Fetterman's growing on me

@Mik said in Fetterman's growing on me:

Yep. It would seem this was all to not look weak internally.

"We launched hundreds of rockets into the (secondary) Great Satan!"

[Mik]

It would be interesting to see how this was evaluated in the Iranian press.

"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…

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

I understood that much of it, but the “I’m here for that” comment after bashing Biden for not offering Israel unconditional support. It felt like a contradiction, and even sounded like he was enthusiastically supporting the Iranian counter-attack.

I think George has it right. And...

Since Pennsylvania is a swing state and he is a Biden man, reckon he's given Biden a bit of cover while throwing some shade on him? As in Biden is wrong on this issue, but so right on all of these, which is why I support him?

I’d like to see some polls. I imagine these protests are likely turning some public sentiment away from Palestine.

[Horace]

The more the public hates Palestine protestors, the more special and courageous those protestors are. This is why they got that advanced degree in some social science. This is what they trained for.

Look at the size of that Starbucks seating area. Nothing but space in the Midwest.

You forgot "stunning."

Courageous until you call them the wrong chosen gender. Then they evidently kill themselves en masse.

[Horace]

I mean they just walked in there and insulted everybody in the place. The manageability of the situation rests on the protestors being the only angry, unhinged people in the situation.

The protestors are simply “those people” to me. Every last one. Consequently those people’ are at liberty to read into whatever gender they’s people wish.

[George K]

[Mik]

Yep. I'm liking him more and more.

[jon-nyc]

He’s right, of course.

[Jolly]

Well, there is that...At least on this issue.

[George K]

@Jolly said in Fetterman's growing on me:

Yes. Don't forget to take the blinkers off.

Oh, he's right on Menedez as well.

I really haven't seen his positions on other things, but I assume he's a loyal Biden foot soldier.

[LuFins Dad]

Relating the protests to Charlottesville was a step too far.
