"all of you got slaughtered because I refused to do my job and use leverage to make it hurt a little less. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make": John Fetterman
I don’t understand how they could just cave. Musk and Trump have already thrown America into chaos. Why would these Dem senators turn their backs on the people who are begging them to fight? Ever since we lost the election and just shrugged it’s gotten worse. I’m sick of it. We need new leadership.
Fetterman: I have no principles. That’s how I became a Senator, and that’s why I’m losing my job in the next election. I can be coerced into anything except dressing like a statesman.
We have already been plunged
into chaos.
Apparently the Senators aren’t
experiencing similar problems.
Out of touch elites.
One of the Sorrows of Empire.
Fetterman and what someone else called his “performative hoodie” does not stand with struggling Americans. He took his “kiss the ring” trip to Mar a Lago and came back a Manchin/Sinema monster.
Historic missed opportunity. When voters from both parties are very angry and scared about what's happening and Schumer caves to it saying it could, maybe, perchance, possibly, conceivably be worse if we don't cave....it's not a great sell. Where is the leadership in that?
@johnfetterman.com you are a disgrace to those you represent. This is not your first vote in favor of them. Sorry to have voted for you. Get your balls and soul back.
@fetterman.senate.gov.
Do you really think you have helped by voting to pass this CR? You don't want to punish working families, but you help the GOP to do it for you. By September there won't be a government left to protect. Don't worry about the voters; GOP can't afford to allow elections now.
So, all the Republicans have to do is threaten to shut down the government, and they get whatever they want? Kind of like they have been doing for thirty years? Vote these capitulating democrats out of office.
Oh but denying life saving abortion and making seniors and veterans homeless is okay Fetterman?
You weak weasel.
You only care about your job. You have no respect for others.
Your reasoning is stupid and narrow minded.
An absolutely correct question to ask. I would absolutely see the GOP going there and that’s playing an open hand. I used to respect him too. He seemed to break the mold but this is disappointing beyond words. If folks like AOC were in the drivers seat what a world we would inhabit
So republican know what to do now to get a budget thru the senate. All they need to is push a budget at the last minute before a shutdown and the dems will FOLD. Being from PA I will not vote for him when he comes up for re-election again. We need fighters.
They completely cut dems out OF NEG, why do you think that was?
Okay’d blank cheque with unlimited power to the most corrupt & immoral human & his largest donor to sit that office.
just no understanding of the job disappointing doesn’t cut it
Imagine President Roosevelt saying…
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever declare war against fascism, because it might cost me the lives of American soldiers.
AOC’s hypothetical attacking Fetterman for doing what he should is cute. Not throw entire gvt. into chaos is good. TreasonTrump voters won. It’s probably a good idea to remember who the enemy is. It ISN’T Democrats. This bullshit is real reason we lose. Last week it was Dems voting censure. Wtf.
Also, after that bullshit post and helping get the CR through… He turned around and voted against it with a meaningless show vote. That doesn't sound remotely principled. He's just another con artist who sold the voters out.
I really don't understand why you people think politicians would rise to the occasion. You're country is being dismantled and what do you do? Bitch on twitter and bluesky. When our president tried to sell us to Russia we send him packing.
You do remember that Trump republicans are the enemy, right? They won. They are going to do harmful shit. Fetterman is not the problem. I don’t want a gvt. shut down. People deserve to suffer for what they voted for. Including those who don’t vote. Dems attacking Dems are also part of the problem.
So someone somewhere said something? Still doesn’t change the fact that this attack on Fetterman doing his fucking job is bullshit. Just like last week when Dems voted for censure instead of being total fucking hypocrites. Ignore that it’s always same people attacking from within at your own peril.
So, to follow your original point, they’re going to do evil shit, this CR is FULL of evil shit. Of course this was Sophie’s Choice. What in the hell is capitulating going to help? To Anne’s point, and the point of all who are pissed with those who voted for this CR, it’s about fighting or caving.
Again, none of this is Fetterman’s fault. He doesn’t believe in a shut down gvt. I agree w him. Democrats should’ve worked harder BEFORE election. Too late now. Dems are the minority & can’t stop TreasonTrumps agenda. Let’s hope midterms fix it. It won’t if this bs continues & Dems don’t smarten up.
He does not give the reason that really counts. If we shut down the government, we shut down our courts and our courts are only recourse to fighting Trump right now and I’m sorry Adam, but that is my main purpose in life to stop Trump not Schumer.
Fetterman is a huge disappointment, after all the things he said on and before his campaign and his brilliant trolling of Trump and Dr. Oz. I hate to say it, but he's just not the same person after his stroke.
Fetterman, you voted for Republicans killing American democracy, the blatant carnage of what Musk and his DOGE are doing & the wasteful spending of money on Kristie Noem photo ops etc
We don't know why your opposition has been non-existent since 2016.
In my country, France, wannabe dictators don't last 24 hours. They don't even think about it.
We are aggressive and tough. We love our freedom.
Do the world a favor, start a Revolution. SVP !
Note that there are many protests around the United States every single day but they are not being reported by the oligarch-owned media. Send some French reporters here to help spread the word!
