Sen. John Fetterman’s latest high-profile vote backing Donald Trump angered Democrats, who lambasted him as “shameful” and a “traitor.”
On Wednesday, Fetterman again voted to block another war powers resolution to constrain Trump’s authority to wage war on Iran without congressional approval.
It was the seventh time Democrats have attempted to rein in Trump’s power.
This time, however, Fetterman was the deciding vote after three Republican senators — Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Rand Paul — supported it.

Asshole. Complete asshole. Dude should be thrown out of Congress for the campaign he ran in PA primaries and then the general. I mean Dr. Oz would have been worse but at this point by how much. Everything is fucked.
You know, Fetterman has talked openly about his struggles with suicidal ideation. Just saying, with the right letter campaign, we might be able to solve this one.
Considering his less than ideal body shape, it’s also not unreasonable to hope for a major cardiovascular event
Didn’t I hear that he got brain damage or something like that AFTER becoming a senator?
Stroke so yes technically speaking he did. He was like this before but you are correct.

Fetterman IS a traitor.
PEDOPHILE
This pile of used bubblegum need to be scraped the fuck off.
Wait a minute, I just dug into this.
A Dude got voted in on certain principles and ideology.
He then suffer’s a brain injury that completely changes his ideology,
And there’s no referendum planned?
WTF America?
Nah, timeline’s off. He had a stroke before being elected.
US Senators have no recall mechanism. Fetterman is up for reelection in 2028. We will see what happens then.
He’s going to switch parties. I guarantee it
Honestly I hope he does, it’s not like he can win a Dem or Republican primary now lol
Does it really matter?
Fetterman has certainly been acting more erratic since his stroke, but he actually wasn’t as progressive as people wanted to believe. He was always a hard-core Israel supporter, and he once held a black jogger at gunpoint because he saw a black man running and assumed he committed a crime.
Also, there is nothing the voters can do to remove a sitting Senator. The only way for him to be removed is for two-thirds of the Senate to expel him, which isn’t going to happen. Depending on Pennsylvania’s laws, either the Governor would appoint a Senator until the next election, which the Republicans wouldn’t support because they like Fetterman fucking over the Democrats, or Pennsylvania would have to hold a special election, which the Democrats wouldn’t like because it would leave them short a vote for weeks (maybe months), and an unreliable vote is better than no vote. Either way, you’re not going to find 67 Senators willing to expel him.
Go to the Pennsylvania community and find out that he was always like this but covered up to get elected. When it came down to it it was either him to Dr Oz. The stroke really has nothing to do with it.
America needs recall elections.
Yeah, but some tea smugglers were able to increase their profit margins. All that “creating a functioning government” stuff was just an afterthought.
We have nothing we can do
Zionist first rule over US is only issue to him, and most Senators. He’s just a bit more upfront about being a traitor over the others.
Fetterman has been called a traitor for a lot longer than that. Ever since the brain damage, he’s betrayed everything he was supposedly supporting when elected. That sack of shit can’t fuck off fast enough and the moment his ass is out of office I hope and expect he finds he doesn’t have a friend in the world.
Dude went around doing a press tour talking about how the brain damage made him less progressive.
That alone should have had us trigger some mechanism to determine if he’s fit for duty.
He was never a progressive. The media labeled him that and voters all went “oh ok voted” without looking at his history.
I mean it was either him or Mehmet fucking Oz.
Excellent point! Forgot about that.
I wish there was some mechanism to remove him from office earlier. Vote of no confidence, Some sort of lawsuit, Breach of voter representation
Recall elections at the federal level
Please Democratic leadership wanted him to vote this way. If they wanted they could hold his feet in the fire and vote party line. Also keep him from commite seats etc. Since none that happens its because he doing what they want him to do.
Accurate
Words alone have lost all meaning, we need action.
Are they going to do anything about it or say he’s a traitor today and then keep working with him like normal the next day? I’m starting to think they support the Republicans with all this inaction.
The idea that they need to have party lines is dumb on both sides. Open this system up, and allow for the voters to hold the rep accountable for misleading them, this whole political speech is ok to be just full on lies when you represent those people it outrageous. Americans should demand better.
Because the brain-damaged cunt is
