God damn, I love that man. Everything he does is awesome. If Fetterman ran for president, he'd have my vote.
Fetter4Prez
Imagine this guy and Al Franken riffing off each other in the senate. What a goddamn shame.
Truly. Franken quits over a photo of miming touching a sleeping woman's breast's (not ok) then bobert finger bangs her date in a room full of kids and she's like "it's fine"
Say what you will about Boebert, but her getting to 2nd base was definitely consensual. Franken had half a dozen accusations of non-consensual kissing or touching.
I wish the guy was in the Senate far more than I wish Bobo was around, but yea these two did not do the same thing
Did you even read the New Yorker story you linked?
Did the kids around them consent to seeing that shit?
What about the smell?
yeah thats all fair, and I knew that when I was writing it, about consent.. frankly i should have not even posted i suppose
Fetterman should sell this debt to a collection agency.
I'd go to court for the meme value alone lol
Hahaha. I love his PS and I don't even like sports.
Too bad it's only $5k, if it was more he could pay it back in gold bars
He could get $5,000 in pennies and glue them together in the shape of gold bars
I get it that this is about the optics of not taking 'dirty money'... but the reality is that this just hurts Fetterman's campaign while giving Menendez back $5k.
I hope some day I mess up so badly that people I've given money to decide to return it to me...
Do you hear that Nelnet?!? I'm as crooked as they come!
Spending 5K on advertising would get 1/100th of the visibility of "spending" 5K by sending it back to Menedez. The only downside is Menendez gets the 5K and if it was 5K of glued together pennies he effectively wouldn't even be getting that.
Nelnet
Don't remind us lmao
By my measure, he's just beaten AOC in the troll index
But what about Gaetz, the Master Troll.
Edit: I take it back. He’s more of a Karen, right?
Gaetz is a diddler.
A million dollars across two decades as a senator is a relatively small sum, which leads one to question where the rest might be.
Other cash came from pre-approced sponsors ...
No issue with it
Fetterman is great. The only thing that would make him better would be a mustache. But I am biased.(grin)
“… The only thing that would make him better would be a baseball bat.” That’s how I expected that sentence to end. I have no idea why but I think it still makes sense!
People used to get beat in congress; Charles Sumner famously got beat unconscious by Preston Brooks in the run up to the US Civil War
fistfights occasionally happen in other parliaments; a big one in Taiwan comes to mind.
Kinda like an enforcer on a hockey team, so too do we need Fetterman to carry a bat.
You hate Klingons?
It reminds me of the Klingon facial hair too. LOL
But they do have great proverbs.
“Revenge is a dish best served cold”—Old Klingon proverb.
They also killed all their gods because they were inconvenient.
That p'taQ should focus on his own moustache rather than that of others!
