A question for Mr. Shreve.

I'm planning to rent a storage locker. My choices are Jefferson Shreve, with years of experience and success in the field, or some newcomer who knows nothing about the industry but promises to give me the greatest deal possible because, as an outsider, he can see solutions to problems entrenched Big Storage would resist.

So, Mr. Shreve, who should I rent that storage locker from?

I stood next to Helmke in a restroom while we were peeing once

For a Republican he was a pretty decent mayor

Of course that when there were still a few “moderates” (pre tea bag) around. Same with Dick Lugar. Decent Mayor of Indy and one of the very last of the moderate republicans in the senate

Even though he is a D, Hogsett is pretty much the stereotype of a centrist establishment corporodem. Unless Shreve totally blows it somehow, he has a better than average chance of winning

I think those FedSoc puppets should be prosecuted for perjury. You know, lying in sworn testimony to Congress. Jack Smith could return to the Public Integrity Section of the DOJ. Or just make him AG in the second Biden administration.

The city of Chicago needs to sue the state of Indiana for the lax gun sale laws that feed gun violence to the Windy city.

Yep. Something like 5 out of 6 guns used in crime in Illinois originated in indiana

Some of the laxest gun laws in the country.

Someone pointed out that the Wild West had stricter gun control than Indiana

It's rare, but every once in a while a Republican holds views that aren't completely insane.

Shreve is in the right place for firearms, but he was on the wrong side as late as April before the primary election in an interview with a RW podcaster/streaming influencer. He's definitely talking out of both sides of his mouth to get elected. And did I mention he is a dweeb? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbBPjF2PPS4

“The personal stories from people who’ve been affected by gun violence have had a profound effect on me”

OK now listen to the person stories from people who've been affected by Indiana's abortion ban, and then we'll talk.

In a society where toddlers cannot obtain guns, only criminal toddlers will have guns.

An armed day care center is a polite day care center.

Neonatal ward massacres are the price we pay for a free society.

If you are still a Republican politician you are an assclown. There is no middle ground any more.

Glad he’s not insane. If we’re ever going to get a proper opposition we’ll need more like him.

But Joe Hogsett has been a really good mayor and deserves reelection.

See, Trump would have dropped a number of nukes to stop the hurricanes.

You simply have NO idea how desperately I wish that willful ignorance was fatal.

Better DEAD than this unforgivably dumb.

A republican showing the slightest sanity on matters of untimely death is very un-republican. It's an act of treason in the party that waters their tree with the blood of liberty.
