Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who has been known to buck his party in recent years, said in a Wednesday podcast episode that the Democrats are governed by Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

“Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?” The “All-in” podcast’s David Friedberg asked Fetterman in an interview posted Wednesday.

“Oh, we don’t, we don’t have one. I think, I think the TDS that — I think that’s the leader right now. You know, right now our party, is, is governed by the TDS, and now it’s made it virtually impossible, without being punished, as a Democrat, to agree something’s good, or ‘I agree with the other side,’ and I would define that by [Operation] Epic Fury,” Fetterman responded.

“I am literally the only Democrat in America, in Congress, that I’ve come across that’s saying, ‘I think it’s a great thing to break and destroy the Iranian regime,’” he added. (continues)


He's a goddamn idiot and an embarrassment to the commonwealth of PA. Fuck him.

1. Trump derangement syndrome?

Well, yes, we ARE bothered by Trump's derangement. Anybody who is sane would be bothered by Trump's very obvious derangement.

Guess that leaves Fetterman out of the sane category.

[LiberalLovinLug]

52. I've always thought that moniker suits the Trump cult much more.

They have become literally deranged in their worship of this sex offender felon. Where they can blithely support politicians who ignore facts, civil rights, and lawful orders.

[peppertree]

55. Absolutely. The only ones suffering from TDS, are Chumpkins - and Sen. Festerman himself.

That one also suffers from AIPAC-itis.

[UTUSN]

2. He's down all the way, even to the MAGAt parrot points

[Dunc]

3. TDS. Trump Diddles Schoolgirls.

Fetterman knifed all us who voted for him in our back.

[ananda]

14. He sure had me fooled.

What a lesson.

[Dunc]

16. He fooled me as well.

[mercuryblues]

24. Trump RAPES school girls.

[Blue Full Moon]

4. Fetterman is afflicted with Trump Derangment Syndrome.

[MustLoveBeagles]

5. He can't seem to get his lips off of dump's ass

[awesomerwb1]

6. And with him it's TWS

t.rump worshipping syndrome

What a POS this guy has turned out to be

[BannonsLiver]

7. That's rich coming from a guy whose brain is literally Great Value yogurt.

[Celerity]

27. Lolol

[GiqueCee]

8. John, sweetie, baby, cookie, honey...

... it's time for you to shut the fuck up!

[lame54]

9. The transformation is complete

[Cha]

59. No kidding. nt

[pat_k]

10. It's long past time for PA municipal and county governing bodies with a conscience to pass resolutions of condemnation..

... of the felon, his co-conspirator Vance, and cheerleader Fetterman.

[leftstreet]

11. Was a Democrat. Gets a brain injury. Becomes GOP

So sad

[Celerity]

29. That is exactly what happened. So telling as well.

[thebigidea]

65. Nah. he was always scum. People didn't dig deep enough

Bernie endorsed him, progressives called his opponent "corporate" even though they didn't know a damn thing about him. The end.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. He should be stripped of his committee assignments. Nt

[aocommunalpunch]

21. Why isn't he?

Shouldn’t a leader be doing that? Parent this dipshit.

[yaesu]

33. Like Garland, hear no evil, see no evil nt

[Fiendish Thingy]

39. I think senate committees run the duration until the next election

It’s not like the house, the rules are different.

But Schumer better kick him to the curb in January, especially if we have 52 or more seats (odds are improving daily)

[ybbor]

47. I have been thinking the same thing

Take his power away, he may flip, but hasn’t already?

[FullySupportDems]

13. Oh yeah? Well Republicans are governed by projecting their bad behavior onto others

And if they didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.

[Kid Berwyn]

15. It's because Trump is DERANGED

Democrats I know are smart in noticing that the guy's a psychotic pedophile as well as an imbecile, warmonger and most of all that matters to Democrats I know, a traitor.

[Omnipresent]

17. How many strokes has Fetterman had?

He clearly doesn’t understand that none of us appreciate his remarks, and that maybe if he doesn’t have anything nice to say about the Democratic Party, he can just shut the fuck up!!

[PJMcK]

18. Fetterman is deranged

ETA: He's one of my senators. I voted for him.

[Autumn]

19. Now this is what I call smearing Democrats. Way to go Fetterman

Or

[Jack Valentino]

95. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!! I get it !!!

Too bad he didn't post that on DU--- it would be 'hide-worthy'!!!

[bluestarone]

20. I really do not know how fetterman breaths. He's so far up tRUMPS ass, that i know

There is no oxygen where his nose is.

[Blue Owl]

22. So why the fuck isn't Fetidman a red-hat wearing MAGAt then?

Get the fuck out of the Democratic Party you fucking traitor

[IcyPeas]

23. Gisele Fetterman's X and Instagram profiles taken down weeks after she spoke against ICE

Was wondering about her.

Gisele Barreto Fetterman‘s social media accounts have been taken down after she spoke out about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this year. Her X and Instagram accounts were both inactive as of Thursday morning.

