I admire Fettermans ability to talk out of one side of his face while gargling trumps balls with the other side.

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 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!

Regular people do talk about oligarchs, asshole.
I don't think my opinion of anyone has even changed so quickly and so throughoughly before as it has for Fetterman.
Fuck you dude. Fuck you and your hoodie. I'm ashamed to have shaken your hand.
This is who he's always been.
Manny have said that, but I didn't buy it. I lived in PA and volunteered for his campaign when he first ran for for Senate in 2016. I've met him in person and had actual face to face conversations with him when he visited the campaign office I was at multiple times. I don't recognize the man I hear talking today. That stroke changed him in a fundamental way.
I agree.
Your agreement is a weird klaxon, an example of personal ignorance, and frankly a human’s version of a red flag... add to it that you post shit like Fox news. It’s a weird thing that others should avoid if they have critical thinking skills.
Even with Fetterman suffering a stroke and proving he’s not worth it… it’s worth it to point this out.
Fuck fetterman. Don't give that worthless piece of shit the recognition.
Haha fuck off cunt. You’re a fucking quisling. I’m fuckin’ done giving you a pass cuz you had a stroke. You not only refuse to seek help, but you also refuse to understand or admit you have a problem.
What was on fetterman's hard drive, I wonder...
Fuck you Fetterman. Just another corporate Dem coward - with some populist show boating.
Sure, let me talk like a regular person then.
Go fuck yourself Fetterman and eat a bag of dicks.
And not a regular bag of dicks, jumbo sized syphilitic dicks.
Could they be lightly salted?
With extra scabs and puss discharge!
Crazy how brain damage reliably makes people conservative. There’s something about that ideology that’s fundamentally perfectly appealing to incredibly stupid people, and ridiculous to smart people. For fascist morons by fascist morons
Apart from Fetterman just being a consistent left-punching conservative asshole, he's now doing active propaganda for Fox. You don't go on Fox to drop some Real Talk for your fellow Democrats, you do it to reinforce conservative propaganda.
He's speed running the Tulsi Gabbard path.
This guy disappoints me more and more every day
He's such a douchebag.
Can you believe that Dr. Oz was somehow the more honest conman, despite everything he did?
Normal people? Trump is pimping Tesla's at the White House. What's normal?
The regular people seem to be using the word "oligarch" pretty often nowadays. Maybe he needs to actually talk to some regular people?
I'm thinking that he thinks "regular" people are people like fElon and assholes that give him a soft job on the regular, like Joe Rogan.
He'd have to leave his rich person's house and have someone drive him out of his rich person's neighborhood to do that.
Who cares. All the dems do is talk anyway.
Suppose they could post on Lemmy instead …
Not true. Why right now they’re trying to find a way to pass the Republican budget and screw us all over without taking blame.
Shit, you got me there.
Says the rich fucker with a $50m net worth inherited from mommy and daddy. You mean talk like you? That traumatic brain injury really did a number it seems. How many people are running the government with brain damage now? I can think of at least 10 off the top of my head.
One of 'ems got a worm in there, does that count?
Yup
Get fucked, asshole.
Somebody needs to punch him in the dick.
What a traitor
I, for one, appreciate that he said that.
As with Felon Drink Bleach, it's important to do the opposite of what Nazis demand.
All the more reason why we should all constantly discuss the problem of the oligarchs.
So I'm completely out of the loop as a west coaster. What did Fettermam do? Coulda sworn people adored him when he got elected
He went hardline right-wing after a stroke
How about, "Y'all are starring in the World's Biggest Gangrape -- a GOP Production."
I am not a regular person I guess.
