Behind closed doors, John Fetterman dodges constituents, alienates fellow Democrats and shows little interest in the work of a senator.

Formerly, Fetterman enjoyed playing the role of "quirky." Since his stroke, he's moved on to "effin nuts."

Bullschitt, the guy was a lunatic back when he was running for office and you clowns couldn't get enough of him.

"He chased the man down with a shotgun and detained him until police arrived.

It turned out that the man was jogging and wearing running clothes. According to a police report, the man was unarmed and said the sound of gunfire was actually fireworks, although two witnesses thought they heard shots."

Never liked the guy. Never voted for the guy. Would never have or never will vote for the guy.

Good luck with him. You maroons can have him. Maybe you can convince him to at least dress appropriately for his job.

Democrats obviously did not know they were electing a stealth republican.

But apparently that's what brain damage does.

Turns you into a republican.

I'm betting you played a lot of tackle football as a kid.

Better to play with dolls than Worship a False Prophet.

Somehow that wasn't the Flex you thought it was, Bozo.

Former Fetterman staffers vow to release inside details about senator's conduct as Democrats pile on
americantribune.com

... A group of anonymous former staffers for Sen. John Fetterman launched a public campaign promising damaging revelations about the Pennsylvania Democrat's work habits, and his own party's elected officials are lining up to demand he resign.

The group, calling itself "Former Fetterman Staffers," created an X account and announced it will begin posting inside details about Fetterman's conduct starting September 14, 2026, the day the Senate returns from summer recess. The move follows a Wall Street Journal report that described Fetterman routinely blowing off constituent meetings, neglecting legislative review, and declining to make in-state public appearances, Fox News Digital reported.

The former staffers did not hold back about their intentions or their timeline.

"We're a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he's become. If you were troubled by yesterday's Wall Street Journal story... trust us, that's just the tip of the iceberg."

They added: "It's even worse than you thought." And in a jab at Fetterman's attendance record, they told followers to set their calendars for September 14, then added, "Let's be honest, maybe the 15th: he'll skip Monday's votes." ...

@#6 ... Republicans didn't elect Fetterman. ...

They did not.The Democrats did.

And now the Democrats are expressing their concerns about Sen Fetterman.

imo, that's A Good Thing.

When might Republicans start expressing a similar concern about Pres Trump?

My guess would be: never.

Fetterman had a stroke and became conservative. There's a lesson here.
