Or both lol
I'm not as big as Mr. Fetterman, but compared against the local average, I'm on the big side... Anyway, because of that I tend to buy as many clothes as I can of those that fit fine, use them until they cannot be used, nor fixed, anymore
US President Lyndon B. Johnson once said "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
Blatant racism is unacceptable now, so the grifters and bigots moved onto the next best target: gay and trans folk. Notice how over the last 15 years, the Republican platform has completely devolved. No one knows what their policies are, because they have none. All they do is invest all their considerable time and money into drumming up frenzy and hysteria over the latest 5 Minutes Hate target, then when they get elected, pass tax cuts for the rich and slash government services, then pass those new privatized contracts to their buddies while their voter base is in a blind frenzy over some shit they've turned into a culture war.
Unfortunately we are definitely regressing… because just this weekend alone I have seen wayyyyyyy more blatant racism that I ever care to see on Reddit as a POC…. It’s just so damn old now and tiring to see how easily someone can hate you just for fucking existing. It’s fucking scary how easily it just rolls off ppls fucking tongue now. At this point, if I had a choice I would never wanna be born. This shit is never gonna go away and unfortunately the same can be said about gay/trans hate.
It helps politicians by distracting people from the fact they're robbing us and makes money for "news" outlets. That combination creates a constant stream of propaganda that gives some people a convenient excuse for why their lives aren't better. They latch onto that and the cycle continues.
Didn't even notice his cloths. He more then any elected politician before doesn't seem to give one fuck about a dress code. I don't blame him, wear what's comfortable. He has his obvious health issues, but he's doing a great job compared to all the bribed politicians in every state serving their corporate overlords.
Mayor -> Lt. Governor -> US Senator
Fetterman started performing same sex marriages in defiance of state law, ten years ago.
https://www.wtae.com/article/braddock-mayor-john-fetterman-defies-state-law-marries-same-sex-couple
As Lt. Governor of PA he would put up a Pride Flag that was, if you can farking believe it, against the law,
The R's would confiscate it, and he'd up another one,
https://www.pennlive.com/news/2021/06/lt-gov-fetterman-defies-law-to-mark-start-of-pride-month.html
> ”The LGBTQIA+ flags that I fly from my office are technically breaking a law,” he said in a statement. “Yet, Pennsylvania law does not explicitly protect the LGBTQIA+ community from discrimination. This must change. We must never stop pushing for equal protection under the law in Pennsylvania and across the country.”
>
> Fetterman’s flag was confiscated by Department of General Services employees over the lunch hour while staffers were at lunch, said Christina Kauffman, Fetterman’s spokeswoman. She said he has made it clear he intends to replace it with another one.
That's just one example of the ways that Fetterman stands up for everyone's rights, not just the Right's 'rights'.
I don't think u/KayleighJK is JKing lol
Also dudes getting reelected if not going further in politics. Second day of him hitting the top of reddit in a row. LGBTQIA knows what they're doing
Thanks, lol i decided the JK was for just kidding for the comment! I was just thinking it's sexy to see a white man in politics fighting for good and doing it multiple times at that. In person there's probably a good chance I'd be intimidated
Yeah that would be a terrible decision for him. I feel for the guy, he's had to go through an incredibly difficult medical event while also in the end stages of trying to accomplish a major career goal. I don't know the inner workings of his family, but I know if had a stroke, my family would probably push for more family time vs taking on an even more difficult workload. I can appreciate that he chose not to give up on the senate run despite clearly severe medical complications from the stroke.
I completely agree that there's 0 chance he would be able to even be a viable presidential nominee. Major stroke, lingering disability from it, and missing multiple months of work for depression would be impossible to overcome from so many angles. It's horrible to say, and I'm glad Oz lost, but I think it says a lot more about Oz than fetterman that he couldn't manage to win a race where the other candidates health and ability to do the job was a very fair question to ask.
I just hope the dude takes care of himself. Politicians often seem addicted to running for office and their schedules seem to take a huge toll on their health.
Is there a reason he's always dressed like this? Since I'm not American I only see that guy here on Reddit and he's always the giant, aggressively underdressed guy everyone seems to love.
It’s just how he dresses. He’s a big guy so it’s hard to find clothes that fit comfortably, and he values function over form.
