Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All it takes to become a Rebublican is a severe brain injury.
Coincidentally, also all it takes to end a Republican
That one is intentional.
Tough to say because Dr. Oz would have become Senator then.
I've been thinking recently about whether Oz would have been better as a PA senator, hindsight is a bitch. Fetterman is getting rightfully lit up in the news over basically everything recently. Has he made a difference for good on any policy versus what we could reasonably predict Oz would have done as senator?

He's probably doing more damage as head of Medicare and Medicaid then he would have as a senator. Maybe both would have happened, but there was more opportunity for him to fall out of Trump's graces if he had been in government for a few years.
Despite Fetterman’s turncoating, he has still voted with democrats most of the time. Oz would have voted MAGA on every bill. Fetterman sucks but Oz would have been worse.
Not if he’s afraid to leave his house.
Which he wouldn't be.
What exactly is a MAGA hangout? A strip club with underage dancers that exclusively plays Kid Rock?
Haha, big funny, but literally downplaying and distracting from the real situation.
The place is called Butterworth's and it's where a lot of the top magas meet people outside official channels. They sit around in suits eating caviar and planning how they're going to break the world. A photojournalist could literally camp outside and basically show the world who is conspiring and lay out who is setting things up to fall. But they don't, and that should be pretty telling to people, if they knew.
On top of that the resturant is part owned by Nigel Farage, a racist brexit politician. You can just sit there and see different ambassadors walk in to chat up some of the most vile people in politics, and then not long after something horrendus is announced.
It's basically forecast for who will be involved in bad things to come. Articles like this are trying to point this out. And you making joke about it is literally helping them to get people not to look further into the situation.
"Hi, Butterworth's? I'd like to reserve a table for one, please. Any time you're busy will do."
And cocaine. Lots of cocaine. All the waiters are undocumented.
Probably some bootleg Cialis in bowls on each table.

Fetterman: Proving that the more brain damage you have, the more MAGA you get.
The democrats should purge the party of these republicans dressed up (and not even convincingly) as democrats, but instead democrats welcome such characters with open arms and will promote them over progressives. If they want to stop people from thinking both parties are the same, they should really do something about this.
The Democrats want Fetterman and Friends to be in power. They want to enable the Fascists. This is intentionally and by design. The Democrats represent the same oligarchies interests like the Republicans.
They will not do anything about this, unless forced to. This is why it is crucial to build up an actually progressive third party and apply proper pressure from within the Democrats too, instead of all this "vote blue no matter who" bootlicking we have seen over the past years.
Exactly this.
Say it with me. Both. Parties.
Forget the Democrats, the system as a whole needs to be rethought. Your elected representative should have to serve your wants and needs within a relatively narrow guardrail.
Stupid hoodie ass clown.
There’s 2 things that annoy me about that. Well. 3.
The first is that even if his district isn’t filled with suites, they still would put on a suit or best they got for formal affairs and maybe do business casual.
They certainly would clean their clothes. Most days he looks like a slob with food stains and whatever else.
The third thing is it’s entirely possible to get suited tailored to your size. And it’s not that expensive, and we know he should be able to afford it on his salary.
It's basically just "I'm like you guys" theater.
Doesn’t explain the foodstains.
If that’s a recent development, I’d give him a little grace because of the stroke (it doesn’t excuse turning fascist, but it does excuse messy eating). If not, he’s just a slob.
I will never support another politician again.
Fuck ugh Fetterman.
That was the plan...
He’s switching parties, I’m calling it now
