John Fetterman is the new Susan Collins
Kash Patel may have spent the last few years routinely saying Donald Trump’s political enemies should be prosecuted. Trump, who has often said the same thing, may have picked him as his next FBI director expressly for that purpose. Steve Bannon may be out there telling anyone who cares to listen that Patel is extremely serious about doing all this. “We’re trying to make these people famous,” Bannon told Tim Miller this weekend. “First of all, it has to happen. Number two, it’s going to happen.”
But don’t worry, folks—Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) met with Patel this weekend, and based on that conversation, he’s sure all that “going after Trump’s enemies” stuff is overblown.
“All of these interviews were all off the record,” Fetterman told ABC News’s Jon Karl yesterday. “So I’m not going to go into detail, but he absolutely—you know, that’s never going to happen.”

How long before he pulls Manchin and declares himself an "independent"? I give it, say, 6 to 8 months.

[quote] After Fetterman praised Elon Musk earlier this month and expressed his eagerness to work with his inchoate Department of Government Efficiency, I asked him whether he had any concerns with Musk and Trump’s suggestion they would refuse to spend money appropriated by Congress in the name of savings—a dramatic assertion of executive power that could provoke a mini-constitutional crisis. Fetterman scoffed it off: “I promise you that isn’t one of the things that I’ve been thinking about lately. I’m thinking about, am I gonna have time to get Christmas presents for the kids . . . I haven’t spent any time freaking out because the election went the way it was.”

Maybe the brain of a power-hungry fascist was sewn into the giant man-baby’s body when he went into the hospital.

This is what he needs to say to get reelected in Pennsylvania. You see what happened to Casey.

He’s a good role model for Dem candidates in red or purple states.
