I want to hope that it’s this

I sell steel, and we have been telling everyone to buy as much of their estimated annual usage as possible right now in order for us to hold the pricing, especially if it isn’t mill runs and double especially for exotic alloys.

It’s going to fuck over so hard the small machine shops that are prevalent everywhere that just do whatever jobs get called out and don’t really have the sway or size to be able to negotiate a better deal.

The same machine shops that were flying Trump memorabilia.

But all the snail mail I got said things like Trump! Guns! Sherrod Bad! Things important to Ohio, or something.

/s if I have to but who knows any more this shit is ridiculous

Ohio has Issue 1 regarding gerrymandering…

…which the Ohio Supreme Court already told them to unfuck and the GOP was like, “nah, fam”…

…and which LaRose obfuscated (just like he did with the abortion amendment) via confusing language and outright lies (under the guide of free speech, apparently) to trick people into voting No

So, a No vote keeps the same crap we have now where a majority of the state has no voice. A Yes vote gives everyone a more equal say

I have seen so many signs in rural Ohio where people have taken sharpie to their Trump Pence signs to alter the letters to Trump VAnce

They are ingenuitive I guess but also like who holds on to political yard signs until the next term…

I remember when a guy got so excited his voice cracked on a stage at a rally and that torpedoed his whole political career

Now we have this gestures in bullshit

is my current spam inbox on my texts messages. I engage sometimes a la the top text, but also my name isn’t Renay and I’ve had this phone number for many many years

My sister in law is a Republican, but doesn’t like Trump, but also buys in to a lot of what he says (her entire personality is “pro-life”)

Yesterday, she’s talking to my wife, who is one of those people that keeps her conversations on speaker when she’s in the house:

SIL: did you guys ever vote early

W: yep, last several elections

SIL: I think I’m going to test them and vote on my mail-in, early, and in person on Tuesday

Me: you will go to jail for that…

They just gobble up whatever they hear in their echo chamber. Nevermind all the Republicans who have gone to jail for voter fraud

Also SIL: well the people who died two years ago that vote won’t go to jail

W: yes but the people that voted in their place did…

I’m just so exhausted trying to understand remotely where they come from

It doesn’t help that LaRose just writes whatever he wants to on the ballot issues (ie summarizing the abortion amendment down to more words than the original amendment, obfuscating this whole gerrymandering thing to make it seem as though a Yes vote will force gerrymandering into our already-gerrymandered state)

I’m surprised he didn’t just say “vote No and we will give you a free puppy and migrants will do your laundry for a year”

Omg can you imagine if Rogan fiees up a dutchie and Trump, feeling like he can’t be outdone since he’s the “alpha male,” gets way too fucked up and let’s all his bullshit out like “yeah I’m only doing this for the pussy, Joe. I love pussy bigly you know I used to grab it accordion hands”

I may also be fucked up on the dutchie

Vince should hang and so should Linda (both for a number of things)

They knew about it, fired everyone, then rehired them

But also TKO purchased them much more recently than these events, and the DOJ knew about it after it happened and went after him for steroids instead. It’s stupid bc there’s only a handful of people left who could (rightfully) face anything on this, but I don’t think TKO is one of them? Can someone ELI5 this?

Behind the Bastards did SIX whole episodes on VKM which is a great listen