When you say you’re aggressive and tough, what specifically do you mean? How do you make it clear wannabe dictators aren’t tolerated? I’m asking because we need help. I think most people here are extremely angry and outraged, but don’t know what to do.
US will never put themselves out to a serious protest. That’s how we got here. I quit participating after Hillary lost. Why should I campaign, knock doors, work polls, write cards & make calls when half the people don’t vote & dems lose elections by histrionic social media idiocy against other Dems
At the first sight of anything the French public don't like the look of, they all go on strike, barricade the roads, hold riots. The entire country grinds to a halt and becomes ungovernable until the government folds or relents.
THAT'S what Americans could do right now, to take back their country.
In this case,... 🍊 💩 is very likely to roll out the tanks, and even just one KKK, Neo-Nazi in that tank, ....and they'll start shooting the entire USA population. It's possible because 🍊💩 has been culling the more rational military folks on purpose. There is a reason Pete "HegesDEATH" is in charge.
They also have worker’s rights and protections, healthcare that isn’t tied to their employment, and don’t live paycheck-to-paycheck like most Americans. We are enslaved to the oligarchs here, which makes it very hard to rise up without giving up everything you’ve struggled for.
If you don't rise up though, it's all going to be taken away anyway, plus you'll lose your democracy. It's a truly horrible situation to be in, and hard times lie ahead. I feel desperately sorry for decent Americans.
@johnfetterman.com but you, hurt middle class families, children veterans.
You know dang on well the people you did want to let down would have got back pay you gave up on WIC Medicade free lunch make it mahs sense step down I'll take your place for now I no.wimp like you
The sun rises in the east and Fetterman's vote IS an endorsement of the CR. That is what voting for something means. Why do we keep getting useless Senators like Fetterman, Sinema, and - the king of uselessness - Manchin? The U.S. is an idiocracy; the infection's spread to the Democrats too.
We need to replace the party from the lean-to-the right lukewarm Democrats. Why did Jeffries admonished the representatives who protested during the SOTU??!!
This is what happens when White men with power can’t imagine what it’s like to be a woman or child, who think money first instead of human beings, integrity, honor or decency.
AMERICANS WOULD HAVE GAINED MORE THAN THEY LOST IN A GD BUDGET SHUT DOWN YOU DUMBASSES.
I think the end of the establishment Dems began in earnest today. There is very public rage at what Schumer et. al. did and I’m not just talking members of Congress.
Fetterman is just repeating maggot talking points. It is sad to know that honor means little to him and he will still get free healthcare, pension, big salary, per diem, and a kiss from chump and president muskrat. BUT no swasticar discount .. full price since he already got his prize
When I say explain it to me, it’s because I really don’t know, so explain it to me.
Has the rule of law been removed?
If the government was shut down and EOs flew out at lightning speed could anyone contest them?
If I was protesting outside Tesla and the army was brought in to shoot me on an EO?
Yeah well. It isn’t our government anymore, Fetterman. Belongs to nazi nepo musk and his illiterate sidekick bozo the orange clown. Shutting it down was exactly the right thing to do
The jackass and his monkey are tearing up the government as much as possible - why not shut it down?
As a retired federal employee I’ve worked through two shut downs.
What are they saying?
Shut it down. No losses.
Sad times.
Hey @fetterman.senate.gov working families are hurting now and you just made it worse. You need to resign, go home. You are not a hero......you are a 0......fuck off
Not to shut it down, but to destroy it ? Ruin the lifes of Veterans, senior citizens, and those with debilitating illness, by taking funding away that pays rent, food, and medical costs ? What bullshit is this ?!!
Can someone please explain to me who this Fetterman person is. He seem incredibly loyal to his own personal agenda but deeply disloyal to the democratic party. If he had been in Australia he would be sitting on the cross benches waiting to to be voted out at the next election.
Fetterman is having foreplay with the MAGA Nazis and he is liking it. This is a prime example of what took place in Germany when so many "went Nazi". Once they passed thru the portal they never could go back.
Fucking cowards! Yes, a shut down will hurt people, but not as bad as what twitler, the turncoat and nazi in the White House.
All the voted yes, I’m sure they will lose their next election! If we ever have another election! The traitor keeps bragging how Musk rigged the 2024 election for him.

No democrats are going to vote with republicans on important issues like that.
This was not the hill to die on, but everyone’s seems to want to die.

ALL WRONG
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever declare war against fascism, because it might cost me the lives of American soldiers.
This is how the French got their constitution

My goosestepping is about not shutting the Nazis down
He’s “above the fray.”
@fetterman.senate.gov
WTF does he think is happening now?
he needs to gtfoh with his stupidity.
Nothing you say will EVER undo the damage you are doing. GO FUCK yourself.
Make a statement, aMericans get hurt OR DON’T VOTE for it and aMericans get hurt.

@schumer.senate.gov
Gentlemen -
I second @aoc.bsky.social question? Senator Fetterman - as on of your female constituents from Breinigsville, PA, I’d like an answer to this one.
Do tell us AOC. Surely you must know this
Waiting...
They've got one last hurdle & there's no going back.
Has the rule of law been removed?
If the government was shut down and EOs flew out at lightning speed could anyone contest them?
If I was protesting outside Tesla and the army was brought in to shoot me on an EO?
As a retired federal employee I’ve worked through two shut downs.

Sad times.
That's why GOP knew they could put in handing over power to Trump/Musk on federal spending. Bc these 10 Senate Dems said yes anyway
