Going from “hell yeah he’s showing the Senate the level of respect it deserves by casting votes in basketball shorts” to “put on some pants you fucking oaf” so quickly I get whiplash.
If he was wearing a hoodie and showing some respect to grieving families he’d be fine. It’s not his personal aesthetics it’s his morals and his behavior.
I put up the yard sign. I’d still rather have him than Oz (and have lost all the judges etc). But I wish it weren’t half full now.
They’re the best! If you don’t already read Dave Zirin, you should! His books are also some of the best sports writing! I listen to his nation podcast and the podcast version of his WPFW show The Collision, mostly basketball/football talk but still a great listen!
I was very confused on why he tweeted out support for a tiktok ban when he was against it previously. But now that I know tiktok has more pro-palestine content, his actions are clear. I regret voting and donating monthly to him back during his election cycle.
"Quite simply, he has decided to be a real dick about it"
Perfect encapsulation of the situation. We're used to being ignored, its a whole nother thing to flip on a dime and act like an asshole
PA resident here, I had only seen a little of his commentary on this issue but had no idea what a disgusting, blood-soaked, genocidal cheerleader he had become. Oh and great now he wants to become the giant ugly Sinema Manchin hybrid too. Yeah, you could say I'm disappointed in my vote for him.
I voted for him and lord do I regret that. As a PA resident I not only give you permission to call him a jagoff.. you should use the harsher, more appropriate, crumb bum.
My understanding of why things were going the way they are going over there has changed quite a bit since I first started learning about it. I still slide between understanding and "holy fuck! what is wrong with you, isreal!" quite a bit. It's mostly the latter now.
We need to primary his ass. I was so happy when I moved here that you had voted him in instead of that walking bag of dicks, Oz. It's slowly turns to horror every time he opens his mouth.
We knew Fetterman was far from a perfect candidate and do not agree with his stance but as is the case with so many elections these days we had to vote for the better of the two but not the best. I am certain Dr. Oz would be just another George Santos style distraction and no better in so many ways.

Applauding your work though, more to come hopefully?

fuck that jagoff
His snarky attitude was slightly endearing when he was pointing out how silly dress codes are.
Now that he's snarking about the deaths of thousands, it just feels tasteless.
Fuck that guy
He has an obnoxious combo of traits: contradictory politics, no brain-mouth filter, and a lust for headlines.
defend the US lower and lower-middle classes, not stump for Israel every day of his political life.
Wish he was this loud about frickin nationalized health care.
He himself said he's NOT A PROGRESSIVE and was more of a "common man" type who didn't mind standing out.
Not unlike Trump, he's not afraid to speak his mind.
It doesn't make them good people.
This is top tier political writing thank you!
