Man I wish I had a job that I didn’t have to show up for the stuff I thought was boring and useless.
I get it. I too often need shaming in order to do the job that I was elected to do
We should shame that dude right outta congress…
Edit: Apologies for the hot take and one line response. And I’m trying to do less of this. But Fetterman, he is no longer fit for public service and that happened awhile ago. I hope his constituents have come to the same conclusion.
he acts like he doesn’t have the right to resign at any point in time, never mind for health-related reasons.
If you can’t handle staying, then…leave? Is that an unreasonable take?
But these people would support corporations forcing people back to offices because… „you work for them“.
how about just resigning
> “My doctor warned years ago: After it’s public that you are getting help for depression, people will weaponize that,” Mr. Fetterman said in his office this week. “Simple things are turned. That’s exactly what happened.”
Bro it ain’t the depression… it’s the stroke.
The people of Pennsylvania deserve to have someone representing them who actually wants to do the job.
The only reason this goon was elected is because his opponent was possibly the worst candidate ever put forth in Pennsylvania. Now he doesn’t want to do the job and when he does he refuses to represent the will of those well elected him, instead vying for Trump’s favor.
Your country thanks you for doing the bare minimum, FetterManchin.
This creep needs to resign yesterday.
Can this asshole resign already?
Shamed? He’s being paid to do a job!
Dude, that’s part of your job. If you can’t do the bare minimum, then you need to GTFO
To be honest, I wish he could be shamed into leaving.
All of us fed employees were „shamed“ into returning too. And by shamed I mean threatened with termination and *still* were vilified by the administration after we returned to the office. Fuck Fetterman.
So he doesn’t attend votes. He doesn’t attend hearings. He doesn’t hold town halls. He doesn’t strategize with the caucus. Other than bombing kids, there is no cause that he advocates for. What exactly *does* this motherfucker do, other than pal around with war criminals? And why exactly should we the taxpayers be funding his almost-200k-a-year salary?
Aww poor baby was shamed into doing his actual job.
Fucking step down already Jesus
The entitlement here is staggering.
„I choose to stay home with my family instead of showing up for my six-figure job with platinum health insurance, and now I’m being attacked“
Sickening.
Then get out of politics. Smh
It’s his fucking job, the shame should be from having to be pressured into turning up.
Shamed into receiving a paycheck from the taxpayers to show up to work? Did I get that right?
If you can’t preform your duties as a representative you need to resign. Let someone physically and mentally fit do the job.
„I’ve been shamed into doing my job.“ Good grief.
Dude, just resign already. If you have to be shamed into doing your job it is time.
If he cares about Keystoners he needs to resign. He’s unreliable and needs to get serious health issues addressed
He should be shamed into resigning
It’s his own behavior that’s shamed him. First he flipped to being more Centrist in his views, votes, and message. Then there’s the airplane seatbelt video. From what I’ve seen, he seems unwell and the angry shell of the former man that made so many other people believe in him.
If he’s too ashamed to do his job, then he should resign. Considering how hard Republicans have defended his erratic behavior, I think he’ll switch sides.
The article says this guy stays home in PA on Mondays so he can hang out with his kids. He also stays home on Thursdays so he can hang out with his dad. That means his weekend starts on Thursday and then he’s back in DC on Tuesday?
I think people are more pissed off about his 2-day workweek and unconditional support of Israel rather than his mental health.
