Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

And Fetterman is endorsing him

carlin-pog it's a big club, and you ain't in it

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 34 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Let me get this straight. Your condition of voting in favor of his approval is he gives you his word? I'm laughing. You are aware this is Dr. Oz, right?

---

Every time I see news about Fetterman - I get even more convinced he's going to flip parties. It seems to me that he's gleefully trolling and burning his bridges to the democratic party and the dem base.

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 22 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah I totally believe he's going to be like Manchin.

I don't get it though. Pennsylvania just got rid of Casey. Why does he think he'd survive

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 23 points 13 hours ago

If Fetterman had behaved as a milquetoast dem this whole time - he'd probably be on the road to a career in the senate lasting decades due to his pro wrestler appearance and his shtick as a regular guy who likes to wear hoodies and shorts. But he went in a wildly different direction. It's possible that he's not only very stupid but a ginormous fool and he thinks he's very clever.

He survived a stroke, let's give him another one

"He's got 'Dr'. as his first name, that means he's the most qualified" is exactly how I can see this having gone down

Looking forward to Dr. Phil heading the CDC

Looking forward to Dr. Phil heading the CDC

Oh, god.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Oh cool he's going to replace healthcare with crystals

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 23 points 13 hours ago

After he gets appointed - I can imagine Dr. Oz on a radio call-in show.

"Dr. Oz - because of your actions - I'm losing my medical coverage. Are you pleased with yourself? I've got cancer."

"What kind of cancer?"

"Lung cancer."

"You should buy Dr. Oz Crystal Cure ACR. ACR is amethyst, carnelian, and rhodonite. It's the formation you need and it's just $59.99 at my website. And I am pleased with myself. Next call.."

Really fretting I'm going to lose my medicaid because of this clown.

.......American bot.....? It's the only answer I can come up with for this psychological horror.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 9 points 11 hours ago

I replied to him with...

Scott - you're not actually hearing her. You only think that you are. Really.

He replied back to me in about a minute. I ended the convo there because it's pointless to speak to such people. He's a walking, talking, breathing parody of "Vote!" God fucking damn such libs are terrible.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I wish I had something positive to say other than I hope that doesn't happen to you.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago

Thanks, all we can do is see, sadly and I hate waiting.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I saw this as a joke over the weekend

uhhhhhhhh this isn’t the onion

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 13 points 13 hours ago

The Onion has to be careful. If they have a headline "Hulk Hogan to Head FBI" with Trump introducing him as the next director of the FBI and Hogan saying "Let's put 'em in jail, brother. Let's fight woke." And the very next day - that could happen.

Literally just picking the people their brainworms recognize on TV

how long until Mr. Beast runs for president?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 13 hours ago

Mr. Beast runs for president

The lathe is not a toy.

Another drifter?
