Democrats Expel Fetterman After Repeated Warnings To Stop Supporting America

Senate Democrats voted to expel Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman on Thursday after their repeated warnings for him to stop supporting America were ignored.

Fetterman, who recently praised Trump's military action in Iran, was expelled under Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 of the Constitution after failing to fall in line with his Democratic colleagues.

"Hrrrrmmmmmmm," Fetterman reportedly said when he heard the news.

Ahead of his expulsion, Fetterman reportedly met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a closed-door meeting, the subject of which was leaked by congressional aides. "Listen here, Frankenstein, you've got some nerve supporting America, and you're going to pay, see?" Schumer allegedly said. "We vote on party lines here, got it?"

But the threat didn't stick, possibly thanks to Fetterman's tremendous girth, which makes taking a sledgehammer to his kneecaps impractical.

To expel Fetterman, Democrats needed a simple two-thirds majority and an oversized crane to physically lift Fetterman out of the Capitol Building after he refused to leave.

"So this is how democracy dies," Fetterman said following his expulsion. "With a giant crane."

Schumer was expected to appoint an interim senator to take Fetterman's seat and get back to destroying the country as soon as possible.

At publishing time, Republicans were reportedly inspired by the Democrats' impulsive move and had called for a vote to expel Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

Are you trying to distract from tRump's Strait of Hormuz debacle?? Have you seen the latest about mine sweepers???

Trump pulled mine-sweepers from the Middle East and they’re sitting in Philadelphia as the Iran War rages

On Monday, a massive cargo ship, M/V Seaway Hawk, was spotted on camera arriving in Philadelphia carrying a quartet of Avenger-class Mine Countermeasure Ships that were based at U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain as the Navy’s front-line deterrent against mining operations in the Middle East until this past fall, when the last of those ships, U.S.S. Devastator, was decommissioned.

... For the next four decades, the U.S. kept minesweepers forward-deployed in Bahrain to deter use of mines in the Gulf region amid fears that Iran could use them to effectively block the narrow chokepoint through which one fifth of the world’s oil supply passes each year.

But that long period of service ended in September with the decommissioning of Devastator, leaving only four Avenger-class ships in active service, based in the homeport at Sasebo, Japan.

@sunsporter1649 Oh, you mean the vessels known as "LITTLE CRAPPY SHIPS"????

... the Avenger-class and the fact that they've been replaced with highly complex Independence-class Littoral Combat Ships. These new vessels are designed for high-speed operation in the littoral zone (close to the shore). They feature an angular trimaran (three-hulled) design, can reach speeds of up to 52 mph, and are capable of carrying out numerous operations, including chasing down pirates. In terms of mine-clearing, Independence-class ships are modular and carry a variety of systems, including a mine countermeasure module. Others include anti-submarine warfare and surface warfare modules.

Now, here is the good part. The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program is widely considered a, if not the, significant failure in U.S. Navy procurement, characterized by massive cost overruns, mechanical breakdowns, and abandoned mission capabilities. Designed for speed and modularity, the ships failed to meet expectations for survivability and combat, leading the Navy to cut the planned fleet size from 55 to 35.

Key reasons for LCS program failure are mechanical failures & design flaws, failed mission concept, cost & reliability, (the program was plagued by massive cost overruns and low operational availability, earning nicknames like "little crappy ship"), and structural defects.

@sunsporter1649 This is much more than teething problems; it's bad enough that the Navy cut the planned fleet size. They only do that when they don't believe in the vessel.

In any case, a shooting war is the wrong time to be dealing with teething problems. Thankfully, we still have four Avenger-class ships in active service, based in Sasebo, Japan. And who knows, maybe they'll put those four from Bahrain back in service. tRump sure needs something extra to re-open the Strait of Hormuz!

You're among the more lost souls I see here. To work, satire needs to seem somewhat believable. There must be an element of truth to it. You don't just turn your guys into angels, the other guys into demons, with no regard for how history has played out, and expect it to work.
