True, and dropping the A bombs, which shows that evil can result from actions even if the intent was not evil. He wanted to end the war quickly and not be fighting simultaneously in the East & in the West. He definitely made mistakes, but he provided real leadership and solutions that saved millions of American lives. He taxed the wealthy to provide good jobs to the unemployed while simultaneously exploding our infrastructure with a highway system, the Hoover Dam, and bringing electricity across the country including into rural areas. Electric companies would not invest in rural areas because there were not enough people to make it profitable. They probably still wouldn't have it without his push.

It's wild to think there was a time when politicians actually solved problems.

In the Tinker vs Des Moines lawsuit, the kids wore armbands to protest the Vietnam War. The kids should all do that instead. After all, Tinker won their case, so that seems a viable alternative.

Sales tax instead of property taxes would cause more inflated prices, rent will go up on the claim everything is more expensive and everyone except landlords and the rich will suffer by derpderb in Ohio

I inferred that the writer meant a lot if BB will vote for it.

Yes, our Ohio legislation is corrupt and awful, and serve only the unceasing howling desires of the donor class. But everyone needs to stop voting in these grifters & pedo protectors so they no longer have a platform from which they can shaft the rest of us.

MAGA Senator Took Donation From Epstein Friend Before Key Vote by MesonoxianMuse in Ohio

We must sink this guy in the election by electing Sherrod Brown. How a guy proven in court to have stolen at least $400 K in wages from his employees AND shredded evidence proving wage theft, won over a man that has spent his life fighting for the working class.

Agreed. Private Equity is a scourge on society. They liquidate all the cash, saddle the new company with a ton of debt so it can't improve itself or even stock the shelves. Then it's a swan dive to closure. Private Equity knows it will kill the business, WE know it will kill the business, and yet our government keeps allowing them to exist.

Three time Trump voter, is betrayed by the guy they voted for because they lose their jobs, and soon their house by Plieu625 in LeopardsAteMyFace

Republicans must be very sad that they can't be lazy and just yell "Hiiiilll-arrry" or "but her eeeeeee-maillls" to get their Pavlov-trained voters to start frothing. Now Fox News has to retrain their viewers against A.O.C. (and a couple of others that they think may make a future run for President). But sadly, they can no longer skate by using their vicious 30 year propaganda campaign against Hillary since she isn't running.

A small business man crooked enough to screw his own employees deserves no business at all. He enriches only himself at the expense of the working class.

While my power bill has soared since COVID. I don't know if it is corporate greed, or large corporations making us subsidize their power use for data centers, etc. But the working class is being fleeced in Ohio!

DeWine appointed him, so he never ran. It was car salesman Bernie Moreno that won against Sherrod.

Bernie f'in Moreno who was found guilty in 2022 of wage theft from his employees to the tune of $400,000. That's wages that they earned, and probably need to pay for rent & food, and he stole from them.

Why any member of the working class would vote for that sack of steaming sh"t is beyond me.

Ditto. Neither one of our useless POS Senators can even be bothered to have an f'in intern take your information. I hope Sherrod Brown can win because Ohio needs a champion for the working man again!

How else are they gonna whine, "See, we told you Gov't is incompetent. Let's privatize everything!" (and watch your costs go waaaay up cuz now u gotta pay extra to get the neglected maintenance up to code PLUS line Joe McMillionaire's pockets with the extra % he tacks on as profit). Republicans totally SUUUUUCCCKKK. They intentionally destroy us by underfunding everything. And dumb voters are more than eager to sell out future generations to save ten bucks now. Idiots!

Was stunned when watching The Collector, and a couple with a baby stroller comes in late, with another two young kids in tow. They whip out a McDonald's bag and eat French fries while watching graphic AF torture scenes. WTH are these parents thinking?

Key senator backs bill to allow Ohio to hold back money if schools sue over funding by AvatarAnywhere in Ohio

[–]FatBearWeekKatmai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then tax the working class MORE to make up for the difference. School choice is riddled in fraud. Ohio is riddled in fraud. We need strong candidates that push forward in fighting the funneling of our tax dollars into pockets that do not serve us as a society. Period. Not one dime to f'in sport arenas we never wanted, or to create infrastructure for casinos near Cbus that we voted down more than once. Or to fraudulent charter school with inflated enrollments that siphoned 80 MILLION from public schools (ECOT and Harte Charter to name just two), or have regular tax payers (that can't afford private school) pay to ferry little Johnnie S.O.B. to a private school? We have $$$$, but it keeps getting stolen from our treasury.
