Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was meeting last week with representatives from a teachers union in his home state when things quickly devolved.

Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred.

As the meeting deteriorated, a staff member moved to end it and ushered the visitors into the hallway, where she broke down crying. The staffer was comforted by the teachers who were themselves rattled by Fetterman’s behavior, according to a second person who was briefed separately on the meeting.

        Nah you just start that way and never change or adapt your understanding of anything. Heck you are already there with being able to misread comments and jump to conclusions about other people’s statements cause it makes you feel better if you think they are looking down at you thus giving you early permission to be condescending back.

        You make a great lemming and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise cause… Well, in proper fashion you won’t listen.

          Lemmy is for being smug 3rd party and reconfirming your own self held superiority for the basic act of being here.

          …I’m sorry, what? I tuned out there for a minute. Saw a squirrel. See you tomorrow for your response I’ll totally read.

            Glad to make your morning with my news letter.

            And notice I didn’t call myself better. We are all equal trash. Humans suck and this place is a condention chamber of that shittiness.
            I am just aware and not against the backlash of calling others out for it while working on myself.
