Moreno: Not the Bernie You're Looking For (future bumpersticker)

Expand full comment

I worked the polls on Tuesday, and I was stunned at the number of registered Democrats who chose to pull Republican primary ballots. It was apparently worth it to be considered a registered Republican until the next primary, just to help set this MAGA hypocrite up as Sherrod’s opponent. That seems like a risky bet to me, and more than a little insulting to Sherrod, who’s been an outstanding senator for Ohio - especially when compared to the junior moron pretending to be senatorial material the state is stuck with as his counterpart. Btw, both Connie and Sherrod are genuinely good people, and we in Ohio deserve to have them looking out for the best interests of the people of this state.

Imma slide that Sherrod Brown a couple of bucks, but not because of him. I like him well enough, but I truly adore his wife, and I don't want her to have one single minute of bad feeling because hubby lost to this gremlin.

I made an AFF profile for a friend, sort of as a prank, in the way back years. I had one myself of course, because reasons, and was so amused by the messages I received that I had to give my friend the same fun and joy and cringe. Now I wonder if someday when my friend runs for office or something, this old account will bite her in the ass. Haaaa! I would write an honest statement about that. I am far too lazy to try to search for her old account now. Wait til I'm in the headlines in 20 years!

Sherrod Brown is one of my secret boyfriends.

Moreno's legacy should be his intro speech for Trump in Ohio. He said Christians get to meet the signers of the Declaration of Independence when they get to heaven. And then he named 4 of them..."John Jay, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Abraham Lincoln." Yup, that last one is easy, but guess how many of the other 3 signed!! It doesn't matter that the answer is zero!! He's a MAGAt! 🤪

Pranks are supposed to be funny, right? I forget why placing an M4M ad is humorous. Can someone explain?

"Ricci also donated $6,599 to Moreno’s campaign last year, so clearly he’s made good use of that internship to become a respectable guy with some money."

Or perhaps he was given $10,000.00 dollars to say he performed the "prank" with the proviso that he kick back $6,599 to the campaign?

And what a weird amount to donate; $6,599 is a very specific amount. Is that just one dollar short of a specific statutory campaign donation reporting requirement?

"it sure would be a shame if terrible homophobic rumors about that old prank were to harm his credibility with fellow MAGA types, who tend not to worry too much about whether something is true or not."

Yeah, that would be awful. I sure hope it doesn't happen!

;-P

"Gay prank." Riiiiiight. I'm getting some serious methinks-he-doth-Pence-too-much vibes from this guy.

I wish Sherrod would run commercials saying moreno is endorsed by that adjudicated rapist Trump, but he's way too nice a guy to do that, so I've been telling all my fellow Buckeyes that. Moreno is endorsed by adjudicated rapist and fraud and broke-ass Trump.

Vote blue.
