There is no evidence that suggests otherwise.
But if you are a MAGA person. You just want someone who goes to DC and votes with the other MAGA senators. Fetterman is not going to do that. Oz is.

I never said the story was fake. But when you have a paid campaign worker telling what happened to them that should be disclosed at that time.

Often when products are promoted there will be a disclaimer that this is paid spokesperson for product A.

If he continues to lie about his condition and his fitness to serve as a U.S. Senator, then he is fair game to be "made fun of."

I notice you don't have anything to say when Democrats "make fun of" Republicans, especially Trump.
Yes he had a stroke. I have no idea how his cognitive function is. I just know from personal experience that having speaking difficulties after a stroke does not necessary mean the person is not processing information correctly. And the punch drunk comment is just rude and that was what I was replying to. When my dad started driving I was worried that one day he would get pulled over and the cop would think he was drunk with the way he spoke. It never happened but it could have.

I do comment when dems take pot shots at Trump. I don't care about his hair or how big his hands are. I am an issues person. As well as personal behavior as a person. Oz is on the right side on issues compared to Fetterman. That is what is important. Senators have a huge staff around them. A 5 yo could probably function in today's senate. Almost everyone votes party line. Not too hard to figure out how one is voting on virtually everything. That is why there have been many in their 80s and even close to 100 in the senate. Its about the only job they could have at that age. Who would hire them?

Never said you said the story was fake. The fact is it happened, and if her getting paid to tell her story was seen as a big deal it would be plastered everywhere. You’re simply hoping it’s a bigger deal than you’re trying to make it.

My goal is to show how bad politicians are on BOTH sides. Since in my opinion 99% on both sides are horrible and corrupt my work is easy. I don't need hope. I want a 3rd party revolution. I don't follow the MSM or right wing media. The intercept is good. So is reason.com and fee.com. I peruse drudgereport because there are so many interesting links. I will read stories of interest and compare to my factual sources. I ignore almost everything else.

I don't care what the others are saying. They are all partisan one way or another.

Then you should try a different platform if that’s your goal…as complaining about meanie Republicans, and especially because Trump isn’t doing much. You’re making the story out to be more than it is, as it’s getting almost no attention, other than from yourself.

the closer you get to an election, the more petty they become. People buy into it, hook, line, and sinker.

He seems to be a charlatan.



We used to think that a Senator of the United States was an exceptional person. Part of the 'most deliberative body' in the world.



I agree: Fetterman does not meet those standards. Yet, at least he is from Pennsylvania.



The US Senate is going to crap.
You believe because Fetterman is from PA, even though he is a socialist, he should be elected senator???

Fetterman is going to vote with the Squad and other progressives. I'd go with Oz.
