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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It always involves paranoia, which leads to conspiracies, which fundamentalism of any religion is full of.
There already exists several NIH studies and even a meta analysis linking brain damage with conservative changes in political opinion.
Yeah he needs to quit
i feel like the oncoming American Spring is about to show people like fett what it means to shit the bed in historical times. i still have hope, but this summer is going to be a hot one. hoping for some good music to come of it all.
"American Spring" hahaha that's a good one. We're going to continue to collectively sit on our asses riding the wave of fascism right into hell while eating Wendy's and playing Xbox.
You are.. you don't speak for us who are protesting
Also, I can protest and play XBOX with Wendy's.
Yeah! I can even get Cheeto fingers while I do both!
On Tuesday, Fetterman said that the New York magazine article was built on “one source” with “a couple anonymous sources,” describing it as a “hit piece from a very left publication.”
Countdown to Fetterman switching parties in 3 .... 2 ....
Didn't he switch ages ago in all but name?
There is definitely something wrong with this guy. He is crashing hard.
TBIs can significantly change your personality. Having a stroke - especially a serious one - is essentially a TBI.
Can his district initiate a recall vote?
He's a senator, so it would be the state of Pennsylvania.
From my googling, there's no legal mechanism in Pennsylvania to recall an elected official. However, even if there was, recalling a member of the U.S. Congress would be unconstitutional.
The Senate would have to throw him out, and that's not likely as long as the Republicans benefit from having him there.
I think it should be up to the Democratic caucus then the State has to have a referendum on whether or not he stays.
The state has no say in the matter. Neither does the Democratic caucus. The Constitution defines the circumstances under which a member of Congress could be removed. The only way to change that would be via an amendment to the Constitution.
Where's Luigi when you need him?
Remember how he was considered the sane and progressive choice because the media hid his racism, sexism, and classism, so they can blame a stroke instead?
I caught on to his bullshit pretty quick when he came into the public eye - before his stroke. Is there a lot of evidence pointing to his past misconduct?
Some More News did a great job covering all his bullshit from before his Senate run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28M_zkoAGQM
Thanks.
Fetterman never asked for this.
He wants to stand in his garage sipping a beer.
Thats certainly who he pretends to be.
It feels more and more like the tv show BrainDead (2016) was a documentary. Shame more people didn't see it.
Great show!
It would make me feel better about humanity if it was the same reason as the show.
Such a bummer that show got cancelled.
Completely forgot it existed until just now... Damn
You know, wild, insane conspiracy theory, but maybe the mental breakdown is more than just aftereffects from the stroke.
What if some republican patsy at a three letter agency has some serious blackmail on him? He's a public figure, his actions easily scrutinized. As a senator his time, statements, and votes are public, and the government itself is doing the blackmail, so he can't turn to anyone. If he resigns they release the blackmail. The only way to not have the blackmail released is to fake these issues. Or maybe the pressure is actually breaking him, who knows.
It's not that complex, he's always been a POS even before his stroke, the stroke just disinhibited him. Plus paranoia and paranoid delusions are symptoms of brain damage
Or maybe he's a democrat so this is who he was the whole fucking time.