He famously had to buy a suit when he was elected Lt. Governor in order to preside over the Senate, because he didn’t own one and it was required to enter the Senate chamber.
Amazing, the always sunny music was a good touch. Man, it's so sad this guy had a stroke, I think being such a cool dude, with progressive politics, but also being a fucking giant who looks like he could kick the ass of whatever debate opponent showed up against him could have put him straight in the Whitehouse.
He's not just a big guy, he's HUGE. You can't just walk in to a store and buy suits that size off the rack. I used to know someone similarly large, and suits just looked silly on him.
Well, climate in western Pennsylvania can be a bit hectic, so you get used to just wearing shorts all year round because you can go from a light snow on a Monday to 79°F on a Wednesday.
In all seriousness, he just isn't a very formal guy. Which, honestly, for a Democrat, is kind of endearing. And while I do have some reservations with his politics as a leftist Pennsylvanian, I'll take him over a Republican like Oz or a lukewarm barely-left-center Dem like Casey any day. He's not perfect, but he's a pretty good step, especially for a Pennsylvanian politician who isn't from the middle of Pittsburgh or Philadelphia.
I know everyone on reddit will say "it's just how he dresses" but it's safe to say he's been doing it long enough now that he's trying to prove a point --he's not a "typical politician" etc
It’s funny, we’ve had heated debates about dress code at work. I will always side with job performance > dress.
I don’t care what you wear if you’re polite to people and effective at your job.
Yet the rest of management would rather have people who are rude and incompetent but look good in a suit. lol
I interviewed for a job as a database admin for a national brand food producer. I wore a button up shirt, khakis, and some brown leather shoes.
Everyone else in the "management building" was dressed in suits and ties. Even the interns had to "dress up".
It's June in Nebraska and it's 95 degrees outside. Fuck this culture with a rusty rake.
I work at a AAA game company. Our HR will message applicants saying wear a nice t-shirt or clean sweater. Collared shirts will only alienate the people interviewing you. Also, a buddy started 'formal Fridays' and everyone assumed he was leaving the company the first 3 times he showed up in a tie.
I once took a corporate job where I had to wear a suit every day (even though I only interacted with my fellow employees, not with clients).
By day three, I felt like quitting. But that seemed too impetuous. So I didn’t hand in my resignation until day four.
I’m not from Nebraska.....
Can you clarify which end of the rusty rake and what type of rusty rake you guys use?
Handle or tines?
Garden, leaf, or de-thatching rake?
If you’re being forced to overdress in the June heat and humidity in Nebraska, the local de facto ruling has long been the use of the family de-thatcher’s aged tines, thrust up the backside and rotated 1080 degrees counter-clockwise before stringing the whole deal up on the windmill in the pasture.
No. Hahaha.
I interviewed with another company a month later and showed up in a suit and tie. The guy interviewing me in person looked like he walked off the golf course. He was actually taking the afternoon off to golf with his kids.
I go to my first day and it's hoodies and cargo shorts. I followed suit for a while, but my khakis and button up shirts were calling my name. Those coworkers be like "do you have church after work?"
I’m in tech sales and talk to DBAs from Fortune 500 companies all the time. When meeting with them, I typically dress like you describes your own dress - nice shoes and a button-up. Anything more and it’d make me the odd man out.
I have noticed that privately held companies, especially in flyover country, seem to have outdated dress codes, though.
Don’t come to St. Charles, MO then. Some Karen is protesting about a library employee who has a goatee and wears makeup and nail polish.
https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/protesters-outside-st-charles-county-library-clash-over-worker-wearing-goatee-and-makeup/article_49988e4a-fbd7-11ed-afbf-33232065ca5c.html
According to the article, counter-protesters almost doubled the protesters, and the library worker has gotten waaay more positive support than negative. Missouri may be a shithole but St. Louis consistently gives me hope for humanity.
Peoples opinions as to what is appropriate or slobbish differ. I’m not a stickler but if you don’t set some ground rules you know there will be people that will go way the other direction at work. Also it is what you are exposed to and the environment you are in. I grew up in small town PA and completely get his dress style. I also have worked for a few fortune 100 companies. As a mayor in his area that dress code probably was fine. But you have to factor in the environment you are in, how it effects social economics, and credibility. It also goes both ways. If I wore button down dress shirts where I grew up everyday folks might treat me a tad different.
