Doesn't he realize his PAC is supposed to buy most of the copies and juice the sales numbers on these things?

[–] sourquincelog@hexbear.net 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Either Aipac hasn't placed their order yet or he really does just work for them pro bono

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

Fetterman is such a cringe asshole liability I almost suspect even AIPAC doesn't want anything to do with him. They'd probably prefer it if he was pro-Palestine.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago

I just had a thought. What if his ego is bigger than the District of Columbia and he told his PAC not to buy copies because that wouldn't be necessary? Whatever the actual reason - it's exceedingly strange his PAC didn't do that.

He was born and raised in the barnes and noble

Same. My mom was the Manga section.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My mom was a slice of life manga, my dad was berserk, I'm a land of contrasts.

so you buy your sushi at ... IKEA?

I was popped out in the board game section.

He forgot to have his publisher buy thousands of advance copies for the purposes of putting him on the NYT bestsellers list. Rookie mistake

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I guess nobody told Fetterman that these politician bios never sell very well to real people, and that the only reason they exist is to boost someone's profile by getting an institution to stock up on them in order to place them on the NYT best seller list.

edit: I see 90% of the thread beat me to this observation

One copy was bought by CTH and the other by Trashfuture to dunk on him

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Brace probably grabbed a copy too.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Eh yes, TF is not gonna buy physical in NY

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

Should have titled it "FettLife"

Missed opportunity tbh

I almost want to read it as a bit. Curious what a pro-genocide stroke victim's scribbling would look like.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

actually A pro-genocide stroke victim's ghost writer's scribbling.

I am happy that I am not him and I am even happier that he is unhappy. Fuck this guy.

Shrek doesn't deserve this.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Unfettered asks the important questions: What if Shrek, but it had literally none of the good parts?

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The left doesn't like him because of everything he says and does, the right doesn't like him because he's still a Democrat and they probably still consider him a radical communist. Who the hell likes this guy? Jonathan Greenblatt?

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 1 points 19 hours ago

His dad likes him (his dad is a hard right republican whom fetterman calls every day and gave fetterman his only "real" job in the company he owned)

[–] towhee@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

the imaginary family living in chuck schumer's head, lincoln republican grifters, "centrist" "pundits"

It’s a shame they can’t turn this book into a movie because there is already a movie called Falling Down

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

I'd watch a movie called Fetterman Has Fallen.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't even imagine what kind of loser would read this book. who fucking cares?

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

maybe-later-kiddo maybe-later-honey who live off The View.

dunno why anyone would buy a "book" that is an uncurated collection of handprints and some chocolate stains.
