Or is he more of a Blue Dog Democrat?

Saw him on CNN earlier and he was basically talking like Ben Shapiro and pushed back on everything the reporter was telling him. He's also criticizing them for having open borders. It was wild. Dude was basically retarded a few months ago and now he is stern and speaks clearly?

I disagree with his stance on Israel, FWIW, but his recovery is the most amazing recovery I've seen of a public figure since Magic defeated AIDS.

Democrats thought they were electing a puppet.



He may still vote with them on everything, but it's great that he's calling them out in interviews.

Look at Biden's numbers in Pennsylvania. He's coming up against Trump. Fetterman is playing proxy for Biden to convince Pennsylvania they don't really hate Democrats.

Keep cheering on that retarded commie if you want.

Either the stroke reprogrammed him or his double has gone rogue.

Karl Malone still wouldn't play if Magic was on the court:

His stance on Israel is his best part.

Fetterman passes the physiognomy test. I’m not too surprised. Gotta see if he follows through on his rhetoric though

Think it's more of the dim party leaving them...seen multiple other instances of democrat elects switching to republican party.

I'm starting to strongly hold that most "progressive", "woke" people are women.

Elon, Rogan, Maher, etc. are examples of Democrat-leaning people who are strongly pro-free-speech/anti-woke.

Very few people along the same line as that group just named are women.

Some men who are woke, etc. are frauds (ulterior motive), or just a very small minority.


Do I believe Fetterman isn't completely woke? I probably do b/c he's a male Senator from a purple state.

They're on break and no one is voting. We'll see how he votes next month.

That's what happens to liberals if their brain ever gets put into gear and starts working.

Neither. He is an old school lib.

He was still needing a visual assist, and struggling for words. But he does seem to be improving, and his crack alluding to Menendez and gold was funny.

He's a small town PA guy that's a kid of the 70s/80s. We have a lot more in common than people think. This is the last of the era where both sides can argue about how to spend money but still love this nation and respect God.

We'd all be able to have a beer and catch some football with a fetterman.

I suspect Fetterman is trying to pull off a Joe Manchin (talk like a conservative but vote like a leftist/communist)

No, not even close.

Being able to speak the King’s English and having like two common sense positions does not make him anything other than the progressive retard that he is.

If he strays too far he’ll have another “stroke”.

Festerman may have had some neurological pathways rewired after his unfortunate stroke but the end result is he's thinking more rationallly now. Festerman's current political stances would definitely place him back in the category of being an old school Blue Dog Democrat.
