Can his district initiate a recall vote?
He’s a senator, so it would be the state of Pennsylvania.
From my googling, there’s no legal mechanism in Pennsylvania to recall an elected official. However, even if there was, recalling a member of the U.S. Congress would be unconstitutional.
The Senate would have to throw him out, and that’s not likely as long as the Republicans benefit from having him there.
I think it should be up to the Democratic caucus then the State has to have a referendum on whether or not he stays.
The state has no say in the matter. Neither does the Democratic caucus. The Constitution defines the circumstances under which a member of Congress could be removed. The only way to change that would be via an amendment to the Constitution.
Proof that brain damage and right-wing are linked.
It always involves paranoia, which leads to conspiracies, which fundamentalism of any religion is full of.
There is definitely something wrong with this guy. He is crashing hard.
TBIs can significantly change your personality. Having a stroke - especially a serious one - is essentially a TBI.
On Tuesday, Fetterman said that the New York magazine article was built on “one source” with “a couple anonymous sources,” describing it as a “hit piece from a very left publication.”
Countdown to Fetterman switching parties in 3 … 2 …
Didn’t he switch ages ago in all but name?
Yeah he needs to quit
i feel like the oncoming American Spring is about to show people like fett what it means to shit the bed in historical times. i still have hope, but this summer is going to be a hot one. hoping for some good music to come of it all.
It feels more and more like the tv show BrainDead (2016) was a documentary. Shame more people didn’t see it.
Great show!
It would make me feel better about humanity if it was the same reason as the show.
Such a bummer that show got cancelled.
Completely forgot it existed until just now… Damn
Fetterman never asked for this.
He wants to stand in his garage sipping a beer.
You know, wild, insane conspiracy theory, but maybe the mental breakdown is more than just aftereffects from the stroke.
What if some republican patsy at a three letter agency has some serious blackmail on him? He’s a public figure, his actions easily scrutinized. As a senator his time, statements, and votes are public, and the government itself is doing the blackmail, so he can’t turn to anyone. If he resigns they release the blackmail. The only way to not have the blackmail released is to fake these issues. Or maybe the pressure is actually breaking him, who knows.
Or maybe he’s a democrat so this is who he was the whole fucking time.
It’s not that complex, he’s always been a POS even before his stroke, the stroke just disinhibited him. Plus paranoia and paranoid delusions are symptoms of brain damage
