Really, you could cut the headline to "Fetterman made his first post on truth social", and I'd still be disappointed, the rest just put a cherry on top.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Maybe the public is right to distrust institutions.
Okay I know what happened, he historically died, but a time traveler took over over his conciousness right before his death and now controls his body. John Fetterman is dead, this is just some time traveler fucking around with the past.
/s Shout outs to Travelers, go watch it its great.

Oh my god, I hate that I've voted for this dude multiple times.
What a fucking disappointment.
Don't know why people were disappointed, this is who he's always been
Man this world is weird.
Brain damage?
He won’t deny that.
so he understands that trump is guilty, of treason, and he wants him off the hook.
Things looked like we might finally see justice, but after this victory, I think he got away free. Pardon or not.
I think those advocating on pardoning him now think that this would remove his incentive to turn DOJ into his personal agency, but he likely will do that anyway no matter what.
Post summary says he's calling for a pardon on the campaign finance fraud case (the porn star hush money). So assuming that's an accurate summary he's not calling for a pardon on treason. Also it's a state crime so it's not one the president can pardon anyway.
ohhh I didnt read to clarify as I figured it was the only federal charges that were outstanding. Thank you for putting me straight on this issue. So its just as it always is, theater.
I hate to tell you but this isn't ending then or anytime soon.
2028, the year we will be finally rid of both of these dingbats from politics (hopefully)
What the fuck happened to him? He seemed so promising just a few years ago.
Never trust someone from York county.
Brain damage. He had a stroke a few years ago and switched from liberal to conservative real fast.
He was never particularly liberal... he just had enough money to throw around in grand acts that people assumed he was generous and cared about regular people.
He was always like this, he just became more abrasive after the stroke.
We just closed our eyes and looked the other way when he showed himself to be a rabid zionist and assumed he'd grown from when he chased a black man through neighborhood with a shotgun.
You see him go against AIPAC-backed corpo dems in the primary and interpreted some labor rhetoric and putting a hammer and sickle in his profile pic and it's easy to mislead yourself.
It's what happens when you don't do the critical part of critical support.
This is different from Sinoma who simply lied about all of her positions.
I think this is the most charitable interpretation.
I can forgive virtually everything else he's said... But suggesting Biden grant a pardon to a man who has shown no remorse or even an admission that his alleged crimes might be wrong is so far off the path of wisdom that i dont think its even fair to count his seat "blue".
