Trump and Epstein raped those kids

There are four Republicans more reliable than this Democrat.

Can we start calling him Fecalman? Cause he's like a walking piece of shit yeah?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Fetidman works too

[-] plz1@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

So if he had another stroke, would he go further right-wing, or would it reverse the process?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Dunno, better overthrow the whole rotten system that enables him. Just to be sure 🤷🏻

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

[-] iocase@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Yet another unfortunate Fetterman L

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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!

[-] 7101334@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

"Rotating villain strategy" would like a word with you

Republican Senator John Fetterman

[-] chilicheeselies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Its just too fishy that there is always, conveniently, a singlr dem vote in the senate to support right wing bullshit.

[-] 7101334@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's called rotating villain strategy.

[-] JTT@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

Let me guess....he voted not to limit his war powers?

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 week ago

The DNC always have a "bad democrat" that jump lines while letting all the other mainline democrats vote in

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Lieberman retired so we had to have someone to take his place.

[-] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago
[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I thought of him after I wrote that. Does anyone know if Fetterman has a trawler he can yell at reporters from the back of?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

We should buy him a caboose at the Amtrak

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.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lieberman, Manchin, Sinema, and now Fettermann. - All Democrats in name only who are really Republican plants.

What do Democrats have as alternatives? Liz "fucking" Cheny and Adam Kinzinger??? Marjorie Taylor Greene???

😞

People like Fetterman and Sinema prove that the Democratic party is controlled opposition at this point. When GOP congress critters go against their party platform they get kicked the fuck out. Their leadership tears into them and turns the base against them.

The Democratic party leadership is bullshitting us. They use token dissenters to get out of taking a stand. Schumer and Jeffries and Ken Martin are allowing the fascists to run the show with no pushback.

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

We got Massie too, kinda, only so far as the Epstein stuff. He'd otherwise watch you suffer and die from a preventable healthcare issue while big corpo buys up every last inch of country.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No, Manchin is very different from Sinema and Fetterman.

There was no chance of a progressive, or really even a democrat in Manchin's seat. Manchin never really changed what he was.

Sinema ran as a progressive and then went mask off. ~~Similarly for Fetterman, just a slightly different cause.~~

[-] Eldritch@piefed.world 1 points 1 week ago

Fetterman ran as someone that actually lived in PA and as not Mehmet Oz. Anything more than that was voters projecting what they wanted to see. Previously Fetterman was a known bully and dumbass in the PA offices he held. Which wasn't a problem when he was bullying up against Oz. People saw that and hoped he'd be a fighter for them. Best he could do was fight against them though.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Added a strikeout. I shouldn't have spoken of Fetterman.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

So I like kinzinger better than manchin, sinema, and fetterman for one reason. He strikes me as more honest. Let's be clear given a choice between kinzinger, mancgin/sinema/any of them, or a random person/feral cat, I'd vote for the feral cat.

Bet he fucked kids

[-] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] santa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

He’s GOP. Let’s drop the DINO nonsense. Refer to him as a Republican.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] santa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

That’s a superb point!

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

please tell me he's getting primaried?
