Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) on Tuesday feigned a shocked reaction when asked about Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) announcement that he would direct House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
“Oh my god, really?” Fetterman said, raising his hands to the side of his head, when asked by an NBC journalist about the McCarthy news.
“Oh my gosh, you know, oh, it’s devastating,” Fetterman continued, before laughing audibly.
“Ooo, don’t do it. Please don’t do it! Oh, no! Oh, no,” he added, before walking off.
Which just highlights that US politics today is Cultists vs. Ordinary Folks.
I don’t want politicians who try to make me swoon, chant, march, brawl, or holler. I want politicians who sit down and do their goddamn job like responsible grown-ups. Fix the infrastructure. Uphold the treaties. Prosecute the criminals. Fill the appointed offices. Get justice done. Regulate the industries. Protect the workers.
“Make Politics Boring Again.” What it is to be American should not be about politics, government, or culture war. We have a pretty awesome thing going on in this country, and all the best parts of it have nothing to do with the presidency.
MPBA is just such an awkward arcronym.
MPBA sounds like a weird post-war Franco-Italian trade agreement.
