Republicans plan big spending to keep Ohio's Senate seat. A bribery scandal adds to their challenges A political bribery scandal in Ohio is shadowing Jon Husted this election year. The Republican senator has never been charged or accused of any crime, and he's said he wasn't aware of any criminal act...

According to newly uncovered texts between FirstEnergy's CEO and Larry Householder, Jon Husted was actively working to make it worse for ratepayers, lobbying to stretch the $150M/year bailout from 6 years to 10. That would have been $600 million MORE out of Ohioans' pockets. https://bit.ly/4vY8fjx

my angry post about this case this morning is now an angry article

Roy Anthony Scott was in a mental health crisis and called 911 asking for help

Cops came and killed him, & now the Court is casting doubt on whether the cops can be held accountable for his death

I loved that scene so much - it’s the hopeful look in his eyes, it’s terrifying ha

I usually have better restraint, but this person thought they had me figured out from a 10-word comment, mixed with just the right amount of self-unawareness and an excessive dollop of righteous anger… ‘twas too heady a bouquet to abstain, ha

I’ve been in a mood today lol

Do I present as a bot, y’all? Tell me true, I can take it

I love the smell of rage-quitting in the afternoon - smells like… patchouli

We be talking about voting blocs, not me individually, which tend to

I mean we could just play ad hominem games if you want; the politics were more interesting, but whatever soothes you

It’ll feel less shitty when you block me at the end of this if I’m a bot, huh

You’re drawing yourself into a corner there

Yes, I must be a bot, huh

Is it just me or does the topic seem to shift every time I give you a good-faith answer

Uh huh lol

Which makes it extremely easy to not feel bad about your opinion of who you think I am, tiny pocket Internet friend

And since you’re so super serious, I would expect you to already know that. Which means that you probably do, and you’re behaving counterintuitively anyway. So, that probably means you’re just self-soothing at everyone else’s expense

Basically, for you to demand the level of responses for me that you are, would indicate that you take these kind of things seriously. It’s pretty well proven that being an asshole and scolding. People is a really bad way to get them to do what you want…

I’m doing my best here, your Gish gallop is going along at a pretty good clip, but I’m happy with my responses. My opinion of your tactics remain remains unchanged

If you want to go back and rehash the day-to-day shifting winds of that political primary season, we can; I didn’t make it into a hill to die on, I just wanted more contenders. It didn’t turn out that way, and so then I campaigned for Harris, because once she was the candidate, she was candidate.

Does she appear elderly to you?

What info do you want? You’re really confusing

I would’ve voted for him again, though, just based on how he turned us around with NATO and the UN after the slag pile Trump left behind

I mean, I know that might sound weird, but policies are kind of important, I’ve always thought

As far as Biden‘s age goes, I didn’t think it debilitated him, but I definitely thought he was out of touch with the younger generations’ needs and wants

… which I felt pretty confident she could

My interest was in their policy positions, I don’t give a fuck about their age as long as they can make things happen

I’ve watched your tone mellow as I’ve given mostly good faith answers, but you still seem really, really motivated to make me feel bad about myself, so… You’ll probably need to come at me from a different direction
