    Money and power. He did it for money and power. He’s a bad person. That’s always the answer.

      Yeah that’s basically the foundation of conservatives. Greed and selfishness.

    Yes, it’s not like Ohio is facing any issues at all because of climate change, https://theoec.org/thebilliscomingduereport/

    Drinking water treatment and grid maintenance? Fiscally irresponsible expenditures.

    Republicans are clowns

    Who calls it doubting, not accepting the clear evidence and facts isn’t a doubt, it’s a denial of reality.

    It just occurred to me that Ted Cruz must be devastated. Vance is a clone of Cruz. The biggest difference is the year they graduated from the Ivy League and started selling monorails to the rubes.

    My conspiracy theory is that hes sitting on a mountain of Hillbilly Elegy DVDs and this is his plan to finally sell them all.

    But yeah, he believes in whatever is making him money at any given point because hes simply 10 pounds of slime in a 5 pound sack.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
