John Fetterman - maybe there may be something more to it coming from an American with a green card holding spouse [View all]

Last edited Fri May 15, 2026, 12:33 PM - Edit history (1)

Dickhead's administration is targeting "illegal immigrants." Now he is escalating it to green card holders and naturalized citizens., according to an article from today's New York Times.

My wife holds a green card holder. She has done literally nothing, not in her home country of China and not here. I refuse to let her get a driver's license because, for all I know, a speeding ticket (or even a parking ticket) might get her in the crosshairs of these ICE goons. If she wants to go out, either my parents or I am with her at all times except when she needs to use the bathroom. I don't even let her shop in stores alone as she is constantly within eye shot.

Giselle Fetterman is a naturalized citizen. I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but Dickhead does run the White House like he is a mafia don, but could John Fetterman have been threatened by someone in the White House similar to a protection racket: "That's a nice wife you have. It would be a shame if something happened to her? And if you tell anyone about this communication, you'll live to regret it."

I know it sounds out there, but I wouldn't put it past them to do that in a subtle, or non-subtle, way. When I was deciding to run for AZ State House, after they rejected my wife's green card application a third time, I suspended my campaign and decided my wife was more important and family always comes first.

Could Sen. Fetterman's recent actions be because someone in Congress, or the administration, threatened his family for him to buck the Democratic Party and has threatened him into silence or else?

I know people scream "his stroke," but my mother's had two strokes and while it takes a while to get over post-stroke syndrome, maybe there is more to it than medical decline. Just saying. Feel free to disagree, but as the spouse of a green card holder, I am absolutely terrified now.
