    Is there a viable D challenger to unseat him in next opportunity?

    Fetterman has been and will be a traitor to the US like the rest of Maga. The fact that they keep saying he’s a Democrat bothers the shit out of me.

        They wouldn’t dare. That would be impolite. We need to reach across the aisle, and that means capitulating to everything the Republicans want. They’ll tire themselves out at some point.

    He’s not breaking ranks for this, he’s been standing on the other side of the party line for a while.

    It would be newsworthy if Fettermen took any stance popular with a dem voting base at this point.

    Can’t he be impeached or something based on mental issues?

      Only by other members of congress who are fine with who he is. In terms of federally elected politicians, it’s in fact impossible for the constituents to recall them. Some states allow you to recall state level politicians but it remains illegal to recall a federal one.

        An example of this is George Santos, who is the only Republican to have been expelled

          Can we all take a minute to appreciate the actual comedy Andy Kaufman level genius of George Santos?

          Like it wasn’t that he wanted to be a comedian, but he has by far the most hilarious character in political history.

          Like lying so prolifically and absurdly about everything from his career to his heritage to surviving assassination attempts… it stops being deceit and starts feeling like satire. His deadpan delivery, surreal contradictions (like being both a far-right politician and a Brazilian drag queen), and refusal to break character even after being exposed create a kind of involuntary performance art that skewers politics, media, and celebrity culture in one breath. From scamming a disabled vet’s dog fund to monetizing his downfall on Cameo…

          Truly, one of the most comedic characters humanity has seen.

          The reason was he grifted the grifters.

          He frauduantly claimed to have $x donations already, which got him $y from the RNC.

          Then he won the primary with just the $y.

          If it wasn’t for that, he’d still be in office.

      Baby, if mental issues had any bearing on whether someone could be considered unfit to govern our entire government would need to step down. The inmates run the asylum.

    This is why America doesnt have instant recall, outside California, where astroturfed campaigns use it to benefit business interests.