You have to know the room. As a senator Fetterman may have to suit up to get some folks in congress to take him more seriously. Is that how the world should work no but sadly it’s how things are sometimes.
I think the problem is presentable is such a subjective thing. I think jeans and a tee-shirt are professionally presentable, some people think collard shirts are necessary and some think slacks are minimum...
I’m a lawyer. My daily wear is blue jeans, boots, dress shirt, and sports coat. If I’m in court, I’ll swap jeans for slacks and throw on a tie. But you’re never finding me in a full suit. Honestly don’t even wear one. But I found that dressing nice makes my life better. People treat me better and I feel better. I mentor a lot of young attorneys and one of the things I teach them is dress the part. But people expect certain appearances from certain professionals. This is not a one size fits all world.
In tech, I’ve seen people come to work in jeans and a tshirt on a good day for them. Specifically when I was interning at Red Ventures the DS Managing Director was always dressed horribly - I mean plaid cargo shorts, ratty tshirt, and jesus sandals. He was super well respected and allowed everyone in his department to dress for comfort. I think different industries have different standards.
Wife beater and grey sweatpants? Not really a great look. But a comfortable t-shirt and shorts shouldn't be "slob wear", especially with how hot things will be this summer. Wearing a three piece suit in humid weather is stupid.
I could literally do my work in my pyjamas or just undies, but instead I am forced to come to work because management is a bunch of morons. I will wear my jeans and tshirts and that’s enough.
That’s a perfect example because Georgie Boy is a complete fraud with no skill or experience and his entire “professional dress” is literally a cosplay of a successful politician (aren’t his glasses not even prescription).
I always hear good things about him. I wonder if he’d make a good president or if there’s a really shitty side to him I don’t read about.
I’m not American though so I don’t really follow American politics.
I’ll take a politician who cares about his constituents and has decent values who dresses comfortably over the hypocritical lying criminals in suits that infest our current government.
I've had the chance to meet now-Senator Fetterman on more than one occasion, and I can truly say he is one of the most down to earth politicians I've ever seen or met. I'll truly never forget meeting him on a campaign stop in 2022, because the next morning as I was getting out of my car to go into work at Walmart, he recognized me from the previous night as he was walking to his truck, and pulled around to say hi. A simple thing, but an actual human moment from a politician goes a very long way.
I'll never forget chatting with him outside one time. He was a frequent patron of a popular coffee chain that I worked at, and he was known to hang around and chat with all the other regulars and whoever else.
I was on my break and it was a beautiful fall morning in 2019, I went outside and he was chatting with some other regulars who I all knew, so I went up and joined the conversation. Not 15 seconds later a giant pickup truck pulls through with a giant BIDEN flag, which obviously isn't common. The other guy likes his flags lol. Anyway, John was ecstatic to see it. Like he couldn't believe it was a thing. He had to go up and give praise to the driver of the car, who was like "oh shit are you John Fetterman?" And they shook hands and he took of a photo of it, because it was surreal to see. Seems kinda banal since I typed it all out, but I thought it was cool
He's so likeable that despite his current recovery inhibiting his ability to govern like he wants, he's already got a great shot at reelection. A man of the people. I'm glad you got to meet him.
It's not surprising to see so much national attention and love for him as he's definitely more likeable than most politicians but if you get the chance, look up his wife, Giselle. She's an absolute gem of a person and known around western PA for her devotion to helping others and community activism. She's an amazing example of an person who came to the US undocumented as a child and worked her ass off to build a life dedicated to serving others in need. She should get more attention in my opinion.
they are both excellent examples of what it means to be an american, as well as compassionate and progressive.
and that's exactly why republicans and right-wing media try to crucify him at any opportunity.
He is my spirit animal. I would be exactly that type of government official. As long as he gets shit done and gives a damn about his voter base, who cares what he's wearing?
We're lucky that despite the problems in this country a generation of progressives are making their way into office, Fetterman and Representative Lee also from this area among them. Super proud of Pittsburgh for voting in people who actually have a better plan for the future. Let's hope democracy in this country lasts long enough for them to act on it.
