Fetterman’s former roommate warned the media who he was long before the stroke and no one listened.

Maybe he’s full of shit and just pulling a Fetterman, his family is also wealthy but he plays it like he grew up poor.

His family is also rich, like grand dad was a world famous architect with a furniture line and designed building interiors in New York rich. Dude is Fetterman all over again.

Buddy of mine from high school who went into IT worked in San Fran for a biotech firm and after a few years they transferred him to Beijing and after 5 years there off to Germany. He burned out from all the stuff he saw in the labs and read about while doing lab tech support.

In my 22 years in the army 5 of which we barely had computers I saw at least 6 people get busted for porn on government devices. It happens often.

MANY ARE UPSET THAT I THINK MY REELECTION IS LOCKED UP

Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

Platner worked as a “security contractor” in Afghanistan in 2018. He comes from a wealthy family, his grand father was a famous architect in the 60s so famous in fact he had a Wikipedia article before his grandson did. This guy is Fetterman 2.0

Platner was a Blackwater merc…

I would like him a lot more if he had ever passed any legislation in his 30+ years in congress. I mean renaming post offices is important but maybe just a little something to show he’s actually trying

Wholly sh*t I didn’t see that! lol sanders candidates are alway entertaining.

My liberalism doesn’t very much care about Israel or Gaza while the US democracy is under attack by an authoritarian wanna be who is spreading the constitution. The Middle East can wait until this is all sort at home.

From what I have seen of the guy he seems like Fetterman 2.0, Sanders is really bad at vetting his candidates. I honestly don’t have a dog in the fight since I don’t live there but it’s interesting to watch.

Oh I should mention I was an FA30, small functional area both more focused on IO and more broadly skilled at incorporating a wide variety of capabilities:

psyopers are so bad at what they do. The whole active duty psyop are so focused on trying to be cool like SF they completely ignore being good at their job. When we needed them we used the reservists who were much better educated and won’t drink all the coffee while talking about airborne crap.

It was a family clan, so Hamas killed an entire family. You know Hamas can be terrorists just like Israel is, it’s not a mutually exclusive thing both sides can be evil.

He doesn’t seem to be very bright I just blocked him, no need to feed the doomer trolls.

The only people who can’t win in the political arena are the DSA who literally can’t succeed anywhere outside of New York City and Vermont.

We have a chance to push back. The commission is accepting public comments on this request for a “show-your-papers” requirement. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote?

My dude Democrats have literally fought Republicans continuously for decades to keep those things alive and to expand them. Do you get your medical insurance via the ACA? if you do that’s a Democratic program the Republicans have been trying to tear apart for a decade.

And Hamas proudly claimed to have killed 24… Palestinians.

One huge normie advantage that Dems have is that the right has siloed themselves into seeing the standard American flag as insufficiently patriotic. They're always one-upping each other with Gadsdens and tea-stained, colonial and two dozen variations of the fashy cop flag.

If you're going to a No Kings march instead of a witty sign that might elicit a chuckle maybe you could just carry an American flag

See you guys are the problem. Democrats give you things like Medicare, WIC and SNAP, unemployment, and the Social Security net. Republicans want to kill all of that and take even more so they can give billionaires tax cuts. Yet here you are both siding it. Be better.

As a retire info warfare guy I absolutely agree, it’s always narrative warfare. (insert Always has been meme)

Yup and that 31% that opposed the BLM protests are likely to be the same 30% that is always locked into supporting Trump. So they are likely the core MAGA people who are never going to change.
