    Is Trump derangement syndrome like when Trump went on and on about Obama’s birth certificate for years? Strange because the only purpose of that was racism. Now, people have push back on Trump for real reasons. Fetterman prefers the bad faith arguments.

    I know everyone points to his stroke as the reason why he behaves this way today, but I sure as hell remember him still being a reasonable human being between the time of his stroke and being elected. I think it’s just a convenient excuse to cover up the fact that he’s been either been bought out by AIPAC, or was a GOP plant all along. Either way, I wish people would stop bringing up the stroke as the reason he’s such a fuckwad today.

        Yep. Pennsylvania is called Pennsyltucky for a reason. There’s also a point where the biggest population of the KKK was once in Pennsylvania.

            I think that it was actually Oregon.

            As a territory, Oregon was segregated to the point where black people were not allowed in the state at all.

            Oregon joined the Union with an exclusion law in place.

            It’s still a hot bed of white supremacy.

      I agree. It wasn’t the stroke. He’s just a piece of shit and once he got access to some power the mask came flying off.

      One of a long line of fake progressives who had the audacity to promise what we desperately need and the cruelly deny us once in office. It hurts that so few of them are legitimate actors.

      That is incorrect, he was always a piece of shit, he was play acting at not being. I know because he supported fracking the entire time.

    “I am literally the only Democrat in America, in Congress, that I’ve come across that’s saying, ‘I think it’s a great thing to break and destroy the Iranian regime,’” he added.

    There are plenty of Democrats who have often supported a US interventionist foreign policy. There are plenty of Democrats who are perfectly fine with letting Israel direct US policy regarding the Middle East. This has led many Democrats to support terrible foreign policy decisions, like the Iraq war. To their credit, many Democrats are finally starting to wise up and learn from these past mistakes. They’re ever so slowly starting to realize that it might not be such a great idea to keep making the same devastating blunders, over and over and over again.

    Unfortunately, men like Fetterman and Trump are not big on learning or wisdom. They’re too fucking stupid to realize that they haven’t destroyed the Iranian regime, they’ve certainly strengthened it. All they’ve done is put a younger Ayatollah in power with even more reason to hate the US and Israel. Congratulations, you’re an idiot. But they have weakened the global economy! So there’s that.

    It would be sick if the Iranian Quds Force ninjas were to infiltrate his lair and behead him, ending the ogre’s reign of terror forever

      $$$

      Run of the mill republicans do t get near as much money as a D that will vote with Republicans.

      Not to mention the attention.

      If he was a Republican, no one would know his name, he’d just blend in

      Because a fascist cosplaying as a Democrat does more damage than just outright joining the fascist party.
