New in PJ Media:
It used to be taken for granted on both sides of the aisle that once the presidential election was over, the country should unite behind the president, whoever he was, and support him for the good of the nation. Disagreements would begin almost immediately, of course, but there used to be what was generally known as a “honeymoon period,” during which politicians of both parties paid tribute to the national unity by wishing the new chief executive all success. But that was in an earlier, less fractious age; now, Sen. John Fetterman (D-But Sane), has landed in hot water with the left for stating what used to be a commonplace sentiment.
Fox News reported Sunday that Fetterman “says he hopes President-elect Trump is successful, and spoke out against those who feel otherwise.” Every senator should be saying the same thing, but Fetterman was one of the few Democrats, if not the only one, to dare to state publicly that Bad Orange Man shouldn’t fall on his face and end up behind bars, or worse, before his term of office is up.
“I’m not rooting against him,” Fetterman said sensibly; after all, if the president fails, the nation suffers, so what American should be wishing for that? “If you’re rooting against the president,” Fetterman continued, “you are rooting against the nation. And I’m not ever going to be where I want a president to fail. So, country first. I know that’s become maybe like a cliche, but it happens to be true.”
Leftists were predictably enraged. Over at Bluesky, where the hard-left can let its freak flag fly without having to put up with the benighted, hateful, and evil ones who dare to dissent from their crystal-clear vision of what constitutes truth and righteousness, our moral superiors were giving full vent to their tolerance and broad-mindedness. “Fetterman,” said one, “is a giant moron.” Another waxed eloquent: “F**king Fetterman can f**k off. There. I said it. I love being able to use the F word here. And f**king Fetterman deserves it. F**king traitor.”
One of Fetterman’s supporters felt betrayed, saying: “Can someone tell me what in the chicken fried F**K happened to John Fetterman? I spent an entire day making calls for that dude. Twice!” Democrat strategist Adam Parkhomenko struck a tone more of sorrow than of anger, saying: “I really wish John Fetterman would remember the people who stood by him, prayed for him, and cheered him on.” Another Bluesky prophesied: “He’ll be on Fox next.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Senator Fetterman seems to have made a good recovery from his stroke, as witnessed by listening to his latest statements. I have followed his comments since October 7 of last year and I can say I am happy with his adherence to common sense.

Yeah, I had no idea that a stroke can have such an uplifting effect on a person’s mental acuity. If that’s what a stroke does to a person, I wish for several strokes for myself 😈

The left including Cheesy Chuck (you) Schumer thought they had an easy colleague, considering the brain damage he had sustained as a result of the stroke. A stoke typically creates a pretty reliable Democrat. Easy to control. Do what you say, etc.
But then he started getting better. As his brain was repaired or signals rerouted, he started to behave, talk, and act more like a human being rather than a Democrat.
They hate that.
Pray Hard says
When are leftists (and moslems) not enraged?
Andrew Blackadder says
I didn’t recognize the dude in a Suit Shirt and Tie and now I dont recognize the words of a DemocRAT speaking common sense so just like Bill Maher they are leaning more and more away from what the Demoncrats have become and The Left in general.
Wish they would both do a Tulsi and RFK moment and wake the hell up already.and join the Republican Party.
James Lincoln says
After Joe Biden was “selected” to be the “occupier” of the Oval Office, I was asked by a Biden supporter if I hoped that Biden would “do a good job for the country”.
I said certainly, as long as he leaves the policies put in place by Pres. Trump – alone.
I did not want the country to fail – just to be proven right by voting for Pres. Trump…
