"Maybe McLaughlin is one of the PR specialists for whom a job is a job is a job — but at some point, even the most studied amorality tips into immorality. There are some asks that are so great that they can’t be fully shed like a cloak at the doorway when returning home each night."
Opinion | Tricia McLaughlin made her choice

“violent criminals get all the good jobs” is a common administration refrain
JD Vance: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."

the thing with Fetterman is that he was a pretty normie lib, got severe brain damage, and became a right winger. the takeaway seems pretty obvious to me
As a Senate candidate, Fetterman guaranteed voters he’d be a reliable Dem, not another Manchin or Sinema.
Constantly. It was his core promise to primary voters.
Liar.
