him down from destroying every social advancement made since 1920.
That’s not Fetterman, Fetterman died.
This dude needs to be ‘primaried’ back to the stone age.
Unfortunately the other option was Oz.
Disgusting. Fuck this dude.
This matches up with him saying “good night” as his very first line in that debate.
That was an oopsie, but now he seems to have taken the conservative route of, identify with saying the opposite of reality instead of getting better at stating reality.
Fucking Class traitor. Coyote in sheep’s clothing.

In 2013, Fetterman pursued a man and pulled a shotgun on him because he wrongly believed the man, who turned out to be a Black jogger, had been involved in a shooting.
Miyares also told The Inquirer their encounter shouldn’t stop Fetterman from becoming a senator.
“Even with everything I said, it is inhumane to believe one mistake should define a man’s life,” Miyares wrote in one of two letters sent to The Inquirer. “I hope he gets to be a Senator.” (That last line was underlined three times.)
Miyares didn’t expect Fetterman to change his account.
“Telling the truth on an incident 10 years ago could cause him more harm than good,” Miyares wrote. “Mr. Fetterman and his family have done far more good than that one bad act or action and, as such, should not be defined by it.”
He signed that letter: “Gooo Fetterman.”
Took an interesting turn. And then another right away
Where is Miyares now?
Miyares wrote to The Inquirer in response to a letter seeking his side of the story. Miyares is serving an 18- to 36-month sentence after being convicted in 2019 of kidnapping, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint, and other crimes against a woman who hired him for a ride to work.
According to the criminal complaint, the victim told investigators Miyares pulled out a knife after asking her a series of personal questions, driving a route not in the direction of her job, and locking all the car doors. She forced her door open, escaped, and flagged down nearby drivers for help as Miyares drove off. He later sent her a text message saying he knew where she lived and worked.
Wtf
This is who he’s always been, but liberals were blinded by the D in front of his name and chose to ignore the shit he did before getting elected.
Yes he sucks now, but your lazy take is revisionist history.
His noggin seems to be fully healed after his stroke: he’s now a fully-functional politician once again, with perfectly working lying, backstabbing, flip-flopping and sycophantic brain functions.
Wish we all had access to this level of healthcare so we could all go back to performing our job to the fullest of our abilities like he does.
He just can’t stop being fuckwit. He’s just another Manchin and just needs to become a Republican and GTFO.
He ran around calling himself progressive and talking about all the progressive stuff the country needs…
But all it took was a stroke and a little brain damage for him to go full maga, now he honestly and repeatedly says he doesn’t understand why people ever thought he was progressive.
I think the brain damage made him forget that he was willfully lying about being progressive.
He was never a democrat, people just love a scammer. He his that, passed a lot of money through his organization.
He was though, in his presentation at least. I still remember him giving this interview in front of a Wawa off the freeway when he was first gaining national prominence - message that felt so strongly progressive yet could be so really absorbed by the broader population.
Fetterman died from that stroke, this is John NOTOURman
He seemed more like a maga person when he chased a black for going on a run.
At the height of the presidential election campaign, I got down voted for pointing out at Fetterman and Tulsi Gabbard as examples that there are Democrats who flip, because they rail on “vote blue no matter who”. After Trump won his second term, I don’t see those die-hard types anymore. They finally admit that the Democratic party is compromised through and through, and that only a progressive takeover of the party will solve the problems that arose.
The problem is people are trying to beat republicans by being just like them. Republicans stand or kill their own. That created Trump, dems want to do the samething. Normal people need to start running again and need support.
The days of trying to court both sides and moderates have long gone past. It now requires more radical changes. If Democrats indeed want to win again, they have to go further left. The Republicans have rightly deduced that people want drastic change so they are unafraid to go further right (probably also because of influence from the Tea Party movement). Democrats need to go more populist like the Republicans have.
They don’t need to “win”. The money keeps coming either way.
If Democrats indeed want to win again, they have to go further left.
The basic problem is that the Democratic Party isn’t at all inclined to go left. The people who run it and fund it want a centre-right party to be the only alternative to the far-right party. Left-wing politics doesn’t funnel the money to where they want it to be. So the best they can do is tease people with a vague promise of progressivism, in order to win votes, but with no real intention or commitnent to deliver on it.
Problem is, the nightmare scenario of a second Trump term has already arrived. I don’t know if there will be further elections, I assume there will be and act as such. If there are then guess what? The nightmare is already here, and the disaster is already actively destroying the country, so tax credits for starting a small business or whatever the fuck aren’t cutting it anymore. I want actual governmental reform.
They can either go left or they can fuck right off. Absolutely nobody will buy the “most important election of our lifetimes” bullshit again after whatever happens next year.
There will continue to be elections. They just won’t be free and fair, particularly in states with Republican control.
Well let’s hope it wakes them up. I’m sure there are senior Democrats thinking, “Trump will make a mess and anger people, so we’ll just ride this out until we can get reelected then back to business as usual.” And “He won’t abolish/undermine elections -that’s just talk.” Some of them will never learn, because they deeply don’t want to.
the Democratic party is compromised through and through
Always has been.
I wouldn’t be upset if he had another stroke at this point.
Its funny how brain injury tends to turn people right.
No it doesn’t. I had a TBI and went further left.
maybe it has to be combined with excess money.
Well I definitely don’t have that lol
Maybe it will fix whatever got broke the first time
At least now he seems to be being honest and telling us the kind of shitty person he really is
Still better than Oz would have been.
Sure but that’s like saying “at least it’s not pancreatic cancer” when you have a brain tumor.
at least it’s not pancreatic cancer
I almost wonder if things would have been better if Oz did get elected. Like when Massachusetts elected Scott Brown but then replaced him with Elizabeth Warren.
That’s a fair point!