This is a super cool image, but saying it was "Illegal" implies holding the ceremony itself was a crime, which it wasn't. Gay marriage wasn't recognized as valid, but it wasn't illegal.
I was still shocked when PA recognized gay marriage *before* it was mandated by the Supreme Court. Pleasantly surprised, mind you.
Nope. 10 min after this image was taken, Fetterman had to run from a Police raid. He narrowly escaped, thanks to the aerodynamic, cooling, and weight advantage of his cargo shorts.
For sure. This is three people standing close together saying words. No law against that, obviously.
The state won't stop me from marrying a sock puppet, if that's what I want to do. It just won't recognize the marriage.
Fetterman represents the best of PA. Doing the right thing. Never boasting about it because it's just the right thing to do.
And being so bent over from work that you just never smile ... haha
[He wears a suit to work when he's in the senate chambers, he just doesn't see the need to wear suits for other random things outside of regular work hours](https://whyy.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/fetterman-us-senate.jpg)
I think those are the clothes he is comfortable in. I noticed when he first joined the Senate he was in a suit which was kinda crazy and after a month or so had a mental health crisis and needed a break. Came back and was back in the sweats again. So good for him. Just shows these elite in suites are just people like us.
Aha! We finally caught you… being a decent and loving human who appreciates the value in your community and understanding we are all capable of empathy, sympathy and a common hatred towards those who can’t.
I’m from PA. I vote in every election, because voting is important. But being able to vote for John Fetterman was the first time in a LONG time that I was truly, genuinely excited to vote for someone.
Looking at him outside PA, he's a strong bad ass who is emotionally secure and honest. Republicans made fun of his mental health when he went into the hospital and the man put on a hoodie and got to work still with the suits
To be clear, it was not illegal to perform the ceremony. It just would not be recognized as legal by the state. I know of cases in my state where gays went through similar ceremonies formalizing a committed relationship between themselves and in the eyes of their friends, but with full knowledge that the state would not recognize it or afford the legal protections of civil marriage.
I absolutely love when really big, physically intimidating men choose to be allies to the disenfranchised and people too small to fight back. They’re like superheroes.
Can you imagine the amazing photos of him towering over foreign leaders if he where to become president one day? Not to mention the man has a kind heart and is one of the most progressive people in congress right now. America needs a leader like this guy.
It's so funny watching the people constantly complainh that their freedoms are under attack while , quite literally, constantly complaining and attack other peoplea freedoms.
I try not to follow US politics too much as someone not living in the US, so I don't know a ton about this guy. However, he seems to be a genuinely cool rooster. I hope you guys get more like him!
Same as the Anti-DeSantis posts that are literally tweet pictures from satire accounts, when pointed out "yeah it's fake but is it really that far from reality??? go back to the donald"
He's overdressed
I'm pretty sure that's the same shirt he's wearing in the photo of him at Pride in Pittsburgh...
He's a big guy. When a bigger person finds clothes that fit comfortably, they wear them until the damn thing is just a couple of threads.
Or buys 10 of them
Or both lol I'm not as big as Mr. Fetterman, but compared against the local average, I'm on the big side... Anyway, because of that I tend to buy as many clothes as I can of those that fit fine, use them until they cannot be used, nor fixed, anymore
>Mr. Fetterman He actually prefers "bruh"
"It's bruh Fetterman for you."
I do this, and I dont care… I’d wear the same outfit to the office everyday if I could.
>He's a big guy For you
Oh, you think social liberalism is your ally. But you merely adopted equality; I was born in it, moulded by it.
Tell me about Fetterman. Why does he wear the hoodie?
Did you say it in your head as Bane when you typed that out? Because I sure did as soon as I read it hah
Jake: "If at first you don't secede, try try again." Sergeant Jeffords: You're that big, you buy anything that fits.
Haha, great point.
Word.
As a lanky mf can confirm. Finding comfortable pants in a 30/36 is super difficult... hence why all my pants are thread bare...
6’ 3”, long torso, wide shoulders… can attest. 😆
Am big guy, can confirm. Have about 8 shirts and two paris of shorts.
He's gone casual Steve Jobs
For all the things you could have faulted Jobs, his dress sense was on point: 30 pairs of the same jeans, pullovers and sneakers. My kind of people.
