John Fetterman Joins Truth Social to Call for Trump Pardon
John Fetterman Joins Truth Social to Call for Trump Pardon
'Can't believe I ever liked this dude.'
The "Brain damage made me conservative" guy weighing in again.
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.
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.
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.
At least now he seems to be being honest and telling us the kind of shitty person he really is
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what grievance politics leads to. Cenk*, Anna, Fetterman, Dore, etc, when you think of criticism as competition to get to the top, or you think of one person's success as a lack of your own, the only path is towards right wing grift.
Jenk, as in Cenk Uygur from The Young Turks turned to the right?
Sorry, Cenk, not Jenk. The point isn't that all of these people have become right wingers only that once grievance politics begins, that's where it ends if there is no reconciliation. Anna and Cenk both double down and treat other members of the left as competition rather than allies. This will drive them from the movement sooner or later.
When your calculus about why people are critiquing something you say is that they want to lower your status so that they can replace you, you've got a very different reaction, and one that will not involve actual engagement with the criticism. If you look at it from that point of view, their takes start to make more sense.
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!
I think this is a lesson for those of us who support economic populism: even though many, if not most Americans agree on many economic issues, we don't agree on everything. I don't know that we can say we have a majority consensus movement. I think there is a movement that has a plurality, and that's the Trump movement. As much as many of us might find that pretty disheartening, I think it is nonetheless true. Of the two main populist movements in the US, the progressive populist movement is simply not as large as the right-wing, Trump populist movement. I don't know if people like Fetterman are just more aligned with the Trump movement ideologically, or if they're moving to the larger populist movement for strategic reasons.
This is what happens when liberals VBNMW and ignore the shot they did in their past.
He doesn't cycle till 2028, so this isn't tactical, it's strategic. Maybe Fetterman looks toward national office? Anyway, I hope he's making a mistake, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Does anybody know the political leanings of his healthcare team after that stroke? Did they influence his fractured mind as it was healing? I wonder if 'stroke' is the new doublespeak word for reconditioning at a CIA black site.

/jokes for the too-serious minded.
