just like that.
Shapiro now willing to listen, there must be more money out there than even in sports!!!

I see no indication that they would want that.

I didn't realize they had 54 seats.

What is up with this guy? They tortured Fetterman when he got elected.

Fetterman switching would be the 53rd.

Last night I was like "I know they had 49 seats and I think they picked up 3 seats, but for some reason I the number 53 keeps sticking out." I had to look it up myself.

In November, they picked up WV, PA, and Montana. That's 52, unless in missing one maybe?

But can you tell me which one I missed?

I was just lying down for a nap. Will look it up later.

Sherrod Brown lost.

Does affect the personality, especially if he was somewhat a borderline centrist to begin with.

I don't know Pennsylvania politics, but I do have experience with Privileged Majority Grievance Derangement Syndrome.
It can affect even liberal and progressive folks who benefit from being a majority gender or race without acknowledging the privileges inherent in being "the social norm" in the organizational hierarchies they operate in.

It takes a lot of unpleasant self-awareness to realize when the self-centered "don't you dare ignore my needs or take my stuff" feeling hits one during the consideration of sharing opportunities and benefits with different or minority population.

Haele

His pumpkin has been scrambled.

the body snatchers got him.

and no one on the Republican side ever finds a conscience and goes independent, much less Dem? It's really disheartening to see you can't trust people to stay on the side of truth, normalcy, dignity, public service, etc.

He then caucused with Democrats, costing Republicans the Senate. Lincoln Chafee switched too.

on his way to switching parties.

Greenland isn't for sale.

JFC with these people.

How many more of these are in the Democratic party.😡

your head.

That's quite a long hospital stay for treatment of clinical depression. Reportedly, he's currently on medication. Obviously, something's still not right with Fetterman.

Good thing for Fetterman U.S. Senators receive excellent mental health care. That's probably why he wants to hang on to his job.

Fuck this guy.

Or that Denmark would sell? This whole conversation is stupid.

Any day now, I expect.

A "responsible" way to show that Trump is insane.

This is vile on his part. I do not at all think he believes this, so this is performative signaling to the fascist Republican Party.

Both Denmark and its semiautonomous territory Greenland say it’s not for sale. I suppose I could go around saying I want to buy Florida and my wife could say that it was a responsible conversation, but it would still sound crazy to most folks and a giant waste of breath.

Maryland wants the southern 3 - 4 miles of Pennsylvania back.
Damn Mason and Dixon were bribed by the quakers to shift the line south.
Does that mean Fetterman is not the legal Senator for Pennsylvania?
Just asking.
Just having a reasonable conversation.

...why join in on that imperialist cosplay bullying?

Why not Baltic Ave and Park Place?

* actually, never mind... I do like being the one (or one of the many) who expressed our doubts.

I'm feeling more disheartened than "disappointed". It's hard to be disappointed over something that I was kind of expecting in the first place. --- Oh well. It's not like we had control of the Senate anyway.

being too normal.

No. It is not a responsible discussion. It is a distraction.

A 100% planned distraction to take our eyes off the coming shit storm of
fascism, cryptocurrency scams, theft of everything by Trump, and that the
election was dirty as shit brought to us by Musk, the GRU, and the biggest
criminal in American history is now going back into the White House.

I smell Bannon & Roger Stone all over these false flags.

Normalize Mump And giving advice to Dems.

* and, actually, I was "happy" with Manchin because I knew that WV couldn't do any better than that. (At least he caucused with the Dems and helped us to keep the majority control).

But when it comes to PA, we can definitely do better. I'm sympathetic to his health and mental issues, but I feel like Lamb would have been a better choice and a stronger voice and someone who could better represent the interests of their constituents... and someone who would help to strengthen and unify Democrats rather than what we're seeing now.

Unless he resigns, we've got a bit of a wait before the next election. And, honestly, I don't see him running again... or being able to win a primary challenge.

I don't know why people write off states. There is no reason why a progressive could it win in West Virginia.

Jesse Jackson came to Appalachia in 1988 — and he kept coming back.

After all, the way things are is the way they will always be?

"Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not?"

Robert F. Kennedy

As quoted by his brother Ted in the eulogy he delivered at RFK's funeral, June 8th, 1968.

What else from the past should we jettison so that we can be "realistic" and "pratical?"

How has being "realistic" and "pratical" worked out?

It stopped being 1968 long, long ago, back when people decided to be "realistic" and "pratical." We have lost ground ever since.

I for one refuse to live in that "real world" you are talking about.

Price of eggs and inflation!

Wouldn't other members be obligated to defend it if they were attacked, even by another member?

Performance artist!

Fuck anyone who is normalizing his madness!

Democrats need to be rid of him, just as soon as possible.

Only if Greenland was for sale. Denmark shows no interest in having that conversation.

So really, its’s just another stupid idea from Trump.

'Buying and being bought.'

hope I’m not tricked into doing that.

My MIL went from being the sweetest, kindest grandmother to almost mean to her grandkids. Not physically, just in the things she would say to them. We had to stop letting her babysit for us.

My FIL went from being gregarious to quite introverted. He killed himself about five years after the stroke.

Both did not become better people after their strokes. Fetterman, thus far, has done the same.

Sad.

Sorry everyone, but it's true.

That's the important thing. Of course, if Greenlanders want to be owned by the United States, that's their prerogative. I don't think they do though. If I were a Greenlander I would choose to stay with Denmark. Look how the U.S. treats Puerto Rico.

Shame on him.

of having breakfast and lunch at 2 restaurants that were pioneers in ignoring Covid rules. Local Dems are still angry. Patronizing these places and then rubbing it in, for whom?

Please someone call his handler.

he Scolds Dems.. does he Ever Scold Treasonous magats?😡

release the MRI scans of your brain, Senator, so the rest of us Democrats can understand your physiological pathology.

It's responsible to discuss purchasing something the current foreign state says isn't for sale?
It appears to be a silly idea & waste of time, which is the opposite of responsible government.
A responsible conversation would be about lowering the prices on food staples, not nonsense about buying Greenland.

Primary him. Let's see how he votes.

and exactly where exactly are we gonna get the money to buy a territory that large and rich in resources? We're over 30 trillion in debt right now. Is Trump gonna tax the rich at a significantly higher rate? Of course he won't. This whole thing is beyond ridiculous.