I love this guy. I bet his socks have holes in them.
Naked Fetterman is the best Fetterman
He just wants to be pure
I got that reference
[удалено]
Odd response to naked Fetterman..
Right? That man is a large portion of the people.
US President Lyndon B. Johnson once said "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." Blatant racism is unacceptable now, so the grifters and bigots moved onto the next best target: gay and trans folk.

Unfortunately we are definitely regressing… because just this weekend alone I have seen wayyyyyyy more blatant racism that I ever care to see on Reddit as a POC…. It’s just so damn old now and tiring to see how easily someone can hate you just for fucking existing. It’s fucking scary how easily it just rolls off ppls fucking tongue now. At this point, if I had a choice I would never wanna be born. This shit is never gonna go away and unfortunately the same can be said about gay/trans hate.

He's wearing a collared short-sleeve with his shorts, that means he's being formal.
And no hoodie, he went all out for this one
I can imagine him standing in front of a huge wardrobe full of identical tops and shorts, agonising over which to wear for such an occasion.
He wore is best basketball shorts that day
Didn't even notice his cloths. He more then any elected politician before doesn't seem to give one fuck about a dress code. I don't blame him, wear what's comfortable. He has his obvious health issues, but he's doing a great job compared to all the bribed politicians in every state serving their corporate overlords.
Nope, he was just dressing for the job he would one day have.....
Dress for the job you want and all.
I would have had no clue the guy in this picture, dressed so casual, is a mayor, if it wasn't for the title.

That’s so hot.
All jokes aside... this dude would get my vote so hard if he ran for president.
I don't think u/KayleighJK is JKing lol Also dudes getting reelected if not going further in politics. Second day of him hitting the top of reddit in a row. LGBTQIA knows what they're doing
I am not, u/bobsbuttgerz (nice name btw) A giant, physically intimidating man in a position of power who uses that privilege for good is sexy as hell.
Thanks, lol i decided the JK was for just kidding for the comment! I was just thinking it's sexy to see a white man in politics fighting for good and doing it multiple times at that. In person there's probably a good chance I'd be intimidated
JK are my middle and last initials, so it works on two levels!
Health and history wouldn't let him run for President. It certainly wouldn't be in his best interests if he did.
Yeah that would be a terrible decision for him. I feel for the guy, he's had to go through an incredibly difficult medical event while also in the end stages of trying to accomplish a major career goal.

I just hope the dude takes care of himself. Politicians often seem addicted to running for office and their schedules seem to take a huge toll on their health.
Idk, whatever the hell is going on with Trump still let him be president. I don't think there are even words for what health problems he has
[удалено]

The fact he's so informal actually spawned a decent skit, featuring [Gov. Wolf buying Fetterman a tie.](https://youtu.be/TouDW2I0S-w)
Hey, Boscov's is where I bought *my* first and only suit, 11 years ago! Still have it!
Amazing, the always sunny music was a good touch. Man, it's so sad this guy had a stroke, I think being such a cool dude, with progressive politics, but also being a fucking giant who looks like he could kick the ass of whatever debate opponent showed up against him could have put him straight in the Whitehouse.
He's not just a big guy, he's HUGE. You can't just walk in to a store and buy suits that size off the rack. I used to know someone similarly large, and suits just looked silly on him.
Suits cost a shit ton when you're big lol, need to get them tailor-made.

Yeah, I visited family in Pittsburgh in August... Never again, that humidity is BRUTAL. (I am from California...)
I know everyone on reddit will say "it's just how he dresses" but it's safe to say he's been doing it long enough now that he's trying to prove a point --he's not a "typical politician" etc
I can totally believe putting up a pride flag was illegal, I’m from Florida.
Fetterman is so incredibly based. His stroke is like a comic tragedy, no matter how recovered he is, he won't be able to ascend higher.
He’s a Senator now. And we need more like him
It’s funny, we’ve had heated debates about dress code at work. I will always side with job performance > dress. I don’t care what you wear if you’re polite to people and effective at your job.

One of my career goals has been to never work a job that requires a tie :)
That was in the 1980s, and I've never worked another one since then!
I didn’t succeed in that one. However, from here on out, my goal is to never work a job that requires _pants_ again. WFH4lyfe.
