Fetterman: "So far, the reflecting pool looks good. If that's $13 million, really, that's small. We do need a ballroom."

1. W.T.F.!!!!!!!!

[FalloutShelter]

2. STFU JOHN!!!!

I can't wait to vote against you.

[RandomNumbers]

20. If the theory is correct about why Fetterman caves to TSF, he may not run

I mean, why would he?

(theory being that because John's wife came to US as an undocumented immigrant ... well you can take it from there. If the premise is true than the theory is highly plausible)

[FalloutShelter]

30. AS a constituent, I say...

I understand. And if this theory is, in fact, true... resign and live your best life.

Stop carrying their water and... IMHO, beclowning yourself and the State of Pennsylvania.

[newdeal2]

3. How about donate $1 million each to 1000 public libraries instead of a ballroom

They could use some paint and fixing. That would be a great gift to America.

[Solly Mack]

4. 13 million for paint is small? Soon we'll be talking about real money redux.

[Intractable]

5. Go for a swim, John.

[dalton99a]

6. Despicable fraud and low-life scum.

[calguy]

7. I'm starting to think this guy was a Republican plant when he ran as a Dem

[walkingman]

8. He'll walk away as a multi-millionaire, if not a billionaire....mark my words. I think that was the plan all along.

[Walleye]

9. I respect the office of US senator, apparently more than this senator does

Senator Fetterman, please shut up. Would you rather be living in Pennsylvania? The man should resign immediately. He was elected on false pretenses.

[Klarkashton]

10. What bigger fish to fry? Eliminating social programs?

Accelerating the Iran war?

[flvegan]

11. The check cleared. n/t

[Dunc]

12. Dudes a total MAGA asshole.

[Cha]

45. And, the media****** like having him

on to spew his PEDO appeaser talking points.

[doc03]

13. $13 million to paint a cement pond.

[Dunc]

56. Jethro Bodine would be happy Doc.

Fucking Fetterman has consistently shit on those of us who voted for him.

[Johonny]

14. Ai, doesnt the fucker work there?

Doesn't he drive by it everyday? WTF us with that comment?

[Wifes husband]

15. I wish this slob would just shut up

[BootinUp]

16. "We do need a ballroom..." Really?

[Botany]

19. It is not a ballroom it is a Bunker.

Ja, es ist ein Führerbunker.

[malaise]

17. The worst part of Fetterman is that Dems let him run as one of them

I try to stay away from anything about this insane opportunist

[mcar]

18. He's a registered Democrat

Plus, he was the progressive's latest great white hope. They refused to listen to those of us who pointed out the obvious red flags during his primary.

Sound familiar?

[malaise]

21. Sad

That is all

[mcar]

31. Indeed

[sheshe2]

38. Why yes, yes it does.

Ty mcar….

[mcar]

39. The definition of insanity...

[AZProgressive]

41. The top 2 candidates in that primary had red flags

Not as bad as Fetterman but soon after Connor Lamb was elected he voted against Pelosi for Speaker of the House while the progressive caucus were mostly unanimous in supporting Pelosi in 2018 & 2020. Fetterman campaigned to be the Democrats 51st vote during a time when we had Manchin & Sinema (who was Schumer's hope). The red flags were there and I didn't back a candidate besides the winner of the primary because Fetterman wanted to end mask mandates sooner than most Democrats which was a red flag for me in addition to the jogger story.

Connor Lamb would've still been better but hopefully someone else better will emerge when Fetterman's seat comes up again.

[yardwork]

35. In the U.S. we "let" anybody run.

There isn't a secret cabal of Democrats who decide whether to let somebody run or not.

Fetterman won the Democratic primary and then the general election. Fair and square. The voters of Pennsylvania picked him. He's changed a lot since then.

[republianmushroom]

22. We never have needed the ballroom, John. Jesus

We haven't needed one in over 200 years. Let that sink in John.

I know it is hard for MAGA to think.

[Timewas]

23. Boot his ass out

Why is he allowed to claim to be a dem????

[kentuck]

24. What a dumbass!

You'd think by now he would have enough money to buy a suit of clothes? Why does he want to look like a bum? He's not working at McDonalds.

