@TNOQuoProQuid The Ohio General Assembly just went on summer recess and won’t be back until after the election, so any movement on it is effectively dead. There have been many attempts over the years to repeal it but they’ve gone nowhere

@PresidentJRich @B1G_Ryan A cuck by the name of Jerry Cirino is 100% the “JC” in the warrant, and of course he is the State Senator for Lake County

[Garfield 🇺🇦 @garfieldkarts]

@DSportswood @Juicewag Could be Jerry Cirino if “JC” means that, county checks out

This is obviously 100% fake, originally fabricated by a leftist blogger with mental health issues. On one hand, I really didn’t want to respond because it’s so dumb. On the other hand, it’s Exhibit A of how toxic politics works & it happens often enough that I feel some obligation to lift the curtain on how the game is played. So here goes:

I’m a Cavs fan. Love going to their games, always have, I’ve been going for decades. My wife and I bought courtside tickets for Game 4 against the Knicks, and our team got smoked. It was brutal. The two of us watched the game, face in hands, in disbelief and dejection during the second half, then peaced out right after the buzzer straight to our car (accompanied by state-provided security the entire time).

No, we did not stick around to watch the Knicks celebrate their romping. There is literally no amount of money on Earth you could have paid me to sit around and watch them collect their Eastern Conference trophy, let alone watch them parade off the court to their locker room. A sharp poke in the eye would’ve been more pleasant.

But then, a left-wing Ohio blogger with mental health issues publishes that not only did I wait until after the ceremony, but that I lingered around & tried to enter the Knicks’ locker room after the game, and told them I wanted “welcome” them to Ohio. This is nuts! He also published other vivid details. Those were also 100% nuts.

But here’s how the game is played. Ohio Democrats then repeatedly boosted the so-called “story” on social media, and the Daily Beast & others write “news” stories about it. Then hundreds of others cite the Daily Beast’s reporting and literally turn their fantasy into “truth."

It’s worth observing the incentive that political opponents would have to fabricate an anonymous “tip” to a random blogger with mental issues who has absolutely no standards for publication, then to amplify the “stories” after they’re written.

The whole thing is dumb, to be clear. But it’s dirty, it happens repeatedly, and the public is better off knowing about it. It’s why sane people rarely go into politics. Anyone who does should probably have their own head checked out (including me). My team sensibly told me to not to dignify it by commenting on it. Politically, they’re probably right. But if every leader were to follow that advice, it rewards the incentives for bad actors to lie not just about me, but about others in the future too. Call me idealistic, but I don’t think that’s how things are supposed to work.

@NickyScatz Still riding off the Obama admin highs. Certain members of the Democratic political class have this “West Wing” idealism about themselves. Would not be shocked if Rahm thought of himself as Leo McGary

@TeamHusted @JonHusted Had enough time to go on this podcast but not enough to tell the public about your friend here. You would do a great service to Ohioans if you follows his lead

@_JeanLannes Ohio had been nonpartisan until Democratic affiliated justices nearly flipped the court so in 2022, the GOP with their supermajorities in the state legislature changed it to partisan.

@qualityslop @umichvoter Problem with this is that Colbert said that they couldn’t air this segment during the show so the would know either way

@BasedIllinoisan Wine consumption the likes of which you can’t possibly conceive. Was at a fundraiser there once and the host screamed at the top of her lungs that there was problem. Thought someone was hurt but the problem was that no wine bottles had been opened yet
