Sen. John Fetterman’s latest high-profile vote backing Donald Trump angered Democrats, who lambasted him as “shameful” and a “traitor.”
On Wednesday, Fetterman again voted to block another war powers resolution to constrain Trump’s authority to wage war on Iran without congressional approval.
It was the seventh time Democrats have attempted to rein in Trump’s power.
This time, however, Fetterman was the deciding vote after three Republican senators — Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Rand Paul — supported it.
Wait a minute, I just dug into this.
A Dude got voted in on certain principles and ideology.
He then suffer’s a brain injury that completely changes his ideology,
And there’s no referendum planned?
WTF America?
You mean like a recall?
Nah, timeline’s off. He had a stroke before being elected.
US Senators have no recall mechanism. Fetterman is up for reelection in 2028. We will see what happens then.
He’s going to switch parties. I guarantee it
he is pro lgbtq+ and pro choice so i doubt that very much
Does it really matter?
Honestly I hope he does, it’s not like he can win a Dem or Republican primary now lol
Go to the Pennsylvania community and find out that he was always like this but covered up to get elected. When it came down to it it was either him to Dr Oz. The stroke really has nothing to do with it.
America needs recall elections.
Fetterman has certainly been acting more erratic since his stroke, but he actually wasn’t as progressive as people wanted to believe. He was always a hard-core Israel supporter, and he once held a black jogger at gunpoint because he saw a black man running and assumed he committed a crime.
Also, there is nothing the voters can do to remove a sitting Senator. The only way for him to be removed is for two-thirds of the Senate to expel him, which isn’t going to happen. Depending on Pennsylvania’s laws, either the Governor would appoint a Senator until the next election, which the Republicans wouldn’t support because they like Fetterman fucking over the Democrats, or Pennsylvania would have to hold a special election, which the Democrats wouldn’t like because it would leave them short a vote for weeks (maybe months), and an unreliable vote is better than no vote. Either way, you’re not going to find 67 Senators willing to expel him.
Yeah, but some tea smugglers were able to increase their profit margins. All that “creating a functioning government” stuff was just an afterthought.
We have nothing we can do
