Is there ANY limit to how much Democrats cheat? J/K. There isn't.


Has Someone Taken Over Fetterman's Office Because He Can't Do What Was Just Announced

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattve...pdate-n2620142

So, do we believe Fetterman has co-signed bipartisan legislation to improve freight safety standards? No. Unless his office wants to clarify, but they don’t. Who is running the office and signing off on lawmaking efforts? Because it’s not John right now. We have an unelected imposter serving the Keystone State, and that’s a scandal.

Yup, I thought the voters voted for a specific individual and not staffers, interns and/or party officials. But this is exactly what the party wanted-the seat and office under their control.

It is very disingenuous to release a statement like that along with misleading. Even worse is alot of the msm will gobble that up and rationalize for 'him'.

The fact he's listed as a co-sponsor isn't really that big a deal, all that takes is a, "Yeah sure, OK". Now, if he votes on it when that comes up there may be questions.

Exactly. The only a Senator needs to be physically present for is voting.

he's being treated for depression. I have no idea what that involves.

When my mom was in the looney bin having shock treatments I visited her everyday. So did others, including friends. I'm thinking he's being updated by staff.

IMO, congressional and senate staff tells the elected what to think and do. The one elected may or may not know it.

When DH was the step and fetch it for the chairman, his group controlled what happened in the way they presented issues. A one pager got it done. If they wanted a no they wrote it up in a complicated manner for 5-6 pages.

Staffers run that place. When their boss quits or is defeated they just go to work another one. That's the trouble.

I don't think people really begin to realize just how much work these staffers, aides, and assistances for Senators and Representatives do. Do people really think Senators and Representatives "write bills"? They get an idea and then have a staff member write a rough draft of a bill for them.

They don't read most bills either especially when they are over a couple of hundred pages long. People on their staff usually do and then they will make notes of things that they think would be of interest to their boss. good and bad. Been like this since at least the turn of the 19th century. Members of Congress do very little work that way and have staff do more of the heavy lifting.

The guy isn't dead. I'm sure he is in contact with staff and can indicate his wishes on various issues..

The voters put a sick man into office. Now they have to deal with the consequences of that.
