WASHINGTON — The latest front line in the free speech war is a balcony in the Pennsylvania state Capitol — and it's being fought over marijuana and rainbow flags.

The flags belong to Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a tattooed 6-foot-8 Democrat considering a run for Senate next year, who hung the pro-legalization green leaf and LGBTQ rights flags from the balcony of his office, which overlooks the state Capitol’s front steps and much of downtown Harrisburg.

The flag controversy is pretty much all that hit the news about our “new kind of Democrat” Senate candidate (until his announcement was made to run). Figures, a flag controversy for a false flag candidate.

Why wouldn’t he ignore the law? There are absolutely NO penalties defined for violation.

He’s going to push up daisies soon hopefully.
He’s going to win thanks to shitbirds voting for Oz.

He got in the news for this multiple times, but the thing is that this is ALL he got in the news for. Did he take an active role in lobbying for the economic issues that now feature in his ads? No. The only thing that hit the news was literal virtue signaling.

Well, we really didn’t need the Chamber of Commerce globalist candidate either, though. Personally, I wanted Bartos to win, but there is so much money being dumped in this race coming from who knows where. Most for Fetterman.

I just love the Libs’ failure to follow laws or respect court rulings. They seem to only follow those they agree with. Ok, in that vein let’s discuss the a Tax Laws which I disagree with and following your (the Libs’) lead I will be protesting by withholding my tax payments....

Not saying that Oz is anything great, but if the rat wins with the economy being as bad as it is, I lay blame on the voters of Pennsylvania.

Why would anyone want more of what is going on now? They can’t be that stupid.

Fetterman will appeal to many in the same central Pennsylvania out-of-work (or sporadically work!) Scranton-Wilkes-Barre blue collar demographic that generally supports Trump. Why? Fetterman, looks like, sounds like, dresses like (has tats as many of them do!) that group. In many cases stoned & drunk is a favorite past time. Fetterman puts on a great believable-looking act here, although he comes from money and is Ivy League educated. He’s able to make his schtick stick! The main point of departure between them and Fetterman will be LBGT issues. A wedge issue here, but Oz won’t play it, can’t play it because he’ll incur Hollywierd wrath. For a celebrity that’s an important relationship. Also, Oz is fairly liberal on this and any counter that he tries on this will ring hollow. Another thing, Fetterman is actually from Pa, not a political tourist like Oz.

I can’t see Oz winning! I don’t see the Biden repudiation vote as being powerful enough to get Oz over the top. So, Bernie gets another Marxist colleague.

Another example of the need to repeal the 17th Amendment!
