This is kinda wild. David Hogg running for DNC Vice Chair.
The one where he couldn't even load a shotgun?Forgot to add:
Remember Walz on the campaign trail and his "hunting" photo op? How a few of us called it as just that, something the Left could trot out to show they are pro Second Amendment and all that? David Hogg is...
beyond anti-2A. Now he's being endorsed by Walz for a position that will help catapult him into national politics.
We'll see that hunting video again.
Yep, that one. Most people won't catch his buffoonery, they'll see a living Elmer Fudd exercising his 2A rights as a sportsman. Hogg will screech from any platform they will give him, but Walz and Co. will be there to soften Hogg's rhetoric. "Common sense gun control" and all that nonsense.The one where he couldn't even load a shotgun?![]()

Armed with a shotgun, Braddock Mayor John Fetterman followed and confronted a man after hearing what he thought to be gunfire in the streets last weekend.
Fetterman told WTAE reporter Bob Mayo that he hurried to get his young son inside his home when he heard about a dozen gunshots that sounded like they came from an assault rifle around 4 p.m. Saturday on Parker Avenue.
Fetterman said he saw a man take off on foot, wearing a face mask and goggles. He thought the person might be associated with the gunfire, so he called 911 and got into his truck and pursued.
“I didn’t know if it was a rampage. I didn’t know if it was a drive-by. I didn’t understand. No one could know what was going on at that point, other than a large number of shots were fired from what sounded like a high-powered rifle,” said Fetterman. “At that point, I made a decision as a parent, and as a mayor, to intervene until the first responders could get there and sort it all out.”
Fetterman said he confronted the man in North Braddock in the area near the railroad trestle. He said he had a 20-gauge shotgun in his vehicle, and he brandished it when he caught up to the person and ordered him to stop, not knowing if the person was armed.
“I ordered him twice, ‘Just stay right there,’ and he refused. That’s when I felt like I needed to make sure because I didn’t know what was coming,” Fetterman explained, emphasizing the firearm was never aimed at Miyares. “I did remove a weapon from my car, but I did not point it at him. In fact, I didn’t even have a round chambered or the safety off.”
The mayor said he was joined by police officers, who were responding to his 911 call, and the officers took control of the situation.
The man they caught up with was Chris Miyares, who was checked for weapons and let go when officers didn’t find any.
Miyares gave Mayo his account of the situation, saying he was jogging near Ben Fairelss School when he heard a car horn behind him.
“I pulled my sunglasses off and pulled my earphones out of my ear, and I looked up, and it was the mayor of Braddock,” Miyares said. “He jumped in his Ford F-150 and followed me into North Braddock and pulled a shotgun and aimed it at my chest.”
Miyares said he, too, heard what he thought was gunfire, but believes it came from a group of kids shooting off bottle rockets nearby.
“There were three kids in the parking lot where the Dumpster is by the library. They were just shooting off bottle rockets. I heard it when I was running up Parker (Avenue) and it kind of got me too until I looked up and saw colors,” he said.
The stroke set him free. It's like when people have head trauma then wake up from a coma and are fluent in another language they never knew.No. Just. No. This guy is a complete tool. Signed: A Former Allegheny County PA constituent.
My reasons are too numerous to count but I will leave this right here for starters.

I think I mentioned before here on the site that I had one, very brief, conversation with him a couple of months ago. It was assisted by the "talk to text" feature on his phone, but I found him interesting, funny, and able to have a decent conversation. It's a sample size n=1, and it wasn't about high-level topics, but it went a lot better than I expected. He continues to surprise.Who would have thought Fetterman would straighten up and fly right? Lol
Of all the wild narratives we have seen in this never ending carousel of sadness we call the political cycle, Fetterman and his public policy stances has to be the wildest. To watch his evolution actually gives me hope.I think I mentioned before here on the site that I had one, very brief, conversation with him a couple of months ago.

It may be some of that, but it is probably also a little bit of political survival. If he wants another term, in a state like PA, he's going to have to appeal to a whole lot more folks than hard core leftists in the next cycle.Of all the wild narratives we have seen in this never ending carousel of sadness we call the political cycle, Fetterman and his public policy stances has to be the wildest.

It's not the stroke, IMHO- it's the ideas. He's had a while to orient to the ideas of his own party and is essentially saying, "These ideas aren't good, some of these other ideas about America are better, I am going to align with them." It's less "pulling a guy to our side" and more "people on both sides can be convinced of better ideas if they work" for me.
I think I would have beaten Trump, could have beaten Trump, and I think that Kamala could have beaten Trump and would have beaten Trump.
