You have no idea how unbelievably pissed off I am about all of this and the fact the Ohio Democratic machine is so thoroughly cucked that they can't seem to make political hay out of a scandal that screwed everyone in Ohio in the wallet.

It's like a fever dream that this state went for Obama in 2008.

The fact that Ohio went more for TFG than even Texas
The fact that Ryan lost to hedge fund Vance
The fact that DeWine got reelected after almost acting sane during COVID
The fact that Yost sends out mail-in ballot applications every major election, without being asked and no one complains

I keep telling you farkers we need our own Fark tag...

My son got accepted to Miami of Ohio--he decided to apply just as a sure-thing with their 98% acceptance rate. I was so relieved when he was accepted to Purdue. Still waiting to hear about University of Michigan, but even Indiana is better than living in Ohio. I have no reason to hate Ohio--sorry Ohio Farkers. Really. I just wasn't excited about him going there.

You gotta fight fire with fire.  If Ohio is gonna foom Our Democracy, Biden should doom Ohio with atomic fusion weapons.  Just glass the place.  Maybe, if we are lucky, dooming Ohio will save the rest of humxnity from Ohio.  If it isn't already too late.

So if democrats can't outbid republicans on bribes, then why not just kneecap conservatives to start?

Then audit these people who bribe officials into either poverty or their suicide; whichever comes first.

I've warned Farkers multiple times that Ohio is the new Missouri in terms of politics.

Both were former swing states that was a strong indicator of how the election would go overall, now both have gone hard right.

In 2008, McCain won MO by less than 0.2%. In 2016, Trump won MO by 18.5%, a margin greater than Mississippi.

Depending on what he is going for I would take Miami over Indiana. Purdue is better than both though, as is UMich

Its not just the Ohio, the whole Democratic machine keeps making the same mistakes.  It assumes that Republican voters can be made to see the light if they keep pointing out the Republican party's faults, and they and that right leaning independents are like them and votes for what's best for them, not for what sticks it to someone they don't like.

That legislation, signed by Gov. Mike DeWine, gave FirstEnergySolutions more than $1 billion in ratepayer money to bail out its nuclear plants and a separate, $20 million to $50 million annual subsidy to prop up its coal plants.

Why didn't they just go to the Saudis with Jared?

That's actually form Velma on HBO Max.

so, we get cozy and start the show, within a minute i had to turn it off and apologize telling her that's in an adult show.

it is an absurdly ridiculous show.

I believe the portion of Lake Erie that touches Ohio went from super polluted, to super clean, and back to super polluted since the state has gone hard Reich, as well.

As long as you're fairly close to one of the major cities, you're okay. It's when you get out into the rural areas where there are pole barn housing, trailers, TFG flags bigger than a van, Confederate flags, etc.. that you're in trouble.

You may laugh all, but the perfect atmospheric conditions exist in Ohio, with amazing clouds which reflect the light. In the Wayne National Forest in the perfect situation I was in awe.

I lived on the east coast for 5 years, west coast for 6, and gulf/atlantic for 3. I watch almost every sunset and sunrise, that is my thing. Probably 4-5 a week of each, and I am telling you a midwest sunset in ohio's hills is so farking gorgeous.

I am not saying the others were not beautiful at times. They were. But Ohio, and Kentucky I might add, were farking amazing.
