And I think it's attractive to more than just our base; meaning independents and apolitical types of course, not the repukes. People like no-nonsense types.

If it was on the fringe right it wouldn’t be a big circle jerk, it would be a mediocre expression of self love prematurely ended by those who have no working knowledge of what comprises an impeachment. Let alone how to lead or manage money. Just give them a big ole microphone to talk into and they’ll blather for hours.

If I lived in PA, I would have voted for him. Not just because I think he is truly one of the good and decent public servants, but because he's dang hilarious.

The proposals to impeach President Biden will backfire on the Freedom Caucus and McCarthy



https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/sen-john-fetterman-dares-house-republicans-impeach-biden-rcna103787

WASHINGTON — 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, Fetterman, D-Pa., suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems former President Donald Trump faces.....

Talk of an impeachment inquiry has gained steam in recent weeks, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., telling Fox Business last month that he was open to pursuing the matter if the administration doesn't turn over documents and information to House committees investigating Biden family business dealings, including those of the president’s son Hunter Biden. Some vulnerable Republicans, however, are skeptical about opening an impeachment inquiry.

Fetterman said impeachment would be a political "loser" for House Republicans, along with the looming threat of a government shutdown if they can't reach a funding deal before the end of the month.

“I’m just tired of a couple of them over there, talking like they’re hard a--es," Fetterman said. "They just keep pushing it.”