Barreto Fetterman, who formerly lived undocumented in the U.S. for more than a decade after emigrating from Brazil, posted about the emotional toll caused by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and other cities.

“Every day carried the same uncertainty and fear lived in my body — a tight chest, shallow breaths, racing heart,” she said in a post on X in late January, the day after a Border Patrol agent fatally shot civilian Alex Pretti. In the same month, an ICE agent fatally shot civilian Renee Good and the agency detained 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos.

“What I thought was my private, chronic dread has now become a shared national wound,"she added. “This now-daily violence is not ‘law and order.’ It is terror inflicted on people who contribute, love, and build their lives here. It’s devastatingly cruel and unAmerican.”

[City Lights]

25. No, John, you're confusing sane people with the MAGA cult.

The cultists are the ones suffering from TDS.

Stop insulting us, John.

[hatrack]

26. Yeah, he's deranged, and it shows. It's syndrome that's hurting the world and we're trying to fight it . . .

. . . and it we don't, it's going to become terminal.

And you're not helping, you contemptible turncoat piece of shit.

There are days I wonder if having Dr. Oz in the Senate and Fetterman nowhere wouldn't have been a better outcome.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. Fetterman needs to be primaried if he runs again

[Captain Zero]

30. My biggest regret in life may be

Donating to that bald man whore.
Can we get him switched to the
Capitol Restrooms Committee?
POS.

[MyOwnPeace]

38. I did the same.......

and had his sign in my front yard, a 'red' neighborhood.
I knew it had gone bad when my neighbor, a 'tRumper', said "Hey, this Fetterman may not be so bad after all....."

[debm55]

70. I agree, I should have voted for Lamb in the primary.

[Frasier Balzov]

31. I think of it as logical hatred of a villainous person.

[sop]

32. Just looking at him pisses me off.

[QueerDuck]

34. It just boggles my mind that he was elected.

[sinkingfeeling]

35. He has the same mental state as TSF. Anything Israel says, we should do.

[Oneironaut]

36. "His party" is MAGA Nazis

He has no Democratic beliefs and is indistinguishable from MAGA extremists in every way. There are literally no left wing beliefs he has anymore. Can the media please stop acting like he’s a scorned Democrat?

[durablend]

40. They won't

"Democrats in Disarray" makes click$$$

[BlueTsunami2018]

37. To use that term against his own party is nothing short of disgraceful.

It’s traitorous.

That term is used by scumbags to dismiss out of hand any and all accountability for very real crimes and fascistic behavior by this “President.”

I’m so disgusted by this person, so disappointed and embarrassed that I fell for his “Progressive” act in the campaign that I’m beside myself with anger. Seething with rage really.

He’s actually worse than any of the MAGAts because I never expected any better from them.

I despise fascists above anything except for those who enable them.

[Captain Zero]

44. He is a Quisling to Democrats and the country

Nt

[kentuck]

41. What is that ogre guided by?

It's time to send him home before he switches Parties.

[D_Master81]

42. Fah-Q

For the love of God just go be a republican already.

[LudwigPastorius]

43. "I think it's a great thing to break and destroy the Iranian regime'"

Too bad you didn't enlist out of college, you'd still be eligible to get shipped overseas and do some fighting.

[maxsolomon]

45. there is no such thing as TDS.

our loathing of MFer is based in cold, stark reality.

no Dem in the Senate has TDS or any love for the Iranian Regime.

[mountain grammy]

51. Exactly!

[lame54]

53. Another term for TDS...

Paying attention

[SallyHemmings]

46. I regret my vote for him hourly

[cab67]

49. I'd have voted for him, too.

I don't know if he was hiding his true self or if something happened to him, but voting for him was a rational decision at the time.

[lame54]

56. You did your part...

You kept OZ out of the senate

The rest is on him

[cab67]

48. when's he up for re-electon?

[Cha]

50. I got 4 words... WTF, Fetterman.

I like your words... TY!

[MustLoveBeagles]

54. This dude likes the sound of his own voice

He seriously needs to shut up 😡🤐

[3catwoman3]

57. We do not have Trump Derangement syndrome, we have TFS - Trump Fatigue Syndrome.

Or TES - Trump Exhaustion Syndrome

Or one that came to me this morning - TISFSOHS - Trump I'm So Fucking Sick Of HIm Syndrome

[usonian]

58. Projection.

"buck his party"

Your autocorrect made a mistake.

[Cirsium]

60. Fetter

Definitions are all the rage lately at DU.

Fetter: a shackle or chain that is attached to someone's ankles. To fetter someone is to restrict their movement, either literally or metaphorically.

[OMGWTF]

61. Is there a 25th Amendment for US Senators?

[johnp3907]

62. Shotgun John is the one who's deranged.

A DUer once complained about me calling him that. Hope they’re reading this!

[Escape]

63. I guess, to Fetterman.....

people who fear and hate CANCER have CDS...

[thebigidea]

64. Oh but Lamb was "too corporate," right?

As if he'd say such fucking idiocy.

