Sen. John Fetterman offered a message Wednesday to House Republicans considering impeaching President Joe Biden: “Go ahead, do it. I dare you.”
Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, the Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems facing former President Donald Trump.
“Your man has what, three or four indictments now?” Fetterman said. “Trump has a mug shot and he’s been impeached twice.”
“Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit,” he said.
The first-term senator went on to say that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” and “would diminish what impeachment really means.”
Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here’s a couple examples of his new look.
I lived in Pittsburgh for a decade, and man, you’re totally right - there were (are?) some serious ghost towns in the area. I recall a trip to Ford City where it was like “here is a town, there is a neoclassical courthouse, there are streetlights and pavement and buildings, but no cars or people.” Went to a bar there and there was literally nothing inside that would let you know you weren’t in the year 1985 (when it was 200X). Even the prices were out of the past. It was totally surreal.
Have you ever seen the movie The Deer Hunter? It’s set during the Vietnam war, and it’s shot in Pittsburgh’s Polish Hill neighborhood. It was shot in 1978, 45 years ago. Polish Hill still looks like that today.
I heard Polish Hill was getting gentrified like the “East End” aka the side of East Liberty that bougies decided to rename so their friends wouldn’t think they live in the scary ghetto with GASP… (whisper) black people. I used to hang out at Gooskies back in the day, though I heard it might be closing or closed? EDIT: I have not watched it but now it’s on my list, thanks! EDIT 2: Man you also brought back some memories of Nico’s Recovery Room - where you’d have blue collar guys side by side with Carnegie Mellon future millionaires. Fucking great.
