Help me out here. This is an horrific disaster, to be sure. But these residents voted overwhelmingly for small Federal gummint (Trump 72% in '20), and surely voted overwhelmingly for a small gummint Gov, the Repube DeWine. Yet here they are now, asking for gummint intervention. What's wrong with this picture? Whell?

Which political party do you think their C-Suite employees donate to? Whell, care to guess? Do you think they would have been fined at all under TFG's fake administration, or given a medal?

Business as usual for the GOP.

In a letter submitted to the judge before his sentencing this week, Benton said he had suffered enormously in the face of federal investigations over the last eight years, which he said had nearly bankrupted him and ruined his good name. Benton wrote that he currently delivers for DoorDash to make ends meet, and, in asking for more home confinement instead of prison time, argued that being separated from his family would be painful for them, including his young daughter. In pleading for leniency, Benton cited his Christianity and claimed he was no longer involved with politics.

Not only was he breaking the law he was grifting all along too. People like him are the ones who give Christianity a bad name.
If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

Why are these sentences so short? One could reasonably believe it was to encourage white collar crime.

The woman who believed that demonic possession can be transferred from person to person via sexual activity is now in charge of the Republican Party in Michigan. Tells you everything you need to know about the GOP in 2023.

^^Adding to your post, the woman who got elected is Kristina Karamo and here is part of her campaign speech.

“When we start talking about the spiritual reality of the demonic forces, it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, this is crazy, we can’t go there,’” Karamo said. “No. It’s like, did you read the Bible? Didn’t Jesus perform exorcisms? … Scriptures are clear. And so if we’re not operating as though the spirit realities of the world exist, we’re going to fail every time.”

Can anyone decipher what this woman is saying and one assumes that her campaign speech moved the folks to vote for her. And in case anyone is wondering, she is also an election denier.

The GOP that was made a Faustian bargain with a demagogue. Of course they have been taken over by demons. They are demons of their own imagination, but they are still demons.
