Fetterman is the modern day Brutus to the DNC, the quintessential "backstabber" that keeps on stabbing.

    Fetterman is the modern day Brutus

    Brutus stabbed Ceaser in the back. And our American Ceaser seems about as safe from Fetterman as anyone.

    Brutus was also an elegant public speaker and a famously good lay

    I had a quick look at it. It request your credit card details + account balance. The API has no real validation, so we could probably spam their database with the Beemovie script xD \ After submittimg data, you get insulted in (I guess) russian.

    It even has a support chat. But it locks up after the scam "completes" and the link seems to be single-use. So I was not able to check if they plugged a LLM behind it.

    Update: the link works again after deleting cookies. I was not able to get the chat to generate anything. Maybe a real person is wasting their time there, lol.

    “We should let him finish the job,” Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Tuesday, voicing support for a U.S.-Israeli air campaign that began five days ago

    This administration doesn't even know what "finish the job" looks like, you fucking Russian tool.

    Lady Lindsey has never seen a war it didn't love to sell arms for. You should have seen it creaming all over itself on Meet the Press the day after the attacks started.

    cutting off the President’s authority mid-campaign would send the wrong message

    Hey Fetterman, the message we want to send is "Don't fucking start wars in random non-aggressive countries on behalf of Israel". That's absolutely the right message which should be sent right at this moment you asshole.

    brain damage leading to conservatism

    Always wondered if the inverse is true as well 🤔

    There is a correlation to higher education and liberalism. If you don't like that one, there's a correlation between mindfulness and liberalism.

    I am quite sure that at some point - hopefully soon - the narrative will be "don't blame us, it was all that awful Trump's fault. It was just one rogue president!"

    No, it wasn't. This belongs to all of you.

    Which is why the Constitution gives the exclusive power to initiate war to the Congress. They're supposed to have skin in the game and fear for reelection if they enter into an unpopular war. It's not just that they didn't trust the office most inclined to go to war to make the decision, they wanted to spread responsibility across the branch most responsive to public opinion so they couldn't dodge responsibility.

    Contact your senators and tell them in no uncertain terms your informed opinion of their actions. "47-53 vote mostly along party lines " All Dems minus Fetterman DINO, plus Rand Paul = 47

    They will actively combat that state, since "woke" is something they were trained to believe is bad.

    These people are still sleepwalking after they supposedly voted for dimbulb donnie because "price of eggs".

    Dimbulb donnie gets into office and proclaims "affordability is a hoax", and Republicans steal many necessary safety nets right out from many people, and these dipshits still have not removed their lips from around the base of dimbulb donnie's mushroom.

    Good thing the mod log exists, because today I learned that it is antisemitic to call out the actions of a nation (israel in this case). I mean if it was not for these very reasonable actions by mods I might have thought that the state of israel is not the sum of all Jews. Whew that was almost too close to a nuanced view on the modern geopolitical situation.

    Really saved us all from thinking here.

    I assumed this would happen or they would have taken less than nearly a week to do it.

    If they cared they’d have rushed this vote on Saturday or Sunday. They don’t. They never have, never will.

    All Senate Democrats voted for the resolution except for Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who has argued that cutting off the President’s authority mid-campaign would send the wrong message.

    Can we please kick this asshole out of the democratic party for fuck sake???
