      Columbus is good, but the rest of Ohio has 2 million people who knew exactly what a second Trump administration would bring and voted in favor of it. I’m ashamed to call myself an Ohioan sometimes.

        I think they imagined it’d be closer to his first term. Most people don’t pay enough attention to politics, and those that do are consuming bullshit rage bait from Facebook.

    Didn’t Ohio vote for Trump? This is normal behavior in Ohio. I may not agree with their logic, but I completely understand why she thinks her actions are justified.

    This isn’t news, this is just the normal day to day grim reality of living in a red state. The people that live in Ohio want this type of behavior, they overwhelmingly voted for this type of behavior. People from Ohio are overwhelmingly dumb, angry, and racist. It’s just the way those types of people are. There’s nothing they can do to control it, it just part of their biology. /S

      I agree with you, as long as you exclude the big cities like Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinati.

      Otherwise, I wish I could disagree, but I can’t. We’re a state that’s so far north it borders Canada, but we still fly the confederate flag all over the countryside.

      God dammit Ohio. Why are you like this? You know Florida isn’t an asperation, right?

        That’s how it works in every state. There are no “red states” or “blue states;” only blue cities and red countryside.

    Looking forward to her future GOP congressional run. People like this absolutely refuse to accept accountability.

      The gun nuts that displayed at protestors walking by their home had a special place at the 2020 repub convention. They only lacked the political savvy to play it into a career. You’re absolutely right.

    Way to go, Ohio.

    tangential rant about rush limbaugh

    It will never stop being hillarious to me that Rush Limbaugh literally referred to his audience as ‘dittoheads’, and for decades had an intro song for his radio show be a lament about encroaching corporations remodelling and basically destroying the singer’s hometown.

    Every fucking thing Limbaugh promoted and exacerbated the destruction of small town America.

      I’m absolutely losing it on Newsweek and their fair meter on that story…

      Looking at the article, all they do is quote every involved party that responded. Her work, his work, him directly, and then state noted facts about her no longer working for her job and her direct quotes from social media…

      And the meter pegging out under unfair left bias… Somehow.

      The delusion is insane.

        Bias can also show itself in which stories a publication chooses to publish, as well as which facts get reported and which are omitted. That said, this fairness meter thing is stupid bullshit, it’s a partisan vote button that does absolutely nothing to identify actual bias.

          Yeah, good point. The story itself can carry a left slant from the purely “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” angle.

          Stupid bullshit is exactly the descriptor for the “meter”.

      Lovins initially denied any involvement, claiming on social media that her credit card had been lost or stolen and that someone else had used it.

      “My credit card was lost/stolen, and someone attempted to use it. Thanks for the notifications! This has been reported through my bank,” she wrote on Facebook.

      “Thank you for all the recent notifications of scammers and profile hackers! I recently discovered a lost/missing credit card and an attempted use/purchase. I appreciate your patience while I manage the situation,” she wrote in a post on LinkedIn.

      The woman’s social media account has since been deleted.

      However, this was discovered to be a false statement after the restaurant reviewed CCTV footage and confirmed that she was inside the restaurant, leading to her termination.

      lol stupid and racist go hand in hand

    At least this state has good beer that I can drown my sorrows in, because people here suck.

    Edit: Apparently the woman also lied and claimed her card got stolen, amd was fired when they proved it was her on the security cam footage. Absolutely disgusting.

    Next time I’m at a Mexican restaurant I’m going to write some encouragement on my receipt (along with a generous tip).

    The woman was upset over the restaurant’s policy of allowing only one coupon per table.

    No doubt there’s some juicy irony that she’s probably stressed about money because she can’t afford eggs. Not saying that’s an excuse, I’m saying that’s extra seasoning for the Leopard >:-]>
