Bring back Al Franken, this guy sucks shit.

[-] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

We don't deserve Al. He walked away.

And through a kid straw

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 38 points 7 months ago

Then quit if you don't wanna work fucktard

[-] Tehbaz@lemmy.wtf 25 points 7 months ago

Someone shoot this asshole already.

I'm not American but it seems that the article focuses too much on the bill. His Wikipedia page is kinda decent for a politician, or am I missing something?

Edit: Downvote me and don't explain since I'm a fucking foreign guy, pure reddit moment, I'm lovin it.

he had a stroke and has gone off the deepend ever since

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 20 points 7 months ago

He turned into a DINO after a traumatic brain injury

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

this comment has had government funding revoked

[-] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 7 months ago

He started off as someone who seemed to buck the system and has since basically gained RFK's brainworms.

[-] justlemmyin@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Oooh. Umm. Correlation vs causation or... like.. you know.. Right wing selfish bastards is a brain wiring problem? Awwwsheeeeat!

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

After his stroke his spouse became a strong component of his campaign. She seemed more progressive speaking on his behalf.

At that point though it was all hands on deck to prevent Oz and the GOP winning.

[-] IronJess@lemmy.today 11 points 7 months ago

When Sinema left the GOP had to have controlled opposition with Manchin and Fetterman was her replacement.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

This is the way. There's always gotta be a Feinstein, or a Manchin, or a Sinema. Otherwise how will the rubes ever swallow all of the Democrats' excuses?

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

The problem nowadays is nobody wants to work...

[-] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

He wants the role and title, but not the job.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

I remember when people were so excited to elect this guy. Hate to say I told you so, but I predicted he would be the second coming of Sinema.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I remember when people were so excited to elect this guy.

Yeah, because he was running against Mehmet Oz, who is RFKJR with medical credentials, somehow, and a disgrace to all turks everywhere.

Fun fact, my dad tried to paint him as a turkish role model/aspirational figure, back when he was more well known for surgery and being on Oprah.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

Instead, you got brain-dead Mehmet Oz.

Quite the trade.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

right, however, before his brain injury Fett was a union man, etc.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Seeing as how there are always designated no votes in the Democratic Party at the Federal level, and you've seen this since the 90's, I don't think the TBI is the reason why he's voting conservative. He's getting personally enriched, just like all the other rotating villains.

[-] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Yea I was one of them. Boy did I get that wrong