[Maru Kitteh]

66. Kinda ironic, Fetterman questioning others mentation.

Is he really sure he wants to go there?

[Gary 50]

67. "I think it's a great thing to break and destroy the Iranian regime."

Yeah, it would be a great thing if that was what happened. It didn't. The odds that the people are going to rise up against the regime as the result of our attack are one in a million. We have probably strengthened the regime because there is nothing like being bombed by outsiders to unify those being bombed.

[DFW]

69. Bravo. That was the line that got me, too.

Nice goal. What, did he think all he had to do was press a button, and it would happen?

Half (or more!) of Iran would like to break and destroy the Iranian regime. too. But they don't want it at the price of seeing their country turned into Iraq, junior. But, of course, they are only the future of Iran, itself. Why would the Trumpanzees do something so obvious as to ask them?

[angrychair]

68. John Fetterman is a Democrat

A Democratically elected senator from Pennsylvania. It's a big tent and we should be listening to him and the key demographics of Democrats that support Trump because we will need them to defeat Trump.

[D_Master81]

71. I'd be fine with him if..

I understand what you’re saying but this dude literally goes out of his way to shit on the Democratic Party all the time. When has he ever criticized Trump or the GOP like this? tDS is literally the cult that 100% supports everything he says or does. Where is he to criticize the “American first” “no more war” people that are cool with us now sending hundreds of billions to the Middle East to fight?

[angrychair]

72. He is an elected Democrat

Maybe he is right and we all have this TDS and are all wrong and should support his opinions because he is our elected senator from Pennsylvania and he can only be right. I mean who are we to criticize fellow Democrats?

[nini]

73. He ran for office saying what people wanted to hear

His voting record doesn't back it up. So fuck him. We need him to fight back on the slide into fascism and he fails far too often.

He cannot be trusted at all IMHO.

[angrychair]

74. He is a elected Democrat

That is all that matters. I automatically accept anything an elected Democrat says as fact and always support them.

[nini]

77. Ok then

[angrychair]

79. Yep

All elected Democrats are always right and we must support all Democrats no matter what.

[mvd]

85. Is this sarcasm? Reads like it

If not, we should support Fetterman even if he wanted to drop nuclear bombs all over the world? Yes I do what I can to support what Democrats do, but there are limits.

[angrychair]

86. No limits

If an elected Democrat says we need to drop nuclear bombs all over the world then who are we to question or criticize an elected Democrat?

[MustLoveBeagles]

87. It's reading like sarcasm but I can't be sure

[Initech]

82. At this point, I wonder what Rupert Murdoch has on him.

Must be pretty damning.

[Aepps22]

84. He's a Scammer, Grifter and Fraud

Unlike Manchin, this guy was labeled as a progressive to get the seat and now he has changed for the worst but given the fact that he held a Black runner at gun point I’m not surprised. If this were Connor Lamb doing this, I wouldn’t care because he ran on being a centrist. Fetterman didn’t and now look at him.

[SunImp]

75. Fetterman would love Bill Maher

[mahina]

76. I gave him some money. Now I have to figure out how much and when and get it back.

Useless sack of garbage.

[Skittles]

78. he doesn't represent PA any more than Trump represents America

no indeed

[lostincalifornia]

80. I guess fetterman has no problems with someone who tried to overthrow our

government on January 6th, is a rapist, con man, pathological liar, etc. It is Fetterman who is deranged.

He won’t be reelected if he runs for a second term. I am surprised he hasn’t switched parties.

[Initech]

81. Enough is enough. Fire this man already.

He wants to kiss Trump's worthless ass on Fox News every night? He can go fuck all of the way off.

[Traildogbob]

83. I had a tax preparer

Have a stroke a few years back. When she was able to come back to work she literally spoke with a real heavy Irish accent. No Irish in her family tree.
They told her it happened more often than you would think.
I did not know you could come out of strike and speak and think Natzeeeeee. With an asshole demeanor.

[In It to Win It]

88. Trump does deranged shit, and Dems have "Trump Derangement Syndrome"?

[Blue_Roses]

89. Has anybody asked him why doesn't

he just go on to the other side? Why is he a part of the democratic party ?

He's a pain in the ass and does nothing to help

[Melon]

90. If he switches parties....whats the damage? He actually is campaigning for republicans with his comments.

[Klarkashton]

91. He has been repeating maga shit about the border

And now about this goddamn war. He's one to talk about derangement.

[Warren_Pointe]

92. Just because you're not paranoid,

doesn't mean they are not out to get you.

[Jack Valentino]

93. DEMOCRATS don't have 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'---- REPUBLICANS DO !!!!!

[Jack Valentino]

94. I made a huge mistake when I supported this guy for the party's nomination for US Senate---

although I knew of no clues at the time which suggested he could become
ANOTHER Joe Manchin.... I just thought he was the best candidate to win the seat,
which he did...




So Pennsylvania Democrats or others 'in the know'---
Who might be in the running to PRIMARY this guy,
if he should run for re-election in 2028 ???
