Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave Sen. John Fetterman a "silver-plated beeper" this week in reference to Israel's 2024 explosive pager attack.

    I think I’d be wary of any pager given by BB. Guess if it explodes it no big loss.

      I had such high hopes for fetterman too. Like this guy could maybe bridge the trumpers to logic town. So disappointing.

        That stroke killed off the moral parts of his brain, it’s sad to see who he’s become.

          No it didn’t. He was always a class traitor. He was always a rich entitled prick

          Paraphrasing from a comment I made where this was posted somewhere else:

          He once held an innocent black jogger at gunpoint with a loaded shotgun because someone set off some fireworks nearby, who was elected to gentrify his town and mainly did his “amazing projects” because his rich dad suddenly was willing to dump a ton of money into the town now that his kid was mayor (on top of paying his kid 50k a year since the mayor gig paid dick)

          Also his second election he literally abused his power to release confidential arrest records on his opponent to smear his record. And he only won the first time by a single vote.

          He was placed in the mayor gig to gentrify the town and remove “undesirables”. He is a class traitor from the beginning. He is a rich daddy’s boy who never did any serious work and was bank rolled by privilege. He was happy to take his generational wealth and use that to uproot people from “his” town that he felt didn’t meet the “target demographic”. Neolibs loved this because on paper he raised property values! He lowered crime! But he didn’t do this by addressing any systemic issues or helping the community in any real way. He did it by sweeping problems under the rug

          This was all during his mayor time. Looooooong before the stroke. Oh and also he refuses to apologize for the holding a black guy at gunpoint thing and always has. He refused during his senate run, even though it was a super high tension time because Ahmaud Arbery had recently occurred which was basically the same exact situation except ending in murder this time. Neolibs kept burying the story in the media because “he wears a hoodie!” played well and ultimately he hits the dnc points (rich kid, class traitor, aligned with Israel)
