Fetterman's growing on me
-
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized Democrats who have spoken out against President Joe Biden, arguing that those who are “might as well just get your MAGA hat.”
The Pennsylvania senator’s comment comes as Biden is seeking reelection this November, with former President Donald Trump being his likely opponent. Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, multiple Democratic lawmakers and strategists have spoken out against Biden, citing recent policy decisions the president has made and concerns about his electability.
“I don’t understand why,” Fetterman said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “I don’t know what’s in it for you to do that, whether you’re just chasing clout or you want to make it in the news or anything like that. But if you’re not willing to just support the president now and say these kinds of things, you might as well just get your MAGA hat because you now are helping Trump with this.”

Principled...
Libs of TikTok dives into bill - finds funding for what it finds "weird."
Fetterman pulls support for bill because it funds some weird stuff.
Bill pulled.
Fetterman finds out that Libs of TikTok revealed this.
Fetterman pulls his withdrawal.
HIs withdrawal of the withdrawal is moot, because it's already a non-issue.

“Oh, Bob Menendez,” he said, laughing. “What a guy. What a guy. He’s still running his mouth against Biden right now.”
“He needs to go. I don’t understand why he can be here, having expelled Santos,” he said. “But I’m sure there might be a very innocent explanation of having gold bars in your mattress and overstuffed envelopes of cash.”

Paraphrasing a comment: "One more CVA and he'll go full MAGAT."
"And, second, I think that also was — Iran had to have some fireworks after Israel smoked that Iranian general, and I am here for that."
Not sure I am understanding that one…

Me neither.

I think he means that, after the strike on the embassy, Iran felt like it had to so some kind of pro-forma retaliation.

There are a lot of analysts saying that as well. Tehran had to do something more for domestic consumption than to engage Israel directly over the strike on its consulate. After all, that airborne ordinance this weekend had to fly over Jordanian and Saudi territory (Syrian too, although it probably doesn’t matter much) to get to Israel. Now done, Iran would prefer an immediate return to the shadow war with Israel it has been waging since 1979.
