I hope he runs for president.
Incredibly and with a perfectly straight face, they’d dog him for his mental and physical health.
He’s too real. The electorate craves lies.
this is why the conservative perverts voted for the fake tv businessman who does crimes (Trump) rather than the real businessman (Romney) who does things that should be crimes.

So my kid had an end of year project on someone famous from the state he was assigned to research and present. He got Pennsylvania. I immediately said, “you’re doing John Fetterman. He’s badass. Here lemme show you why..” and my kid was all about it. The kids dressed up as their famous person and I got the whole getup. Sweatshirt, athletic shorts, bald cap, stick on goatee, custom made rub on tattoos to match. That was really fun and John Fetterman is bad fucking ass. He should be president.
I love how I started reading this comment in my mind's voice and it turned into the voice of some dude from my youth telling me how awesome Pearl Jam is.
Could you briefly explain why he’s so badass? As I know a little bit about him, but haven’t actually looked into him at all.
I’m not OP and I’m not American so I don’t know anything about his policies, but I know he suffers from depression and has been very open about it. I believe he checked himself into a psych facility not long after he was elected. I thought his honesty and openness about it as a man with a kinda macho image was refreshing to see and a good example against toxic masculinity.
Fetterman was the mayor of Braddock PA, a place I'm rather familiar with, for a long time. Braddock was/is a forgotten borough of Pittsburgh that's long past its glory days. Fetterman came in and wanted to clean up Braddock. How effective he's been has been up to debate, but the man really was a strong voice for Braddock and showed that he really cared. For every violent death that happened in Braddock while he was mayor, he'd get a tattoo of the date on his arm. He also got arrested for protesting the local hospital (UPMC), to get them to bring an urgent care center to Braddock.
Personally I think he's improved Braddock. He helped bring in a few new businesses, and it's helped liven the place up a bit. But it's still a rough neighborhood that needs a lot of work.

Why does Fetterman, the largest senator, not simply eat the other senators?

Who expected a sitting senator to use the phrase circle jerk?
I find it refreshing to be honest. He's definitely not weaseling the answer with slippery language.

Fetterman is pretty down with it.
For the dirst time in a long time, I'm proud of a person who represents me in the government.
Dude has never pulled his punches.

Have they found anything they could actually impeach Biden over, or do they just hope that something comes out of the nowhere once they start the process? This whole impeachment stuff sound to me just like Trumps lawsuits for "stealing my vote" and the whole "I'll hold a press conference where I will present irrefutable evidence" stuff.
Both. They scream “BiDeN cRiMe FaMiLy!” To distract from trumps corrupt ass kids being literally employed in the White House. Like dude said trump has 4 indictments…
However I am also sure they are desperate to find anything they can twist into scandal regardless of substance. They investigated Clinton for 25 years before settling on a blowjob.
Remember Trump blackmailing Zelensky to make up dirt on Biden? Nothing. Remember Hunter’s laptop? Nothing. They will keep fishing because they would prefer that over doing jackshit for the average citizen.

McCarthy has admitted a few different times now that they have literally zero evidence to serve as a basis for an investigation or implement
I'm sure they'll eventually find something. The Clinton impeachment investigation didn't set out to find anything about his affairs, it was some land deal that turned out to be on the up and up after all.
The point is, they just want to investigate, bog the White House down with discovery, leak anything embarrassing (I'm sure there's a ton more Hunter stuff to leak), and I'm sure they'll eventually find something that sorta kinda looks like a crime (or obstruction), because if you investigate anyone you'll find something eventually.
It's basically about hurting Biden politically, and painting Biden as a criminal, so the uninformed voter can just say 'they're both the same'.

That dude seems to be a good one.
Im from near where he was mayor. When we were trying to get mandatory paid sick time passed in the city of Pittsburgh John came and walked the line with us. He once went on the daily show to outline his plan to get a subway to open in the little hood-ass town he was mayor of, because there was no place in that town where you could get ready to eat food and he was trying to stop tax money leaking out to other towns. Dude has a tattoo for each person who died by violence in his town while he was mayor. He's no bullshit.

My money is on McCarthy running the inquiry so the far right will be forced to fund the government. Can’t run a government inquiry if the government has shut down. MTG has already taken the bate and has said she’d fund the government in exchange for an inquiry.
Go away, 'bating
This typo stays.

Need more Dems like this.
Should’ve used a more recent photo of him with the stache. It looks awesome.

Common Fetterperson W
He would have had to commit a crime to be impeached. What crime did he commit, Republicans?
He had a son who's a fuckup. Not like Trump, whose children are definitely not fuckups.
Not fuckups at all.

Can the US just institute a yearly recurring "impeachment day" holiday where you impeach the current president? It will make things so much easier to schedule around, and we know that from now on every president from both parties will be threatened by impeachment anyway.
