Jesus Christ, I really think Fetterman suffered brain damage from his stroke.

our continent and not physically attached to the US at the time, as was the Louisiana Purchase lands.

He sure seems to have staked out the claim of being the new Sinema or Manchin...or maybe worst. He may switch to the rethug party.

What a disappointment he is.

if elon wants something in green;and, let him buy it from the danes or inuit who own it..

that he is mentally unstable. who is this guy anyway.

miss that part, Fetterman?!?

Stop trying to normalize Mump.

He's building up to it so it somehow seems like a reasoned evolution. Hope I'm wrong.

…if Trump threatened his family. His wife is Brazilian, and they have three kids. The Trump regime would deport all of them.

It is not anything like the Louisiana Purchase. At all.

Malcolm is a fighter. I hope he is elected to national office one day.

Glad we don't have the majority or who knows what this moron would prevent.

Jefferson had to borrow money from England to pay Napoleon for the Louisiana Purchase. Trump is talking about taking Greenland by force. "My gun is bigger than your gun." Like Dick Cheney's attempted grab of Iraq in 2003 for its oil, Musk, dba Trump, wants to grab the rare earth metals of Greenland (even they know that taking China probably won't work). Musk doesn't have a military. Once inaugurated, Trump does.

If Fetterman is truly blind to the difference, I don't see him lasting the year as a member of our party. Unless he truly has brain damage, I can't shake the notion that something is going on here that none of us yet know about. He is in no dire danger of being defeated in a re-election campaign in the near future. So there must be some other kind of motive for him to suddenly start behaving like Manchin light. There is exactly ONE "reasonable conversation" to have about acquiring Greenland from Denmark: are you, the people of Greenland and Denmark, interested?" When the answer comes back "NO," any further conversation is no longer reasonable.

*on edit-- if Fetterman jumps on the bandwagon of discussing Harry Truman's actions in the year 1867, he should quietly make his exit now. If not, it's not too late to return to sanity a couple of years before his presumed re-election campaign. The Republicans won't try to claim temporary insanity when his insanity consisted of repeating their lines verbatim.

I am wondering about him lately.

I'm from the Midwest and knew nothing about Fetterman until he ran for the Senate, but I remember a lot of enthusiasm here at DU when he announced his senatorial run, from people who were familiar with him. A lot of people here seemed to think he was great at the time. But here he is, two years into his term, and he keeps saying really weird things. I haven't been following him closely enough to have a strong opinion on what's going on, but I am perplexed. He just doesn't sound like the Democrat so many Pennsylvanians were excited to vote for a couple of years ago.
