Interesting thought on John Fetterman and his wife

Gisele Fetterman has been an advocate for immigrants. She is now a citizen but was an undocumented immigrant. Was Fetterman extorted to support Trump with threats to have her deported?

Now his brain doesn't work.

If you don't believe me, watch him talk.

Watch him stare vacantly.

One should not watch cable news while recovering from a stroke. That shit is poison for your mind.

The PA senator is and always has been a total fraud. He cosplayed as a blue-collar dude and fooled a lot of people, particularly in western PA, en route to his primary win over real Democrat Conor Lamb, who will kick his underdressed ass in the next primary.
The senator's roots in a central PA family fortune were well hidden behind his Home Depot couture and mayorship in dead steel town Braddock. Now, he couldn't get elected dog catcher in the commonwealth. Nor will you see him publicly set foot in the state he claims to represent.

He was mayor of some hole in the wall town in PA and had no real record other than how fast he filled potholes. He fooled us.

Hasn’t divorced him is because of her immigration status. Their marriage is not very good right now.

and finalized and she might be trying to get a pardon for her husband and/or brother. I'm sure she's nutty in general and a conservative, but that's a pretty good reason.