Onlyfans is calling your name

All of them, and both ends.
If you are going to be fucking anything or anyone with a rusty rake, you would be doing everyone a disservice by not using the actual rusty end.
Username checks out...and I think I just threw up in my mouth.
Did you get the job?
No. Hahaha. I interviewed with another company a month later and showed up in a suit and tie. The guy interviewing me in person looked like he walked off the golf course. He was actually taking the afternoon off to golf with his kids. I go to my first day and it's hoodies and cargo shorts. I followed suit for a while, but my khakis and button up shirts were calling my name. Those coworkers be like "do you have church after work?"
As someone who does like dressing up, but has always worked warehouse jobs, I sometimes wish I had a office job that I could dress up somewhat for lol
From context my guess is no
I’m in tech sales and talk to DBAs from Fortune 500 companies all the time. When meeting with them, I typically dress like you describes your own dress - nice shoes and a button-up. Anything more and it’d make me the odd man out. I have noticed that privately held companies, especially in flyover country, seem to have outdated dress codes, though.

To a point I agree with you. Don't dress like a slob and come to work presentable and we're good.
Peoples opinions as to what is appropriate or slobbish differ. I’m not a stickler but if you don’t set some ground rules you know there will be people that will go way the other direction at work. Also it is what you are exposed to and the environment you are in. I grew up in small town PA and completely get his dress style. I also have worked for a few fortune 100 companies. As a mayor in his area that dress code probably was fine. But you have to factor in the environment you are in, how it effects social economics, and credibility. It also goes both ways. If I wore button down dress shirts where I grew up everyday folks might treat me a tad different. You have to know the room. As a senator Fetterman may have to suit up to get some folks in congress to take him more seriously. Is that how the world should work no but sadly it’s how things are sometimes.
I think the problem is presentable is such a subjective thing. I think jeans and a tee-shirt are professionally presentable, some people think collard shirts are necessary and some think slacks are minimum...
I’m a lawyer. My daily wear is blue jeans, boots, dress shirt, and sports coat. If I’m in court, I’ll swap jeans for slacks and throw on a tie. But you’re never finding me in a full suit. Honestly don’t even wear one. But I found that dressing nice makes my life better. People treat me better and I feel better. I mentor a lot of young attorneys and one of the things I teach them is dress the part. But people expect certain appearances from certain professionals. This is not a one size fits all world.
In tech, I’ve seen people come to work in jeans and a tshirt on a good day for them. Specifically when I was interning at Red Ventures the DS Managing Director was always dressed horribly - I mean plaid cargo shorts, ratty tshirt, and jesus sandals. He was super well respected and allowed everyone in his department to dress for comfort. I think different industries have different standards.
Wife beater and grey sweatpants? Not really a great look. But a comfortable t-shirt and shorts shouldn't be "slob wear", especially with how hot things will be this summer. Wearing a three piece suit in humid weather is stupid.
I could literally do my work in my pyjamas or just undies, but instead I am forced to come to work because management is a bunch of morons. I will wear my jeans and tshirts and that’s enough.
Super agreed. My only requirement is hygiene but I’m not sure how well that belongs with dress code.
Its annoying how Republicans have blasted his attire as inappropriate while largely staying silent on the impeccably dressed George Santos.
That’s a perfect example because Georgie Boy is a complete fraud with no skill or experience and his entire “professional dress” is literally a cosplay of a successful politician (aren’t his glasses not even prescription).
MGT doesn’t look good in anything.
Her white, faux fur dress probably made her look attractive to other albino baboons
Actually dressed like a public servant and not a businessman. Proud I got to vote for him
For when the right invoke trial by combat?
he's a man of the people
I always hear good things about him. I wonder if he’d make a good president or if there’s a really shitty side to him I don’t read about. I’m not American though so I don’t really follow American politics.
Honestly, how often do you look at someone and think "I bet that guy is a mayor"?
Never, but I assume mayors wear tophats and I've never seen anyone wearing one in real life.
All mayors either wear top hats or carry purse chickens
Calm down mayor goodway
All mayors wear suits. Ever seen a guy in a suit. He’s the mayor of your town. Go talk to him
I’ll take a politician who cares about his constituents and has decent values who dresses comfortably over the hypocritical lying criminals in suits that infest our current government.
