I hope so. Husted was heavily involved in the ECOT scandal as well.
-
And Husted will be all in for whatever Trump needs the day after the midterms.
-
funny, his senate career, unelected replacement for an empty suit, is what's coming to a rapid conclusion...
-
Must be looking at polling and even red Ohio must not be looking good aka too close for comfort.
-
Vance has a most punchable face but Husted is a close second.
-
And how recently did he vote to allow the Iran War to continue?
-
The adds Sherrod Brown is running about the Husted's involvement in the First Energy Scandal must really be killing him here in Ohio.

If only there was something this guy could have done! Alas, he is merely US Senator.
-
If only there was something he and his colleagues could do to help make that happen…🤔

That or we drop the nukes I guess? It isn’t like Trump just gets to say oops my bad.
-
Meanwhile the Iranian regime is just being told over and over and over: Stay the course and you're gonna have this guy (Trump) for lunch.
-
So, he’s been voting to hold his party leader accountable for having gotten into a war without authorization, and he’s voted to withhold funding. Right? Yeah, thought so.

That’s Iran’s decision now, ya bunch of dumbasses. Don’t start something you can’t finish!

Know what the nurse said to the patient on a ventilator with Covid, when asking if they could take the vaccine now? "It's too late"

So it’s a war. Then it’s an illegal war. So? What happens when a person does illegal stuff? Oh wait, the Supreme Court said Trump is immune to any charges while in office. He’s immune to charges of any crime. Our three tiered system of government can fail. This is the proof.
-
BEFORE people buy this duplicitous nonsense, how did he vote EVERY TIME a vote was taken on the Iran War? Remember the pledge Republicans took at the Dallas convention recently:
-
They’re all panicking now. Too late. November is coming.

This is known as folding quicker than Superman on laundry day because you just caught sight of a very bad internal poll
-
If only these GOP senators had some way to curtail the President … (s)
-
Yeah they’ve done nothing for two years to use their powers to reign in Trump but suddenly they’ll do it if elected.
-
If only someone in a position of power - maybe in a co-equal branch of government - had the authority to do something about that.
