Tiedrich rant: John Fetterman is still a fucking boss
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/john-fetterman-is-still-a-fucking
last February, I wrote a thing called John Fetterman is a fucking boss, about Fettermans public struggle with depression following his stroke....
seven months have passed, and John seems to have set his troubles behind him and just this past week, Fetterman has shown us all why hes still a fucking boss....
recently, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer relaxed the Senate dress code so that John could wear his famous hoodie in the well of the Senate. no big deal, right?
wrong. the entire wingnut outrage-industrial complex blew a fucking gasket. you would have thought it was the burning of Atlanta and the sacking of Rome all rolled into one and the loudest howls came from the Republican screech-monkeys in the House of Representatives.

Fetterman Rocks! We need a song about him. He's like a folk hero, we're very fortunate.

We need more Fetterman's. More people ID with him than just about any stuffed suit in the Senate

I couldn't vote for him (wrong state!) but by gawd, I did support his campaign.
I'm very proud of him and thrilled that he won his Senate race and is now a force to be contended with!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, John, for BEING a DECENT human being,
who's concerned about the things that actually matter -
ie, LEADERSHIP in difficult times that seem to be speeding up, not gearing down.
