and a waste of time. I live in the hills of TN.

I wish Ron Howard and all involved in the movie would make a statement. I did not watch it either.

But the book enthralled me, my parents were from the hills of KY, my dad enlisted in the army when he was 16 (lied about his age). He got a job at the steel mill in Mansfield Ohio. Parts of his story were very similar to my childhood. Who knew he would turn to politics and be a Trump Boot Licker. His family must be … proud?

I am unfortunate enough to live in the same state with this sewer dweller.

The only bright spot is that this is a guy that would turn on Trump in heartbeat if he saw a way for it to benefit him.

Total scum.

His opponent, Tim Ryan probably won't win here in the Red pit of hell they call Ohio , but at least he will make a decent showing as long as he keeps his focus on manufacturing and farming.

Because of the gerrymandering the Congressional races are all but cooked before
the 1st vote is cast but statewide Ryan has a very good chance and his links to
Trump might not be helpful too. Trump is a Russian agent*, a fucking crook, and
tried to violently overthrow our Constitutional Democracy which to a racist dumb
ass base in OH is good for @ least 30% of the voters lets hope OH has a enough
sane people left who will vote for Ryan.

BTW you are right much of OH has become Alabama north. Hate talk radio & TV
along with right wing disinformation web sites and OH's Christian Taliban has
taken what once was one of the most educated states and sunk it into the gutter.

He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.

Vance is a tiresome garden-variety MAGAt, but Josh Mandel is a loathsome menace. Living in Ohio, we are becoming accustomed to MAGAt scumbags in government. There is *some* small relief that Mandel lost the primary.
