He forgor πŸ’€

It says the wife "WAS" undocumented. I don't care enough to look up what happened there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

She spent 15 years here illegally after overstaying a visa. As a side note, 40% of people here illegally overstayed visas and did not cross a border by illegal means.

Abolish fetterman, he's a lunatic and pathological liar. He only won his seat cause he ran a fake campaign as a Democrat then dramatically pulled a u turn on us.

Also he dresses like a slob, grow up fAtterman

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 minutes ago

Also he was running against fucking Dr. Oz

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

I'm 100% with ya until the dressing part. I don't care how people dress as long as they get the job done (see Zelensky). Now, he is a fuckwad for running on one platform and flipping to the other, but that's unrelated to his dress code. I remember thinking he was a good one for not giving a shit about appearances and only about making people's lives better.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 hours ago

people say he changed for the worse after his stroke, but it seems like he was always a bad politician and a teensy beensy bit of a freak who chased a black jogger with a shotgun.

so i feel its less that he turned bad and more like he got worse

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

One more stroke & he’s back as a progressive.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Monkey Paw:

He becomes so progressive, he's now support giving voting rights to AI.

Yes, each instance of Siri, each instance of Gemini, all get a vote.

And now Tim Apple becomes POTUS. (Because the US has the biggest iPhone Marketshare)

🫠

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You think that replacing trump, even with Tim Apple, would be a bad thing????

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Siri is useless … maybe we could have it as president

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Omg I would hate to be inappropriate and outrageous!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Nah, then he'll watch. 🀒

[–] [email protected] 130 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

I still cannot believe how wrong I was about John Fetterman.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

the alternative wouldve been MEMHET oz, but oz is in a position to do more harm than fetterman right now, it was a lose lose situation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

All we ever see on our ballots is two evils to pick from.

[–] [email protected] 76 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

He was different before his stroke. There are multiple studies that correlate frontal and midline lesions in the brain with right-wing authoritarianism.

I guess but I feel like supporting Gaza genocide isn’t something you just stroke into.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Nah, they're all having one while slurping up that Faux trooth.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know enough about Fetterman's past to make a judgement on how his stroke affected him, but you totally could. Brain damage can fundamentally change who you are as a person on every level, from memory to logic, or even spirituality. It can change or entirely destroy your ability to feel empathy, damping some emotions while amping up others. Strokes that fundamentally change personality like that are rare, but certainly not outside the realm of possibility.

There's a famous case of a guy who got a railroad spike blown through his frontal lobe and he basically became a huge asshole.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Phineas Gage if anyone wants to look the case up. Classic psychology and neurology tale.

Of course this happened before modern scientific standards and procedures were mainstream, so take everything with a grain of salt.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Actually, that’s kinda what these neuroscientists are finding happens.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Any evidence of it ever having the opposite effect?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

That tends to happen with books, but wisely applying their contents to the dome.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Strokes can break your brain and fundamentally change your personality and values. Idk if that actually happened here or if he was always actually a piece of shit. It doesn't matter ultimately. He's a shithead now.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

In our hate for Dr Oz, we accidentally raised up a separate monster.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Turns out both options were horrible monsters. As is tradition.

Americans still thinking they can primary themselves out of this situation is hilarious to me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Sometimes the lesser evil is still really evil.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

And still lesser.

I mean, I thought he was the best option during the primary, that was definitely wrong. And not everything can be blamed on the stroke.

You know someone's no longer talking in good faith when they use words like "inappropriate and outrageous" to describe the suggestion of abolishing a department that didn't exist 25 years ago. This is someone consciously and openly attempting to shift the Overton Window so that they don't keep getting called on to defend the indefensible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

John "Trump Signs Are PA's State Flower" Fetterman not talking in good faith? Say it ain't so!

My favorite Fetterman moment was when he castigated Democrats for mentioning trump's felony convictions, saying we were supposed to be the party of "forgiveness and redemption". Imagine consciously throwing away a political advantage like your opponent's crimes - it's like refusing to blink when your opponent throws sand in your eyes.

ICE is a bunch of cowards. If they were really removing violent and scary undocumented immigrants who break the law and don't pay taxes, you'd hear about more shootouts with ICE. Instead, it's farmers and young families who are working, or their kids. It's such a pity such these cowards got such a huge funding bump.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

ICE is a bunch of cowards.

Like all fascists.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Fuck ICE. The people that sign up for that sham of an organization peaked in high school and are mad at the world because of their irrelevance. Nobody loves or cares for these people. They exist to inflict pain to fill a void where a personality, ambitions, and empathy should be. They have nothing to give or contribute to the world.

[–] [email protected] 100 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

"Fuck you, got mine."

  • those guys
[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago

Every "conservative" is a closet narcissist. The only difference is they now feel comfortable tearing the mask off and no longer hiding behind the presumption they possess empathy or want what's best for other people.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

If his wife really is an immigrant someone should report that. Maybe a lot. Just so ice has all the info.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

She's apparently a good person who's as outraged at his behavior as the rest of us, so maybe don't do that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

And then call the local PD. 🍿

Jesus, John -- quit being a senator and just go record podcasts in your truck for a living.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Seriously fuck John Fetterman. What a bag of turds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Turds'd make better fertilizer, but he'll do.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Gisele should primary him.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Wish there was a 25th amendment for senators. This dude’s brain is melting out his ears

[–] [email protected] 18 points 19 hours ago

Nah, I think the whole progressive thing was his wife’s influence.

I’ve met too many assholes from York county who are just like him.
