Isnât this what Kansas basically tried and led to a Dem governor? I say go for it Ohio.
Iâm sure itâll pass as the maniacs have super majorities. The only thing checking them is âreasonable republicanâ governor Dewine.
I will say the only tax I get pissed off at paying is the Ohio CAT tax because itâs calculated on gross income.
Itâs what basically every Reasonable Conservative government tries. The conservatives that arenât all in on the culture war nonsense are mostly people that are completely ignorant of what government actually does and how much it costs, and create a fiction that actually the government does basically nothing and taxes collected are just âwastedâ. Therefore, running the government is easy - you just stop collecting taxes and wasting them on nothing! Liberals are so stupid!
They only win 75% of elections with this lie.

Ohio is also overriding a governor veto to enact a horrific anti trans bill
This is less important, but Ohio Republicans are also shamelessly holding back the pot legalization that people voted for with procedural bullshit. Zero consequences so far.

Also, wow, this was crafted as a specific âfuck youâ to trans kids. Still okay for your 16-year-old to get a boob job if sheâs cisgender, I assume.
I love this quote response because its just perfect in showing that CNN is full of feckless nincompoops and prints it without any follow up, any sort of reasonable pushback at all:
âThose allegations were not true, have never been true, and the people who spread those lies have been exposed, indicted, and imprisoned,â Gaetz said in response to CNN Wednesday.
WHAT PEOPLE CNN? WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPOSED INDICTED AND IMPRISONED FOR âDEFAMINGâ MATT GAETZ? NAME A PERSON. OR CALL HIM A FUCKING LIAR YOU USELESS EMPTY SUITS.

Yeah. It should be beyond easy to add an additional sentence âGaetz did not provide any names of those he alledged were punished, and CNN was not able to independently confirm that any punishments occuredâ
Bingo bango you have now done good journalism and reported the facts without directly calling him a liar.

I mean thatâs fine but thatâs really the minimum and that was the minimum 10 years ago before all these tools showed up. If I was mr cable news network the conversation and story would go like this imo:
CNN: Weâre doing a story about gaetz, any comment?
Gaetz team: âThose allegations were not true, have never been true, and the people who spread those lies have been exposed, indicted, and imprisonedâ
CNN: Sounds good, weâll print that but we just need the names of at least 2 of the people that have been indicted and imprisoned for lying about matt gaetz, who are they?
times passes
CNN: prints story, instead of printing the above, print
"The gaetz team denies the allegations and claims that people have been indicted and imprisoned for lying about gaetz allegations, and when asked for names, the gaetz team stopped responding.
The gaetz team response is a lie. No one has been indicted and imprisoned for any of the 158 allegations of misconduct against mr gaetz. The gaetz team also lied about previous allegations on xxx, yyy, and zzz dates."

The media includes that kind of disclaimer now a lot more than they did 10 years ago.
Iowa sees you, Ohio. And theyve put in a raise
Heâs just saying what we are all thinking

Itâs amazing how obsessed Republicans are with sex
Theyâre obsessed with controlling women. The sex part is incidental.