[Vinca]

25. Wow - he must have gotten the extra special kneepads by now and a standing appointment to service the king.

[Blues Heron]

26. Was he blinking in Morse code?

[Blue Owl]

27. Florsheims with sweat pants is a bad look

[Drum]

50. Thread winnah!

[no_hypocrisy]

28. He's saying stuff that even Boebert won't go on record saying.

Or Nancy Mace. Or Moses Mike.

Has to be blackmail.

[ImNotGod]

29. Granted, the reflecting pool is probably overdue for some upgrades, maintenance, sealing, painting or

some sort of liner. Costs around 13 mil wouldn't surprise me but fuck the epstein ballroom.

[yardwork]

32. Trump must be blackmailing Fetterman.

Fetterman's statements are like caricatures of Trumpisms. He's been given a script and he's saying it.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

37. I thought the same thing.

[yardwork]

40. The tell is the OTT language. Fetterman is mimicking Trump.

[Cha]

46. Like a programmed robot

in a hoodie.

[Renew Deal]

61. Sure seems like it

[roscoeroscoe]

33. How about this conspiracy theory

Fetterman was the target of an updated Manchurian Candidate treatment. Health crisis, no - he got his brain re-oriented.

[LisaL]

34. As far as conspiracy theories go, it's as good as any.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

36. Do any of these MAGAssholes know

These things do NOT belong to Piggy! WTF right does this corrupt criminal have to demolish the White House, pave over the rose garden, fuck with the reflecting pool, build a "ballroom hospital," or any of the other crap we probably don't even know about??

He acts like everything belongs to him. He steals taxpayer money for his bullshit and fucks over Americans every freaking day!

Reminds me of his first reign of terror when that fugly guy and his money grubber wife (or whatever) posed with Americans' money like they had exclusive right to it.

?itok=PtRUdPyc

[Cha]

47. It's a Fascist Cult.. they don't care..

only what der Führer wants, der Führer gets.

Excellent point, bringing that up, though.

TY

[MorbidButterflyTat]

63. You're right.

< That's me.

[pwb]

42. A dull reflection

would be Justice. IMO.

[City Lights]

43. I wonder what Pedo has on him. nt

[allegorical oracle]

44. Wonder what medication he's on. Can recall that he sounded much

sharper before he got sick. He was humorous and sardonic -- would never have foreseen how he now sounds like a MAGAt. Nobody needs a ballroom except professional dance competitors.

[Cha]

48. Hey Fetterman, anyone ever tell you

That you look Stupid in a hoodie, yapping away at how the PEDO needs this and that, while destroying our History and Democracy?

[sakabatou]

49. Fetterman should've left after his stroke

Then again, he's had this hidden, scam-side of himself.

[B.See]

51. People keep mentioning his stroke, but

I don't think that has anything to do with it. It's much worse, I think.

Read the other day about him and waffling fence sitter, Maher, laughing it up over Trump's repeated insults to women correspondents, the latter even calling his insults, "refreshing honesty." (Picks his outrages, doesn't he.)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/bill-maher-john-fetterman-laugh-at-trump-s-quiet-piggy-insult/ar-AA230HJq

[Irish_Dem]

52. He is not even trying to hide the fact he is up Trump's ass.

He is bragging and showing off about it.

[bucolic_frolic]

53. They've got something on him. A stroke doesn't reverse everything in your head. /nt

[regnaD kciN]

54. Fettermanchin is "Exhibit A"...

…on why we need to amend the Constitution to provide for the recall of federal elected officials.

[johnnyfins]

55. I just wasted 4 min on perusing this thread.

4 minutes I wont get back. I will not be clicking Fetterman posts anymore.

[Initech]

57. Hey Fettershit, go fuck all of the way off!

Trump can go shove his bullshit ballroom straight up his ass!

[Norrrm]

58. The newly renamed 'Trump Reflecting Pool'.

[DFW]

59. Who knew? The earth is really flat after all.

And Fetterman just jumped of the edge of it.

[Renew Deal]

60. He's basically trolling at this point

Or someone's got something on him

[tavernier]

62. WE don't need a ballroom

because WE won’t be invited to step foot in it.

But YOU don’t really care about that, do you John?

[themaguffin]

64. oof
