(5,498 posts)His power presiding over Medicare/Medicaid is 1/1, much more focused albeit narrow scoped.
Personally Oz is the last person Id want to see in the Senate. Very destructive grifter, in my opinion.

http://www.worldlikud.org.il/en/about-us
The Likud story began in 1925 when Russian-born Jewish leader, author and soldier, Zeev Jabotinsky, advocated for a revision of Zionism. Jabotinsky and Joseph Trumpeldor felt that there was widespread and extensive appeasement of the Zionist Executive of the time towards the British Government and its mandate over Israel. His Revisionist Zionism advocated a new look at Theodor Herzls popular Political Zionism.
Jabotinsky and his movement firmly supported the Jewish right to sovereignty over the whole of the land of Israel as had been initially agreed at the 1920 San Remo Conference, as well as the free immigration of all Jews to their homeland.
Likuds core ideology is to this day inspired by the Revisionist Zionism advocated by Ze'ev Jabotinsky and Joseph Trumpeldor. It was later on reinforced by Menachem Begin when he led the Herut party and subsequently, post a merger by the right wing Knesset factions, by Likud, meaning Consolidation, as it represented the consolidation of the right-wing in Israel.
The World Likud grew out of this enlarged Likud party when it was decided to develop an international wing of the homegrown Israeli party. This new initiative transformed into a worldwide bridge between the Revisionists Zionists from the Jewish Diaspora and its supporters within Israel.
Netanyahu Gives John Fetterman Silver-Plated Pager as Ghoulish Gift
The Israeli prime minister previously gave Donald Trump one too.
https://gizmodo.com/netanyahu-gives-john-fetterman-silver-plated-pager-as-ghoulish-gift-2000578432

Israels prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Sen. John Fetterman on Wednesday. And Bibis gift to the senator from Pennsylvania is likely to raise more than a few eyebrows. Fetterman was presented with a silver-plated pager, apparently in reference to the terror attack orchestrated by Israel that targeted thousands of Hezbollah members in Lebanon late last year using pagers rigged with explosives. This is a silver-plated beeper. The real beeper is like one-tenth the weight. But it changes history, Netanyahu told Fetterman.
Fettermans response to Netanyahu while holding the ghoulish memento was one of tremendous thanks. When that story broke, I was like, Oh, I love it. I love it. And now its like, thank you for this, Fetterman said.
Israels terror attack killed at least 42 people, including an 8-year-old and an 11-year-old, and injured about 3,250 more, including 200 critically. Israel built the pagers themselves in a major operation, producing the devices through a manufacturer in Taiwan and selling them to Hezbollah without any indication they were behind the deal. The attack was denounced by experts at the UN as a violation of international law.
These attacks violate the human right to life, absent any indication that the victims posed an imminent lethal threat to anyone else at the time, the group of experts said in a statement at the time. Such attacks require prompt, independent investigation to establish the truth and enable accountability for the crime of murder.

(23,083 posts)From the article linked in the op:
Dude really sounds out of touch with reality. Alarmingly so. How can he be that oblivious to how Democrats feel about him? Has he not heard that plans are already being made to primary him in 2028? The only possible use he could be to any Democratic presidential candidate would be as a boat anchor!
If he is really this clueless, he must have some kind of glitch in his brain that would make him unfit to hold any public office.

wnylib
(26,833 posts)He thinks he could run as VP with Vance at the head of the ticket. His chances of that are slightly better than in his own current nominal party. After all, the fascist party likes its politicians to be unthinking sycophants. They could try selling him with the same image that he projected to Dems, a down-to-earth everyday person. One who became "enlightened" enough to become a MAGA.

(60,828 posts)Which ticket? Jill Stein-Fetterman? Nina Turner-Fetterman? D. Trump, Jr.-Fetterman?
Running on the ticket of the Bureaucratic Vocalist Party, no doubt.
