Senator Fetterman joins Truth Social, Denounces Trump NY Trial

I moved from a town in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area in West Virginia, that sat on the border, to Pittsburgh. I can drive back in under a hour if I wanted to. My senator in WV was Joe Manchin, who was pretty much the median point between the Democrats and Republicans. He survived in a state notorious for trying really hard to impeach every Democrat on the WV Supreme Court (most of the little F'ers rejected their inpeachment and stayed). So Manchin had to strike a very delicate balance and stay. During the last election I was in WV, my county for the first time swung blue to red. In this most recent election, the neighboring counties in PA turned red as well. This is coincidentally Fetterman county.

So Fetterman is in the same place as Senator Manchin was.... he has to default be a moderate, not a party extremist. Far left politics is suicidal in a working class part of the country, absolutely nobody wants the racism and hate that comes from it.

This is the political median. It be like a republican in a district trending liberal having to adopt the least threatening liberal ideas while playing to his base. It will involve a steong dose of populism in Fetterman's case, unlike Manchin who played more of a PR angle (one of the reasons my old county rejected him) instead of backing local populism.

The region is ground zero for western PA turning red. Any liberal ideals that survive will have to jump on this bandwagon over time, but for the moment, as far as America goes, Fetterman is about as politically neutral as it gets. He's still a leftist, but he has to play for both teams from now on. He culturally doesn't feel very close to San Francisco or Washington. He outright rejected the antisemitism of the left, which is a gut instinct for the region that wants nothing to do with it. It's a region that wants nothing to do with bizarre liberal bull. One of the reasons the governor was rejected for Kamala's VP. We just don't want anything to do with any of it. Doesn't enter into our equation or outlook.
Interesting dynamic, and you accurately point out how both Manchin and Fetterman have had to carefully navigate the waters as liberals operating in a conservative, working class environment.

"The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both bulls---, and pardons are appropriate,” the senator’s first post reads. “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division." John Fetterman

This guy is pretty cool. Dems should look into him for 2028...but he's probably not a big enough rat and isn't really whacked out crazy enough for them.
@4meAndyou I wouldn't recommend Senator Fetterman as President. I have high likelyhood of having to meet one of his aids eventually like I did with Senator Manchin (it involved government inaction on my first OSINT oversees kidnapping case), but Fetterman has unique issued due to brain damage- he has hearing issues so he has to have all spoken language typed out live feed before him in order to respond. This is fine in the Senate- the Senate can afford the cost of such a disability handicap, but I wouldn't want Fetterman in say, the high stakes interpresonal situation of The Yalta Conference:


or stuck in a high pace, do we shoot or not situation, with him sitting around Generals or CIA Operatives in some bunker or Situation Room. That is the wrong time to have some caption projector to konk out.

It's part of the reason I like Trump putting Tulsi Gabbard in charge of all the intelligence agencies. I know some women are looking towards her as the first female president, and while I think her background working in a MASH unit in the military is a massive plus if for no other reason she won't be intimidated or confused by high rank, I wouldn't begin to trust her in the role as Secretary of Defence as a pacifist. Being our chief of assassins (pretty much her job) will force her to make decisions on who to kill and why, testing her ethics- and the US is going to be killing alot of ISIS and Shia militias across Syria and the middle east and europe and perhaps the Western Hemisphere for the next few years at a really high rate due to the balance of power radically reshaping after the collapse of Syria. Basically this is Tulsi's weakest angle, and she is going to get some excellent on hands training to be commander in chief. Being a traditional woman with narror blinders on is a bit of a disability as well when doing that sort of stuff, but she accepted the job and she is going to have to do it now. Once she hears of some terror group moving WMDs into NATO I think her anus is going to pucker up, and will have to revaluate her ethics.

Fetterman can read the hard classified files and come to conclusions, have less a issue on making basically a death warrant, but I don't want him live talking to a helicopter or fighter pilot remotely with static and audiobreakups. He will be helpless. So just a big no on Fetterman. He can stay a Senator. Or do Health and Human Resources or some lesser cabinet position like that.

@Dignaga His condition has improved a LOT, and he no longer needs to have messages typed out.
@4meAndyou I saw him on Joe Rogan just after Trump did his interview. Fetterman had to stop the interview because he wasn't able to see the feed going in the beginning. I can accept this happening on Joe Rogan, but never in the White House.

For specifics, there was a Air Force Pilot and philosopher named Colonel John Boyd. He came up with a concept called The OODA Loop:


This is supposed to map out the human reaction cycle. We train our fighter pilots on it, so they can react quicker than their opponents in a dog fight. Fetterman would utterly fail this if he had to make instant decisions on nuclear strikes, or on CIA snipers taking a shot on foreign soil, or talking to naval ships asking if they should return fure against Iran or China. Just no fucking way ever I would support Fetterman in this role, and it exclusively boils down to that, not a analysis of his competency elsewhere.

Tulsi will have to do this on a smaller scale, so it will force her to learn to take life and weigh the consequences as a commander in chief. As long as she doesn't screw up like Hillary in Libya, I think she is a eventual guarantee for a future middle of the road politically president able to reunite the country.

And as a sidenote, my user name Dignaga- a medieval indian buddish philosopher- he also developed a OODA Loop, but instead of Observe then Orient like Colonel Boyd, it was Orient then Observe. Dignaga is correct in terms of pure cognition.
if felony gun charges is politically driven. then thousands of young black men need immediate pardons... like hunter

Fetterman is basically for sale to anyone or any cause that will buy him off. His stances are whatever his donors tell him they will be.
