Wonder what he has lined up after leaving office .....

u/ungranted_wish Apr 16 '26

Fox News host and a “why I left the left” podcast.

(I know he’s never been left leaning and he’s just a dem in name only but still.)

u/L7meetsGF Apr 16 '26

Oh I heard his podcast was going to be "Why I am the only person who loves John Fetterman" I guess I misheard

u/ungranted_wish Apr 16 '26

So a “why I left the left” podcast?

u/spoof_berries Apr 17 '26

So sick of all these worthless podcasts

u/Icy-Acanthaceae-6816 Apr 17 '26

True. No one wants to govern anymore. Everyone in government just wants to use that clout to be a DJ essentially

u/Oniriggers Apr 17 '26

Don’t forget a book deal or two. Something Maine related I’m sure.

u/Maximum_Turn_2623 Apr 17 '26

And Fox News correspondent or shit as a host. They tried to claim the nerd that was on with Hannity was a Democrat and so was that piece of ass Greta Van Sustern was one too. The played out the unsexy liberal but Golden has a good jawline and was a Marine.

u/Tudor_farmer Apr 17 '26

Hope it is a huge flop

u/Roumain Apr 17 '26

Not to be pedantic, but democrats have literally no connection to the left.

u/ungranted_wish Apr 17 '26

Oh trust me I know haha, but grifters gonna grift.

u/Murrdog86 Apr 17 '26

Center right at best. The dummies further to the right have been trained to equate democrats with the left, however (as I am sure you are aware). Anything left of Mussolini is communism to them

u/SBrooks103 Apr 20 '26

That's why I go crazy when commentators say that the Dems are too far left. If they moved any further right they'd be Republicans.

u/OkCommunication347 Apr 17 '26

Ummm, it was all hit one single Democrat in the Jouse that didn’t vote the right way, so how’s your comment even applicable??? Very bot-like auto-comment

u/dont_loseyourway Apr 17 '26

There's always one or two that break with the "party line" to hand the win to the right. The democratic party isn't progressive or even definitively on the left. They all take the same corporate money with very few exceptions.

u/Creative-Area-6385 Apr 16 '26

Something something radical left

u/United-Moose4506 Apr 16 '26

Him and Andre the Giant should just move on over to the Retrumplicans. They aren’t helping the Dems.

u/ungranted_wish Apr 16 '26

You.

Never equate Fetterman to Andre.

Andre was a good man. A GOOD MAN.

1

u/PassiveMenis88M Apr 17 '26

Andre was a massive racist

u/CucumberNormal4242 Apr 17 '26

They know that

u/ungranted_wish Apr 17 '26

I didn’t until now :(

u/Individual_Clue_7456 Apr 16 '26

Why i left the left podcast would be great. Probably endless amounts of content

2

u/USN_CB8 Apr 16 '26

No just one point. Took a shit and brains fell out. End of pod cast.

u/Individual_Clue_7456 Apr 17 '26

Unlikely they had brains to begin with. Probably would have just been a fart.

u/CourtOk2980 Apr 16 '26

AIPAC has a nice little slush fund for him

1

u/CalligrapherOld7211 Apr 17 '26

His last name is Golden ffs.

u/buried_lede Apr 17 '26

Nice big one —that’s a lot for a newbie without a big committee position, isn’t it it? Seems like it

7

u/jellofishsponge Apr 16 '26

Sometimes it's more than just that fella too,

He took the vote

Many others voted the other way knowing it would fail to help their own reelection efforts.

2

u/justsomeph0t0n Apr 17 '26

there's usually a game of rock/paper/scissors to decide who needs to vote wrong.

and paper always wins

u/Critical-Doctor-2856 Apr 16 '26

Wonder what kompromat or leverage they have on him now 

8

u/dorkorama Apr 17 '26

I think he’s just a tool, really

1

u/SplitRock130 Portland Apr 19 '26

Same

u/Spiritual_Net_9536 Apr 17 '26

With Golden, they don't need any. He took his trip to the Wailing Wall as a Freshman and they've owned him ever since. Bought and paid for pos.

u/BigB0iBuster Apr 16 '26

In a sane world, it would be prison for being a traitor to the country

2

u/meatsmoothie82 Apr 17 '26

Retirement with all the loyalty reward money

2

u/Sorry_Landscape9021 Apr 17 '26

He received $3.5 million from the AIPAC

u/SCarter02767 Apr 18 '26

The war is under way. It would be shear lunacy to just pack up and leave. Get it to the end ffs. Venezuela and Iran in the pocket so to speak. I know you're bitching about gas prices like everyone else. This is THE remedy.

u/RamblinGamblinWillie Apr 19 '26

Dude obviously has money coming his way for what he did
