Nobody and I mean nobody wants his stupid bullshit ballroom. (G. Elliott Morris) Including apparently these Republican senators!

Good lord, imagine being the DNC consultant who wrote the 2024 autopsy (which has not one word about Israel or Gaza, which for my money IF Elon Musk didn’t steal it with the Italian space lasers is what mostly caused the loss) and having Ken Martin say “I am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards. I don’t endorse what’s in this report, or what’s left out of it. I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on it. But transparency is paramount. So, today I am releasing the report as I received it — in its entirety, unedited and unabridged — with annotations for claims that couldn’t be verified.” I would simply die! (DNC) CNN read it so we don’t have to. (CNN)

Sherrod Brown going hard against his opponent Jon Husted.
"My opponent in the race to represent Ohio in the U.S. Senate is backed by a longtime co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein’s.
Jon Husted isn’t just caught up in Epstein’s web… He’s taken more money from Epstein’s associates than anyone in Congress.
And get this: During a recent congressional testimony – and when asked about Jon Husted – Epstein’s co-conspirator said:
“I’m sure I helped him. I helped him politically.”
There it is. Plain as day.
But this admission reveals something bigger than a billionaire helping a senator.
It shows how power works in this country, where the rich and well-connected only protect their own… not the people they're supposed to be representing.
The system is rigged: There’s one set of rules for billionaires and Washington insiders and another set for everybody else.
And in this case, the corruption is crystal clear: Jon Husted voted to block the release of the Epstein files just weeks after an Epstein co-conspirator made a maximum donation to his campaign."