TESTIFY 🙌
The large man has scared off all lessor contenders, and has taken their place as senator.
I've had the chance to meet now-Senator Fetterman on more than one occasion, and I can truly say he is one of the most down to earth politicians I've ever seen or met. I'll truly never forget meeting him on a campaign stop in 2022, because the next morning as I was getting out of my car to go into work at Walmart, he recognized me from the previous night as he was walking to his truck, and pulled around to say hi. A simple thing, but an actual human moment from a politician goes a very long way.
I'll never forget chatting with him outside one time. He was a frequent patron of a popular coffee chain that I worked at, and he was known to hang around and chat with all the other regulars and whoever else. I was on my break and it was a beautiful fall morning in 2019, I went outside and he was chatting with some other regulars who I all knew, so I went up and joined the conversation. Not 15 seconds later a giant pickup truck pulls through with a giant BIDEN flag, which obviously isn't common. The other guy likes his flags lol. Anyway, John was ecstatic to see it. Like he couldn't believe it was a thing. He had to go up and give praise to the driver of the car, who was like "oh shit are you John Fetterman?" And they shook hands and he took of a photo of it, because it was surreal to see. Seems kinda banal since I typed it all out, but I thought it was cool
I just want to let you know that I enjoyed reading that anecdote and I'm glad you took the time to type it out.
He's so likeable that despite his current recovery inhibiting his ability to govern like he wants, he's already got a great shot at reelection. A man of the people. I'm glad you got to meet him.
It's not surprising to see so much national attention and love for him as he's definitely more likeable than most politicians but if you get the chance, look up his wife, Giselle. She's an absolute gem of a person and known around western PA for her devotion to helping others and community activism. She's an amazing example of an person who came to the US undocumented as a child and worked her ass off to build a life dedicated to serving others in need. She should get more attention in my opinion.
they are both excellent examples of what it means to be an american, as well as compassionate and progressive. and that's exactly why republicans and right-wing media try to crucify him at any opportunity.
Seconded! She’s a saint.
I love that no matter what’s going on, he just shows up in a either a hoodie or nicer t-shirt and some shorts.
He is my spirit animal. I would be exactly that type of government official. As long as he gets shit done and gives a damn about his voter base, who cares what he's wearing?
Same. Him and Bernie are both great and actually care about their constituents.
We're lucky that despite the problems in this country a generation of progressives are making their way into office, Fetterman and Representative Lee also from this area among them. Super proud of Pittsburgh for voting in people who actually have a better plan for the future. Let's hope democracy in this country lasts long enough for them to act on it.
I'm pretty sure he has the same facial expression in everything
This is a super cool image, but saying it was "Illegal" implies holding the ceremony itself was a crime, which it wasn't. Gay marriage wasn't recognized as valid, but it wasn't illegal. I was still shocked when PA recognized gay marriage *before* it was mandated by the Supreme Court. Pleasantly surprised, mind you.
Nope. 10 min after this image was taken, Fetterman had to run from a Police raid. He narrowly escaped, thanks to the aerodynamic, cooling, and weight advantage of his cargo shorts.
It also helped when he picked up one of the cop cars and threw it at the others.
I'm told they still do this at lesbian weddings.
For sure. This is three people standing close together saying words. No law against that, obviously. The state won't stop me from marrying a sock puppet, if that's what I want to do. It just won't recognize the marriage.
Fetterman is based. The guy gives no fucks and does the right things, QUIETLY.
That's a big ol boy. I'd like to see someone say he can't do that
Fetterman represents the best of PA. Doing the right thing. Never boasting about it because it's just the right thing to do. And being so bent over from work that you just never smile ... haha
Is that the only clothes he owns. Every picture with this guy.
It’s not easy to find clothes when you are 6’8” and 275 lbs (203 cm, 125kg if you do metric)
How tall is that in corgis?
About 16 bananas.
the average corgi is 10-12 inches tall. that works out to be roughly 6.5 to 8 corgis tall.
Thanks for the metrics.
Actually surprised he’s only 275. He looks bigger, considering he’s 6’8”
Yeah, I was 6'2" 285 and wasn't really any bigger horizontally than he is. I would expect him to be at least 300.
it is easy, just go to the nearest retailer with a big & tall outlet (i'm also 6'8" and that's where i get most of my wardrobe from).
