John Fetterman didn’t pay his school taxes from 2006-2019. Woodland Hills filed 36 lien’s against his property. He was living on an allowance from his parents. Solid citizen.

Sidney Crosby is the most perfect athlete ever to play for a Pittsburgh team. On and off the ice. Outplayed the hype. Won 3 championships. Perfect ambassador for his team, his league, his city and his country. There will never be another one like him.

Fetterman got 81% of the vote in Philadelphia County and 62% in Allegheny County. A difference of 350,000 votes. More proof that Democrats in those counties would vote for a mannequin with a D after its name. You get what you vote for. What an embarrassment.
