We are turning into a deep South state!

I see they are also going to vote on giving themselves pay raises. Nice, especially while Lordstown is shuttered and the Federal employees are laid off.

Sigh..........

surrounded by the nutty far far right. In the county I live in, if a turd was running on the Rep. ticket, the turd would win over a capable Dem. I’m involved in Dem. politics and it’s like constantly beating your head against a brick wall, trying to get smart, good, capable Dems elected.
