'Top Tier Trolling': Fetterman Gifts House GOP Case of Bud Light Over Biden Impeachment Hearing
The Democrat "directed his staff to deliver a gift to the House Oversight Committee to congratulate and salute Rep. Comer and his Team America™ squad as they embark on their historic impeachment journey."

When I worked for Allegheny County I attended a bunch of meetings that included Fetterman. He seemed like a genuine dude. Spent a lot of his time as mayor of Braddock living in the rear of the town offices, he got nasty with established politicians in the town to get a number of his reforms passed and was a constant hound on the county execs until they granted funding to several of his projects.
Braddock, for those not from the Pittsburgh area, has been a really rough place for decades. It has been on the list of most dangerous places in the US repeatedly. His mayoral policies have been tied to a general decrease in violent crime, as well as several major improvements in the QOL stats in Braddock. The dude got to know the local gang youth and personally worked with a bunch of them to help them leave the life style. When one would get killed he would get their name tattooed on himself.
I would have preferred having his corpse in state office than that celebrity snake oil salesman.
What did he do as mayor? It sounds like he got things running the right way.
Out of state… but like, I think I’d like to see fetterman as president. Or anything, really. I love his style- and as an outsider he has that one quality that’s usually fatal to politicians: he actually, genuinely, cares.
Off the top of my head I can't remember everything. However, he worked with several PACs to get a budget increase to the local schools, he and several members of the town's staff retained money from several major corporations, like PNC, to fund a fairly diverse set of extra-curricular activities and clubs for the local school as well as cover the costs to the students for those activities. Braddock had pretty much no where for people under 21 to do anything so he worked with a number of groups to get a pretty decked out community center built that, beyond a place to hang out and play, offered martial arts, classes in visual arts, music lessons, after school tutoring, and, IIRC, Wiz Khalifa put in money to add a studio with classes on sound engineering, production, etc. He and his wife opened a free grocery store available to those without food. They laid the ground for a government run, non profit, grocery store to address the food desert situation as well as provide more affordable food. He worked with a number of local community leaders, from churches to business owners, to reach out to kids getting into trouble with police, give them part time jobs, teach trade work, etc.
He fought very hard to get a lot of infrastructure improvements as well. Roads, public buildings and facilities, etc. He also helped get funding for a free to user day care.
Well to be fair that quality almost killed him. Glad to see his mental health is doing better.
Get this man on the ballot.
I can’t agree more with the new representatives and especially Fetterman actually calling the GOP on their bullshit antics and nonsense rhetoric, this is exactly what is needed to drum up support for the democrats and paints them as on the offense instead of constantly being on the defense making them look like they’re unwilling/unable to hold their own when it comes to treating GOP like the petulant child they have been/and are since Trump was in office this kind of behavior has exploded exponentially. And destroyed what little credibility they had left.
Fetterman is what I thought we were finally getting when Pelosi ripped Trump's State of The Union speech up behind his back.
democrats are very efficient in shooting themselves in a foot. He's not getting on the ballot as he doesn't represent established clique. None of the progressives got anywhere because of Democrats top echelon. US needs an nee party with all progressive Democrats moving there. Maybe then there's some chance for a country.
I wish the dems had split when the tea party split from Republicans. We could have ended up with party reform in the Democrat party, just as the Republicans reformed when the tea party loons were brought back in.
Imagine your impeachment inquiry getting upstaged by a guy in a hoodie with a case of bud light
If the secret weapon against the GOP is guys in hoodies with a case of Bud Light, I'll scour every 7-Eleven and college campus in the country
Hell yeah, brother!
Everything he does is terrific. It's like his stroke only made him more powerful.
This is fantastic, need more like him
His stunt was lauded online as "top tier trolling," given that some right-wing political leaders and other transphobic figures behind attacks on LGBTQ+ people and rights have boycotted Bud Light this year because of its paid partnership with trans social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
top tier
Is this really all that's required to be "top tier". Have we fallen so far?
Fetterman has the backdoor to becoming a political juggernaut. If democrats would stop being afraid of the big bad GOP we might actually back them with some pride.
Fetterman has the backdoor to becoming a political juggernaut.
It helps that he's already literal juggernaut
The more I see from him the more I like him. We need more politicians like this. Conservatives deserve to be trolled at every level of government.
That's my senator!!! 😁
Ty!!! Blue rust belt!
I voted for Fetterman and I'm so glad to have him as a Senator. When a major bridge collapsed in my neighborhood, he showed up immediately in gym shorts to assure us that he would get it taken care of. Sure enough, a new bridge was built quickly and with an added bike lane. 10/10 would vote for him again.
I didn't use to buy Bud Light. After the conservative hate, it's basically the only beer I buy.
I like Fetterman for his policies/opinions and I like the quips like when he was asked about impeachment and he said a fake "oh nooooo" or whatever...but this is so staged and cringy it gets into Fellow Kids territory.
Normal for a politician, below my standard for Fetterman.
We need votes anywhere and everywhere. He's progressive AF, let him talk to the kids their way
ah, Bud light, the drink of BT Oddkast
Le epic troll! Conservatives seething!!! definitely doesn't have a pr firm running his public strategy!!!
I don't care for Fetterman, but his "slob" attitude and look is stupid. Have some pride in what you do, there's people all over the world that envy your position, including our own people.
Styles change over time. I don't see you calling people slobs for leaving home without their hat.
I like it. It's approachable. Like he could be my neighbor.
Ah, the racist Frankenstein's monster has worshippers everywhere. One of the things I didn't like about Reddit was the fawning worship of that ballbag.
He held a black jogger at gunpoint because he fit the description. And no I don't care that the jogger forgave him. Fuck that guy.
Source?
Otherwise you sound like a troll or a lunatic.
Not OP, but some context here https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/john-fetterman-black-jogger-2013-shotgun-20220425.html
For the record, are you a way far left liberal with no common sense, or just another run-of-the-mill conservative troll feigning concern over racism?
As mayor, he heard what he thought was gunshots, and pursued who he thought did it until the police were able to intervene. He was wrong in hindsight, but what long-term harm came of it, other than it being a scary situation?

When you accuse some of racism and then proceed to judge them based on how they look it makes you look no better. Maybe be a good way to have conversation is to not make yourself look like an ass.
He held a black jogger at gunpoint because he fit the description.
How is it racist? Wouldn't it be racist if he didn't fit the description? I don't really have context on what happened, but from what you said there's nothing seemingly racist about it.
You should probably look up the story first before jumping in with your "he did nothing wrong" opinion. And your lookism is equal to racism idiocy was just piled on top of that.
Yawn... try harder.
So you've been convinced to base your entire opinion of him on dicey extrapolations from a single event?
Wow. You're easy to program.
