Ohio Elects Crypto Bro to U.S. Senate

Republican businessman Bernie Moreno has defeated long-serving Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in a pivotal Ohio Senate race, contributing to the GOP's shift in control of the chamber. Moreno, 57, is a former car dealer from the Cleveland area who has recently focused on blockchain technology. He was once a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, calling Trump's rhetoric in 2016 "like watching a car accident that makes you sick, but you can't stop looking."

But just like J.D. Vance who called Trump "America's Hitler" most, if not all of the Republicans gave up their patriotism in favor of their blind ambition.

Ohio replaced an eagle scout with a crypto bro. They deserve their fate.

Ohio continues to be the home of the Taft family, long famous in Republican politics. Other than those in Greater Cincinnati, I'll wager that GOP voters in most of the Buckeye State couldn't tell you the name of the man known as "Mr. Republican" (Answer: Robert A. Taft), and cannot explain what titles William Howard Taft held in his public life. A state once known for solid representation is now lead by a car dealer and player (pronounced: political hack and Trump boot-licker) to be named...

Trump is going to deport every Haitian in Ohio who is not a legal permanent resident. Hopefully he sends them to Haiti and not venezuela.

"like watching a car accident that makes you sick, but you can't stop looking."

Interesting how quickly such things as character, morals, and patriotism become meaningless to someone who finds they can profit one way or another on someone else who lacks all those things.

Also funny/sad how the GOP Est that Trumpers say they revolted from LOVE Donald Trump.

Who's only concern is himself.
