I remember when people were so excited to elect this guy. Hate to say I told you so, but I predicted he would be the second coming of Sinema.

Yeah, because he was running against Mehmet Oz, who is RFKJR with medical credentials, somehow, and a disgrace to all turks everywhere.
Fun fact, my dad tried to paint him as a turkish role model/aspirational figure, back when he was more well known for surgery and being on Oprah.
Instead, you got brain-dead Mehmet Oz.
Quite the trade.
right, however, before his brain injury Fett was a union man, etc.
Seeing as how there are always designated no votes in the Democratic Party at the Federal level, and you've seen this since the 90's, I don't think the TBI is the reason why he's voting conservative. He's getting personally enriched, just like all the other rotating villains.
I gauge things through his spouse and how she was a large part of his popularity and momentum on the campaign trail, especially after the stroke and the primary.
So on some level people were kind of voting for her. And she's pretty much disappeared.
Interesting.
I'd honestly never heard about that detail before. I'll have to read more about him.
The problem nowadays is nobody wants to work...
Bring back Al Franken, this guy sucks shit.
We don't deserve Al. He walked away.
And through a kid straw
Then quit if you don't wanna work fucktard
He wants the role and title, but not the job.
I'm not American but it seems that the article focuses too much on the bill. His Wikipedia page is kinda decent for a politician, or am I missing something?
Edit: Downvote me and don't explain since I'm a fucking foreign guy, pure reddit moment, I'm lovin it.
He started off as someone who seemed to buck the system and has since basically gained RFK's brainworms.
Oooh. Umm. Correlation vs causation or... like.. you know.. Right wing selfish bastards is a brain wiring problem? Awwwsheeeeat!
He turned into a DINO after a traumatic brain injury
this comment has had government funding revoked
he had a stroke and has gone off the deepend ever since
After his stroke his spouse became a strong component of his campaign. She seemed more progressive speaking on his behalf.
At that point though it was all hands on deck to prevent Oz and the GOP winning.
When Sinema left the GOP had to have controlled opposition with Manchin and Fetterman was her replacement.
This is the way. There's always gotta be a Feinstein, or a Manchin, or a Sinema. Otherwise how will the rubes ever swallow all of the Democrats' excuses?
