Same spiel weve heard a million times. Did not explain his ideas so normal people could understand. None of that changes the fact there will always be a small faction who calls him a communist. Nothing he could say would change that. This started from a comment that someone called Joe Biden a marxist and somehow thats on messaging. My point is we can't gauge if the messaging works on people with extreme views as they likely won't listen to reason and are locked into the culture war. Link to comment

knapplc Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yet another reminder that it's not enough to defeat Trump, we have to defeat Trumpism. All these losers have to go. Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Funny. My last post ^^^ was about bad person Matt Gaetz trying to oust Liz Cheney for not supporting Trump. In other news, Matt Gaetz is in a tiny bit of a pickle because he did a small criming with some racists. 2 Link to comment

All of these politicians supported Householder’s speakership, and only one voted against the bailout. Per the FBI, Householder also benefited financially from the arrangement with FirstEnergy. According to the affidavit, at least $300,000 was used to settle a lawsuit against him, more than $100,000 went toward his Florida vacation home, and another $97,000 went directly to his campaign expenses. Householder also received personal favorsfrom FirstEnergy, like a flight to President Trump’s inauguration on a corporate jet. The corruption allegedly did not end when HB 6 became law. When groups wanted to let the public decide whether to overturn this draconian policy through a petition for a ballot initiative, FirstEnergy wired $38 million in funds to Generation Now. This money funded ads that falsely claimed the Chinese government would use your personal information if you signed the petition. It also paid for bribery, harassment, and even physical assault of people collecting signatures. It was an anti-democratic dark money campaign, and it worked. Facing this well-funded opposition, the advocates failed to get enough signatures. Ohio voters were never given a chance to overturn the bailout. HB 6 remains law. Given the investigation is ongoing, FirstEnergy and its affiliated companies are not yet named as defendants — they are referred to only as “Company A” in the affidavit. It’s likely more charges will be coming. In the six-month period leading up the bill’s passage, Householder had 30 phone calls with FirstEnergy’s CEO, Chuck Jones. The coming months will not be good ones for Mr. Jones. We are only at the beginning of the end of this story. As US Attorney for Ohio’s Southern District David M. DeVillers put it in Tuesday’s press conference, “there are going to be a lot of busy FBI agents here in the Southern District of Ohio.” The same day, FirstEnergy acknowledged that it had received subpoenas. If I were a senior executive for FirstEnergy or its affiliated companies, I would be wondering when my subpoena would be arriving. It’s not just a nuclear bailout — it’s a utility scheme to stop the clean energy transition While the FBI has largely framed the policy as a nuclear bailout, that is a narrow view of Ohio’s terrible energy law. This bill also saved three large coal plants from closing. It’s clear that FirstEnergy Solutions (now called Energy Harbor) used part of its nuclear bailout funds to save the Sammis coal plant that was scheduled to close. The law was written explicitly so that the utility would never have to open up its books to legislators. And the amounts the utility said it required to keep its nuclear plants open fluctuated continuously. 1 Link to comment

The least likeable candidate ever, followed by a 40 year career politician too old for the job, questionable cognition, questionable behavior with minors candidate. If Trump wasn't the schmuck he is, would the polls still look the same? 2 Link to comment
