In a Friday evening vote, the U.S. Senate rejected a war powers resolution that would have blocked President Donald Trump from making further attacks on Iran, despite widespread disapproval of last week’s strikes.
Senators voted 47-53, largely along party lines, on a measure offered by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would have prohibited Trump from offensive measures while preserving his ability to defend U.S. forces.
Kaine’s resolution drew near-unanimous support from Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Maybe people with verified brain damage should live complete, fulfilling, important lives, but not be allowed to have authority over others’ lives?
FF. Fuck Fetterman
Fetterman has been a huge disappointment, but remember the alternative was Dr Oz.
I feel like Dr. Oz would’ve been taken so many bribes by now he would’ve gotten fired by default
You’d think so, but look how long it took for George Santos to be kicked out. Someone more charismatic and acceptable to the GOP (not gay) like Oz could have stuck around for decades.
Again, than you Democratic party. For providing someone who is slightly less bad.
Honestly it should just be the party motto at this point.
I feel like Fetterman knows his health is failing and he won’t run again, so he’s just selling out entirely. His initial support of Israel made sense with the demographics of Pennsylvania, but he’s gone too far to avoid losing in the next primary for anything statewide.
His health can’t fail fast enough. The stroke unfortunately failed. I’m not saying that it didn’t change his views as there is precedent with Phineas Gage, but if I suffer a stroke and survive only to be a dog shit human, I’d prefer if I didn’t survive in the first first place. For the betterment of humanity, the stroke should have finished the job, but instead we’re stuck with a Nazi in denial.
Another stroke, please- and get the job done this time.
When is his position up for election? New blood needs to primary this guy
Fetterman was elected in 2022 for a 6 year term, so the 2028 election.
New blood needs to primary this guy
“The DNC wants to know your location!”
(Because that sort of talk is enough for them to want to arrest you on terrorist charges.)
Of course he did, he’s a republican.
A whole Congress full of filthy Benedict Arnolds. And they’re winning.

It’s well past time to take Grandpa’s car keys away. Bro’s down to one last functioning brain cell bouncing around his skull like the DVD logo.
Does Lemmy have a !rareinsults community yet?
Why is it that every time we get rid of the Joe Manchins of the party, someone else insists on taking on his role and torpedoing whatever Democrats manage to try to accomplish? There’s always one. Sometimes two.
It’s not pro wrestling. We don’t need someone “turning heel” at the last minute and “Swerving the voters” to keep things entertaining. We don’t need character twists like it’s some kind of HBO drama. But yet every time one of these Manchin morons goes, it’s like Democrats say “Ladies and gentlemen, the role of ‘Shitstain Democrat here to gum up the works’ will now be played by…”
The radio waves blocked by my tinfoil hat tell me two possibilities: the Republicans can always find dirt on a compromised congressperson OR it’s actually a single party run by oligarchs through managed opposition.
Yeah. OK…
Or, as in Fetterman’s case, have a stroke and wake up with what’s left of your brain completely deranged, utterly fucked, and suffering the delusions of the rest of the MAGAts.
There really needs to be a way to recall vote someone in any similar situation. 🤡 💩
Because the big money is always trying to find the weakest link?
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
I feel like this guy is worse than manchin, at least with manchin, he didn’t run on such lies as this asshole.
So what’s the leading theory on this guy? He was always horrible but we didn’t know? His brain turned to mush and Uber conservatism after the accident? Russia or whomever now have shit on him? He just turned super self interested and saw there’s more money in being a Trump lackey?
He said himself that severe brain damage basically.unlocked who he thinks he always was supposed to be.
Of course he’d say that, he has severe brain damage
And only tribial brain damblage!
Edit: for the life of me, I can’t figure out how I’d relocate the video, so take this with as much salt aa you deem necessary
I’m sorry I can’t recall but there was a pretty in-depth Youtube video I watched that went into Fetterman’s career. Posited he’s always just wanted the democratic clout but he’s a nepo-baby with conservative leanings deep-down.
This fuckin’ guy.
I can’t wait for him to lose office so I can stop reading about this turnip.
Primary or worse this guy
What a pile of shit this guy turned out to be.
I’m ready for general strike and or some 2A