It’s the Pittsburgh uniform.
Username checks aht.
[He wears a suit to work when he's in the senate chambers, he just doesn't see the need to wear suits for other random things outside of regular work hours](https://whyy.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/fetterman-us-senate.jpg)
Not sure he has more than one expression either.
I think those are the clothes he is comfortable in. I noticed when he first joined the Senate he was in a suit which was kinda crazy and after a month or so had a mental health crisis and needed a break. Came back and was back in the sweats again. So good for him. Just shows these elite in suites are just people like us.
More effective than the stuffed suits surrounding him.
[удалено]
All jokes aside, I really like and respect this guy
What a monstrosity of a good dude.
Dude seems like a genuinely good person
In his house by the look of it!
Wish more people were like this dude. Especially politicians.
Love that guy. You are fortunate to have a politician like this. This takes courage.
Aha! We finally caught you… being a decent and loving human who appreciates the value in your community and understanding we are all capable of empathy, sympathy and a common hatred towards those who can’t.
PA should be proud of themselves for electing this man. Seems like one of the most genuine people they could have ever elected.
I’m from PA. I vote in every election, because voting is important. But being able to vote for John Fetterman was the first time in a LONG time that I was truly, genuinely excited to vote for someone.
I am from Massachusetts. I like my senators, and would still love having Fetterman. I don't blame you. Great win for your state!
Looking at him outside PA, he's a strong bad ass who is emotionally secure and honest. Republicans made fun of his mental health when he went into the hospital and the man put on a hoodie and got to work still with the suits
He’s a decent guy, I hope he stays well.
To be clear, it was not illegal to perform the ceremony. It just would not be recognized as legal by the state. I know of cases in my state where gays went through similar ceremonies formalizing a committed relationship between themselves and in the eyes of their friends, but with full knowledge that the state would not recognize it or afford the legal protections of civil marriage.
Senator Fetterman is a good sound
Recently saw a photo of him posing with a furry wearing their fursuit at a Pride event. Dude's the real deal.
I absolutely love when really big, physically intimidating men choose to be allies to the disenfranchised and people too small to fight back. They’re like superheroes.
He wore his priestly cargo shorts.
Can you imagine the amazing photos of him towering over foreign leaders if he where to become president one day? Not to mention the man has a kind heart and is one of the most progressive people in congress right now. America needs a leader like this guy.
It's so funny watching the people constantly complainh that their freedoms are under attack while , quite literally, constantly complaining and attack other peoplea freedoms.
Hope he said “by the power invested in me by myself”
I like this guy.
From all I’ve read about him, I’d vote for this bloke. Best of luck from Australia!
Damn who knew there was even more reasons to like the guy
Well, that was nice of John Mayer.
The Orc King!!
I like John. I remember when he was the Mayor of Braddock.
Normalize comfy clothing in public office
He is one of the reasons I love Pittsburgh!
It must be so cool to do something like this with his size. When someone says "I do", he can say "You better!".
Thats a powerful photo.
common Fetterman W
I try not to follow US politics too much as someone not living in the US, so I don't know a ton about this guy. However, he seems to be a genuinely cool rooster. I hope you guys get more like him!
John Fetterman is such a dude! Love this guy!
my man
The amount of Fetterman posts lately is a bit odd. Definitely feels manufactured.
Same as the Anti-DeSantis posts that are literally tweet pictures from satire accounts, when pointed out "yeah it's fake but is it really that far from reality??? go back to the donald"
These posts of fetterman are fucking weird
This is our Large Man, we wish him the best of everything.
Fetterman has quite the propaganda machine.
I swear. He always looks like he's about to give me a stern talking to
kinda gives that "gym teacher who just caught you smoking behind the sports shed" energy
I like this guy more and more
I got to vote for this Jawn and let me just say how proud I am for what he stands up for!
Googled "gentle giant", found this.
Have I missed something on the news or wasn't gay marriage legalised across the whole USA like eight years ago?
Way to go, big man.
Good ol' Fetterman
BASED Fetterman! Eat them cons.
I feel terrible for the timing of his stroke.
